Here's one I just finished last night that I'm very happy with... and it's trans related so I thought you might be interested in seeing it.

I really like the colours that you have used.
I also like the purpleish background in the second picture

What did you use for the colours?

Sly · March 13, 2011, 01:25:45 PM

Haha thanks! Those two are digital. I drew them in Paint Tool SAI, and did the backgrounds in Photoshop.

I did a bunch of pictures in that style last year, too. http://sketchbooksly.blogspot.com/2010/12/possessed-by-christmas-spirit.html

I went out for coffee earlier today... it was sunny when I left, but started storming while I was there. I wasn't at all dressed for rain so I had to just wait it out. Drew people while I was waiting!

Very nice. Good eye for general aesthetics. I especially like how you play with such vibrant colors.
I'm going to have to follow your work if ya don't mind.

Ok

ah paint tool sai one of the reasons why I regret of switching my pc to a mac.

Heh thanks Kamren.

So I have a few muses that I like to draw. One that keeps appearing in my sketchbooks is these mask wearing, extremely elongated people... although this one seems to be a headless spirit of some kind that just has a floating mask. Whatever. I love exaggerating anatomy in weird ways like this.

woah i love this one! the colors, the... heh, i'm not a graphic artists... but i like how the trees are drawn, and the texture of the bushes, and the placement of the spirit and the mask especially! the headless spirit thing is cool- it resonates somehow with me

Here's another one done in acrylics.

I also made a blog post with some progress pictures and explaining how I paint...

I love this new one a lot! The texture in the acrylics really adds to your stylization. Nice work

Espenoah · March 23, 2011, 03:52:26 AM

Wow, I really love your style! It's very unique and really interesting to look at.
And I love your blog post on how you paint with acrylics. I've been itching to paint lately, and your art just makes me wanna scratch it more. If only I had a canvas...

One thing I've learned about paint is that it doesn't easily come out of clothes. So I thought, why not paint a shirt?

I want to wear it at Pride... which is still a ways off. But I'm excited to be going for the first time this year.
