Acrylic paint on canvas.
Was able to create raised texture, I really enjoy that when working with acrylic :) I work without a reference so I just had a quick Google search before starting and then painted off the top of my head, so it might not be accurate @-@
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
This is great -- it's fun and pleasing to look at. Well done! For me, the most interesting parts are the thick layering of blue to create that impasto effect, and the octopus's arms breaking out of the bounds of the canvas onto the blank void. I like where you're pushing up against the boundaries of how you're conventionally supposed to paint, would love to see more of that if you do this again.
Questions: Why did you Google search before starting this? And do you have any favorite artists / cartoonists / painting styles?
