Here I will delicately place two pictures I completed before getting here. I made these to practice rendering and colours and composition and what not, so you might be able to notice a disparity in confidence between the line art/figures and the other elements at play. I also think my computer monitor might have it's gamma setting boosted so my rendering attempts trend in the over-dark direction. I did set out to make dark compositions here, but I wanted to maintain visual interest/clarity too!

This ↑ was my first time playing with the filters in CSP, you can see how I got excited with the blurring and warping! It is a pretty simple drawing, part of my process here was forcing myself to let go and make haste!

There were several effects I had set out to implement in this image that fell flat! At some point I gave up on logic and started doing stuff cause it looked cool. Initially I intended to have this midair fiend backlit by the full moon with all the dramatic contrast that composition demands, but then I thought to add a diffused underlight akin to trail cam footage. Unfortunately I was too married to my nice line work and form to really follow through with these ideas and so it ended up caught in this uncanny in-between place where the light is nonsensical and the rendering on the body looks more like an infra-red heat map. I can't explain the colour choices, I think I mostly harvested them from the posterized clouds I foraged from google. I still like this drawing, as strange as it is.
The subject matter here can be loosely explained by my historical proclivity for drawing skeletons or skeletal ghouls/creatures, which has left strange skill gaps where I struggle/don't think to draw clothes... I am working to overcome this, because I see how it can introduce unintentionally off-putting vibes into my drawings!! But in the meanwhile we're all gonna be stuck with ribs and sinews
