![[ID: A portrait of Vash, his hands are covering most of his face, his left eye marked with plant markings is visible through the fingers of his prosthetic hand. A single tear runs down the side of his cheek. Noticeable through the gaps betwen his fingers, half his face is made up of a web of vines. A branch erupts from the web, bearing dark purple geraniums with glowing blue centres. More branches and flowers frame his scarred shoulders, some burying just under the skin. The mood of the painting is ethereal but creepy./end ID]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6cacb1e8c83d755a9de66a1f87bb120d/12867161c652e1fa-80/s1280x1920/f0224a6e7852f4d353d388522bc79d453a5b05c4.jpg)

Just wanted to indulge in painting something creepy inspired by that giant plant figure in ep 12. 🌱 Image ID under the read more:
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh

In reference to never using the word ‘very’ when writing, Mark Twain said, “Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very’; Your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.” Source
None of the above.
Very old –> ancient –> She opened the door, stone scraping against heavy stone. Dust flurried in the thin light cast across the floor and settled back onto the mosaic tile unfaded by time. A man, overly stiff and stylized with round, unblinking eyes, sat astride a triangular bull and watched her take a step inside. Her flashlight moved up to the far wall and the bas relief carvings of peasants harvesting wheat, harvesting goats. Harvesting people. Their hands gripped short sickles raised over the heads that bent too far backward. She turned away for a moment, squeezing her eyes shut, then took a breath to steady herself and looked back. Her map was yellow and tattered, but it marked her route through the chamber. Somewhere inside this ruin was the artifact.
Never tell me it’s ancient. Show me instead.
(except for when you can break this rule and tell very engagingly, but until then, lean heavily on show show show show show)

The image captures the miraculous moment when the rays of sun hit a rare cloud called a pile cloud, and the angle and other subtle conditions are reflected in a divine rainbow color. (Source)
i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors
“red and green are opposites 🥰” cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a child’s finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit
ok i can’t explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like
with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing
is it too much to ask
gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that
cohesive but still contrasting
This kind of talks about color and composition
This is a bit about landscape specifically
This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones
Cohesion within compositions/lighting
"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!
This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!
Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process
With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)
thanks this is super helpful! /gen
