Just finished a painting I started quite a while ago and thought it's time I post something for once.

Into the Void
Acrylics on canvas, 20x60cm. No clear coat on it yet, would've probably enrichened the colors, but also made it even harder to get a decent photo of it done.



bigger version and close up

here it is on the easel (which I made out of some scrap wood myself also)


And as a bonus some carvings I did. One of the new things I dabbled in recently.

elephant, which now is in possession of my sister


sitting cat


tinybear


and finally a size comparison


Thanks for looking, I hope you liked it.

fun stuff

been working a lot in blues lately myself.

well, blues with some gold or yellow here and there... just cause and speaking of which, i would say, don't compromise on them! i think it would be just a little bit better if his eyes had some true yellow to them instead of being mostly greenish

very much enjoyed, looks like you're having fun

edit: i checked your site, and saw that you've painted him before, and that his eyes are supposed to be green, so my sincerest apologies!

Nice stuff.
Love that cat

Nice. I haven't worked with oil in such a long time. I like how his antennae disappears into the wind or something. His back looks a bit weird though; like he has some weird hump right underneath the back of his head.... otherwise it looks good!

The cat looks awesome! I especially like the integration of the character with the stand.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

@bobthedinosaur - the eyes do actually look a tad more yellow irl. Since I did mix in some especially for the highlight.

@Omi-kun - thanks again for the back crit, I hope I fixed that now (might take another photo and look at it in comparison). It's weird how different a few things look on a photo of a painting and what you notice on it that you don't while staring at it for hours when painting it.

Seems the cat is everyones favorite. Should make me a strop as my carving knives need some sharpening me thinks. But I always get sidetracked onto something new and oh well. Also I'm not entirely sure what compound to use for the strop and where to get it really. Sometimes getting certain tools or materials is a real pain.
