"Hell Island" is a pretty good title.

Round 1, Match 98 — Easter vs. Adventure Pulp

Easter is a seasonal aesthetic depicting the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Right after Christmas, it is the most important holiday in the Christian calendar. Also according to Christian tradition, Easter is associated with the end of Lent. Easter traditions began to flourish with commercialization and globalization, while the Christian aspects were sidelined. Easter aesthetics are characterized by bright, pastel colors, which most often appear in Easter eggs. Yellow, white and green are also common colors that appears. Purple, red and orange are less common.Common visual elements include Easter eggs, bunnies, chickens, lambs, bread, and salt.

Adventure Pulp is an aesthetic that romanticizes the thrilling tales of exploration and discovery found in early 20th-century pulp magazines and film serials. The aesthetic is defined by its focus on rugged adventurers exploring exotic, remote locations in search of lost artifacts and ancient secrets. It combines a sense of historical scholasticism with daring action, all filtered through a nostalgic, pre-digital lens. While its roots are in the 1930s and 40s, the aesthetic was revitalized and codified for modern audiences by the Indiana Jones franchise, which remains its most iconic touchstone. The Adventure Pulp aesthetic is defined by a distinct combination of environment and attire that evokes a sense of bygone exploration. The visual palette is warm and earthy, dominated by the browns of leather and dust, the khaki and olive drab of practical clothing, and the rich ochres of desert landscapes. Settings are central to the aesthetic, typically featuring sun-scorched Egyptian deserts dotted with ancient ruins, overgrown and humid jungles that hide forgotten temples, or the dimly lit, cluttered offices of a university professor, filled with artifacts, books, and old maps. The technology is from a dieselpunk-era, with prop planes, steamships, and vintage off-road vehicles being the primary modes of transport.

The aesthetics study - Adventure Pulp (If you've been following the study, this one is on the topic of doodling.)

I started by drawing the figure first, without all the random stuff. I started with drawing the figure (which, a few months ago I would've been super happy with) and as I continued my head started screaming stuff like, the face is weird, the hands are off, it doesn't look like the references etc. You can pivot the drawing and start doodling. Lower the stakes, make it fun. -Needing- it to be good is just going to make you want to quit. Those are the signals of perfectionism, it happens whenever your eyes level up and you hands can't keep up. Similarly, not listening to those signals at all is just going to slow your progress. Make a note "anatomy + gesture", practice and then try again on something else. Sometimes it's about looking back sometimes, it's very easy to get caught up in this, progression loop and start judging your own skill based on what's immediately in front of you. Some progression isn't measurable visibly. This picture took me like, an hour or something maybe, 2? idk point is, a few months ago I was drawing simpler figures in 3 times the time and not be able to draw anything else for the rest of the day. That's the stuff no one can measure for you, but it's still progress, and that's worth celebrating. Not all progress in art is to do with drawing, or the end pretty picture, you're not failing if you don't see the shifts every time, but maybe you build up enough invisible progress that later, when you sit down to challenge yourself, suddenly it feels a lot easier, heck, even possible to do. So, doodle more, it'll makes the journey more fun.
