A Tribute to Avicii | early 2019 | SPEEDPAINT
Reposting some of my favorite paintings from the past year or so. This piece is rather personal to me, all info below the cut from the original description!
Rest in peace, Tim. </3
“[April 20th, 2018], Tim Bergling, better known under his stage name, Avicii, passed away. I wrote about my feelings regarding this in detail last year, so I won't ramble on for too long, but after creating this, I feel liberated, I think this is what I needed to make to move on. This is one of my favorite pieces, deeply personal to me, and I hope the passion that went into it is visible. Here's to the man, I know he was perpetually and horribly stressed in life, so I hope he's finally at peace. Thought the Bismarck flying fox fit due to the angular white markings on its face, it's truly a beautiful animal. The background is inspired by his songs "The Days," "The Nights," and "Sunset Jesus." The composition of the piece is a reference to his logo: ◢ ◤”
Trying to fight art block @_@
There’s no way these two can afford phones
More Bill and YV PLEASE I'm obsessed
Always happy to provide, anon! Here are some unseen sketches from The Archives™
I need as many opinions as I can get on something. I'm entering a big contest for a creature survival game I play a lot to make a thumbnail to be used on its main page. This is an image meant to represent the game and is one of the first things new players see. I've spent the whole day on these concept thumbs and would love to hear which you think I should go with as well as any other opinions. Tysm!!
Thank you so much for letting me take part in this project!! It looks absolutely amazing all put together and it means so so much to me. One of my favorite songs by my favorite artist paired with my favorite show and favorite old men. <3
And here it is at last! The Gravity Falls Multi-Artist Lyric Comic tribute to the Stan Twins, "Trouble"!
Stay tuned, as @stariousfalls is working on making all of this into a video version. That will be coming along in the next few weeks!
And of course, Happy Birthday to Dipper and Mabel! (Even if this project was Grunkles-centric, Stan and Ford's stories wouldn't have come to such a heart-warming resolution if it wasn't for their niblings. Credit where it's due!)

(I'll have remarks and thanks in another post; but for now, thank you SO MUCH TO EVERYONE who worked on this and made it spectacular!)

Study, ~2 hr
Feeling weird about my process rn and figured it'd be good for me. Mainly trying to work on color, light as it plays on fur, shape language and behind-the-scenes stuff like layer blend modes and orders. I feel I learned a lot about light here, actually! Subsurface scattering is way more prevalent than I thought. That, and leaves are very reflective.
Original by @luneri ! Tell your kitty I think he's a very pretty boy
And it was all yellow ~ 🎵
Needed footage for my K&Z video essay so I bumped out a speedpaint of this at like four in the morning. Didn't come out exactly as planned but I still like it!
Pines Pile | early 2019
Another crosspost since this seemed to be pretty popular on DeviantArt! Thanks to my buddy Kat for the perfect title. :D
One of my favorites just for how sweet it is. I cannot get enough Pines cuddles!
Original description under the cut. <3
“A remake of an old piece of mine that I loved the concept but kinda hated the outcome of, haha. There are few things I love in this world more than Pines cuddles, so it's a more personal piece to me. And yeah I know that's kinda weird considering they're not my characters but pff but what can I say, I love these guys. It was nice to go back to cel-shading again for a bit, quite interesting! I did however give in near the end and cover like the entire thing with a free cloth texture though because I was getting sick of working on it, evident by the background, which is, uh, not great, but hey, it's presentable for the most part! Plus, I'm tired of not posting, haha. I noticed when I was finishing this up that this is kind of similar to an old piece by Archervale. This was totally unintentional, my apologies!”
Mystery Twins | Sep 1st 2020
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE KIDDOS!! Here’s a traditional piece I did for ‘em last year. Whaddya think of my aesthetic-y art photography? I'd say it's pretty Instagram-ready if I do say so myself. I made this piece for my wall and it’s still behind me, watching me as I type this in all its fuzzy glory!
Original description and remake comparison under the cut! :D
"In memories the Pines still play on a sunny summer's day." A happy belated birthday to my favorite kiddos!!! I cannot believe that they are 21 now, holy As spoken by the almighty @flynns-hellhole, "Dipper is now old enough to go into a bar and order some milk" I did have most of this done yesterday but I was exhausted so I ended up going to bed before it was finished. Polished it up today and we're good to go! Technically this is a remake of something I did around 2018. It's crazy how much I've improved since then! Fun fact, the wooden keychain on the top left was made by me! My dad rented some time with his local creative building's laser cutter and I got hooked up with some awesome stuff. Hope you guys had an awesome summer! Stay safe and stay weird. <3
~ Original description from last year
Got some stuff done today! This is Bella and she is the skrunkliest creature to ever exist. Top image is the simple ref I just made her and the bottom image is my original drawing of her
I really needed a simple fun-to-doodle Certified Shape and also I love the demons in Binding of Isaac so two birds one stone
