Feature 215--AuntieRichie

 

To Birth a God

I've never played this Silent Hill but to be tracked down by some insane cult woman trying to make the player (Heather) birth the god the woman's trying to bring to life...Poor Heather! That design on the wall is interesting. Are the barbed wires trying to keep it held in place or is that woman who's chasing Heather going to be trapped by it, maybe?
The characters that AuntieRichie created for this piece look perfect for such a situation, too. Very interesting work!

 

 

The Love Witch

 Fanart of 'The Love Witch'; this woman is Elaine Parks.
As the Love Witch herself, she looks like she's in the middle of casting or creating some spell or potion for someone. If this movie is as campy and silly as AuntieRichie says, it has to be amazing. The cornier is always the better in my opinion.

Lovely piece!

CyberwitcH

An interesting witch here, not having to use her body by any means. And that AuntieRichie isn't sure yet (with this image) how and what she actually behaves yet just makes me more curious. A creature that doesn't have to use her own arms but uses those robotic arms instead; can you imagine coming across her, for worse or better?

The pieces AuntieRichie chose to share for this feature are so interesting! Click here to see more of their work.

Feature 195--Cuestionador

 

Lurking in the Dark

First off, so very much respect for any kind of art like this. Black and White with no shade of grey is so hard to control! Super work with it, Cuestionador!
The monster in the front seems to be daring one to take even one more step forward, with that creature in the back currently busy with what it's working on. Or perhaps the one in front isn't a monster, just someone who had been forced to see so many people ignore them, finally getting the label?

Batman Collage Sketch

In Cuestionador's artist comments, he mentions that this is a homage to "Detective Comics 31 by Sheldon Moldoff". Hasn't he touched on everything just right?
The Mad Monk in the foreground, making tracks away from Batman with his captive. It's not a doubt that he (Batman) is going to spin the Mad Monk in all kinds of circles to get the captive free. In the piece, I can see mountains in front of Batman and the cities in front? Really enjoying looking at this!

Time is Running Out

What looks like an atomic bomb has gone off in the background. How many people alive are as robots while all of this lines up, step by step?
Can we just take a moment to look at that smoke from the bomb? On my first glance, I likened the colors to what we'd see on a weather map, red being the most in danger and the other shades just building up into it! Let's take a look at all the watches too. So many clocks but never enough time...

These pieces are so very cool to get to see. If you'd like to see more of Cuestionador's artwork and collages, his gallery is right here!

Feature 168--lifethroughjournals

 

Art Journal Page, May 2021

Praying to a god that she isn't even sure is there. Don't we all have that feeling at times?
I love that background, it's so gorgeous. The woman is just reaching up to an empty sky that's going darker and darker...her heart must be so broken right now. Having such difficulty going through life at the moment.
LifeThroughJournals did such a lovely job with that dress! The color against that deep red, going up into blackness, really does help show the life struggling to continue. And can we just take a moment and squeal about how well she did the hair? Excellent work!

Art Journal Page, May 2017

A witch under the full moon with two of her very well done familiars. We can see the moon's power gathering around her hand as she prepares some quiet spell. I hope it's quiet anyway. She certainly looks powerful enough to cause an issue if the need came!
Love how this piece makes me keep thinking. First, I saw a lake behind her with lighting from homes on the other shore. But no...is it perhaps her magic creating both of those familiars' bodies? It makes great sense why we'd see the moon so clearly inside since she's possibly using that power. This one is so fun to get to view! So many stories can be made from it.

PUPA Challenge 3, March 2021

What I can learn about 'PUPA Challenge' on a gallery is that they take a photo and try to paint from it, creating their own piece. Like an insect going into a pupa between the immature and mature stages--pointing toward how someone can grow into a full artist while in this stage.
Personally, I love how lifethroughjournals has created this from the photo she used as a reference. This is gorgeous--like the heart is becoming life (look at the plus signs at the lower left!) and is perhaps becoming like a tree, where the life continues to grow?
Gorgeous work, it's so inspiring!

Feature 102--ARTificialphanTOM

Pine Cone

This is an amazing piece, isn't it! It's drawn with a 4B pencil and colored in iPiccy; didn't he do such a great job in drawing a proper mallard? The detail to draw the beak and make those feathers look so realistic had to have taken a ton of time! But can we just talk about how the water looks? It's drawn perfectly for calm waters and I really enjoy how we can somewhat see the duck's reflection. The picture is a beautiful way to honor the animal. Super work!

Triste

I wish that I could draw faces like this. Just another reason that I'm in awe of his work, I think... This picture is of Jazz Artist, Alba Armengou. Can't say that I know much about her but the respect that ARTificialphanTOM gave this image tells me how much he likes her music. He drew this with a 5B pencil and colored his linework with iPiccy; can you imagine how much time that would have had to  take? Be sure to take a moment to respect how well that hair came out!

Global Warming

Completely drawn on iPiccy, this picture is a call toward what the penguins should need to do if global warming finally brings Antartica to the rocky desert underneath all that snow. It's an interesting thought and could easily be the fate of the penguins and other black and white animals in that location.

If you'd like to see even more of ARTificialphanTOM's work, here is the link to his gallery! I'd definitely say that it's worth the time to go there and enjoy the work he's chosen to share.

Feature 90--GeofferyCCarter

Chasing the Dawn

First off, this is the cover of a recently finished book. Can't wait for the story to be brought public, honestly. These three characters look pretty interesting and I'd like to learn what everyone is like.
The planet on the left is drawn super well, in my opinion. And he actually remembered the way the atmosphere would look around said planet! And the way he drew the space ships make them look very sleek. LOVE this work!

Firesword doing what he does best

 

I can't help but love seeing the characters come off the page and act in my mind...this is a super example of that! Isn't it clever how Geoffery drew it over that piece of the story?
The shading done here was done super well. I love how strong that shield looks and how dangerous the ground Firesword is walking on appears. But can we just turn our focus to that weapon in his hand? I would hate to have it coming toward me in a battle! And it wouldn't surprise me if it could do more than crush a creature's center!

Light and Truth, Fire and Steel

Other than this image having such an exciting set up, he has shared a bit of a chapter in the book that was mentioned before. You'll do yourself a great service if you read up!
About the picture: I love how busy everything seems as if they're rushing toward the next battle in front of them. And let's focus on not only the tank on the right, but that dragon-armored soldier leading the charge! It's so busy and I love it! Excellent work.

After seeing these three, you want to see what other amazing pieces GeofferyCCarter creates, right? Here is the link to his gallery. Hope that you stick around there for a while!
