Artist Spew Warnings - cartoons by pronker (edited July 17. 2022)

I love what you've done with this one.

Best of luck for the challenge!

 

This is Unintentional Pop Art, which resulted from 1. downloading from deviantArt a template for celebrating their 19th birthday, 2. coloring it after drawing on it in Photos in a fairly mundane style, penguins and background being white with black used for lineart and colors used in Photos, too, 3. clicked "save copy" and ... then ... BLAMMO! White background, white penguins reversed, except for their black feathers, which turned gray. Kitty and the dA mascot, Fella, stayed the way I colored them. 4. Piece shows where I erased overcoloring marks. I'm at a loss to explain first, why this occurred, and next, why I didn't get an original to at least try again with. The only file is this one in Downloads. :/ Any ideas as to why or how to keep it from happening again greatly appreciated!

EAD 082219: Per the ever-gracious and helpful Corellian_Outsider, "Since it is PNG, its definitely the Alpha channel of the PNG acting up when the file was converted to JPEG."

 

This is a chibi saola from deviantArt's contest to win a Wacom tablet, which concluded July 14th: "Draw An Animal You'd Like To Befriend." Crayons and colored pencils on white stiff board. (There is nothing below the drawing, do not look behind the curtain! Move along, nothing to see here!)

 

WIP. After obtaining this oil or acrylic *I would like to know how to tell the difference* in an auction featuring the painting I really wanted and which now hangs on the wall, it seemed like this extra one ... needs penguins. The plan is to add them diving into the water, which, after wrestling with perspective, seems effective if the four POM birds swing in on ropes or dive from the upper third of this painting, so as not to obscure the subject lake and mountains. There are two figures fishing from the outcropping at bottom middle if you look closely and the photo shows the painting as a bit darker than it actually is. The blues and browns are still muted, however. Any advice welcomed.

Another question is how to clean this because it's slightly dusty. One online hint is to rub bread on it to absorb detritus and another is to rub it with spit, ew.

 

Thanks for replying - yes, a mod replied with the 'looks rubbery' comment standing out. I did this, and yes, it looks acrylic. I'm cleaning it next.

 

For tumblr's #2023Madaparty, I 'improved' the thrift store painting, adding acrylic Penguins of Madagascar characters in the foreground over acrylic original landscape. *sigh* Photobucket no longer hosts free accounts, and LiveJournal seems to have changed its procedures re uploading, so here goes ("open image in new tab" works, I'm open to other suggestions):
