I think I made this because I was inspired by some game's design of medusa, and I took some reference of it. Can't remember what.
When I was painting the background Granite stepped into the paint and walked all over the painting. I freaked out, but was able to salvage and save it (surprisingly, since it was on top of watercolours)

Sketched/inked throughout winter break, painted during jan 4 paint night.
I had first thought up a piece like this years ago, and it was meant to be an illustration of what I imagine when I listen to Wriggle by Cosmo Sheldrake. I found it over the winter break and got inspired to make this. Didn't take a picture of the old concept, but the bird and the masquerade mask were both parts of it. And me using the red/yellow colour palette was me staying true to the og concept.
Took a scan of the lineart before colouring in the mask. Had to do it twice because the painting was too big for the scanner π₯². Still need to splice together the two imgs to get the full piece as one scan.
The gold bits were painted on sometime sem2 year1 of uni (and after the end date listed above) but it was so little that I'm fine w the fake finish date.
I was planning on colouring the entire piece, but the mask in it of itself was annoying enough, and I thought it looked good w just that part coloured. I've asked around if people think it looks finished with how it is now, and most people say no π. I've gotten different suggestions for what to do to make it look more complete, but I don't really fw any of them (but I also think it looks does as is, so I'm not inclined to modify it at all in the first place).
The suggestions:
Colour the candelabra in blues to compliment the mask
Add shading to the rest of the obj

Well lookie here, look at how much I lied. hoping to get the spring plants done? What an absolute buffoon I am. There is one success story here, though - Rosewood and Iris, surprisingly. Everything else are failures.

Painting of a cockatiel β€οΈ
I remember struggling to use the neon acrylic paints because they're really translucent and only show up well on a white base.

Another painting I did that utilizes the peeling canvas trick.
I wasn't too happy with this when I finished, but I really like it now. It's just a fun little piece.

Stopped taking pictures of random sketches and would instead cut the doodles out and glue them into my sketchbook cos this was a lot of work.
