I've been on a floral kick lately. These are some of my florals in oils.

Those are really good. I've done a few portraits. They are difficult to draw. I really like the details and highlights in her hair.

Thank you.

I've drawn more detailed and realistic pieces, but this little mouse drawing I did in charcoal a few years ago is still my favorite.

That has to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen

I taught myself to draw several years ago and did a TON of sketches from 2018-2021 or so. I always loved this little fox.

For somebody who taught themselves to draw relatively recently, that's insanely good. If you didn't mention it I think people would have just assumed you've been doing it for much, much longer. I know I would have at least.

You're all so skilled that it makes me feel dirty for posting images that I've been stealing appropriating off the internet for the past 10 years

Artist's conception of a future base on Saturn's moon Enceladus. I believe the artist is William Bricker.

There's just something about space winter or frigidity in space that's cool (pun not intended).

This one is an Artist's conception of a space worm coming to say hello because he thought it was a bit nippy underground. I'm yet to confirm it with the artist but I'm 99% sure that was his vision.

(or maybe it's just concept art from a game I spent a shameful amount of hours playing)

I'm guessing from the art you are sharing you like fantasy, knights, and ancient warriors , haha

I've loved history ever since my Dad made an awesome, totally right on every level parenting decision and let an 11 year old watch the movie 300. Ever since then I became absolutely obsessed with Ancient Greece & Antiquity. Which inevitably lead into Rome, which lead into the Norse, which lead into the Anglo-Saxons, which lead into the Normans .
It's actually been a pretty big help when learning about Church History and The Bible so I see it as providential and am grateful for it. Things like Alexander the Great's destruction of Tyre fulfilling the prophecy spoken against it in Nebuchadnezzar's era hits a bit different when you know how prosperous the Phoenicians were. And when in Daniel 10:20 they talk about the prince of Greece (the ruling malevolent spiritual power) coming, it representing and prophesying Alexander's invasion of Persia. I hope when I enter ministry I'll be able to put this blessing to effective use for The Lord somehow.

Probably TMI for a response to a joke but then again I give too much information in response to most things .

Haha. That's cool though. I visited the ruins in Sparta in 2014 when I was in Greece.

I think battle scenes must be incredibly difficult to draw/ paint. Human figures are difficult enough to draw accurately. I would imagine that the detail of armor and the action scenes/ positions of each soldier would add to the difficulty. As you can tell this really isn't my preferred style of art lol. I think I've only attempted to draw a Knight a couple of times in my life. I can really appreciate the work of others though who paint those scenes

The lighting effects in this are just amazing.

 

[LoveDivine]

I don't really enjoy drawing portraits or human figures. I struggle with those. I prefer drawing animals and flowers. Since I'm a die-hard Yankees fan, I figured the one portrait worth trying to sketch was of my favorite Yankee player .

You are right, the amazing thing is that this picture is more than likely straight from his mind. I am sure he may have witness a scene something like this, but the color, composition are purely inventive, he controlled every aspect of this picture.
