remembering that my old art teacher just has a serennedy painting in her classroom somewhere

#such an excellent show of how rad she was to have as a teacher lmao #she kept one of my most horrific body horror pieces and my painting of gay men #also first adult to support my transness in full entirety :)) #i think i got photos of the painting i might post at some point but no guarantees djdjdj #i miss that class so much it was such a great environment #my AP art portfolios are apparently being used in lessons for current classes and bro theres so many Luis studies and SO MUCH SERENNEDY LMAO #i got this info from my younger brother who's taking art classes and like yeah i approved for them to do that BUT I STILL AM LIKE AAAA #honestly just surprised theyre so lenient abt fanart like that lmao #love rambling in my tags cnfnck

Being an otherkin bastard's fun actually until someone asks you a sorta deep question about it and then you're confronted with The Horrors of Introspection

#textpost #I took AP art in high school and part of the portfolio project we needed to submit was to do like 8 pieces on a theme #that everyone had to do to test technical ability and understanding of the subjects #Then the other part was like 8 pieces that were entirely original in a medium of the artist's choice but they had to all tie together #So I drew a bunch of horrible monsters/demons looking miserable as all hell and for my tie-in essay on what the theme for them was #I wrote about how no matter how violent or gory or terrifying a monster is they can still feel loneliness and pain #I was really going through it back then lol #Anyway I got a 5 out of 4 on my portfolio. Still very proud of that. IIRC only one other guy in the class also got a 5 #4 of 4 was superb but 5 of 4 was like SSS rank flawless #It's a shame I don't have the essay anymore... I lost all my copies moving up and down the coast after high school.... #But I do still have my portfolio itself and all the art pieces

Hi Pia, I absolutely love your works and was wondering if you would ever do art of some of your characters.

And would you ever be open to take small art commissions?

Hiya!

I have done art of my characters actually, like this one of Gwyn ap Nudd. And I'm actually working on an Augus right now:

I don't take art commissions at all. I didn't love doing it when I actually worked as a professional artist (before I started writing as a professional writer) and ended up refusing to offer commissions in the end.

Besides, I would never offer commissions on drawing people anyway, because that's not my comfort zone as an artist and that's simply unfair to anyone who wants that kind of art for me. Folks who know me, know I'm an animal artist, and it's not really fair to commission artists for stuff they don't really naturally do, y'know? :D

(Also, I just don't really have the time. It takes me ages to complete any art pieces at the moment because the writing keeps me so busy.)

(But I am doing some Fae Tales art etc. for myself, and potentially for merch down the track :) ).

#asks and answers #fae tales merch #augus each uisge #fae tales verse #gwyn ap nudd #my art #i still haven't finished that augus yet yegods #i just have some colour down and that's it #but yeah no i draw animals #i've also drawn animals like #i've drawn the nightingale in nightingale form #and i've drawn Grip #there's a few bits and pieces i've done floating around sdlakfjsa #administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

2. Great Hall of the Bulls

Lascaux, France. Paleolithic Europe. 15,000 - 13,000 BCE. Rock Painting.

- Theorized that the place it was found had ceremonial or sacred meanings as it is a very difficult area to get to and is far from the caves entrance. - Creatures float in space, no environment around creatures. The rock is used to emphasize their bodies though. - Strong sense of motion - No brushes have been found, thought that maybe matts of moss and or hair were used to create the bulls thick black outline.

Twisted Perspective : All creatures are drawn in profile aside from the horns which are drawn front the front.

Super Imposed Forms : Creatures are drawn on top of one another, perhaps suggesting drawing them was more important than the finished product.

#literally forcing myself not to jump ahead to the Ambum Stone. Fav piece in prehistory (kind of) #really I just wanna show pictures of puggles #global prehistory #also !! 100% using my teachers notes but some stuff got cut off. lmk what I missed < #ap art history #art history #apah

I once had to pose in a ton of photos for a friend's AP photography final back in high school so may I present to you:

Steve Harrington, who gave in to Robin's begging that he act as her weird art model for her senior year portfolio (the same one her teacher is encouraging her to bat out of the ballpark and enter into contests.) 

She's doing a whole thing on fashion, subcultures and sexuality using photos and collaged poetry, a project that has Steve trying on different outfits and posing in different places. 

"This might help me land a scholarship, Dingus." She hisses while she's got him bent over her bathtub, spraying parts of his hair blue with wash-out dye.

Steve, soulmate and best friend extraordinaire, goes through it all with minimal (for him) bitching, even if the goth outfit feels absolutely ridiculous, and the 'geek' photoshoot downright laughable.

He starts to have fun when she has him mimic Nancy's straight laced, all A's good girl aura, and equally has a blast with the country look (he has no idea where Robin got a miniature horse but it conned him for every piece of food he had on him and then some.) 

The final piece is the one they're struggling with, the one Robin's now (fake) dying his hair partially blue for. 

A few hours later and he's dressed up once again in a studded leather jacket, the tightest jeans he owns ringed with belts, and combat boots.

 Robin had even talked him into letting her use eyelash glue to attach a few metal studs on his face--two acting as an eyebrow piercing and one on his nose. 

The looks he drew took a minute to get used too when all was said and done, Robin dragging him around Hawkins while she tried to find the 'perfect backdrop' but he's not gonna lie. 

He kinda enjoys being punk Steve.

That is, until Robin has him posing in an alleyway and Eddie Munson comes around the corner, jaw right about falling to the floor.

Even better? 

Eddie doesn't recognize him. 

Not at first, when he siddles up to Steve, nodding to the handkerchief in Steve's back pocket and then flicking the pink triangle pin on his jacket with a finger. 

Steve owes Jonathan a bottle of his father's best alcohol for giving him enough knowledge to get through the music razing Eddie subjects him too, and Steve's all too happy to play the part of punk asshole to Munson's music-snob metalhead.

It's not until Eddies playing with his hair and Robin gives in to letting him have a quick break from the shoot that he gives up the ghost, leaning in to whisper in Eddie's ear. 

"Gotta say, Munson," Steve all but purrs."I wasn't expecting you to fall for the Harrington Charm that fast."

"What?" Eddie asks, jerking his head back to look at him with wide eyes. 

Maybe it's the outfit giving him the extra ounce of courage, but Steve likes to think more that it gives him the freedom to lean forward and brush their lips together. 

Eddie doesn't return it, but that's alright. 

Steve's played this game enough to know that it was merely a hook for a real kiss. 

"Okay." Robin says, annoyed, camera at her side. "Steve, I'm happy that you're finally exploring that repressed as fuck homosexuality we keep arguing about, I really am, but I have to get this last photo!" 

He ignores her, instead nudging Eddie's shoulders.

"Care to pose with me?" Steve asks, grinning. He can tell Eddie still isn't sure if this is a joke, that he's seconds from running, and reaches out to tug on his black handkerchief. "Get Robin her photo, and then talk about this after, Mr. S&M."

Eddie flushes scarlet, but after some reassurance (and wheelding) from Robin, finally agrees. 

(Later, he agrees to a date, which Steve also credits the outfit for.

Even if Robin demands half the credit.)

On todays #paleostream MONKEY CRUISE RETURNS

With Ekembo and Pachylemur

For those who don't know, #MonkeyCruise is a series of paintings in which I turn classic positions from art history into paleoart pieces with extinct primates.

The Ekembo piece, as you probably have guesses already, is a homage to Leonardo da Vinci's "Last supper". One of his most famous works. I had my eyes on this for a while but only recently had an idea what to depict it with.

Ekembo is a great ape from the Miocene that was found on Rusinga island, Kenya. There wer volcanoes in the area which they also snuck into this piece. The apes here are gathering on this log because a migrating ant colony is crossing it, a welcome snack bar.

The second piece is based on a painting by Finnish painter Eero Järnefelt, called "Under the Yoke".

Pachylemur was a large lemur from the Holocene of Madagascar, it#s extinction is most likely human caused. Two causes are shown here: habitat loss, thanks to slash and burn agriculture and bush meat hunting.
