Ah I see, yeah I absolutely focus on composition and and layers layers to get there and like to build layers and layers within! Funny though to think of it as intentional, since so much of it is by feeling and instinct - but I think I see what you mean and thanks very much!

More first steps from the RPG prototype, pencils and watercolor for the sake of it; to learn a new medium and meditate. I enjoy exploring the potentials of existing art and I realized if I take some of the furniture apart I could build floors and walls and stairs and more ...

Choose wisely: 1. a plant shop with the perfect amount of light, or 2. a potion shop with a desperate need for shelving

more green, how nice to explore the potential of things, rather than dive head first into designing a thing.

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art
