Feature 207--kei4dan

 

Yoshi Autumn

These three Yoshis were drawn and painted so well! I bet the one with the hot chocolate is fully comfy in this mildly chilly scene, the other two seem to be enjoying how the leaves are falling. Perfect scene!
I also enjoy how the clouds in the sky seem to be painted to help keep the eyes to the characters. It's a lovely little addition, in my opinion. This image is so cute, don't you think?

Summertime

So we've seen Peach in something aside from that large pink dress and this is just the next step, I figure. Especially depending on how high the temperature at this beach is. The scene kinda reminds me of Mario Sunshine in some way, makes it quite fun!
And how do you like these clouds? I wonder how they were made to look so nice. In all, a fun image to get to see!

Vivian

I remember this character! She's so fun to have in the Paper Mario party and quite powerful to have on your team.
It's fun how he drew in her eye here. The actual game never shows her eyes or makes her face seem so nice, so this is a lovely experiment! Of course I love the colors in the background, it just seems right for Vivian's more natural home. It all works great!

kei4dan's art is very cute, in my opinion! Here is the link to his gallery if you'd enjoy seeing more!

Mom's desktop has certainly worked out!

Mom has asked for irises and roses so I'm still trying to plan that out, but hasn't this dogwood tree worked out! *squee* The tree and the daffodils worked together excellent!

Desktop has been declared complete by my mother (was painted for her so I suppose she gets to tell me this. XD) Totally thrilled with this!

Sky for Mom's new desktop

This sky was so fun to get to happen (And it was so fast too!). Gosh I've gotta keep a version for personal reasons. XD And I'm 100% whining that this sky has to be covered by the backyard painting that I was asked for, too. The agony!

 

Here is the reference I used as well, with the photographer's name on it. Thanks to Gary Yeowell for posting such a lovely image!

Commission finished! Viola Tricolors in Field

 

Finally got finished with this! It was so much fun to work with the commissioner to get the colors chosen and to get things to work out. Would definitely work with him again! <3

Feature 164--Estheryu

 

Day of the Deviant

My jaw just dropped when I saw this piece. It's gorgeous!
There was a contest going when Estheryu created this; I so hope that she won something from it! Just look at that halo of stars around her head, along with those beautiful clouds behaving like sheets and blankets just over her form. Or perhaps it's to show that it is more hidden in the heights of her mind? Look how she's reaching up toward those planets, too.
Love it!

Doodle: Sunflower Skull

These skulls look very interesting set against the sunflower here. Maybe a comparison of life and death? Or perhaps it's just what just happened to come together as she worked on this?
It's also very interesting how the gal has those blue gems...maybe she's Life and is bringing the sunflower out to show that even death may not be the full end?
This is an amazing piece and it was so fun to see!

Fight Fish

This piece is amazing! How many fish can you count in it? And doesn't all of the lines here seem to act like fish themselves; floating free in the air?
Estheryu definitely seems to know how to paint the fish perfectly in this watercolor. I wonder how long it took her to add the color to this? She mentioned that the linework was a sketch that was done in 2016, too.
Was excellent to get to see this!

It was a real treat to get to see these pieces! To see more of Estheryu's amazing work, here is her deviantart! Drop by and spend some time here; it'll be well worth it!
