"Annihilation - The Bear (version 2)"

Digital collage made in GIMP. Inspired by the bear(-creature) from the movie adaptation of "Annihilation" by Jeff Vandermeer. Made with stock images from pexels.com.

This is, in fact, not the same image I posted before; the photo for the bear is a different one. Very similar though. I wanted to do a more close-up version of the creature and experimented a bit by adding color to the eye. I really like how eerie it looks, and how well the images fit.

Getting a new game announced by Garage Heathen AND a new TOV(-related) video by Kane Pixels all within the span of like 24-36 hours is *wild* in the best way.

Patterns made in GIMP, 2 of which are PNGs, with a screenshot from the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen. This time it is the character of Michael "Mike" Graves.

A little gift for @tanyakennedy1899 who encouraged me to make more character patterns. I hope you like it! Thank you (and everyone else in the Who's Lila? community!) for reblogging my fanart, it helps to keep me motivated and make more. <3

I have just realised that the characters with shorter hair and without hats will be the easiest to make to make patterns out of lol. RIP to the girls, we'll see if I can figure out something for them.

(Also I had no idea what background to use this one, so I chose some more neutral ones. In case of Will (or Lila-as-Will), using the red one made sense because of a certain scene in the game, but less so with Mike. I am open to ideas!)

"The Flower Giant"

[sources: x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x ]

Digital collage made in GIMP with a picture from the Rolling Giant Archive page and various free flower stock images from pexels.com and unsplash. The Rolling Giant aka Julien Reverchon statue was made by Kevin Obregon.

(Also, yes, the background is made of forget-me-nots. They not only fit the sky color but tie in nicely with 'The Oldest View' and its themes.)

Further thoughts below the cut:

So considering the Giant has flower hands and is based on a botanist (Julien Reverchon), it makes sense I eventually got the idea to recreate the Giant in a flower collage style. While this piece is not quite the end result I was going for, it is a great first step/attempt in my opinion. Maybe one day I will try again.

I actually kept the base of the Giant and overlaid it with different flowers, sometimes recolored them, and then also kept the original image and added some shadows/highlights to keep the contours of the Giant.

Also, on a personal note, I think the statue looks even more uncanny now than it originally did. Which to me is a feature, not a bug, hehe.

"Eyes (Dithered)" (Stamps)

[sources: x / x / x / x / x ]

5 digital stamps in two different dithering styles made in GIMP. Made with free stock images from pexels.com. This set focuses on eyes and uses Bayer and Floyd-Steinberg style dithering. The stamp borders are self-made/my own.

Further thoughts below the cut:

It seems I am terribly indecisive; not only do I make variations of the artpieces I make, but sometimes I cannot decide on a style for pieces either. I liked both the Floyd-Steinberg and Bayer dithering for these pieces, so I decided to make a batch with both. I am curious if anyone has a preference?

Fun and relatively quick to make, these with the previous ones also helped me figure out some tricks using templates with borders in GIMP. I like how these came out.

Any suggestions for other stamps I could be making?
