Not the most original thing ever, but here's a badly hand-painted skull bandana I got the random urge to make after hearing of Deagle Nation's return. Unlike every other skull bandana I've seen this one only covers the face and not the neck.

Spoiler: SKELETIN WOR!

Sure you didn't get that urge after playing Splatoon?

Nice job on catching the second influence!
I realized I was painting the skull freakishly crooked and tried salvaging it by basing it off Splatoon. Squids don't have bones but there's skeleton related stuff in that game, go figure.

Don't produce stuff too often so this is old. The second one is from an animated short.

Nice placement!

Thanks. For a long time, I was making all my art in the same dimensions as my screen resolution (1920x1080) just because I figured more space = less restrictions, but after some time I realized it was kind of oppressive having to fill in so much space and devise a composition that makes full use of so much space without being underused. I think if I constrain the "canvas" size to smaller dimensions (like in this case, closer to a tight square), it's easier to make a composition that doesn't feel too empty, and there is less background space to be filled in. A lot of times before I was trying to find a composition that would fit the canvas size, when really it seems I should have been reframing the canvas to fit the composition

I feel like if I had taken some art classes or read up on art theory, I would have realized that kind of thing ages ago and not have to slog through all this trial and error stuff.

Hello! So I mostly lurk, don't really post much. However, I do have some art to post here, yes.

Now, I mostly draw stylized animals and furry shit on my own time because it's what I find fun to draw. (I do draw stylized people too but I don't have any good recent [finished] drawings to show here)

Spoiler

I also draw observational/photo-referenced stuff (mostly for practice and for school assignments). It's all traditional pretty much.

^^^Oil Pastel Shit

^^This one's acrylic paint. (RIp the shoe sucked it kinda fucks it up but oh well. Also I fucked up on the left hand. Even with its errors and such, I still kinda like this piece though.)

Yeah. That's pretty much it.

Don't feel bad, I never really thought of that at all myself, but then, I was still learning art the traditional way back in school with barely any real experience with a computer outside of the B&W MACs I've used. I suppose the principles are there though. Working with a bigger piece of paper or canvas does open up a lot of problems when it comes to details or making the most of the space available. Working with a smaller format does make things a lot easier to place the objects or settings without feeling like the viewer's eyes are not picking up what is important to see in the end result. I just noticed this now when working with higher res drawings that force me to use a thicker grade of brush or pen in Autodesk Sketchbook.

Here's a couple of digital drawings I did based on some sketches I showed earlier...

And now my usual doodles!
