The detail on the joints is great and I love the framing.



I'm looking for some colour ideas for this lady here. There'll be an orange glow and tint to her skin from the bulb, a little violet for the emperor moths, but otherwise I'm uncertian. Any thoughts?
It'll be in watercolour so there's some limits to my colour range in brightness and saturation.

It really is not my place to give opinions about art as I can't draw to save my life.

But the first thing that springs to mind is death head moths, not emperor moths because of the skeletal hands and a general all over green feel to compliment the feeling of nature contrasted by the orange glow.

Kinda mother nature verses modern day encroachment of technology (topical) :-\

Giger did a few green, which I prefer to the grey and black......... Any way...... 2 bobs worth.

I did briefly consider the Death's-head hawkmoth but decided against it: I wanted something more local and less well known. (I also don't plan on the painting being that big which could make the 'skull' on the death's head rather difficult to see.)

I'm liking the green idea though.  :)

Do please post a pic of the final result.

The word pagan came from paganus , who mean peasant . Its was a way to significate than christianism was the religion of the elite and paganism the one of the savage worker class.

''Trickster shows us how we trick OURSELVES. Her rampant curiosity backfires, but, then, something NEW is discovered (though usually not what She expected)! This is where creativity comes from—experiment, do something different, maybe even something forbidden, and voila! A breakthrough occurs! Ha! Ha! We are released! The world is created anew! Do something backwards, break your own traditions, the barrier breaks; destroy the world as you know it, let the new in.''

So, I am in the process of painting a snowy view from a non-existent window for Christmas... I want it to replace the Kandinsky (in jest - it is a painting our 4 year old granddaughter did that I had enlarged) just over Christmas. That way, when it is 40 degrees on Christmas Day, we can look out of our fake window at the snow and feel cool...  ::)



(just hope the image works!)

MOD NOTE: It works better if you pick the "download" link rather than the "share" link.

Sorontar

Looks lovely. Wish I could paint like that (I wish I could paint at all).

Hope the other window doesn't have a bright red fire illuminating all within.

I am not sure what those guys realy are or how on earth i came up with the concept...  :D But i used them from time to time in a sort of a RPG platform (i think it can be translatet to "The kingdom of birds" or something like that, it is populated by an humanoid like ornitoid race, the main protaginists looks pretty much like the Japanses Tengu, but i came up with them long before i did knew about the Tengus, i just can't describe how excited i was to find out that those birdmen where an actual and genuine part of the mythologic history somewhere in this world as well!) me and my brother made very long time ago.
Later we did add in more humaniod reces, like moutain elves, an improved more human like elf race which cooperated with the native tall and muscular ornit men (i desigend the ornit men with a larger mass of upperbody musculature compared to humans, since about 2/4 of their planet is a giant unfriendly jungle like wilderness populated with all sorts of monsters that fit in there i taught they kept most of their former wing musculature; in order to defend them self evolution made them extremly taugh and they lost their ability to fly long time ago when their ancestors became too bulky, but develope a human like intelligence). Those snail-octopus like being creatures i attempted to draw here, despite i realy can't draw, where among the protagnists they originaly came from the wilderness but turned out to posess a very high intelligence well in class with the birds and the humanoids and ability to comunicate well enugh to be understood and sided by the mountain elves and the Bird men. They dig out tunnels underground where they live in order to keep them self warm in the winter and create a cold humid climate in the summer since i suppose they don't like if they skin is drying out too much. There are many different species of them, but they all share the common biology shown here, they just vary in size, shell patterns and some time living habitats since a few of them are semi aquatric races, they breath air and i suppose they need to hawe some stype of inerna support structure made of bone i in order to be able to use humanioid weapons i guess.

I don't know if this is considered art. It's debatable, but one of the hottest topics on the interwebs at the moment is Artificial Intelligence uses in Fine Arts and Architecture.

This is what I got using a piece of software called "Dream" by Wombo. The images were generated with two pieces of information, 1. A short descriptive phrase, "1920s Flapper" and 2. A random head shot of a woman wearing a short bob haircut

I don't know if those realy conts since the are all made by using AI selection, but i made those in artbreeder a few days ago:
(They are all copryright free so feel free to use them as You wish! I earn no money from them anyway.)

Is urban photography acceptable in this thread?

This was just a rambling thought in my mind.

Most acceptable, J Wilhelm!

Should we start a photography thread? Maybe, with the "Steamy Steampunk Buildings" and "Abandoned" threads, we should have a whole Photography board?

A photography section sounds good (given we have various costuming/dress up threads...). There's so many subjects to cover too: family portraiture, historical portraits, industrial, etc.

Otherwise regarding architectural themes, there's an oversight when it comes to Steampunk buildings: Uncle Bert has noted the thread is only meant to show existing buildings,  not buildings that have been demolished or lost to time. I don't quite agree with that definition (which we'd need to talk about to Mr. Julius Croft, the OP to settle), but I'm open to an all inclusive thread on Steampunk buildings.

The other is an architectural off topic thread. I've started an "ugly buildingds thread," which is chugging along, but given we have at least one architect in the forum and a few tradesmen, I've been meaning to start a contemporary architectural thread. It might be useful for Steampunk abode renovations, national/regional regulation, comparative trans Atlantic and trans Pacific architectural discussion, etc.
