In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Cursed blade.

Oh yeah I get that tracing no, but making a study in a portfolio is okay. As long as you cite the original work and then whoever sees it can determine if they think it's plagiarism. It's a grey area and up to interpretation. But showing off a tracing is sketchy.

Oh in a portfolio I think that's acceptable. Cuz you're not selling the work, it's to display your ability and try to get work to get work in the future. I'd call it a study.

Oh I meant to put straight tracing commercially seems poor taste. But if it's like a reference or you change it in some way, I think it is acceptable. And I think under fair use that's the law in the US. But it's complicated and mostly vibes based.

It's a valid learning exercise. Artists have always done studies of other artists work. Straight tracing feels in poor taste, but redrawing in your style. Like interpreting the work through your artistic vision I think is cool.

A diver in vintage diving suit beset by 3 sirens, the divers posture says they're shocked. The mermaids intentions are dubious.

Oops I forgot to post. MERMAIDS

It's still #mermay right?
Work in progress.

A wizard in a dingy robe in front of the silhouette of a smoking landscape. In one hand he holds a rough hewn short sword in the other he hold his arcane focus. Some small mutated abomination tears in its eyes. The bottom panels he squeezes the creature to draw out it's power.

Magic focus.

Three deathwatch spaceMarines, climbing in a gross flesh hole following a tyranid ripperswarm at the bottom of the frame. Warhammer 40k

"GET IN THAT BUGS HOLE BROTHERS."

QTP with powerful women

A female slaanesh chaos corrupted warrior, wearing scavenged space Marine armor and welding a power maul. Savona from the fabius bile trilogy

I was reading the fabius bile trilogy. I love it and I've really enjoyed Savona.

A biomechanical figure clad in red, crouches over a landscape of metal and pulsing flesh. A second figure can be seen behind. Wreckage from some great machine.

I was trying not to use black as an exercise

A pair of armored smoking figures in a cape over looking a landscape of flesh and metal.

Colors wip.

Cultists surrounding a naked goat headed woman casting magic.

I figure I'll give bluesky a try. Might motivate me to start drawing more often.

MOLE RAT.
and a sketch of the original monster I was gonna use that I still like but didn't think he fit anymore.
