Quote with your purple art 👾

Post an old illustration you still like.

Around 4 years old, which was about the time I actually started to take art seriously. I still like this one a lot and want to give it a digital update at some point.

#artsubscription #ocsky

Digital mockup of a physical art bundle consisting of a male OC called Isaiah, who is a fallen angel. It has two art prints, two sticker sheets, a vinyl sticker and two holographic bookmarks. The main artwork is of him falling from the sky while his detached wings are slowly dematerializing in the air above.

Quote with your pinup art

Ben @ballsysmith.bsky.social · Feb 26

Meanwhile I’ve been trying to figure out how to approximate it without copying it for a couple of years now. I’ve been getting better at realism but your art always makes me want to steer towards something more stylised, while keeping elements of realistic anatomy and lighting.
