Welcome to Barsoom.

Felt like taking a shot at Dejah Thoris. She is described as barely clad except for her ornaments. I added something to maintain modesty and make it postable. Watercolors with a Tombow caligraphy pen and Sharpie paint pen. Worx battery powered heat gun to dry portions quicker.

Yes, the waist proportions are extremely exaggerated, that was intentional.

It's been awhile since I've played with watercolors so I think it's time to do so. If you've got nothing better to do, come join me as attempt to paint this drawing of Dejah Thoris. You can even join me in the stream. The link will be provided upon request. We can talk about whatever.

It will only get more proficient at it. I may not like how they build the programs by swiping the art of others for their training sets. But it's a case of not being able to put the genie back in the bottle.

I do dabble with it to brainstorm ideas. It is undeniably good for that. But I do get sad seeing the proliferation of straight ai generated images being passed off as being made by the artist(s).

@CinnamonGirlE Sadly, I suspect it's ai generated. Subtle things in the hair, where strands don't make sense, the worst being the strand coming out of her eye.

There's an ai guy that goes by Matt's Mac that's done a bunch of tone paper girls with glows. Not positive it's his, but it seems in line.

I feel like drawing Poison Ivy. Should I go with green skin or Caucasian?

@MariaAragon64 Nothing wrong with switching things up every now and then. Think of it as exercising different muscle groups.

Comic Jam Hawaii did a Planet of the Apes themed Drink & Draw; I went in a weird direction and drew Zira from the original movies but I put her in a dress at The Met with Guillermo from the Jimmy Fallon show. Yes, I don't get it either, my mind just goes weird places sometimes.

Zaius was a quick sketch done a the end of the stream.

Taylor Swift reportedly had a meeting with Kevin Feige to discuss a possible role in the MCU. I'm calling now. Meet your new Kang!

Wolverine reimagined as a Viking. This is very cool, and well done.

Warning, graphic violence.

I started this a couple weeks back, finally got back to it. Guardsman Relc discovering free weights. :D


@NaomiSkarzinski studies are from reference. Internet is full of pics and videos you can screencap. Goal is to build the muscle memory so I draw similar without reference.

Your 40 portraits does the same thing. Consciously or not you build the knowledge of facial topography, planes, proportions, etc.
