The Supplemental Tumblr blog of Radiant Grey.

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. Here is where I post art that my wife and I create. I do the heavy art lifting and she gives me the occasional solid gold idea to make into a print. We travel the country going to as many conventions as we can. At the time of this writing (May 2014), We're currently prepping to drop my day job in lieu of taking on the art making con hopping lifestyle full time. Occasionally I will remember to post here, but I'm learning that if you want something to be seen on the internet, then you're better off letting someone take a camera-phone pic of it in real life and then letting popular people spread it around online. If you're really lucky, you might get credit for it, too! ^_^

Winter at Kaer Morhen 3rd in the line of the Netflix Witcher commission series :) I used reference for Henry Cavill’s smile to get it just right, and it’s definitely wild seeing that expression on Geralt XD #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #commissions #witcher #netflix #geralt #jaskier #yennifer #winter #kaer morhen https://www.instagram.com/p/CKuJaAsj67I/?igshid=g65gro63exa

Another Ghibli themed picture :) a mom and daughter modeled after Kiki’s Delivery Service! I’m told that she liked it so much that she kept clutching the photo frame while opening other presents on Christmas day XD Awesome! #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #commissions #cute #wholesome #studioghibli #miyazaki #kikisdeliveryservice #familyportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWoVebjaiL/?igshid=1iwfrbm4pf6k3

Finally back after Holiday commissions have been settled! So let’s take a look at what I’ve been up to :) I had a couple of jobs that had me doing family portraits in the Studio Ghibli style! Let me just say that I love doing this and I should advertise it harder XD  @lmkreher and @scottykares with their super cozy fam are featured here :) #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #commissionsopen #studioghibli #miyazaki #totoro #familyportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUCuDOjKLh/?igshid=1u4h4d3aynfic

It’s been so long since I’ve posted! Thanks to everyone that sticks with me :) I found a photo of my wife @fatedshadows from about 1995 with her pet iguana sitting on her head. The 90s look combined with that stoic expression stuck with me and I’ve been wanting to draw it for years! And I was able to get it done in time for her birthday today :D My patrons can look forward to progress shots, a full sized JPEG, and the timelapse video very soon :) #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #commission #originalcharacter #90s #vaporwave #synthwave #80s #retro #nostalgia #iguana #cute #patreon https://www.instagram.com/p/CH52l4fjhUU/?igshid=1lhtvs9xz7y4t

A tale of 2 Unicorn commissions :D And if you’re seeing my account for the first time, I don’t usually do horse stuff, haha! So there won’t be anymore equestrian content in the future XD #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #commission #thelastunicoron #almalthea #markie  https://www.instagram.com/p/CGtDfKdD55j/?igshid=17tqx02srmpm1

My gallery has no consistency. Its identity is manifold and formless, ever twisting and churning around a myriad of fandoms and interests. My account has space marines, witchers, wizards, and Disney princesses. Not to mention superheroes, androids, anime waifus, and even a JoJo reference. It’s a wonder that I have as many followers that I do with the kind of tonal whiplash that I put you all through O_o If you don’t mind leaving a comment, what do you come here looking for in particular? My thanks and gratitude to those that choose to stick around for my unquantifiable brand, whenever the algorithm cares to share it with you. Anyway, here’s a singing unicorn made of leaves patterned off of a hand soap from Bath and Bodyworks that I was recently commissioned to do for a client. It’s a pretty cute unicorn and I had fun doing it. #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #commission #unicorn #autumn #fall #october #leaves #cute #tired #thealgorithm #existentialcrisis https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0pFWqDPCP/?igshid=5598svwfv51o

All of Last of Us Works in one place :) This is a remixed version of a recent commission - experimented with tweaking the colors and changing out the background. May change it again or add more characters to it in the future! #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #thelastofus2 #tlou2 #outbreakday #commission #blood #ellie #abby #joelmiller #artjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CFoGU9gDJh5/?igshid=1xbxyg8if5co1

A darker version of my Doom Slayer print from 6 months ago. A darker Doom Guy for a darker time :S I got the idea when I was messing around with layer visibility. I had turned off all the green and was left with this glowing, hulkish silhouette and I was like “neat!” So I made another. #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate #photoshop  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #illustration #doomslayer #doom #doometernal #videogame #xbox #ps4 #fanart #mask https://www.instagram.com/p/CFlQyMFj5DO/?igshid=1xkr7mh59e286

Just a sketch of Tsuyu in a strapless dress of some kind that I showed to my patrons earlier -u- So my most used art program these days is Procreate on the iPad, and they just recently released an update that brought in some cool new functionality. What we have here is the same image that's been run thru some of the new filters:  The first one has chromic aberration, which gives that hazy glowing rim effect by splitting the red, blue, and green channels and offsetting them from one another ever so slightly. It reminds me of 90s anime photographed straight off the TV ^3^ I also used the new gradient map feature to lay down a mix of colors that I normally wouldn't think of :) The 2nd image is just the basic starting line art The 3rd image has some greytone values laid down, with a spark of shine added to the black void of her pupils :D And finally the 4th image is the new color halftone effect, applied to a desaturated (black and white) version of the art. Which version do you prefer? For me, they all have their charm :) #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate5 #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram  #mha #bokunohero #myheroacademia #tsuyuasui #froppy #waifu #animegirl #portrait #sketch #halftone #greytone https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdRqA4Dtnj/?igshid=hfp2a2bq0xsn

Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame in the style of Alphonse Mucha. This was fun - researching the spectrum of Mucha’s works so I could pick and choose among his design elements and plug them into this commission :) One of our favorite clients/patrons has always wanted to see Esmeralda in my style (and to my great shame, I hadn’t seen the movie until very recently) and somehow I got the idea to put an art nouveau spin on it instead of the usual straight illustration that I do. I always admired the style and always shrank away from ever trying to do it, cuz of all the geometry and tiny circle elements and whatnot. And lemme just say…..those circles made me work for it XD ha ha. They got a piece of me. I wish I could find out what makes Photoshop chug when my work gets layer/effect heavy. Cuz it doesn’t care what kind of graphics card/ram/processor you have. I can run Doom at ultra high but I can’t draw a line without stutter, ha ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯ #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #myart #art #procreate  #artoftheday #artsy #artofinstagram #gaming  #supportsmallbusiness #commission #disney #hunchbackofnotredame #esmeralda #romani #dancer #quasimodo #phoebus #goat #alphonsemucha #artnouveau #flowers https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2vxriDN15/?igshid=18v50l18jfh96

Deadpool meets Doctor Who. He wants in on that Timelord life. This was a fun commission from a few months ago!
