It's a lino print! Could've been printed better! Still, I'll take it.

Depicted is the 1964 version of Godzilla attacking Austin (TX), specifically the dirty sixth street area downtown. As I posted in another thread, I have zero idea why I wanted to make a print of that in particular, but... here we are.

Some seriously colourful & high contrast work in the thread since I last popped in, it's great!



This painting is from the end of spring, the canopy has filled in in the woods now so I think it's time to start a different type of painting approach that fits in better with that. I have really enjoyed this stint of dotting leaves amongst glazed paint though.

I really like this! I love the contrasts. The dark at the bottom works really well with the light sky. That’s harder to do than it should be.

I really like Godzilla too. Great perspective

This is really gorgeous, I love the colors but also just how... I don't know, 'clean' it is? The grass and leaves look so neat and orderly, but not in a way that makes them look unnatural! I really dig the style.


I drew this over the last week

Acrylic pen, fineliner, gel pen

I've committed to drawing maybe 30-40 more landscapes like this then making a coffee table book

stop making sense
Thanks! I think it's because it's individually all very simple in the mark making and range of colours. I've been pushing myself to opt for colour and contrast where possible, for a long time I couldn't imagine how people can use bold lines and colours like in your piece but I'm slowly convincing myself not to merge everything into a mild gradient!

Bit stuck on my current piece but will post it however it comes out once finished, having this thread around is nice to look through in lieu of seeing any stuff in person for awhile!

I improved the mechanism, they are a bit harder to set in but they are much more stable and turn more smoothly. Maybe at some point I'll try other things in addition to gears to get more kinds of motion, or maybe more 3D shapes.

Motorised one. Linked to a camera+facerecognition. It turns the gears when people aren't looking at it.

That would be neat. I might try the motor at some point but I literally know nothing about motors or electronics so it seems like it would be more work as far as the learning process goes.

This is a painting that I've been working on:



It's based on this photo that I took:



I'm trying to work on two things. The first is colors - I painted this with just red, yellow, blue, white, and black, because I'm trying to get better at mixing and matching colors. The second thing is not over blending, which I've read is a common mistake for novices. If anyone has any thoughts, especially on those two things, I'd appreciate any feedback.

I'm going to assume you are going for a realistic/semi-realistic style. My first advise would be that before your start getting into color you work on other more pressing matters.
-First of all, your perspective is really off. Look at the slopes of the buildings, or the lines on the ground and they are going in entirely different directions. If you are interested in making paintings of buildings I'd tell you to focus on learning about perspective first. This picture is mostly in 1 point perspective which is actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

-Another thing you should learn before you get into color is values. There are three aspects to color: value, hue and saturation. Value is how light/dark something is. Hue is the actual color. Saturation is how vibrant the color is, for example between pure red and pure gray. Value is arguably the most important because it comes into play with or without color and it is what helps everything get volume. If you can make a painting in black and white with good values you should have no problem jumping into color.
The buildings in the photo are some of the darkest spots while in your painting they are some of the lightest. This makes everything look flat and non-dynamic.

-A good rule of thumb is to avoid using pure white, gray or black. If you need a shadow make it a deep blue or purple. If you need a light make it a bright yellow or pink. This makes everything look more vibrant and interesting.
If you look at the latest painting I posted here I actually broke this rule but only because the client didn't want it to look childish so I intentionally de-saturated the colors.

i love this and also now lino printing by extension. my 3 year old is obsessed with godzilla - would it be possible to get this stamped on a sheet of paper and mailed to me in houston? id like to frame it and put it on his wall!

Thanks! I'd be happy to do so, but need to be honest (mostly to myself) about two things:

(1) I'm not exactly thrilled with the quality of the prints I've been getting, namely the uneven coverage. I doubt a kiddo would notice/care, but it does lead me to...

(2) I don't think I'll do another round of prints for a week or two. If your son's still into Godzilla at that point, I'll definitely send you a print. Drop me a PM and I'll update you once I have something halfway decent ready to go.

Oh, I tried :negative: Wooden spoon, crappy Speedball baren, copy press, bone knife -- I've never been happy with the results.

At this point I'm reasonably confident that my problem is inconsistent/uneven ink coverage more than anything. Next time around I'll try to keep to multiple thinner layers, since that's apparently what works better with Caligo safe wash inks.

Do you mean the origin as in the technique?
I was inspired by Huichol art where they paste beads over a layer of wax, usually on small sculptures. Although I used silicon glue and "diamond painting" beads for this.

If you meant the thing that's depicted, it is inspired on the "Ophanim" biblical angel.

The technique of using gears.

Oh, that. I started as an animator and wanted to make paintings that moved in some way so I came up with the gear concept. I started looking into woodworking to make the gears but I didn't have any of the tools or space for that so I shelved the idea for a few years. Then I started looking into 3D printing and it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

Glad you liked them. Each one is a little different and lately I can't seem to decide on how glossy I want the finish to be.
