Finished art, painted with heated wax and other multi-media.

Doomchar Aquarium 3

Here’s the last in the series I began as part of my gaming guild’s art contest. The winners have been declared, and I tied for third place. First place went to someone who created a fabulous, fully functional siege ballista (not to scale, lol). My piece was Elder Scroll-adjacent, at best, and I feel the judging was completely fair. And I really enjoyed creating the Aquariums.

Bubbly water tap pull

On the left is the encaustic I made as a tap pull for the carbonated water line. On the right is the piece coated in epoxy and mounted on the spigot. It was a great first experiment, but I’m already working on an improved version.

Doomchar Aquarium 1

One of my guilds is running a contest for an ESO-inspired piece of art. This is my first attempt, something that allowed me to practice perspective. Doomchar is a house you can own in-game. I used a greenhouse as my tableau, posed a screenshot picture, and went from there. I figured, let’s do more undersea fish art! It’s as good a reason as any to be inspired.

Among the Seaweed

The title came last.

This is a repurposed piece that had, once again, faded. Just spitballing, I added dried flowers and leaves to it, but nothing was working. It made me think of undersea life, though, and I went from there. It’s not my greatest fish piece (out of 2 so far, lol), but it was an important step and inspiration.

Undersea

I’ve begun a new thematic interest, the undersea life. For me, this is a large piece, 10″ x 15″. I’ve made a new category and I hope to add more pieces as time goes by.
