This post at dw_maintenance is really heartening; people, at least superficially, are interesting in making and maintaining their DWs! Woo! Is there an active subscription meme going around?

Today I'll be going to work and immediately heading to the studio to work on my current painting (inspired by Zeus and Ganymede, although this Zeus wears a plague doctor mask and has wings and big monster claws so you know, definitely just inspired). I'm using markers to color the wings because I've had a lot of success using markers for feathers and I'm finally really interesting in something I'm doing for painting class this semester and I want it to be successful. Markers are really time-consuming though, haha, so that's what I'll be working on this weekend. ;3;



WIP closeup of the wings! Four colors are used for each feather. This really is going to take forever. :'D

Friday is a guilt-free day off and I can't wait.

2017revival has people posting profiles on the community in an effort to find friends on DW. I'm not going to post there just now because, right now, my journal is all health crap all the time.

Oh yes, thanks for the heads up!

I love the shading- looks awesome! :D

[nanslice]

Thank you! :D

omg those feathers look AMAZING! Are you doing it on marker paper, or something more absorbent?

[nanslice]

Thanks! I'm using mixed media paper! This will also have watercolor and acrylics on it so I needed something with a heavier weight.

Wow, those feathers look awesome!
Also, did you say plague doctor mask? This sounds super cool. :D

[nanslice]

Thank you!

I loooooove plague doctor's masks and the original work I've been creating lately has been leaning towards the surreal, so I thought why not? XD

Featherssssss.

They look so good <3

[nanslice]

Thank you! I'm really excited about them, haha. <3

The feathers are beautiful!

[nanslice]

Thank you! This piece is mostly feathers but there's also big areas of what basically ends up being negative space (even though it's something, it's still empty space) so there's a nice balance happening. :3
