@griffin Does anyone know why my images show up blurry when posted in a thread? If I click on it to expand it it’s fine but otherwise it’s blurry.

[carlianne]

@griffin maybe it's too large of a file? Try uploading a smaller resolution

[Griffin McPherson]

@carlianne I’ve tried smaller images (1200 px on longest side) and 72 dpi. I’ve also tried jpeg vs png but to no avail.

@kylebeaudette I love this!!

Made a mock-up book cover from one of my Submissions from the Star Monthly contest.

It’s fun to see “what if” this existed outside the digital realm…

I went to Lake Placid, NY (site of two winter Olympics) for some decidedly non-Olympic standard cross-country skiing. They offer dog sled rides on the frozen lake and I loved watching the joy and enthusiasm of the dogs pulling the sled. I did this piece when I got home.

After watching Marco Bucci's digital painting Demo, I allow myself to have some fun with painting. Just remember to be child like in doing art.

@aurelia This looks really good!

[aurelia]

@kim-rosenlof Thank you! I was trying the oil painting brush in PS, it was great fun!

[demotlj]

Another sketch from my trip to Lake Placid for cross-country skiing (or in this case, walking.) I keep hoping that one day these sketches will turn into great backgrounds for an illustration but so far the SVS prompts haven't lined up. I need a prompt like, "Riley decided caution was the better part of valor."

So happy I finally finished a full page illustration. It's been a while.

Tried posting this the other day, didn't work for some reason. Here's a character I finished this week. A frog as a science teacher. I have a not-so-fond memory of dissecting frogs in middle school.

@demotlj I am such a sucker for ink drawings. It's been a bit since I did a drawing in pen. I have my very first ink brush pens on the way from amazon though! Mwahaha!

[kayleenartlover]

@kayleenartlover I cannot believe it took me 3 days to realize that I drew the hand (holding the scissors) backwards. Whyyyyy?!

[burvantill]

@kayleenartlover I do that ALL THE TIME! In this case I think you could have got away with fixing the pic and editing the post without anyone noticing. Those long froggy fingers look almost the same. I didn't notice until you said something

I finished reading Kami Garcia’s Raven and BeastBoy series. It inspired me to work on a comic book idea that had been cooking in my head for almost a decade. Here is one of the characters I created for the comic book. More to come…

Husbands birthday is tomorrow he wanted me to design a traditional style owl tattoo for him… this is a first for me, and deadline is tomorrow! Update: finished early! He’ll have to redraw it of course because I’m sure his hands are much steadier than mine, my line work is a little uneven…
