Weekly art 🎨: Sailor Moon, cats, and gestures

Sailor Moon, version 2. I’ve come a long way since version 1.

Daily art 🎨 last few days

Gesture – 30 seconds, 1 minute, untimed.

First big work, linework finished. The best skill I’ve got right now.

This article was a breakthrough moment.

Apocalypse, told in ivy. The rest.

IX. Reaching.

Two ivy branches meet against a white wall. The branch on the right ends in many twigs, like multiple hands stretching toward the left. The branch on the left is elegantly curled with a few branches at its end, like a hand opened to receive.

VII, cont’d. Hamadryad.

A bare, brown vine with a trunk thick like a tree. Dark green leaves from another plant surround the base of the trunk, which is twisted and seamed like a gaunt body. The crown of the trunk splits into branches stretching left and right like arms raised in a dance -- or raised to conceal the dryad's face.

+++

X. Palimpsest.
Do these new vines remember the ones that have gone before?

+++

XI. Fingerprints, grappling hooks.

A thin, bare branch of ivy crosses a white, stuccoed wall from lower right to upper left. It is attached to the wall by delicate tendrils ending in 'suckers' that look just like the tips of tiny fingers.

A close-up of the 'suckers' of an ivy branch. The white wall is criss-crossed with thin, delicate, bare branches. One of them has trapped a hapless brown leaf against the wall.

It is attached to the wall by delicate tendrils ending in 'suckers' that look just like the tips of tiny fingers. All around this branch are the imprints of 'suckers' from other branches that are now long gone.

++ THE END ++

Apocalypse, told in ivy. VIII. Entwined, cont’d.

A thick trunk of ivy snakes horizontally along a wall. Smaller branches entwine around it.
