  • ✨The Village Of Cantor

    ✨The Village Of Cantor

    I needed to create a concept with no background in the idea. I spoke out loud during a presentation at a meetup event. I realized I was lowering my standard by not writing a concept short for the illustration I was to draw.

    Below, I left you the concept write-up and a YouTube short. The video is 30 seconds long, and the reading is exciting, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

    Village Of Cantor

    Upon first sight of his landing, he noted a view of the castle from a hill. He saw farmland being worked by the village people of Cantor. The village mainly smelled of horses and pigs. He thought to himself as his stomach became hungry. He should come down and explore the estate. 

    While approaching the castle gates, he is greeted by two large guards holding spears of light. He comes closer with his hands open so as not to alarm the guards but to show loving-kindness and safe passage. 

    ~ The End

    The Village of Zupa in the Cantor region was brought to you by the Imaginative Illustrators of NYC. We are an artistic bunch meeting over Zoom to create art pieces while chit-chatting.

  • Proxy: War Can cause what Destruction?

    Proxy: War Can cause what Destruction?

    Proxy War 🏴󠁡󠁦󠁷󠁡󠁲󠁿

    Proxy War
    Proxy War

    Today was a pretty solid day, a slight chill, but sunny enough to keep you warm. More importantly, today’s prompt is Proxy; I defined it as the authority to represent someone else, especially in voting or a person authorized to act for another. Besides, if you add another word to next to proxy, it becomes a proxy war. Then, it becomes a war instigated by a dominant power that does not itself become involved. Therefore, I present to you a featured image using black and white flow study on the destruction of war using machines to fight for another country. I did it on earlier sketches like the Neighbors: How to Draw Them & Improve Your Focus? And the Simmer: How to Show Flow & Promote Scene Passion?

    More about the scene 🔥

    Equally important, I tried to use the size to move objects further into the background or promote them in the foreground. Coupled with the solid black on the left, I wanted to keep your focus on the right-hand side. Also, do you know if the focal point is clear? As you can see, the destroyed center by machines which only have a single programmed thought.

    The idea of proxy war came to mind when I went over to Pinterest and searched for the word proxy. I found an image called transmute artifact from the game of magic. I used some parts of that the object as inspiration to create the flying robots in the air. Not to mention, I almost quit because proxy didn’t have too many things I wanted to draw, but I kept my focus strong and figured a way out. I had written about a similar feat on What Kept Me From Quitting Ghoulish Challenge?

    I’m curious to know, or you’re interested to know ⁉

    What Kept Me From Quitting Ghoulish Challenge?

    Ghoulish & Giving up is easy 😍

    Ghoulish Hollowness! This was a challenge from WordPress to create a post based on a word.

    Now to the story 💀

    When I woke up, I realized that I signed myself up for a daily challenge, to draw for this Ghoulish prompt and for the new prompts. Yesterday’s prompt was Fluffy. Creating fluffy was challenging because I didn’t know what to expect. My hope is that we can improve our flow and gesture in the new prompts ahead!? Also, I hope to inspire other artists to do so as well. Therefore, I looked up the definition of Ghoulish or strangely diabolical or cruel, to see what images come to my mind, but nothing came to mind. I knew about drawing dragons, but it wouldn’t be enough. Then I found myself on the train starting to draw a dragon and listening to episode 6 of the Smart Passive Income podcast. His voice was encouraging, he mentioned the hardest part of any project is starting. At that point I decided to do a simple google image search and draw whatever seemed interesting to me. Of course I googled today’s word! From the word search, to the drawing, I knew I had limited time because my train was nearing its destination. Therefore, I kept my detail low and focused mainly on the shapes of each silhouette. When I got to work, I used most of my lunch time to finish off the pre processing of the images, like adding my signature, old paper look and those nice frames.

    Feel free to post your creations in the comments below. Also, my grammar and English isn’t that good either, if you see something odd, please let me know!? If you like what you see, please like, re-blog and follow for more inspiration! ¯¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Happy Hollowness! 💀 🐰
