29. Old flames. I am very literal today. Sometimes, it's the only way to be. Prompts are from @JanelleCShane generated using the OpenAI net GPT-3. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVnp7BIFXMP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Our party of six fought long and hard against the mad warlord who seemed impossible to keep down!

A friendly aquatic dragon :) a mix of an axolotl, manta ray and some carnivorous honeydew inspiration in his little gill frills.

A Fox-Cat yokai, with some firefly characteristics, I created! Their name is Rebel, I had a blast designing them :)

Nuka! A blob of tar possessed by a dire wolf who died in the pit of the substance long ago!

Acrylic painting on paper.

I'm hoping to finish off this children's book this year. It's a lot of work. Too many illustrations - so many the printing cost will jump, so I might have to find a publisher for this one, rather than self-publish. This is acrylic on paper.

In the style of Lucien Freud, this little painting didn't take long, but was fun and an accurate representation of the model. Plus size models are often just as interesting as many of the thinner models we got in drawing sessions. Beauty exists for different people in different ways. Character is certainly a big aspect.

Done mostly with oil bar, this is more akin to a sketch than a painting. It's great when you can get loose with the process and end up with something that looks like a finished work.

Drawing Prompt Submission

This started out with an interest in drawing ferns and foliage, then surprised me by becoming a self portrait.

‘the Hunter’ Who is the hunter, the person or the fox? We often assume everything (including the title of this drawing) is about the human being. In this case 'the Hunter' refers to the fox (with the prey in her mouth). There are a diverse world of ‘beings’, all living their stories.

I used to do cartoons!

An automatic drawing, everything is out of my head with only the briefest idea of a story line. I played around with shapes and lines and shading to see what affect would result. It was fun, but time consuming.

Biking is my second love. And I should do more images like this as my imagination flies when I bike.

Playing around for fun.

Another fun stream of consciousness drawing and a way to get rid of old pens and markers.

Portrait of an imaginary robot woman. And attempt to use up old markers and short pencil crayons - whatever I've got left.
