Regarding Saving Copies of Art (IMPORTANT READ):
-
When art is downloaded and printed without compensation to the artist, it significantly impacts the artist's ability to make a living as a creator.
We can try, but we can't stop anyone from doing this if they really wanted to.
It's important to really think about what this means - if it becomes a normal practice for everyone, artists won't be able to afford to continue creating art.

Tranquil Traverse at Day
Tranquil Traverse at Day
As I set my digital brush to canvas, I envisioned a scene nestled deep within an untouched forest—a place where the only sounds are the whisper of leaves and the gentle burble of a stream. Here, I placed a solitary Rattata, a humble yet captivating character in its natural realm, embarking on a daily passage across a fallen tree.
In choosing the colors for this piece, I sought to reflect the midday tranquility of a forest bathed in light. The greens and yellows are chosen to evoke the warmth and brightness of sunlight filtering through the canopy. The purple hue of the Rattata stands in subtle distinction against the forest, intended to draw the viewer’s eye and emphasize the quiet beauty of the creature's form.
The structure of the composition, with the tree leading across the scene, is crafted to guide the viewer through the image, inviting you to traverse the forest alongside the Rattata. I paid particular attention to the textures—the roughness of the bark and the softness of the water's surface—to enrich the visual experience.
In creating the light on the water, I aimed for a delicate balance, sufficient to suggest the sparkle of daylight on the stream without disturbing the overall serenity of the piece. The strokes are meant to echo the natural textures one might find in such a forest setting.
