New Background for Doll Theater: Pink Roses with Black Lines
I made a new background for Doll Theater. This is just what I call my bjd doll photoshoots. I went for a bit of a vogue type of look. I started by making black lines. I used blue tape to make the perfect black lines. I added a bit of a splash spray effect to give if a more galaxy look. When I felt that there was something missing, I added glitter. In the sides, I made some heart shaped glitter patterns. In the middle, I did my palm prints. After removing the tape, it was time to add the...
Hollow Knight White Christmas Movie Poster Fanart
Today, I did a new Hollow Knight Christmas fanart. I chose to reference the movie classic White Christmas. I saw that old movie a long time ago. They just don’t make good movie musicals anymore. I have a thing for old movies. I make Hollow Knight fanarts of them from time to time. In this one, I had Hornet, Quirrel, the Collector and Emilitia as the two main couples of the movie. The movie poster also showed a sled with two horses. I added the Nightmare Grimm in the background, with two Grimmsteeds. That area needed a dab of red....
Self Portraits: Otto Dix and Eyvind Earle Style Watercolor
I made two new sets of watercolor paintings. I first drew it with pencil. I traced over it with ink. I erased the pencil lines, before adding the watercolors.

Most of his work are landscape and portraits. After both wors, he got into making religious and post war suffering paintings. I chose this simple painting to do my self-portrait. I found a photo of myself in a red dress. All that...
Ink Art: Metallic Snowflakes Paintings
I made new snowflake art. This time I painted it on black paper. Black paper is ideal for making metallic looking paintings. Those colors just pop against a black background. I used pixiss ink and paper. I also took photos of both the finished and wet versions of the paintings. The ink tends to move about as it dries. This is why it is important to study how paint dries. I suppose watching paint dry is only exciting for painters. I also did a Tiktok and Youtube video of these artworks. You can see all the...
Ink Art: Snowflakes White and Pink Paintings
I made new ink art. Since it is Christmas time, I decided to paint snowflakes. I had never done snowflakes ink art. So, it was an interesting project. I learned as I went. I took photos of the wet and dry versions of the paintings. I also photographed a few details. It doesn’t snow in Florida. So, I looked up a few snowflakes for references. Starting with the first painting, I had no idea how I was going to make it. I started by saturating the paper with ink. I added blue ink. I curved the paper...
