Undersea

Underwater Sky

Here’s the WiP video I made two months ago.

I like much about this piece, especially the color, but I also am dissatisfied. I firmly believe, though, that creative work needs to finish and display. I’ve spent enough time tweaking; time to be done and move on.

Lagoon

I’d like to share a small milestone. At a local Christmas fair, two of my pieces sold. My first sale of any of my artwork! See them here and here.

One of the purchasers mentioned using the piece as a Christmas ornament, which blasted open my mind with possibilities for next year.

Seahorse Tidepool

If you’re interested in the size of this piece, it gets a mention in a YouTube demonstration I made.

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.

Doomchar Aquarium 2

This is the version I entered into my gaming guild’s contest. I can’t say it’s my favorite of the series, but the original screenshot was the clearest and most representative of ESO. We can sort of see the Medusa-like monster outside the glass, which is what I wanted.

Pirate Cove

Lava Aquatic

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.

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.
