UGH I am so impatient to share more of the projects I’ve been working on but two are ~secret~ for awhile longer and the other is a weaving on a rigid heddle loom so the progress gets rolled up on the bar and you CAN’T see the progress all at once.
80 picks into the first color and now on to the second!
I’m in the 6th color now! Look at the color shift between five and six!!!
Been feeling like a Depression Goblin for the last two days. I will be done with it tonight. Exorcising the Goblin with this magenta-ass underpainting for my artfag vampire art.
In-progress color/composition study for my piece in the @tdvzine
bonus points if you can identify the art historical reference/inspiration
HELL yeah
continuing this to my own post so it will not spam the op
recap: I tried to find every artist here that I could and @ everyone just in case someone doesn't know yet :D
however... posts limit the number of links so I needed to split this up

I was posting art online back in the days of Elfwood, before Deviantart, so I’ve been around to watch the internet social rules of interacting with art posts shift over time.
Lemme tell you: Reblogs make me happy, but comments fill me with JOY. Whether it’s on the reblog or in the tags, even if it’s as simple as “I like this,” that means so much to me.
I can imagine there are a lot of artists in a position similar to mine: Working a full-time non-art job, with little time or opportunity to interact with IRL art communities. I was in art school for many many years, and I didn’t realize how important it was to receive feedback on my art until I wasn’t getting it anymore.
One of the things I’m trying to do, over on my bsky and my sideblog, is to leave a comment of some kind when I reblog another artist’s work. I know it means a lot to me, so I want to give that to artists whose work I enjoy.
To everyone who leaves comments on my art, even goofy stuff in their tags: I do see it, I do read it, and thank you so much!
To people who leave comments in the tags that say stuff like “this is so weird” or “why did they make the characters so ugly”: Please go look at more art and develop a broader palette. Maybe watch Simon Schama’s “The Power of Art” miniseries, as a fun way to learn some art history and theory.

My INSANE gory elementary school science fair display set-up that I have created for these paintings…
in doing Hourly Comic Day, I am reminded of why I don’t do Hourly Comic Day
Reblogging my own work because nothing will stop me from being trans and making trans art.

The lyrics in the background are from Lingua Ignota's "MAN IS LIKE A SPRING FLOWER."
Screenshot study of Lestat from IWTV, done with Posca and Molotow paint pens.
The lyrics in the background are from "The Ballad of Mack the Knife," in the musical "The Threepenny Opera" by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.
Screenshot study of Daniel Molloy (and Armand) from IWTV. Done with Molotow and Posca paint pens.
The lyrics are from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but I had Patti Smith's cover in mind when I made this piece.
Lestat, Louis, and Armand, all as variations of Pierrot. Done with Molotow and Posca paint pens, and color pencil.
Lestat's costume is mostly based on the painting of Pierrot by Jean-Antoine Watteu in 1718. Louis' Pierrot is based on the costume worn by Jean-Charles Deburau, as photographed by Nadar in the 1850s. Despite being the oldest vampire, Armand's costume is the most contemporary, as it's based on the 1975 film "The Adventures of Buratino." This is because Armand is a Theater Nerd (Lestat is a Theater Gay, there is a difference) and he thinks that outfit is the most inventive.

The text in this image comes the from the traditional ballad "O Love is Teasing."
My favorite version of it is this one, by Rhiannon Giddens
Screenshot study of Claudia from IWTV, done with Posca and Molotow paint pens
playing around with a more stylized approach
The text in this image is from the song "Pirate Jenny" by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, from the musical "The Threepenny Opera."
My favorite version is this one, by Shilpa Ray, Nick Cave, and Warren Ellis.
(This song is on the Claudia playlist that I have created. I might have created playlists for all the main characters in IWTV.)
I haven’t posted WIP pics in awhile because it drives me crazy when those get more interest than the finished pieces but I need to show off all my cool sketches.

I’ve become fixated on Interview With the Vampire to the point that I’m doing painting studies in my sketchbook. I will post those once I have the time to scan them. In the meantime…

I thought I’d made a mistake by doing this eye-searing magenta for the ground, but I’m liking it.

This piece came about as an attempt to visually depict how I experience music. Possibly due to my Autism, I do not seem to listen to/experience music the way other people I have discussed this topic with experience music. I recognize that there is an underlying meter, a rhythm, a beat, that allows a person to "follow the music;" the beat is also what people follow when they dance. I can force myself to identify and follow a beat, but it requires significant concentration on my part, is not what comes naturally to me, and is not how I enjoy listening to music. My attention often skips back and forth between different sounds, following the bass sounds for several moments because I enjoy that specific section, then switching focus to the crescendo of a violin, to the sound of the singer's voice, the drums, back to violin, bass, voice, a new sound.
By connecting colors, patterns, and material to specific aspects of a musical piece, I have attempted to create a depiction of my experience of the music.
(I also decided to leave the edges of the different photos I took, to give an impression of the number of images needed to create a decent representation of this weaving.)
Any artists who have their own domain name and sell art thru their website have recommendations of hosts and payment services that are okay with adult content?
I haven’t done much explicit artwork in a long time, in part because the freely accessible websites to share and sell such artwork continue to dwindle. If I’m gonna go to the trouble of setting up and maintaining my own website/shop, I want to be able to sell ALL the kinds of things I make.
Subscription service platforms aren’t suitable for me, because the timeframe in which I make and complete different kinds of art fluctuates so much.
Hello dear.. Please don't skip my message My name is Mohammed, from the afflicted and destroyed Gaza Strip, where life has become impossible and tragic, and where we see death and pain every moment and every day. Our children suffer from hunger, pain, deprivation and lack of medicine. The war deprived them of playing, school, and their most basic rights. They are now suffering from woes and tragedies. 😭😭 During the war, my wife gave birth to a child and I could not find any milk for him Our conditions are tragic, and we live in a shelter that lacks the minimum requirements for life and is plagued by diseases and epidemics Please help me save my children from the hell of the Gaza Strip and provide them with a decent life 😔 Your assistance, no matter how simple, is enough to ease the burden on us and help us overcome our crisis. Please sympathize with me and donate to me or contribute to sharing the campaign and spreading it widely
please give if you can and share
considering Etsy’s recent policy changes regarding allowing the sale of AI-generated works and the ban on selling sex toys, I will probably deactivate my Etsy store in the next month or two.
Eventually, I will look for another platform on which to sell my art, but there might be something of a hiatus inbetween. So if you want any of my stuff in the near future, you should probably go order it now
I’ve decided this will actually be my test weave... gonna start the whole thing over because I have brainworms.
All this work and I’ve concluded I’m gonna have to cut it up to harvest some of the yarn for the next one! The custom multicolor yarns that I made. The issue is those plain weave sections are uhhhh almost 4 ft long. If I reduce the number of picks, I can reduce the length of the plain weave section by half and have a lot more room for cool stuff.
Doing insane shit with string today
