She/they. Always a gremlin, sometimes an artist.

David Hockney (British, born 1937)

[officerofmonkeyproblems]

This is most definitely NOT a painting by David Hockney. It's by Sally Ann Fitter.

[uhhhhmandart]

I agree that this is NOT Hockney and Sally Ann Fitter is MUCH closer but doesn't feel quite right either -- she never paints birds and doesn't have so much depth or realism. This doesn't have her collage look. Sadly, I'm beginning to lean toward AI.

Blossoming Chestnut Branches, May, 1890. Vincent van Gogh. Oil on canvas.

I am quite confident that that's upside down.

The other day I was surfing the internet and I found this specialized painting colour wheel, it shows how real paint colours relate to each other. 

Outside: the purest/brightest colours.

Inside: naturally muted or earthy colors, like browns and ochres.

The Center: dark neutral tones used for mixing shadows.

The Lines: the lines connect colors that are opposites, if you mix them you neutralize the tone creating clean grays or browns instead of muddy puddles.

I want to share this with you because I think it is really illustrative!

[fontseeker]

Hi, HUGE fan of your blog. I've had these pieces downloaded forever as design inspiration and was curious about these fonts? I think this first one has a modified version of flintstone condensed normal? unsure the slimmer one.

and for this one I can't tell if the central logo is entirely handwritten.

thank you for all the work that you do!

The first one is in Badloc Bevel (1989) [Fonts In Use · Identifont]. ("Flintstone" is just a pirate copy of Badloc.)

The second one does look handwritten.

This is the same artist who made Tumblr-famous sculpture "Stress" (the one with two huge concrete blocks joined by interlocked bronze teeth that appear to be endlessly grinding).

The work above is titled "Isla (See-Escape)"

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

or for full on fight sequences

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

or this

or this

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.  

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged:  https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

[brainmuncher]

I have been following her for years on deviantart.

Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.

This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)

[anstarwar]

Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support!  I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon.  If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!

[cacodaemonia]

Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.

[thatdisasterauthor]

Just so everyone knows, she recently stopped using the name SenshiStock and switched to AdorkaStock! All her links and socials have switched to that. Also she has a TikTok of her doing the poses live, which is stupid useful because you can pause it at any point in the pose for just the right reference.
