Share your artwork v. BL's got talent

Hm, there is a female body in a dress, I wonder if I can detect something in the second one too? The first reminds me a little bit of the rough sketches of Alexander Ross..

It is more like a therapeutic thing for me. I start painting and see what comes out... I don't consider myself as a good painter/artist. I did get these works in an exposition a few months ago.

The first drawing is an attempt at summarizing for myself what i learned on a quest for some answers wich i needed to go on with my life. So it would not get lost in wordplay, doubt or the opinion of others.

The second i made to cope with the frustration and anger when my dog was killed by a car accident.

These events led to the decision to return, stop torturing my mind and kick some bad habits wich resulted in psychosis. The female figure symbolizes my spiritual guide/ protector who leads me out off this chaos.

Don't know if this makes sense 😅

i'll see if i can digg up a few more...

Great stuff Tumaj, you're talented. :)

I haven't made art in a while... I have done some photography I'm happy with recently that I consider art. I may take some photos of some of my old paintings I didn't post in here before.

(Hidden because they're not actually my "art")
NSFW:

Here is one of the last things I did when I was still making and selling art, before I started playing music again instead. It's an abstract acrylic painting of mine on a block of wood, with a glass bowl of water on top, and I rippled the surface and photographed the art through the water.

Here are a couple of detail; sections of some of my acrylic paintings. They are sections that are just a few inches wide, zoomed in:

And here is a glass of water when stomping on the ground next to it:

A follow-up from my previous post... here are some more acrylic paintings. I used to sell my art, before I rediscovered music. Haven't done any paintings for a few years.

"Dark Hill"

I've got so many more, but those are the photos I could find on my imgur account
 


Only one I was able to save from the time I used to make stuff like this. Any of you Photoshop Maestros know how to unblur the top part? Can't seem to grasp that filter thing on PS.

Here are some I haven't posted before of mine.

This one is called "Humanity". it was my initial foray into painting as an adult, I used household objects like pen caps and clips to stamp shapes:

Next, I discovered by accident a marbling technique that produces intense levels of detail through fluid dynamics. And combined that with various other ideas:

"Tractor Beam"

"Water Cells"

"Suspension"

After that I developed some techniques for making the rest of my stuff, involving using putty knives to make blended textures, like these:

"Ripples"

"Rainbow Falls"

"Node"

"Negative Sun"

"Down Below"

I didn't want to repost any previous ones. There are some close-up detail areas of the marbling texture in a post a little bit earlier in this thread (but on this same page). Well here are two:
