Then why didn't you tag him? Or repost his original post? @thomaswschaller.bsky.social

Pencil drawing of a woman standing next to a statue of Venus

Study based on a photo by @davemylesphotos.bsky.social
Had to improvise on the face, scale was too small to do the original model justice.

I'll never forget James Gurney mentioning in his book that it was "discontinued not for lack of mummies but for fear of illness". Not for lack of mummies...

You have thousands of followers, do an ounce of research before contributing to AI-fueled misinformation. This is an AI interpretation, here's the real painting:

Nice! I love geckos

Beautifully composed shot! Mind if I use this for a drawing?

Familiarly fascist rhetoric, in the same family as "lebensraum"

Looks like Cillian Murphy 😅 Intentional?

Christensen really was the perfect Anakin

Sketchbook drawing of a boy sleeping.

Random kid sleeping on the train. I feel weird drawing random people from life, so I took a photo of this kid to draw at home, but maybe in the end that's just weirder... Gotta get more practice drawing regular people somehow though.

Two sketchbook portraits of actress Ella Rubin in the movie 'Until Dawn'

Lately I feel like I'm having to re-invent my process for every portrait, but maybe I'm just out of practice.

Ella Rubin in 'Until Dawn'. Ridiculous movie, but worth it for her

The sunlight casts soft beams that stretch across the room like quiet visitors. There’s a gentle warmth in the air, the kind that doesn’t ask anything of you. It just exists, golden and still.

Nice, yeah good practice material. You even managed to make your painting look more detailed, but I like it. Really intrigued by the sculpture though, do you know the name?

Beautiful shapes and lighting. Is this from ref of an actual sculpture, or just painted to look like a sculpture?

Sketchbook drawings of Willem Dafoe in the movie 'The Hunter' (2011)

Criminally underrated Dafoe feature.
Eyes are probably a bit too big.

That too, but I don't even think it's that practically viable. I've seen some stuff about kinetic launch systems, that seems much more realistic to have one of those at every launch site.

Will never happen, just another money pit for the VCs to drool over

Bug trouble? Be glad for the lack of flowers, will save the plant energy to recover. I had another that only ever flowered, no matter what I did and it started declining from spending all its energy on flowers only. What kind do you have?

Gouache painting of a light pink Hibiscus flower

My hybrid Hibiscus finally revealed its first flowers after two years, so I had to paint it.
Gouache on cotton, 15.5x23cm.

At least mention title and artist, otherwise what's the point

Imperfect but real and genuine is always better than fake perfect. Makes for a more interesting painting subject too. Did you use a model for this or photo reference?

This your work? Beautiful. Afaik though that's always been the definition of milf, more or less

No that's called a prompter. If you tell an artist to create an image you're not the artist, the one who creates the image is. You'd just be the prompter

This ain't even a painting, and it's "influenced" you? Wtf are you on?

Traditional gouache painting of a nude woman with black hair standing in a black chrysanthemum at sunset with mountains and sea in the background

"Birth of Chrysanthis", gouache on cotton, 23x31cm.

This was a long project, and felt like an important step for me. A lot of preparation went into it, certainly by my standards, but I enjoyed this more lengthy process.

Am I the one with the dirty mind or is this the most suggestive still life I've ever seen

Artist unknown because it's AI, do better

Apart from Mamdani who does seem like a good candidate, that kind of mindset is part of why we've had weak democratic presidential candidates since 2016. "At least it isn't Trump/Cuomo" is not a good way to build a country/city
