Last drawing of 2022 | Demon priestess
Hello hello and good day to you fellow hivers~
I just realized I never got to post this one because of life happenings, and because I haven't really been doing digital art as of late XD
IDK I just struggle to stare at a screen for so long now so I can't manage to finish anything digital lately. I definitely have no problem drawing traditionally though so I think I might end up staying as a traditional artist for a while. It annoys me when I fall back into comfort like this, but this kind of reset is needed sometimes so I don't lose touch of my traditional skills too.
Anyways, I can't even call this a completely finished piece because I reakky got lost on where to continue with this one. I just wanted to show the last thing I worked on last 2022 and also, I want to see a bit of art on my feed profile again because my good pieces got buried already.
So here's my last work:
Now before you say anything, I know there's still a lot to improve here like the mood, the lighting, also in the hands cuz I got lazy trying to fix and draw hands again. But I definitely spent a lot of time on this. Maybe I ended up staring at it for like a few days straight and I keep forgetting how bad red hurts my eyes, but I still did it anyways because I started this when I was really angry and my bloodlust mood was off the charts.
With that said, I wasn't really after blood, but I was really furious and I think that kind of carried over to this piece and I couldn't finish it because... well... my fury is now gone and I'm pretty soft again XD
This is my progression for the piece, though I couldn't capture everything this time because of how uncontinuous my work flow was
As you can see from my work flow... I really couldn't understand what I wanted to do with the lighting there and whether it should have that glow or not, but after just observing an actual candle in a dark room, I realized candles don't really have that much of a soft glow if you go at it close enough or like, if there's not enough surfaces for light to at least bounce off of. it ended up becoming like an experiment but lol, I now have this need to do cadle studies one day XD
Software used: Medibang paint
Duration: Collectively, 4 hours but in actuality, this took me weeks to at least get to this point. I'm excluding all the times I just blanklu stared at it, okay
I still remember this. I thought you ditched it haha. I like the lighting here. It would have been fun to see the finished version.
I count it as a ditched project. Maybe I'll remake it on a much milder note cuz my rage really emptied out after I started traveling a lot 🤣🤣
I don't know if I should feel happy or sad about your rage being gone since the art is not finished lolz.
Let's see when I remake it if no rage one would look better 🤣
Apaka dark and wild talaga ng genre nito haha, Hmmm does artist have a nightmares too with the picture you were making in the canvas?
I have nightmares often ah. That's why most of my stuff is dark. I draw what I see and feel so this is pure rage 🤣 tho this is the pinakagalit na nagawa ko sa Buhay ko so far 🤣
Andito kpa pla 😂 kya pla hndi ako mkareceive notif ng posts mo, naunfollow ata kita 😅..
Yeah I'm still here cuz I don't need to go to the mine site for now uli
This looks great and has a lot of potential! I had been waiting for you to post more of your art in this style. Keep up the great work.
You enjoy the very emotional pieces? Idk if I can do more of that cuz I'm not rage fueled these days 😅
There is a whole spectrum of emotions to artistacally explore! Think of it as a lab project where you have infinite possibilities and you actually enjoy the process.
Well I mostly get attractive results when I have strong emotions, but those emotions really don't linger around for too long so I always end up with an unfinished piece like this one
I have definitely been there myself. It's hard to get back into a flow at a later time... especially, when the feeling or emotional charge is no longer there or as intense.
That's why I go for milder and more constant emotions like creepy stuff cuz I'm always creepy. Some of my friends say some of my portraits always look sad or prideful and I do see that sometimes so it really does reflect mood
