Square landscape with blue skies, puffy clouds, mountains in BG, abstract shrubs (conifers?) and rolling hills in mid-ground, mostly obscured by the mahousive mausoleum and gravestone in foreground nested on flowery grass with a partial tree on the right. The mausoleum has a dodo, a baiji dolphin, a splendid poison frog, and Tasmanian tiger embossed along respective name tags. Top of the square display reads “In Memoriam”. The gravestone has a Dutch Alcon Blue butterfly along with “R.I.P.” and “Dutch Alcon Blue” chiselled on it. A few sun rays shining onto the scenery. Title reads “Extinction Risks”

“Hello there!”

I need to profusely apologise: The name of the brush is “Sun Bear” ☀️ 🐻

Anyhoo, finished after a total of 3 sittings and 10h 3m! Mikko churns these out in 2 hours 😅

Winter #landscapepainting is slowly coming together me thinks. Am trying out “Snowbear” from @angrymikko.bsky.social oil brush set. Not sure about the snow on trees yet; it looks blurred. Though might actually be a good thing? What do you think?

My name is Gabu. I am a freelance artist from Florida who one day dreams of working with the big wigs and fat cats. This is just a taste of what I can do.

An "Amazing World Of Gumball"-styled picture of a yoshi and a cat-villager outside a 7-11 discusing about seeing a movie and hoping big bad Bowser isn't there. Art of Mario angrily facing off against Bowser inside a castle over boiling lava. A Canadian Chimera, comptising of beaver, bear, moose, and goose. Inspired by someone's LEGO MOC. Art of someone's half-dragon-half-android OC against a cyberpunk-esque background.

More progress on my “It’s beginning to look aTRON like Christmas” painting. Added circuitry to his suit (over-thinker me struggled with this). Helmet and face to finish, then colour edits.

Watched the very last episode of #TronUprising, which ended on a cliffhanger. Annoyingly it wasn’t renewed for a 2nd season. The visual design is fantastic and Boxleitner’s voice still gives me chills. I am glad he had plenty of story unlike in Legacy (3 lines!!!) and Ares (not even a mention!!🖕🏼).

When there is a fire drill in your apartment (yesterday morning), you’re having to run down 25 flights of wonky/ unevenly built stairs, and the next day (today) you’re legs are on FIRE!!! 🔥 Like, not just sore muscles but sitting down/ getting up is fracking torture.

So, a family member asked me if I could do this effect with a photo of her. My response: “Sure, if you have a high res portrait image and 30 Euros spare.” Well, guess what their answer was: “I have a portrait photo but not 30 Euros”
Why does everyone think I am doing this shit for free??? 😂😂😂🖕🏼

Tried to recreate a glass distortion effect I saw in a Photoshop short tutorial but in #AffinityStudio. It’s not quite the same but I kinda like.

Front portrait of a woman (I assume) with their hair styled back . Image is black and white but with half of the person in turquoise hue alternating between right and left hand sides. Face RHS, lips/neck/ torso LHS in turquoise. I created a gradient black and white pattern/ texture distorted with liquify filter. And set various blend modes along with displacement filters. Text reads “Ripple Effects”

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Nobody. They’re too busy with politics, drama, and pushing their egos far up their arses 🙄

#TRON 1982 seemingly foreshadowing the future (now present). This is pretty much happening now with copilot and chatgpt. 😕
Image from the movie TRON with the text reading “Computers and programs will start thinking, and the people will stop.”

Square abstract image with grain/ noise texture overlay: - text reads “TURBULENT” - behind text a red rounded rectangle in portrait aspect. Behind it outlines of the same rectangle stacked behind to make it look 3D. The outlines are also visible inside the red tectangle making it look like a tunnel. - behind the rectangle are meshed wire abstract objects and two sphere objects (bottom-left and upper-right corners) connect with a line. All in bright turquoise and off white hues and values. - background is a warm blue gradient and a dark blue frame. - Tansterdesgnz logo in bottom right corner.

Lately I find myself playing with the new #affinitystudio app, and this is some #lettering #graphicdesign I came up with. Hope CRT will be added to glitch gallery.

#retrodesign ##CRTgtaphics #glitchdesign #retroart #1980sdesign #designsky
Retro Logo or Ad Design in landscape orientation. - Text reads “CRT In Motion” - Colours are Neon Magentas, Oranges, Yellos, And some purple and blue mixed in as gradients in the In Motion putlines. - CRT letters a in perspective and chunky to make them look 3D and as if lying flat but levitating from the dark surface. Floating underneath are the letter outlines stacked on top of each other. - Effects applied are offset RGB aberrations, gaussian blurs, different blend modes like Add, an HSL filter where I shifted the hues a little, and a CRT image I found on Pinterest was used and set to overlay with a slight blue applied and opacity reduced to 50 percent. - I then merged all visible components to a duplicated single-layer image, set it to screen blend mode, added another gaussian blurs and reduced opacity. This increased to glow effect and vibrancy of neon colours.

I also spent the afternoon with #graphicdesign #surrealism style. Getting familiar with the new version (v3) of #affinitystudio which is free (for now).

Finally found some time and motivation to continue on my #TRON #conceptart piece. The Christmas 🎄 polygon is in an assembly state. Challenge is actually painting Tron’s beautiful face and his neon circuitry.

RIP Rebecca Heineman. I learned of her journey through an interesting documentary about the history of computer games and game development. I forgot the title of the series, which was on Netflix I think.
