Hollow Knight Degas Painting Parody Marissa and Monomon as Ballerinas
Today, I did a new Hollow Knight Painting parody. This time I was poking fun at an Edgas Degas Ballerina painting. He has more than 1500 ballerina paintings. He was born rich, but one day his family went bankrupt. To escape the poor house, Degas began to paint ballerinas like crazy. His ballerina paintings always sold well. Through them, he was able to rebuild his family fortune. Changing these Hollow Knight maidens was an easy task. Monomon’s Jellyfish body lends itself well to the ballerina anatomy. I removed her creepy coat, and I exposed her arms. For Marissa, I made...
Gustav Klimt Can’t Paint Feet
I was reading a biography of Gustav Klimt while I was in the can. I like to read while I am doing my business. It is a good way to relax and do something productive with my time. I was looking at the paintings and drawings over the top when I noticed something peculiar. Gustav Klimt can’t paint feet. Well. It is a bit of an exaggeration. He has drawn feet before, but the mere act of drawing them frustrates him. The features painting above is the inspiration of this blog. One foot shows signs of being redrawn like 100...
Zote Bonaparte Hollow Knight x Napoleon Art Parody
I did a new Hollow Knight Art Parody. Above, you can see the painting that I am parodying. It is called Napoleon Crossing the Alps by Jacques Louis David. I thought that the composition of this painting would work for a funny hollow knight parody. Zote has a Napoleon complex. For those not familiar with the complex, it defines a person with a domineering or aggressive attitude, who uses it as a form of overcompensation for being physically small or short. Zote is rather small and weak. Though, internally, he perceives himself as a powerful warrior. This fanart is meant...
My Three Favorite Landscape Painters
Today, I wanted to write a little art blog about my three favorite landscape painters. I wanted to do more, but I really don’t like landscape painting that much. Before photographs, landscape paintings were the only way to capture the beauty of nature. There are two types of landscape painters. I am not saying that one type is better than the other. There is the landscape painter that shows nature as it is. And then, there are the landscape painters that show an idealized form of nature. Both kinds have their own merits, but I am not here to have...
Artsy Sister's Top 5 Favorite Painters
Today, I wanted to write about my favorite painters. Every artist has a favorite painter or two. My favorite painters may not be the same as yours. One’s favorite painter is a reflection of what we consider good art. They also represent what type of art we aspire to create. Without any more preambles, I am going to list my five favorite painters, and the reasons why I find their art so appealing. I chose five painters because there is not one particular artist that I consider the best that there ever was. I like the artworks of these painters...
