"Post your Art" Thread

If you don't mind me asking, why would you say this was out of your comfort zone?

It's partially to do with technique - this is a greyscale to color piece rather than starting with color or only greyscale, and I drew and painted the character first, before adding a background (I usually paint that as I go too).

That being said skin tone, gender and clothing textures were things I tried to push in this too. I have a pretty solid portfolio of generic white fantasy males in leather armor - the opportunity to explore things like how an African character often doesn't have brown skin but rather a spectrum from red to purple, or the differences in facial features even between people on two different sides of a continent were details I hadn't explored before. The person got up in arms that I would consider an African character subject a 'study' and thought it to be condescending.

Here's a watercolour I did two years ago. (I can't remember if I posted this already and I'm too lazy to check.)

Hey, so I was fucking around and made this neat Kiwi Atari gif.

I call it "Safe Space Invader"

Was thinking about using it as an av, but I'm pretty attached to the one I have, so if anyone wants to adopt it you can, and can even use the name too.

Here's a slightly different one:
