Underrated Artists Feature #10

Posted by Bleak-Creep - December 6th, 2023


This year has really flown by and I can't believe we're in the final stretch of it already, but I figure it's about time for another one of these!


@tuffghostart is one of those people you really wanna zoom in on their pieces because they're always experimenting with wild colors or unique brush techniques that you might not be able to fully appreciate until you get up close. I love those retro half tones in particular. 


Speaking of "wildly experimental", I had to make sure I hadn't done @NeverSkipEggDay before, but I guess not! They're always using a bunch of cool textures and techniques that really blur the line on how they actually achieve the effect they're going for. Definitely worth browsing through their gallery sometime, there's a lot of neat stuff in there.


@domutstel has this fun and expressive art style with that thick and crunchy MS Paint-like approach to the lineart (maybe it really is MS Paint?) that really helps their colors and designs pop.


Admittedly @wanderer-scop hasn't posted too much yet, but I've really been enjoying what little I've seen so far. Each piece has a nice dream-like sketchiness to them and I love the way the edges of each one seem to flicker out into the abyss.


@Nornt24 is another person I haven't really seen all that much from yet, but I like the soft and dreamy sort of worlds they've been making. They aren't quite the most polished looking yet, but the vision is clearly there. Looking forward to see where they end up taking things.


I think that's all I've got for this issue, but I might throw in a couple more features in a year end wrap up sort of post closer to the new year. Might not have been quite as productive this year, but there's still been a lot to reflect on. Hope you're all able to have a nice holiday season this year too!

(i use FireAlpaca btw and turn off anti-aliasing to get the crunchy look, never really used MS paint lol)

Probably for the best, I have no idea how (or why) some folks pull off the things they do in Paint.

You’re welcome though! I love your stuff :)
