There is some beautiful wrist and ankle negative-space or contrast in the first two images!Thanks and congratulations to your models!
The old-world style drapery and wrinkles,including bunching or ties,could also be valuable to a good number of artists.
Thank you for your collective work,as always!
You have enviously even sewing! I can easily speak for when/if you address sewing on bands or supports in medieval or monastic bindings, that even sewing really is an achievement.
The bands or cords tend to compress in ways that make evenness difficult to accomplish or adjust - or so I've found.
@natsunenuko.bsky.social, if I recall, this appeals to your interests, yes?
Plenty of others, surely, would benefit from the rendering and expressiveness. Perhaps a touch of gladness amid unsure times!
Your works are always a treat in many ways, and the saturation here, that glow of magenta from and otherwise blue pallette, is a good impact - yet alone one that calls on the anomalous 'glow' mechanic seen in various Deltarune spaces.
Other visuals call to the strange trees and their crimson aura.
A sketch of Gaster's face, from the corner of a Strathmore toned paper sketchbook. You can see the top of a sternum and ribcage between the extended collar of his jacket.
A fast 8cm sketch of Gaster from a corner of my Strathmore toned book. Working with light or forms seems to function better on a medium ground; conte, white and black ink, watercolor, marker.
I continually want to give him a more creature-like interpretation, an amorphousness suits him.
#Gaster
Ah, one of the many types of "The Artist's Curse." Whatever we enjoy will inevitably go out of production - I do wish that inkmaking were more clear, and less of a technical hassle, that way we could at least produce our own.
I often have to gauge how well unclogging cleaners will save pens, aye.
I've been brushing-on P.H. Martin's Bleed Proof White since I hadn't picked up their pen white, but I was debating on it. It's good to to see some coverage of it in action, since I have never made use of a white ink in a pen before.
Mostly I've been scratching around with conte, at peril of pens.
For a second I was going to ask if that was Strathmore toned-tan paper
I have a sketchbook I should use more for practice works (now that life lets me breathe a touch and have time).Perhaps you could offer advice on quality white ink or dry media?
Your textured, organic works are always inspiring!
The image of a man. Gaster in a relief-type of sculpture made of plasticine, where the surrounding plate-fill is pigmented.
I haven't made any sculpture in a while, so here is an 'expression plate' made with plasticine, which I can morph or change relatively easily later on.
Despite Gaster's relatively simple facial structure, I want to incorporate an organic elegance
11 cm for the figure proper.

With all of the stress, I need more art time and exercises.
I haven't done any sculpting for a while, and I was wondering if an 'expression plate' of plasticine would work. For all of his facial minimalism, Gaster's features (as I see them) are surprisingly difficult to render properly at angles.
Now that you mention it, and if my reference-radar is working correctly, most of the hues and tones in those images could make a convincing Earl of Lemon painting to add to the wall while C0nc0rd waits.
(That aside, the entomological banter makes my day! Thank you for the bit of light humour.)
Eesh. I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know how much treatment has advanced (or not).
As someone who must be careful and is prone to both contact dermatitis and eczema (and many cases on the hands), you have my salute through knowing what it is like to deal with painfully distracting conditions.
The face of someone looking back at sudden events. Gaster, seemingly hunched forward, looking at something. His jacket or coat is open, and brushed ink is all around him.
A practice sketch of Gaster, started with an ink wash - a technique I haven't attempted before. This, in addition to watercolour, general ink, and mild graphite, plus white ink.
I have the sense that he was looking back at an unknown event, or perhaps rising from it.
(I need to study cloth more.)
This is a special kind of stress... One that I hope you will have dissipated as soon as possible.
I swear this is some form of supernatural humour-by-proximity.
Normally we'd plan to plant more vegetables for the summer, but with the way the world is going, we're aiming for more high-bulk general foods... Namely humble mr. aloo.
Some time I, too, will be in the grip of the potato gyre.
There is definitely a beautiful aspect to a modified or rebound book. I am just as guilty of trying to find a type of categorization of books and journals which feels right... After all, the range of various books can either be consolidated or solidified.
I plan to rebind 3 journals into a tome.
We also tend not to pay attention to times of harvest, at large. Oxalates and certain aspects of a plant are long-term toxic, or in the case of oxalates, actually have an anti-nutrient-absorption effect.
So on, so forth, this root or that leaf, and only at this time of year
(Most weeds are edible)
When it comes to questionable foods, I am of the view that we tend to underestimate the motive power of literal starvation.
We are largely shielded from famine, disease, crops failing to thrive.
Foods like birch bark bread, poplar syrup, edible cambuim, others, take immense effort - still food!
Thankfully we walked back to one that still works. I'd sooner not be cursed by whatever cloth I don. All of it makes me want to make a joke about mixed cloth.
That aside,said past eczema arose during a high-stress point in life. I count my blessings that it hasn't returned these days...
As someone with past eczemic issues (it being the main cause of why I cannot have Nice Things™), this immediately makes me feel for your difficulty.
... Or, that one time that trying a new sensitive-skin type of laundry soap also resulted in hives everywhere, for weeks. Good times.
私もよく同じことを考えます！だからこそ、あの医師の成し遂げたことに深く感動したのです。それは、大変な苦難の時代、あるいはそうした困難を乗り越えてきた社会や文化の中で達成された、比類なき偉業でした。
こうした状況下で、いかにして天才が生まれるのでしょうか？実に興味深い問いです！
It is a habit of mine, nigh a mild background compulsion, to have an ear out for any music or themes that evoke Gaster's melody - including in tones similar enough, or in slower or shorter tempo or tone.
One such is this: foreboding vocals and background industry.

To my fellow readers, and as a longtime enthusiast of plain, printed literature, who may be unaware.
This also unfortunately slots right into planned obsolescence, which I also potently dislike. The soul of sentiment is written in the marks of age, use, travel, and repair.
I cannot recall the proper quote, but it goes to the end of:
"I don't trust anyone that is not at least a little openly stressed right now."
私にとってこれは、ゲーム『テラニグマ』のあるシーンを思い出させます。南極の神秘的な砂漠で、大きな変貌が起こるシーンです。
（トビー・フォックスは他にも様々なゲームやアート作品にオマージュを捧げています。このゲームはスクウェア・エニックスのタイトルで、『ガイア幻想紀』や『ソウルブレイダー』といったタイトルも言及されています。）
I will remove this later on, but for the moment, I was inspired to share, for what it matters.
Sometimes getting out of my walled-off comfort zone is good, and throwing something into the void of digital space seems right.
