Photo reference taken from this backstage photo post by @mcelroyfamilystaff
I'm sorry for being such a weirdo but I think these photos are genuinely beautiful and invite to be interpreted in paint. Big learning and really challenging work. Kinda interesting color study.
I made grids and helping guides digitally and printed the guides on A4 paper with my office printer. Then used chalk to transfer the grids and lines onto the canvas and kept painting from there. There's some slight proportional issue nonetheless so its not fully identical to the photo ref.
sending love to the lesbian community, you're all beautiful and I adore your flag colors <3
(drawn yesterday for the LesbianDayOfVisibility but totally forgot to upload here as well ;__; )
We reach the last stage of the #AdventChallenge . The remaining 6 days are all about #acrylicpainting
I've never done this on paper before, only on canvas and cardboard boxes, but I have to say I'm looking forward to it. I'm already impressed with what this paper can do. It doesn't even curl after drying! 😮
I'm still a bit clumsy when it comes to the intricate details - I still have some practicing to do these days ;) - but all in all, it's just a great medium that forgives you a lot because you can simply layer over the mistakes.
In keeping with the fact that it's just before Christmas, I want to make the acrylic paintings completely Christmas themed :)
Starting with a snowy #Jazztale Doorforest 😎

REBLOGS >>>> LIKES
slight lore under the cut
spring man: splatlands-raised octoling, literally just some guy. likes turf war and ranked but stays a little away from salmon run. The populace likes him. Light tetras main but likes zipcaster (Flying cackling freak)
ninjara: inkopolis-raised inkling. Current college student but not at inkblot (ninja squid college...). Likes ranked a lot more than turf and sometimes dabbles in slamon run. Cracked with the e-liter at this point he could just explode people with his mind. Sometimes goes with the bamboozler to tone it down but not any worse for it.
ribbon girl: inkopolis-raised inkling, ex-idol and better for it. does a lot of turf and has a lot of hobbies aside from that too. Applying to inkblot art academy (Still in high school). talks to the employees at the stores (gnarly eddy, harmony, etc) a lot. mains any deco weapon.
min min: splatlands-raised inkling, works at squintendo noodle house or some shit but turfs and does ranked on the side. not averse to salmon run. mains range blaster but generally likes the heavier weapons that she can get the hang of.
spring man and ninjara were a mini-team and so were ribbon girl and min min, they joined together after a few really good games.
mechanica: coconut octopus octoling raised in the splatlands. her mom was an ex-octarian soldier who defected for non-calamari inkantation reasons. her dad is a normal guy. She works at ammo knights part-time repairing weapons (her favorite pastime) and although she stays away from salmon run herself she is ITCHING to see how the grizzco weapons work
acryl (ARMS oc): inkblot art academy graduate, inkopolis-raised inkling. does turf and ranked and salmon run for money because comms aren't enough. the economy is in squambles :( also has a part-time at a flower shop with another oc of mine. lives with moriah. octobrush main forever and ever. flying cackling freak
moriah (ARMS oc): splatlands-born, inkopolis-raised inkling, also an inkblot art academy graduate. he's trying to make his own fashion brand, but for the moment he's a waiter at a restaurant and does ranked and salmon run on the side to pay rent. lives with acryl. hydra main :)
springtron: origins unknown, octoling. possibly sanitized but doesn't quite look it. de-sanitized? somehow? people don't know and people don't ask either because he's too intimidating. before joining mechanica/acryl/moriah's team he was cracked at ranked and everyone was freaked out by him. very competitive, does not often do turf, but gets very exhausted after battling, so he doesn't have many hobbies. Dark tetra dualies main, and Clash blaster when he's in a bad mood.
Its an actual real life boar skull. The jaw is seperate from the head and a vertabra is seperate (the piece of spine which connected to the skull). Its been cleaned and is in the process of being painted. The pictures are the painting process. It'll be a decorative display piece.
The boar was hunted by my mothers friend whos a licensed hunter and was subsequently butchered so the meat could be used and the majority of bones given to his dog.
