Showcase Sunday: Portrait Study
Whelp, it's Sunday again and I suppose we have to get back to business here and forge ahead. I'm going to be repeating the same messages in my posts for a while so that everyone sees it, so sorry for the repetition, but in as many places as possible I want to reiterate that the future of OnChainArt is on the HIVE blockchain. If you're an artist that wants to participate in this community, that's where to do it.
I'll still be posting and curating the Steem Community, but that will only last as long as it takes me to powerdown. The OCA delegations will run out in a matter of weeks. C-Squared has also switched all curation over to HIVE, and OCD I assume will also eventually. So there are a few more weeks to get all you can out of Steem, but past that, HIVE is the future.
Not financial advice, but I would not recommend HODL'ing Steem at the moment.
Anyway, this painting is an oldie, but one I still like. Sometimes looking at your older work is a cringefest, but this one, while there are some things in my present mind that I would do differently, none of those things bother me too much.
I'm looking forward to being able to focus on building again and not having the entire future of the chain up in the air from day to day, so back to building!
See you all in the next post!

I have that all the time looking back at my own work. But even in the ones that I am embarrassed to show I think there are seeds of ideas that will someday grow into something better.
I really like the hint of sadness in her eyes.
I think one of the markers of development is when you can look back at old stuff and actually like it while still seeing how far you've developed from it XD That point for me is around 2012, stuff prior to that should never again see the light of day XD (but I keep it around for archival purposes and occasionally make myself go through it especially when I'm feeling particularly like I'm crap and will never amount to anything XD)
The hair rendering on that fringe is freaking epic.
Haha, yea there is definitely a point that is never to be seen again for me. A lot of that work was traditional so it’s easier to just throw away old sketch pads but I typically never delete digital stuff, so I still have that no mans land work, but it will never see the light of day haha.
stunning love seeing great art on here, very talented :)
