If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

i always feel like i loose a bit of sanity in big illustration scenes with a lot of characters, but on the other hand, i love coming up with context and backstories for everyone in my head. just know that if there are any background ppl in my illustrations, they are gay and kissing later actually

'The Floating Market' AD: Fen Inkwright @rosdottir.bsky.social Last illu I had the pleasure to paint for Aquarium this spring, Thank you Fen for giving me free reign with this one, despite such a bright cheerful scene being a bit out of my comfort zone <3 I feel like I've learned a lot from it.

A digital painting in for a TTRPG book showing a sunlit market scene. The different shops are all built atop inhabitable wooden boats and are filled with people who are fishing or conversing and all manner of goods and knicknacks. In-between the houseboats, there are colorful fabric canopies drawn to connect them all and provide shade.
In the foreground, there are two figures arguing- An elf woman with dark skin, big pointy ears, dreadlocks and a monocle, with a figure wearing a large red hat with a feather, dressed in a long coat and flowy silver hair in a braid.
The bar at the bottom shows the logo of the book and publishing company and reads: Charlie “Newt” Borovský @EyeOfTheNewt ©Crow&Crown 2026

Every time i see a tracing discourse fly by i always think of how most of Mucha's work, especially the commercial posters, are obviously traced thru a grid method from photographs he took. This has been the industry standard for hundreds of years, before photography they'd use camera obsura...

An old black and white photograph of two figures with a grid drawn in pencil over it and a Mucha poster next to it, with the same arrangement of figures.An old black and white photograph of a lady with a grid drawn in pencil over it and a crop of a Mucha painting next to it, with the same pose.An old black and white photograph of a woman in traditional Bohemian dress and a crop of a Mucha painting next to it, with the same pose, light and drapery. The full painting is shown zoomed out in the middle bottom of the collage.An old black and white photograph of a young girl with a grid drawn in pencil over it and a Mucha illustration next to it, with one of the figures sitting in the same pose as the refeence photo.
