Weird Art (for Weird People)

Weird art is where imagination runs wild, and rules politely excuse themselves. This community celebrates the bold, the bizarre, the tender, the delightfully unhinged.

If it’s strange, soulful, handmade, and human, it belongs here. All weird art is welcome… as long as it’s not AI-generated.

I want a game with this kind of aesthetic that isn't Scorn.

Looks like we go to the same dentist

[–] BazaarMonk@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

haha totally!

I love it. What's your process? Is it graphite with a fixative and then pen? I'd be keen on a pen recommendation that doesn't crap out with too much stippling, especially over powdery mediums.

[–] BazaarMonk@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for the love! I use mechanical pencils, with leads HB to 8B. The stippling look actually comes from the paper which has a bit of tooth to it, giving it a rough feeling. For pencils I use Pentel Orenz and Staedtler.

Oh that's just 8B and not pen? Nice. The lack of shine fooled me; either that's a good photo or I need to try some branded 8B. Thanks for the recommendations!

You're very welcome! Have fun on the drawing

Do you have a higher resolution reproduction?

[–] BazaarMonk@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I do, but I tend not to share them online due to a factor of things from art theft to AI scraping.
