Bert's Blog

Just a blog about my stuff...art...toys I've painted...and just general nonsense. :)

It's been years since I painted a miniature. Back then it was just dry brushing and washes (was there even internet back then?). I watched a couple of videos like @ageofsquidmar and tried to apply some of the newer techniques. I didn't want to go edge highlight crazy but I think it could use a bit more. It's an ok start but maybe I'm just tired of looking at Skeletor pics. #skeletor #mastersoftheuniverse #motu #warhammer40k (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO37YeiHPIv/?igshid=6p08t3cxpe9

Trying a different technique. Has some good and bad but not sure I like it. #digibert #procreate #綺麗 (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COFVIvpnsdF/?igshid=508sv9oyje77

That sad 80’s, leather jacket wearing, depressed kid. You’d be sad too if you always had to take care of 7 old men. #drawoffshow #digibert #procreate #snowwhite #depressed80schild #thesmiths #lastnightidreamtthatsomebodylovedme (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNv6gkIHjiB/?igshid=31frzgvbjo5i

Here's a real throwback. I bet a lot of the people I went to High School with didn't even know I had entered a contest (I believe our art teacher, Carol Van Amers my have told me about this contest). I don't even remember what I bought with the prize money. I wonder if anyone noticed that I put my initials on the piece. #tbt #throwbackthursday #stpatrickshighschool (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNtgpnon4jV/?igshid=1jtemku5c3w0d

Had this finished weeks ago, then Sharla and Maro are reunited a few days ago so I had to add the furry boy somehow. It’s not ideal cause it does look like it was just added on but that cat came out looking pretty good (animals are tough to draw). This was from an old video which will tell you how long I’ve been watching Sharla’s channel. #sharlainjapan #welcomebackmaro #heyitssharla #digibert #procreate (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNlvyfVHyiu/?igshid=chsrj1pkjmwm

I just started following @drawoffshow and they do a “redraw...” challenge every week. Never knew about it but now I do. That means more drawing for me! I might go back and do the other challenges for the hell of it. #drawoffshow #digibert #procreate #frankenstein #punkrocker #nin #hurt https://www.instagram.com/p/CNYK7O1nVha/?igshid=70wb8yunez6p

Brought back an old illustration I did for a show in Florida. It’s a made up movie called “Attack of the Crab Coconut King”. I redid parts of it. #fakemovieposter #coconutcrab #digibert #procreate (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTyVr3nFjx/?igshid=xcd1y0kce7hx

My tribute to the Queen of the Ring, Sabine Schmitz, the fastest taxi driver in the world. She obviously more than just a driver of a Ring Taxi, but you’ll have to look that up. I am sad that I will never get to ride Nurburgring in her taxi.

Trying a different brush for this. It came out a bit rougher than usual (bit more texture) #terracehouse #amikomuro #komuroami #digibert #procreate (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnv82qHX1c/?igshid=q98u9tase7yq

To the nicest man I’ve never met (I wish I could have), you now have your very own owl wings. To your wonderful husband, Carl, I hope this puts a smile to your face. I used a pic on your IG and did some editing, in case you were wondering. (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMOd3-Wn8I5/?igshid=1plvxnse3urgh

I always liked this style, what @philnoto calls “retro paperback cover” but I always like having my lines be kind of rough. Still need a lot of work and going digital helps a lot (I don’t have to wait for paint to dry, for one). #edmeasuicide #suicidegirls #suicidegirlsitaly #edmeasg #procreate #retropaperbackart #retropaperback #digibert #longwaytogo (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMHGBHWHNsl/?igshid=1bl0or8tq922e
