Most of the time at my job I work on the computer. I scan little ink drawings and color them in photoshop, or make flyers- you know, it's fun and it changes all the time so I'm never bored. But last week I painted an image for an upcoming meet up. I feel the most in love and fulfilled with the world when I'm painting. I loooove mixing the paint, and I love being a little messy. I get lost in it, really, and that's all anyone wants.
You'll see below the Thinker from RethinkDB and the Docker whale on a high sea adventure. I used J. W. Turner paintings for reference. There are a couple photos of my process below. I glazed a complementary color in the sky so it would shine through all the bushy grey clouds which was the best choice I made. Water has always been a little difficult but I tried some curly sea foam patterns and it instantly brought it to life, too.
The final image!
