Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

#tokentober day 13: 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn

I shall name him Spawny and he shall be mine and he shall be my Spawny.

Apologies for the smudge. Working too quickly and I’m not redoing it. Ok, not sorry. Too bad. Here it is.

What a loss.
A great popular artist with a keen eye for composition who showed that tracing is a perfectly legitimate tool to help create beautiful works.

RIP to Drew Struzen, the greatest to ever do it. 🙌

Looking up the “hierarchy of genres”, aka the academic ranking of what art is best.
A Dutch painter called people who made landscapes the “common footmen in the army of art” and I think that’s hilarious.

Rank:
History painting
Portrait painting
Genre painting
Landscapes
Animal painting
Still life

If you’re a billionaire you can just get movies made whenever you want, right?

Imagine being able to just throw a chunk of change around and be able to see your dream movie.

I’d want to see the Coen bros to do Moby Dick with Nicholas Cage as Ahab.
Maybe get Oscar Isaac as Ishmael

#tokentober day 14: Thopter

Another one of my early tokens back in 2020 probably. I got inspiration from the original Clash of Titans, but wanted to give it some sort of steampunk twist.

Hello #PortfolioDay
I'm Neil - a Scottish artist who loves stories about people and places written on things and faces.

I’m building an illustration portfolio so hmu if you are looking to collab. I want to bring worlds to life!

I am also a Rebelle Featured Artist!

A wandering adventurer, grasping a chipped knife, and their giant corgi wade through a lush, warm swamp. Behind them, a giant snake uncurls and stalks them. Will they survive?

An oil painting on linen. A man leans back looking off right. His eyes and forehead are cast in light. His young child leans, half asleep, against him.

A digital portrait of a woman with a mass of curled hair is spotlit by a harsh light from above. Tight brushes around the face, give way to loose and abstract brushstrokes around the perimeter of the subject.

A portrait of a man interrupted while playing guitar in a living room. He looks at the viewer. Day light from behind diffuses into the room while a lamp lights the figure from the left.

This is your monthly reminder: if you like a piece of writing, a piece if art, etc-- TELL THE PERSON WHO MADE IT!!! Leave a comment, tell them with *words* that you like it.
Seriously, it goes *such* a long way.

Day two of soaking the oak galls to make iron gall ink, it’s already turning noticeably darker. I can’t wait to see where we’re at in a couple weeks 🤘

Scott Kersey, art fella @scottkersey.bsky.social · 1d

Getting some ideas down for future draw-along streams. Some ideas I have so far:

-portraiture via Raphael
-hands via Michelangelo
-underpainting via El Greco
-composition via Doré
-shadow shapes via Greco-Roman sculpture

Any of these sound interesting? :)
I may move the stream earlier too.
