Title: Showing off some art
Post by: Solstice Lacer on December 08, 2019, 03:06:47 AM
Well I haven't sold any art recently, but I started painting with acrylics a while ago and wanted to share some of my results.

I really want to make a joke about the mushroom house painting, by reminding you that mushrooms only grow in dark, places. I'll try to refrain!!!

I hope your tat goes well.

Impressive!  Maybe it’s the lighting, but some of these look 3D... are you using REALLY thick daubs of paint, so that there are noticeable variations in the thickness of the paint in places, almost like painting with frosting?


Title: Re: Showing off some art
Post by: Solstice Lacer on December 23, 2019, 04:15:50 AM
Thanks :D I do indeed tend to layer my paint and build up thick and textured areas. I try to think about what is underneath or behind the things I'm painting

Your lack of response makes me think. You are humbly,  letting me know they are priceless?

 I can see that...
 I still had to try!

I like both but the top piece REALLY reminds me of the three-moon pantheon of the Dragonlance Saga (Yes, white Solinari is supposed to be larger than red Lunitari, but the with smallest, black Nuitari...well, it very much evokes that scene for me  ;))

It was a great series (especially for that time of my life) and I really enjoyed it...well at least for the books up to "Dragons of Summer Flame."   After that, I felt that the quality took a nosedive. 

But, yeah, fond memories  :D

Hi Solstice, really liking this picture! I have recently been watching Bob Ross' Joy of Painting and seeing the highlight colour and texture you achieved on your mountains remind me of his mountain landscape paintings - yet you're working in different mediums! (The way the highlight blends to shadow is spot on)

points will be sent over the next day or two.

Stupid question, I guess, but I can’t learn if I don’t admit I don’t already know...

Is this style pointillism, or some modified form of it?  Is it inspired by it? 


Title: Re: Showing off some art
Post by: Solstice Lacer on August 11, 2020, 06:06:39 PM
Not a stupid question. :) I guess it's somewhere between impressionist and true pointillism. Definitely inspired by, but I don't adhere to a particular style

Hi Solstice, I gotta say I love this picture too. And I think I may have a suitable title if you haven't named it already...how about "Morning Glory", as in the famous cloud formation?

Thanks for sharing your talents.

Darkside point on the way.

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved astronomy and Egyptology, SO seeing both of these pieces really resonate to me on a personal level  :)

You know, both are visually appealing for the same reason (well, at least to me  :P): the geometry of the polygons are simply wonderful^^

Thanks for sharing, SL!

Point!

I glanced through your whole assembled gallery here, I do have a particular fondness for some pieces in the bunch. To the point I'd enjoy seeing a few on my own walls. I appreciate that your style has been made more so your own. And you do seem to truly enjoy and be passionate about your work which is what matters. It's all rather enjoyable to see, thanks for posting it all.

Oh yeah, several of the paintings make me think of worlds (or views standing on worlds) that could be in SWU. Reminds me of some of my favorite moments from playing No Man's Sky or Mass Effect. That "standing on some alien planet" staring into uncharted stars... Very evocative.

I really wish my final picture came out better.  The light shifting from the lava lamp makes her painting look like it is moving too! It's a really cool effect that I completely failed to capture in my photo. It is very hypnotic and has helped me sleep on more than one occasion.
 I'm very grateful for the painting! I can't thank Solstice enough.
