I currently don’t have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what’s left of it).

Thank you so much! I’m glad you think so! 😃
I love drawing biblically accurate angels and peculiar creatures! I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I was particularly influenced to draw strange creatures after playing Pikmin, and that kinda stuck with me! Typically what I do is to just draw whatever image is in my head and I’m particularly fond of things with lots of eyes or none of them. Some ideas come from dreams wheras others arise spontaneously. Others come from simply messing around while sketching.
I use Paint Tool Sai 1 for all of my drawings. It’s an older program but it’s very lightweight and also has a really good pen stabilization and pressure system! I honestly wouldn’t trade it for anything else.
I can absolutely imagine these as Pikmin bosses that wipe half my team while I’m desperately blowing my whistle across the arena. Amazing!
Oh my gosh you have no idea how much that means to me seriously 😭 Pikmin was such a formative piece of media to me and I’m so happy you’re getting Pikmin vibes from it! Thank you so much!!
Oh neat! I’ve never played Pikmin, but they for sure have some strange creatures! My kid is a big fan of video game history, and I watched him play a MegaMan game (maybe MegaMan x?) I was really impressed by all of the creative enemy sprites and how they moved so very different from one another.
Also, funny coincidence – or not-- I recently listened to The Godfrey Audio Guide Episode 3: Cubes and Angels Which is an art history/fiction audio podcast covering both real and imagined art. In this episode, the Cubes are imagined, but the Angels refers to Max Earnst’s Fireside Angel. And I think your work has a similar feel, so I find it very interesting that your painting biblically accurate angles. Isn’t it funny how you run across these odd things, then start seeing them everywhere? Oh, I hope I don’t start seeing them IRL!
Megaman X will always be my fave, still has one of the most difficult end bosses though! I wonder if he beat the game. And I absolutely love that Fireside Angel omg!! I didn’t know about it until now but I totally get you and it really is a vibe! 😃 I’m glad you enjoy my art and thank you for showing me that picture too!
