    Gorgeous! I love the vibrant greens and blues of beach scenes. Looking at this, I almost feel like I'm there. It reminds me of a Florida vacation I took a couple years ago.

    I like pictures that have people in them, but don't make the people the main focus. Usually I do it for humor, but it's also nice just to be a fly on the wall (or on the beach in this case) and watch the people go about their day. I actually didn't notice the person in the tree until the second time I looked.

      I'm happy you like it. It was really nice to do the difference between the shallow and deep water and the glaring sunshine - not something I usually do. It's funny how things that are boring in photos can make such nice paintings. I love how very clear water makes things seem to float in midair.
      The coconut picker was requested by the client, actually :)

Mock film posters - Descriptions

After discussing it with watchers on deviantArt, here are the film descriptions, as they were written from the perspective of the sci-fi rpg character, who is into hilarious musicals and action films: Sanguinees A zombies/vampires/werewolves musical with an amount of social entanglements worthy of any opera, and death under the full moon. The rock songs inspired by Russian choirs, and the famous costumes (most notably the holographic "nightmare" hairdo of the female lead) create the charme of this movie with a very foreseeable plot. Jinx'd - This is all your fault The comedy Jinx'd plays with the famous rules of Col. Murphy. The worst always does happen, and the characters "jinx" events by anticipating them ("The worst now wold be if the train broke down." Squeeeeaaak.) A treasure of the crowdfunding community with an incredible number of quote-worthy last words. The Pharaoh Bank A clever heist film with known actors in unexpected side...

Break with Charcoal

Image
Charcoal has been my favourite medium for many months now. These are some of the drawings I did recently, all done on 43×61 cm paper, from reference. Some animals are more fun than others - warthogs are awesome. There are also walkthroughs in my sketchbook thread on conceptart.org: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/324711-Ranarh-s-Sketchbook-Vol-2

Speedpainting '19 Dump

While I didn't manage nearly as many daily (or should it be often?) environment sketches as the previous year, I still made some. Here are a few of my favourites. Working in bulk is beneficial in several ways; it makes one feel less unproductive when they are piling up, one can get short ideas out quickly, and on the improvement side, doing many of a kind both trains doing it well, and shows up weaknesses. Later I repainted several of them in acrylics to get the hang of landscapes better, because it seems I do more landscapes digitally and more portraits traditionally. Almost all in different formats because I had precut papers I wanted to use up. If you're intereted, some are available in my Etsy shop .   "Why are they calling it Fish Falls if the fish don't fall? They jump." - "Jumping is upside-down falling. They just thought a three-word name would be too complicated to remember." They said that ages ago there had been four-legged, furry animals t...
