Never logged my outfits lmfao

Reference sheet of a female character. Top left are head shots of a realistically rendered young woman with dark hair tied in two braids, wearing a white nurse cap and red hair veil. She has the symbol of a sun on her cap and as a brooch on her collar. She wears a grey pinafore Bottom left: same character but in a more caricatured style showing a front view, 3/4 view and profile view. Right is a full body render of her caricatured form. She shows more of her grey pinafore, over a red skirt and white blouse. She has red arm cuffs. She holds a golden polearm hammer and prayer beads.

2025 - 2026 MANTRA:

I did have a conversation on another thread here about how as a pain

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Beautiful! I love the square color pallet of the primary colors and green.

You really are good at translating the reflection of a rain slick surface through the oil medium. Incredible

I wonder if Zohran saw any of this

Oil painting of a barn owl standing on drift wood Dark blue and black background

Oil painting of a vulture standing over bones (spine and horned animal skull) Dark brown background His expression is very pleasant and almost sheepish, as if he had been caught in the kitchen with a midnight snack. He is incredibly handsome

Oil painting of a horned owl on top of some red and green leaves Black background

Some oil paintings I’ve made of birds of prey.
Each took between one and two hours
I referenced taxidermy specimens live from my university’s science education center
Vulture is my fav

Gorgeous!

That’s useful for digital art but in traditional painting, those specifics don’t matter too much.
Sometimes paint from your pallets knife will accidentally mix with other paint. Different brands use different pigment formulas. Pigment quality varies. It can also vary depending on the oil used.

If we wanna be more specific we use roughly estimated percentages. 50% Blue-green. Blue-green that leans 25% more blue.

Well I’m an art major and in my painting classes, our professor encourages us to use limited vocabulary for our colors. So the term “aquamarine” is not used. “Teal” is fine, but we are encouraged to use phrases like blue-green. Or blue-green that leans more green vice versa. More productive imo

Yeah that’s what I was saying
Did my comment imply that I disagreed? If so i apologize

I conceded to teal originally
More proof that Bug is always right and has never been wrong ever/j

Hey I’m keeping it light hearted

Okay now it’s comrade’s turn

Fucking wild how you busted this out within minutes of this discourse

I’ll be generous and say it’s teal, but that beanie is not green

Congratulations! You have color blindness! 🎉

Edit: not exactly starting college, starting a new semester lmao

Starting college tomorrow! Very excited. I really need to finish a paper by tomorrow though, so I gotta get on that grind.

Hoping to use this place to log my outfits, meals, and artwork :)

K bye

Digital painting of an apple Blue, purple, and beige background

Apple study procreate

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

Dangit I forgot to post this yesterday! Happy belated #idesofmarch !
