I just may happen to own a tattoo machine… 😁

I did do a second one while I was there. I’ll post it soon.

Thanks! I was definitely looking at a few stave churches while I was drawing this.

Thanks!

Hmm, probably a little bit of A, little bit of B. A lot of my stuff is in a similar style, but I’m sure there are some aspects of looking at a lot of stave churches, the Nidaros Cathedral, and jagged wood/bark in the forest.

There’s two more 😁

Thanks! I don’t draw comics, though I’ve been considering it for some time. I’m not sure what they would be though — I tend to not really draw much representational things.

Could maybe do a weird abstract comic?

Thanks!

Glad you like it!

Nice! Really like this 🤘

Do it!

I don’t generally use a straightedge when drawing — I usually just freehand everything. If you look closely you’ll see a bit of wobble on the lines.

I’ll use one every now and then for some things, mainly just for borders and some guide lines.

Thanks!

Yeah, I’m on most of the things:

• Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.art/hegeezias
• Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hegeezias.bsky.social

No, I think this one is done.

That’s actually one of the harder things for me – knowing when it’s done. I rarely ever have a plan and just improvise, so it’s tough to tell when to stop. I’ve definitely overworked a bunch of these 😅

The linework I did with a brush. The stippling I did with a fountain pen + felt-tip brush pen.

Mark Kistler? If so, I loved watching that when I was a kid.

I’m also a Migadu user. Nothing but good experiences with them. Simple, solid, and straightforward.

With this alcohol-based paint it was just the easiest way to get the fine lines I wanted.

The paint would clog up a fountain pen / technical pen pretty much immediately, and refillable felt-tip pens (like for paint pens) would be thicker than I wanted.

Yeah, I’m an artist on mastodon.art. Not a huge fan their heavy moderation and the drama it creates. I’d love to switch instances, but hate that previous posts don’t travel with you.

Thanks!

I think one factor is I generally don’t use a ruler/straightedge — just freehand it. So every line has varying degrees of imperfection.
