#tried a whole bunch of shit and then pulled a Karina ‘‘Delete Your Art’’ Farek

[m-aximumjoy]

in celebration of my/our love Angel being introduced this past week I’ve been working on a re-paint of the Handkerchief Moment and not to toot my own horn, but I’m really proud of how the background came out and particularly of these two

Ignore the big ol’ hole it’s for Aki (heh)

#uggghhhhh I don’t want to tag this bc I simultaneously do not want anyone to see it and want to show it off #This Is For Me And My 60 Followers And For Us Alone #i spent So long on this fucking background. So Long. i could NOT figure out how I wanted to render it #tried a whole bunch of shit and then pulled a Karina ‘‘Delete Your Art’’ Farek #(though I guess it’s more of a Julia ‘‘Do Some Freak Shit’’ Lepetit move) #and just smudged and splattered and threw random shades everywhere #and after that I was like….oh. this works perfectly #after I’ve painted in The Gays I might do some more value work #try to make it a little more varied without drawing the eye too much #potentially add in some random color bits? very desaturated ones? #i dunno! point is I Made Progress and Did Something Scary #also I’m doing the entire thing on one layer which is also terrifying. #okay have I done enough tags for this shit to be buried #you used to just have to worry about the first 5!!!!! #now anything can show up in the followed tags page!!!!!!!! #it’s terrifying!!!!!!!!!! #anyways #chainsaw man #i thought of ‘oRYginals’ for an original post tag but idk how I feel about it #feel like it works better verbally than when it’s just text lmao #a n y w a y s. #if this does show up in the tag pls be nice I haven’t posted my digital art in at least half a decade #oryginals
