Wood Duck in Winter

I spent the last two months unable to access any of my art supplies, other than my iPad and Apple pencil. This painting is me challenging myself to really dig into Procreate and learn how to paint with it like I would with an acrylic painting.

I pulled up the pictures I had saved on my iPad, found one of a wood duck standing in an icy stream, and split screened it with Procreate. I started with really rough shapes, and just kept refining and refining it until I was happy with it.

Luna Moth and Moon

Inspired by the 'Moonstone' prompt at the [community profile] sunshine_challenge. These are taken with two different types of light sources, so the metallic paint shows really well in one, but the normal water color paint shows better in the other.

LOTR Quote Icons

For the [community profile] snowflake_challenge day 6, the challenge is to create something. I sort of ran out of time, and had a bunch more quotes saved and planned to use. I may finish this set someday.

Some are from the books, and some are from the movies.



I suppose if anyone has a fav quote you would like turned into an icon, you can put a request here.

Amphitrite

For the [community profile] sunshine_challenge. When I read that Amphitrite had a crab-shell helmet, I immediately thought of cheek protectors made of crab claws.

Deepwater

This was art that I did for the 2018 [community profile] capbb, but my writer dropped out, and this was never posted.

The story was Sam, Bucky, and Steve growing up childhood friends, someplace near the sea where whales come in close, and the freedom they found in a sailboat they were restoring. It seemed like a lovely, peaceful story, and I wish it had been finished.

This piece was inspired by one of the scenes I was able to read. It has an extreme aspect ratio to reflect the depths and un-knowability of the ocean. It isn't quite finished, but I still like what I was doing with it.

The Polar Sea

Rating: G
Fandom: original art
Characters/Pairings: whale mermaid
Content Notes: I was searching for bathing suit pics for references for this challenge and saw a pic of someone in a bikini resting on the edge of a sheet of ice and wearing a toque. Thus we have this whale mermaid. I had way too much fun making the cracks in the ice berg and had to stop myself. Kept the palette limited to get it desaturated. Watercolors (everything except the toque is ultramarine, burnt sienna, and phthalo blue), Pentalic Aquajournal.
