Graphite

WOAH! The art style is so cool, it reminds me of some illustrations of books I used to have as a youngster. So beautiful and intricate. It makes me sad when I see my friend’s children’s books, because everything is cartoony and simple. Along with the lore, this is really quite an exquisite piece of art. Also, anyone who knows anything about Kami is incredible. It’s the first religion we studied in my Eastern Religions class, and I suppose I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for both the religion and the art (so intricately woven in so many eastern cultures). 

*So much* of Japanese culture and lore is profoundly beautiful.  I could easily slip into the country hills for a couple of years and not return or bring anything electronic with me.

This was a new stretch in my explorations with Graphite.  I'm in that kind of mood this past week.  If you'd like to try it, here's the formula:

[ photo-realistic accurate and ornately detailed closeup ink and graphite art portrayal with dripping wash, ]

Quite the mouthful, yes .. but *look* how Graphite danced with it all!

For the colors:

[ with a blend of gold, orange and purple highlights, swirling ornate patterns of gold filigree woven into his fur, ]

&

[ vibrantly colorful line art. intricately detailed color depth inspired by micro-fine liner art, ]

*Tasty ... yes!*   :-)

I’ve seen Graphite get used in some wildly creative ways. It’s fantastic. This fox breathes life. The tightness of the details in the fur, juxtaposed by the looseness of the washes in the background. It’s just lovely. 

Japanese folklore and religious mythology is rife with anthropomorphic and deified creatures. The kitsune (fox) recurs throughout stories in Japanese history, usually appearing as an intelligent and/or cunning being with paranormal abilities and often residing at Shinto shrines.

The kitsune are portrayed as having a deep connection with their human companions and as manifestations of a major kami (Shinto spirt) in the Japanese story of creation.

Kitsune have been a part of Japanese religious culture for as long as the culture has existed in any meaningful sense. Long before Japan came under imperial rule, it was populated by nomadic tribes whose spirit worlds were fueled by deeply held polytheistic animist beliefs.

Im so happy to hear! You deserve this so much, with beautiful art, amazing comments and just *being you* on NightCafe! You really have succeded and im so happy to be able to help you get to 2000 followers! Congratulations!! Enjoy this day and all the brilliance i hope it brings for you ❤️‍🔥💗

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for those amazing and sweet, kind words! I genuinely feel appreciated and overjoyed! Thank you so so much, your support means everything!!! Totally made my day ☺️😇

2000 followers achieved! I didn't ever think this would happen but here it is! The love and support you all show me and my art blows me away and fills my heart with such warm joy and pride in my abilities! With an auto-immune disease that keeps me from being able to do alot more exciting things like others can more safely do AND a crippling anxiety disorder that keeps me from enjoying life as much as I should be able to, life was and is hard, like I know it is for everyone. Ive been an artist using different mediums for almost 20 years but lately as ive gotten older I'd lost most of my passion and inspiration as other issues forced me to change and adapt with life, long story short discovering NC and all of you that have inspired me and shown me such kind support and appreciation have rekindled my hope and happiness in my art, even if I don't have a budget that I can devote solely to this, I will never stop creating new and amazing pieces of art as long as I can thanks to you guys 🦌

This was using the prompt "green eyeball  sitting in the open field"  

I wasn't expecting this one from a "free" use service. See I ran out of credits, and saw NC had a no credit one. I was thinking it would link me somewhere else. Anyway I played with it and got this one. I thought it better than some of the ones for credits. So here he is. #9/53
