MOTH AND COMPASS VISITS THE MUSEUM OF THE VANISHING DOG

[moth and compass is a collaboration with @natdrinkstea, museum of the vanishing dog is a podcast by @boyhood and @samsketchbook!]

#em draws stuff #museum of the vanishing dog #oc time again hehe #moth and compass #the fool: moth worley #the magician: peregrine #the light keeper: luna maitland #the lieutenant: chadwick goodfellow #with special guests Spam Furby Wet Flesh Lump and Mellified Lamb!#as soon as the 'he just won't die' souvenir shirt came up in the immortal canine episode I knew I wanted to draw moth wearing it #and then things got a little out of hand and I started doing Complex Lighting and Composition #samsketchbook's artwork seemed like a fitting influence for Fanart of Ye Podcast so I've borrowed a little from the creature shapes #as well as 'our furby of the horrible meat' which itself is art for the museum! it was Surprisingly delightful to draw said meat :)

#drawing big beasts with funny little creatures is my favorite hobby #this one was tough cuz I have like eight different versions that I like w like a blue background #but I’m trying to keep it from looking too messy composition wise #and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!#also I tried working on this in a certain chain coffee shop and I was just thinking ‘huh. this probably soon insane out of context’#not that it has much of a context haha #demon #creature #alien

TOP 5 TWO-DIMENSIONAL SHAPES

(this is my own top 5 and is 100% subjective, i am not trying to offend anyone with my personal shape choices, i am aware that t his is a sensitive subject for people in the 2D shape fandom)

ALLLRIGHT ON 5th PLACE I HAVE THE CARDIOID!!!!!

even tho this shape is only fifth place it is still rly good, its nicely shaped and smooth, the wiki page says it was studied a lot, and i agree this type of shape should be studied just ass much as any other shape.

ON 4TH PLACE IS THE RHOMBUS!!!!

BEAUTIFUL NAME AND BEAUTIFUL SHAPE, the name is so great i could just say rhombus every single moment of my life and stay happy. the plurals a Rhombi also its a 4 sided shape with all 4 sides being the same length, just like a square.

3TH PLACE IS THE INTEGER TRIANGLE!!

OUTOF ALLL the triangles the integer is my fav triangle of all time, all sides are.. integers, and it is perfect for doing some pythagoring in your free time!

FOR SECOND PLACE IT IS THE ONE THE ONLY

HEXAGON

this is one of my more controversial picks, a lot of people in the shape fandom would have chosen hexagon as first place! but i think it is a great second, don't think i dislike the hexagon btw it is a great shape!! amazing repitition!! bee's know the deal. but it could never be as amazing as the amazing, the famous

SQUARE

Y'ALL SHOULD KNOW IT I AM A SQUARE LOVER, SQUARE'S ARE SLEAK PERFECT AND SINY, I'D SUCK THE DICK OF A SQUARE IF IT HAD ONE BUT IT DOESN'T CAUS ALL SIDES AND CORNERS ARE THE SAME!!!! AND THAT JUST MAKES ME WANT IT MORE

SQUARES ARE EVERYWHERE, LOOK AT TETRIS? ITS JUST FUCKING CUBES,LOOKAT MINECRAFT (i know its a 3d shape and made out of cubes but a cube is made out of squares so stfu) AS A PIXEL ARTIST I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SQUARE IS THE BEST SHAPE TO DRAW WITH, ITS PERFECT NOTHING CAN. BECHANGED, Y'ALL SQUARE HATERS CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP

At least now I have some idea of how I want a final painting to go? Not sure if I will have the will to do an additional color study with compositional adjustments, but this still turned out better than I initially expected.

Autumnal equinox pallanoph coloration is more or less fantastical, but who knows?

Caran d’Ache colored pencils in a sketchbook that didn’t sign up for this torture.

#pallanophs #sketchbook #color study #colored pencils #fantasy art #creature design #personal work #autumnal equinox #fall foliage #fall colors #illustration #the asters won’t be nearly as dorky in the painting but hahaha I can’t draw that small #some contrast and saturation issues here and there too #want the composition expanded on the bottom as well

#WorldCamelDay:

Composite Camel with Attendant Iran, Khurasan, c. 1575-1600 Opaque watercolor & ink on paper Metropolitan Museum of Art New York

"While composite animals such as this one are known from earlier periods of Persian art, they gained in popularity toward the end of the 16th century. Here, comprising the overall shape of a camel, are found images of demons (divs), dervishes, embracing couples, rabbits, dragons, and even a Buddhist monk, sporting an earring and carrying a khakkhara (sounding) staff. The meaning of such images is open to interpretation, but many scholars believe them to have mystical significance—likely referring to the unity of all creatures within God."
