    What is your style?

    Oil inspired realism/semi-realism with exaggerated soft edges! I began painting because lineart work became too painful, and loose brushwork also helps with pain and fatigue—plus my detail is quite implied rather than neat which helps with my quite intense visual snow.

    A digital semi realism painting with oil like brushes, showcasing Sothis, a youthful goddess with light skin and long, wavy emerald green hair in thick ponytails. She wears a blue purple dress with a black leather chest piece and golden details down her torso and on a thick circlet. She holds her hands over Garreg Mach, a castle in mountains surrounded by dramatically shaped clouds that swirl around her. Behind her are more natural clouds hit with sunlight. This casts Sothis in a golden glow from the side and beneath her, casting highlights on the lower half of her face. A digital oil like painting of Sorey and Mikleo from Tales of Zestiria in a realism style. Sorey carries Mikleo in a bridal carry, fingers spread as though pleading. His face is covered in dark shadows and he smiles sadly with blood dripping down his face, one leg on a tree stump and the other shown in perspective from above on the forest floor. Sorey wears his white cape with feather details and buckled boots over dark baggy trousers. Mikleo is sprawled lifeless in his arms, his own arms limp, blood dripping down on one and through the chest of his turquoise and white jacket with gold embellishments. There are leafless trees behind them against a cool backdrop, and dying flames are on the forest floor.Sylvain and Felix painted in a digital realism oil style. They're painted side by side facing each other, Felix closing a gap for a kiss with his hands reaching to caress Sylvain. He wears an emerald ring. Sylvain waits for the kiss with a hint of a smile. He has spiked red hair, hit with bright light. The same light illuminates the side of Felix's face with warm orange and flyaway strands from his navy shoulder length hair.Dohalim is a Black man with red wavy hair, wearing Egyptian inspired clothing with a white shirt, blue shoulder cape and gold embellishments. He looks up and watches towards dripping blood. The light casts a flow off his body and brightly off the gold embellishments. He stands out against a dark background and blends into it from the bottom of his body and in dramatic shadows.

    What is your style?

    Semi-realistic highly detailed watercolors, definitely influenced by how my eyes work! I’m don’t consider myself visually impaired, but I do struggle with low contrast and have poor peripheral vision—which translated to bright colors and tiny, small paintings!

    Also Mega Malamar is so fucking good. I'm one of five Malamar fans and I'm stoked it's such a good mega. 😭 Likely will be on my final team!

    Day 10 of #septempera - a book is red.

    Had a hard time sitting to paint today so I'm not sure how I feel about this one yet. I'll have to look at it again tomorrow 😅
