August (m)
🕑 Added 2022-08-15 08:26:35 +0000 UTCNow that I made this I just have to revisit January, to make that fit this one better. That's the problem with calendars, at least the way I look at them. They should have a certain consistency about them that gives it a, more or less, natural flow. I wouldn't go as far as having the same character in all the images be it in different seasonal situations, although if this works I could see that happening too. All paintings should have a common look in some respects though. Not that on one the character is far away and only partially visible in others in a medium close or even close shot. I see it as sort of a magazine where all content is balanced and going together well somehow.
January is too far away compared to this one. Even though it works stand alone, it might irritate me in the series. I won't have to change too much but I will do some more work on that one.
August fits the heatwave we have at the moment so in that respect it's spot on. June and July might be seaside pictures too. I'm sketching stuff to see what works and what not. I will probably do September next though. Stay tuned!
Oh, look, she has a FB approved bathing suit on for the general public π

Glorious!

Agreed! π
Bob Partridge
Outstandingly smug but with an outstanding body like that so she should be

While her bathing suit is admirable, I like her other fashion choices far better. they are more sustainable and organically sourced.

And Patreon finally fixed the replying on comments mode. Also good news, be it that it took them months

ππ» Thank you! No worries though, most will basically remain the same. I just have to work on the lady more and also on relative dimensions π

Love this! I understand what youβre saying about the January pic, but I did like the way that one conveyed a feeling of coziness with the girl by the radiator with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or cocoa, and the blizzard and snow covered house out her window. This why your work is always so awesome, you put so much thought and attention to detail in all of your art.
