Ned, it was someone else's work, originally, I think I just added on a few frames at the end. I can't find the original thread to confirm. But thanks. :)

additional umprompted lore, just because i've been looking at this thing for years and haven't really talked to anyone about it: it's funny that what turned into a david bowie look-alike on the boat started out as a version of chris killip's photo 'simon being taken out to sea for the first time since his father drowned'. i tried to do that kid's face so many times and then it became david bowie lol

― H.P, Tuesday, 4 June 2024 09:19 (four months ago) link
thank you H.P.! a scroll down memory lane is an arduous task in this thread, although photobucket/tinypic getting bought out and then taking all the images down probably helps a little. i believe the first image in this thread (and my first gif) was tom cruise eating shit on a loop! hopefully i saved that one somewhere, it was cutting edge gfx ;)
i think i finally finished the big one, so i'm getting ready to try to take some photos and document before it goes...above my bed i guess. a 70"x40" is a tough sell anywhere, lol, even my own apartment.
speaking of, sorry for a good news post but it's been a months-long process but i finally got my new studio space built up and ready to go at my new place! it's a very small room, but it has a window, a fan, nice light in the afternoons and evenings, close access to a sink, and a nice big mirror that's hung up at an angle to make it useful for figure references. also got a part-time job that's set up to just barely pay my living expenses and maximize the time i get to spend doing what i want to do (art and music).

paper towels are my cheap and lazy ass system to semi-clean brushes, really just re-using the same 3 or 4 brushes and palette knives for pretty much everything, so i'm always wiping them clean and dabbing excess paint left and right

appreciate it! so of course this has no color, yet:
https://i.imgur.com/9n4EOVM.jpeg
i'm probably going to add some color to it this afternoon, but it's just charcoal on a piece of drawing paper so i'm not sure it can withstand much more than oil pastels. i might add just a splash of color somewhere and then use fixative to keep the charcoal where it is now. i like how gritty and messy it is right now!

welp, i went ahead and added a bunch of color! i accidentally used a patch of oil pastels (instead of chalk) which changed everything. i've been using a little kit of oil pastels i got a year ago, trying to use every single little piece all the way down to the nubb before moving on

― z_tbd, Friday, 28 June 2024 20:39 (three months ago) link
ok not "massive amounts" of paint, but more than i can afford. oil paint is expensive. however, one plus side is that i'm finding a very economical and practical reason to use the "only use primary colors + white" approach to mixing a palette, which i think is a fun way to go about things

i work well with deadlines (or...it makes me get the work done quickly and usually effectively) so i'm happy to have only 8 days to finish these two.
https://i.imgur.com/pQCiRcA.jpeg
as always, i have been failing to submit my paintings anywhere, for anything, and so one of my goals is to at least do the low hanging fruit shit and submit to local juried exhibitions. the next one is due in 8 days and includes up to 5 paintings, and hopefully these will be #4 and #5. if nothing else, i still feel like i'm improving because i tend to be most excited about my most recent paintings. my cleanliness has been shot to hell (i have paint all over myself, my computer, the bathroom, the floors. last night i had a burnt umber disaster which was exacerbated by the color of the cheapass floor being burnt umber, also. it was like playing paintball in the dark without nightvision) and i've almost completely stopped using brushes (just relying on the same plastic palette knife for almost everything, which i'd like to change)
― z_tbd, Saturday, 3 August 2024 15:51 (two months ago) link
i hope that i get to show the one on the left irl someday because i think it is better appreciated in person. it has this weird illusion thing going on that's heightened if you look at it from a certain perspective - specifically, about 2 feet away, with the eye level in the middle of the painting, at about where the wrists are. from that position, you can tilt your head downward and see the feet and lamps and floor as if you were looking down at them from above in the painting. the same with tilting the viewer's head upward - i'm trying to make it so the head and future plant life will look like it's up there in the sky, looking down at you. it's kind of like a fisheye perspective, i suppose, but i'm not sure it'll come through.
one thing that sucks about these anonymous juried exhibitions is that they don't look at the paintings irl, they just look at images. (i understand why they do that, and yeah, i don't really want to go to the effort of hauling my awkward-ass sized paintings to some building and dealing with all that shit only to learn that once again, i was not accepted but thank you for the $35 fee and there's another opportunity next month, it costs $35 though, and haul all the paintings back home). for each of the five paintings, i'm allowed to submit one image showing the whole canvas, and one detail. i guess that's better than nothing, but the thing i'm most interested in while i'm working is in the close-up texture, impasto, volume/depth stuff that you have to see in person, and i'm not sure that ever really comes across in images

thank you, appreciate you looking! of course, as soon as i finished documenting it, i realized the window/legs needed to be shifted a bit, so i just made a little edit
https://i.imgur.com/f1xwt5I.jpeg
i might try to use this one (made with oil pastels) as a study for an oil painting, which is a combo i've never really tried before. i imagine it might be a little frustrating (getting the right colors with oil pastels is nice and easy because they come in sets that already complement each other, whereas with oil i try to just use primary colors + white to create colors) but also a challenging exercise, probably a good one to try!
