Day Eight: Amaranth
Hi! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! I was listening to music this morning and decided to recreate some album art. I have done this once before for my Dio Tribute painting, which I based on a Rainbow album cover. Today, I wanted to recreate an album cover by my absolute favorite band, […]

Day Seven: Night Lights
Hi! If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past week, it’s that as long as I paint every day, I will perpetually be covered in paint. It’s all over me. My apron takes the brunt of it, of course, but it’s under my fingernails, on my elbows, my face, and in my hair. […]

Day Six: Wandering in Shadows
Hi! Today I used an 18″x24″ canvas I’ve been saving for a special occasion to create a likeness of my favorite Deity, Odin. I put him on a softly blended background with his ravens on his shoulders. I used red, yellow, and black to create a very dark brown, then used shades of that color […]

Day Two: Dragon Flight
Hi! When I woke up today I had an idea for a phenomenal painting. In my head, I saw a scenic misty forest with two ravens (Huginn and Muninn) flying above it on their way to carry news to Odin. It was going to be glorious. I set up my area, which is just a […]

Day One: Castlevania
Who’s excited to see my first painting? I can tell you’re all chomping at the bit. I decided to paint a scene from a video game today. I’m kind of a nerd, and video games are cool, so it just makes sense! It’s not the best painting, but I think it’s cute in a cartoony […]
