I'm really proud of this piece, because it only comes together into a coherent scene like this from a distance - up close it's really hard to make sense of and involved a lot of abstract-seeming shapes and colors. But it all works together!!!
I said I was gonna do it… and I did.
Once more for those in the back.
Like this:
The adoration! The devotion! The light in their eyes! I literally can't even handle it 😭!!!!
I love how different One Piece Live Action is to the anime because you can actually see in their eyes when everyone falls in love with Luffy. Like absolutely deeply madly in love with him.
Progress photos of my Nøkken painting back in May.
And here's the finished product. (Although I might always add touch ups because my work is never finished).
made some self-indulgent mock-up book covers with my gothic lit art 🖤
This is one of my favorite paintings I've done.
These are Huldra or Hulderfolk from Scandinavian folklore. Hulderfolk are seductive forest spirits and their name translates loosely to "hidden" or "secret". They're said to look like normal women with the only difference being the hole in their back that resembles a hollowed tree and the long cow-like tail which they hide under their skirts. If you encounter a Huldra and treat her with respect, she will be very helpful (sharing the best fishing spots or tending to your charcoal kiln), but mistreat her and the punishment will be severe (being beaten to death with her tail or taken into the mountains never to be seen again).
Really funny to watch dude bros struggle to explain how Agatha All Along is bad without being overtly homophobic, sexist, or racist.
In May I worked on touching up my acrylic paintings. Here's my first attempt at the Nøkken sitting in a still body of water playing his fiddle.
AHHHH!!! This is so good!!!
She’s French in the same kinda way Miss Piggy is French 😅
