anime, fanart, hollow knight, painting -

I did a new Hollow knight poll. I wanted to know the fashion that the Mantis Lords should wear this time. The winner of the poll was Boho fashion. I looked at a few looks over the top. I ended settling for these three different types of boho looks. One is a dress, the other is short jeans that last one is a skirt. I used pinup poses for the hollow mantis lords.  I have a collection of dynamic poses I find amusing. The ones from pinup magazines tend to be quite dynamic. So, I use them on a regular...

anime, cute, dot hack gu, fanart, painting -

I did a new dot hack gu poll. I was trying to decide the theme of the next fanart. The winner of the poll was Pi. She won by a narrow margin. It was between her and Endrance.  She won by a single vote. So, she is the one who is going to wear the pretty kimono. I chose an ukiyo-e print. Those prints have decent designs. Here she is standing there looking pretty. The kimono has a lot of small moving parts. The background is something simple. I didn’t want to steal attention from the kimono. If you like...

I made new ink Mandala art. I used a nice plastic stencil to make the patterns. I placed the pattern in the center. I then painted over it. It is important to use stencils with big holes.

As long as the pattern is strongest in certain areas, the mandala pattern still persists. This type of artworks looks best on black paper. I think my new...

I used black paper for these artworks.   Is started by spraying white ink. This allowed for the colors to be visible. I allowed for the van to dry the white ink a little. I then placed the stencils. The first artwork used two stencils.  It created interesting patterns. The difficulty was lifting it up, while keeping in frame. In the second artwork, I placed the stencil in the middle. This created a defined Mandala...

alcohol ink, painting -

I made new ink art. I was experimenting with stencils. I started with a soft wash of colors. I then placed the stencil on top of the artworks. I didn’t give it enough time to dry. So, the colors in the blue version moved outside the stencil. In the second artwork, I did give it a little bit more time. So, the shapes were more defined. I am pretty happy with the final results. I mostly worked with one metallic color for the pattern. I wasn’t feeling confident enough to add more colors to it. In any case, I photographed...
