Just got Procreate for IPad so been trying out some Stuff. I normally do traditional art so be prepared for rubbish and weird experimental whatnot until I get a handle on things and brushes

Sillustrations!!!! gonna have some Sillustrations!!!
All obnoxiousness aside (okay not all, most) you're doing a wonderful job using Procreate (that name will never not get a giggle out of my very immature self) and adapting photography into something that looks like traditional art.

Nice Sil! This looks fantastic even if it is experimental. It's always gun to play with a new medium and I feel like your skills with traditional art has transitioned quite nicely to digital.
I can't wait to see what else you create.

Thanks guys! I also believe the pup is very happy even though I got lazy about drawing his kerchief. Yes playing with new mediums is fun. This also has the bonus of being less messy, although it does require me to remember to charge stuff.
Ok next is
@Burnt Toast as you can see this is before I discovered airbrush
Where’s my recording of rest in peace toast? Huh? Huh?!?!

Lies! I am niether cool nor nice, I will not be slandered like this!
and I love this picture, it's a wonderful representation of the orginal

I love the talon ring/nail guards/whatever those are called, they look wicked, especially with the bend of the finger joints.

Love both of the new pieces I swear I've seen the Leo piece before (probably on some late night Tiktok doom scroll honestly) as Frost has said though this is an excellent representation of the original!
(ALso the whole before I found the airbrush comment made me snort my drink out my nose so Goose is goosing as gooses goose)
