Re: Alchemicals's journey (to improving)
R I S E F R O M Y O U R G R A V E Hello everyone, I'm back. I considered making a new thread due to this ones age, but I feel it would defeat the point if you couldn't follow from where it all began. So here we go: 2019 was a hard year where not a lot of work was produced. I decided to share a few highlights to show where… -
Re: Alchemicals's journey (to improving)
Another update. I don't know why I'm continuing this thread as I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'll never become a commercial artist. Not a cry for pity but just the reality that's come with not being interested in the work offered in the entertainment-sphere, caution around AI, disinterest in NFTs and dread around… -

A bad habit I've aquired over all these years is getting into details way too quickly. So I was told to solve big problems first before tackling smaller… -
Re: Alchemicals's journey (to improving)
Trying to apply what I have learned recently into some smaller illustrations. I feel like I have become a lot looser and relaxed. Bit by bit the constant performance anxiety and crushing hopelesness of maybe not making this into a career is dissipating. This one was made on an iPad. Scary stuff working on such a small… -
Re: Alchemicals's journey (to improving)
Some smaller studies of various images in my reference-folder. My workflow is in a big need of change as I've realized a lot of my work-process is just me noodling for hours on end, blending back and forth. These are part of the steps taken to change that. -

Two paintings for y'all! Most focus is going into my mentorship right now so original output is a bit slower. Here are a couple of tidbits from the mentorship:
