Latest progress on the Hulkling and Wiccan commission, Teddy's skin and wings finally have their warm green tones in. Still some color and value adjustments to come, but the foundation is essentially complete! #oilpainting #youngavengers #fanart #prideart #workinprogress

Big glazing session on the Hulkling and Wiccan commission, pushed Teddy's wings and skin toward their characteristic green with some transparent layers. He's finally starting to read as Hulkling! #oilpainting #youngavengers #fanart #wip

Started on the rook in Radiant Zenith this weekend. Trying out some new-to-me paints on this one, including a vine black that's been really lovely to work with; it somehow has more personality and is more transparent than the blacks I reached for in the past. Yes, I'll be glazing his eye eventually.

Hulkling's sword finally got blocked in this session; Zinc White base, Cerulean Blue text, and that cool glow painted in as straight a line as I could manage by hand with a rigger brush. I've been painting a LOT of straight lines lately! #oilpainting #commission #youngavengers #fanart #prideart

Snuck in an extra session to get Billy's flowing cape blocked in. I've been looking forward to painting this since I started the piece, it's so beautifully expressive! #oilpainting #commission #youngavengers #fanart #workinprogress #prideart

HAPPY PRIDE ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Session 6 on the #Hulkling + #Wiccan commission - Billy finally has a face! #oilpainting #youngavengers #fanart #workinprogress #prideart

After a rougher week, I spent an 1.5hrs just zoning out and painting happy little trees into the background of Radiant Zenith. All those Bob Ross classes I teach at the local paint-and-sip studio are paying off in my personal work now! #oilpainting #trees #landscape #workinprogress #bobross

What’s your favorite fictional currency? Mine is Moolah from Oddworld.

Base of Wiccan's bodysuit and the script on Hulkling's sword went in this session. The script is pretty much straight cerulean for now, but it'll get a translucent white pass to soften it later. Also finished the rest of Teddy's foundation layer #oilpainting #commission #youngavengers #fanart #wip

Mourning dove, take me home- #birdart #illustration #dove

Session 4 overview on the Hulkling and Wiccan commission. Teddy is almost done, next up is finishing his hair and a few last details before moving to Billy, who is very patiently waiting his turn with the paintbrush. #oilpainting #painting #youngavengers #fanart #prideart #workinprogress #wip

Back on the #Hulkling and #Wiccan commission after going on a trip. The magenta accents are in and Teddy's bodysuit is nearly complete. The costume is finally starting to look more cohesive now that all the basic parts are laid in. #oilpainting #fanart #workinprogress #wip #prideart

Overview of the current state of Radiant Zenith. Suffered through the sky gradient, but I think we're getting somewhere. Almost done with the birds' initial rough-in. #oilpainting #nightsky #corvids #astronomyart #workinprogress #wip

I was given the honor of doing this special watercolor commission for Mother's Day. It's based on the last photo taken of the small dog who looked for the bigger dog for comfort in her last days when previously she didn't like him. I put a lot of love into this piece & happy with how it came out.

The #rook and #crow are starting to find themselves. Still in the underpainting stage but I'm honestly fond of this stage. So much potential! Crow still needs her head finished, but it's coming together! #oilpainting #corvids #workinprogress #wip #painting

Clip from my #Twitch stream, Chicken decided to grace Chat with his presence 💙 #cockatiel #artstreamer #artontwitch #oilpainting #painting

New personal painting started, I've come back to painting birds and space! Session one, I'm currently calling this 'Radiant Zenith' for now. Trying metal leaf in this painting, so it's also a bit experimental. 🎨 Oil and metal leaf on canvas #oilpainting #workinprogress #wip

Star Queen M16. This one was inspired by the Messier 16 #EagleNebula (also known as Star Queen) and painted in the #Hubble Palette, a false-color system used in Hubble images to show different gases. 18x24, oil on birch #spaceart #cosmos #oilpainting #astronomyart #scienceart

Session 3 overview on the Hulkling and Wiccan commission. Things are feeling a bit more balanced now that Hulkling's bodysuit has some visual weight to it. Wiccan is patiently waiting his turn. 🎨 Oil on canvas | Commission #oilpainting #commission #youngavengers #fanart #prideart #wip

Session 3 on the Hulkling and Wiccan commission. That "black" bodysuit is actually a deep transparent mix of Payne's Grey and Rose Madder Pale. The highlights are just getting started and I'm already really happy with where it's going. #oilpainting #commission #youngavengers #fanart #wip #prideart

Easy-going morning. Spent some time on the balcony with a mug of coffee, drawing my neighbor's dog.

Overview of the second session on this #commission, #Hulkling and #Wiccan with a Progress Pride flag. Background is mostly blocked in, and started blocking in the underpainting. Figures still need a lot of love but the composition is coming along! #oilpainting #youngavengers #fanart #prideart #wip

Details from my first Patreon patron's #commission, working out Hulkling's underpainting with some beautiful cerulean blue. So much canvas left to fill but I'm already getting excited to glaze! 🎨 Oil on canvas | Commission #oilpainting #painting #youngavengers #fanart #prideart #workinprogress #wip

The first session of this commissioned #painting of #Hulkling and #Wiccan! I think it's off to a good start so far, have a feeling this one is going to be gorgeous when it's done! #oilpainting #fanart #marvel

man, if it's the last cool thing the world did, it sure was cool

Detail shots from the last stream, starting a new commissioned painting! #oilpainting #painting #fanart

A pet portrait for my sister of her darling #cockatiels, Cinder and Ash. My precious, sweet little birdy nephews 🥰 My sister loves Kirby, so I wanted the #painting to have a #Kirby theme in it's color and starry decoration! #cockatiel #petportrait #oilpainting #painting #artstreamer #artontwitch

#DarkSouls Moon Phase.

Cetus the Sea Monster In the myth, this monster was going to eat Andromeda. But we know now that sea monsters were probably just whales. So here's a blue whale claiming the constellation. 18"x24", oil on birch #whale #bluewhale #cetus #spaceart #cosmos #mythology #oilpainting

At last, Oil Drum Alley from #DonkeyKongCountry is finally complete! This was a very technically challenging piece for me and I learned so much throughout the process! #retrogames #fanart #donkeykong #dkc #snes #oilpainting #painting #artontwitch #artstreamer #nintendo

Messing around with a value study of a cool skull drawing I found. Always good to stretch a bit and get some practice in! #skull #study #wip #oilpainting #painting

Finishing the #DonkeyKongCountry oil #painting tonight! Come hang out with me in my studio on #Twitch! twitch.tv/amaitae #artstreamer #artontwitch #oilpainting #fanart

Session 6 wrapped with the painting feeling very close to being done! Lots of adjustments made with color temp in the foreground, on #DK and Diddy, and details were added to the background and oil drum. I'll likely be wrapping this up next studio stream! #oilpainting #painting #fanart #retrogames

Detail shots after session 6, added some more pipes in the background and oil drum, as well as putting in more warmth from the flames on DK, Diddy, and the foreground. I'll likely be wrapping this piece up next time, live on Twitch! #artstreamer #artontwitch #oilpainting #fanart #twitch

End of Session 5 progress. Getting warmer as that oil drum lights up the scene! Still got a little ways to go but we're most of the way there. Come and hang out in the studio sometime on Twitch! #oilpainting #fanart #donkeykong #donkeykongcountry #gameart #classicgames #painting #twitchpainter

Detail shot from stream session 5 on the #DKC Oil Drum Alley painting. The fire is really glowing now, with warm light cast on the floor and surrounding pipes. #oilpainting #fanart #donkeykong #donkeykongcountry #workinprogress #gameart #classicgames #painting

Letting Go. One of my first #corvid + #cosmos pieces. Loosely based on the #Corvus constellation - saw a photo of a #raven throwing its head back to the sky and felt inspired. Still one of my favorites. 11x14, oil on wood #ravenart #oilpainting #art

Memorial piece for a long-time client's kitty. Sweet girl. Oval format, oil on canvas, 6"x8". #petportrait #oilpainting #petmemorial #catpainting #animalart #petloss #tabbycat #traditionalart #realism #cats

End of the second glazing session. A lot of local color was added especially to #DK and Diddy, and the introduction of the warm light from the oil drum fire is starting to make this painting feel more alive. I'm excited to see where it goes! #oilpainting #fanart #donkeykong #donkeykongcountry #snes

This was my first memorial portrait of a person. Someone taken far too soon. There is a lot more weight behind getting it right, to honor him, and to capture him the way others remember. I hope I did right by you. Rest easy, Tyler
