Title: Small art dump (last pieces from 2020)
Post by: Griffin on January 01, 2021, 01:49:25 PM

I still have some art pieces I haven't shared yet! I updated my DA gallery and thought I'd post some of them here as well.

First up, some pony ATCs! Sorry, I should've posted these in the Halloween thread but never got round to it...

Night of the Living Dead - I went to a small pony meet in August and made this card for an ATC swap, our chosen theme was zombies, apocalypse, afterlife/resurrection etc. :lol: (Sakura Pigma Micron pens, watercolour, white gesso)

These cards were made for the runners-up in the Halloween Coloring Contest :) (Ink & watercolour)

Here are two pieces I made for a private swap with Rosierjay, they were both made in the memory of her dog :sad:

Your work is wonderful :) I'm impressed by the dog art. Do you do pets like that a lot? How are you with cats?

Thanks, BC! :heart: Your comment warms my heart as I don't actually feel very confident when it comes to dogs, especially pet portraits! Animals are my favourite subject to draw and paint, and I'm happy to try out even animals I've never drawn before, with good reference pics! But pet portraits are challenging because it's not enough to make it look like a dog (or whatever animal) or even the breed, you need to be able to capture the essence of the individual animal... I think I did a bit better with the ATC in that regard, but Rosier would be the best judge of course. :) I've done a few dog portraits before, though, so it wasn't my first time. I don't think I've ever attempted a serious cat portrait? Except for some sketches of my own cats (see below). Generic cats are fine, though. :lol:

Spoiler

This one is super old, from 2013, and the colours are terribly washed out... I clearly should draw cats more often since it was really difficult to find any examples!

Those are all so nicely done.   ^.^  I'm impressed with how well you do the composition of all your cards.
