Experimenting by combining dots with watercolour, not as complex as some of my other stuff but I still think it's a good start!

Took some inspiration from Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (check it out, it's an awesome book). An alternate world with rooms filled with statues, where one can slowly go mad.
A meeting of the minds.
2x A5 pages (21x29.7cm total), ink on paper.
The previous demo made me dig deeper into dithering algorithms. It's something I should have done years ago, as I've been using simple random dithering now and then, and I hadn't even thought of gamma correction. One algorithm in particular caught my eye: Riemersma dithering, which uses the Hilbert curve. Compared to the usual matrices for error diffusion, the curve approach seemed easier to implement in some ways, as it has fewer edge issues.
More interestingly, it struck a chord with my earlier experiments with space-filling curves in image processing. So it was a kind of familiar territory, but it also seemed esoteric enough that I could imagine making some new discoveries. For example, play with other plane-filling curves besides the Hilbert.
The first image uses the boustrophedon curve, which makes the vertical wave patterns I recall from a number of non-dithering demos. The second curve is what I call the diagstrophedon, a diagonal zig-zag starting from the top left corner, and I think its wavy artefacts make a nice match for Venus's hair.
Then in image 3 we have Hilbert, which doesn't seem to make any particular artefacts, and I guess that's a good thing for dithering. Finally 4 uses the Peano curve, which makes some fun wiggles in light areas.
Wait, did I really never post this on here?
Maybe it was back when I was on .art

24x32cm (9.4”x12.6”). Ink on paper. Freehand.
Put the pen to the paper, over and over and over.
A current work in progress.
Stacked Crooked - really happy with how this one turned out, it was really fun to do
Another one of these.
Brush for the linework, fountain pen + brush pen for the stippling.

Done! 40 hours, approx 1,008,000 dots. Thanks again to @art_datu on Instagram for sending me his sketch. Go check him out!
Everyone, meet Jeremiah the Bullfrog: he’s good friend of mine - you’ll never understand a word he says, but you can help him drink his wine (with apologies to Three Dog Night)
It occurred to me that I had not yet done a toad or frog, & they always have such interesting patterns and textures, & I got really excited about the challenge.
I think I did a pretty good job, & it was really fun to do, I’m slightly disappointed that he’s ‘finished’
Okie Dokie - 40 hours -approx. 1 million dots - A4

Back from my holidays and working on this one! Slowly adding in the background.
It's done!
The Banuptet, a curious tripod #Martian from my spec-evo project.

Pelagosaurus typus, an Early Jurassic marine #crocodile. As a teleosaurid it had an armored belly almost like a turtle. The little tail fluke is purely speculative and I based it off the fact that this animal shared a close common ancestor with the metriorhynchids.
In the Mesozoic there existed so-called crinoid barges, which were formed by sea lilies attaching themselves to the bottom of floating tree trunks. Some like Seirocrinus could grow up to 26 metres tall. Such barges do not exist anymore today, as the evolution of shipworms has vastly reduced the amount of driftwood in the oceans. #fossil #fossils #Mesozoic #jurassic #stippling #stipplingart #paleoart #paleontology #crinoid #crinoids #sealilies #ammonite #brachiopod #driftwood #invertebrates
Colored vs greyscale!! Which do yall prefer? I really enjoy both tbh lol tho working with the red pen I had was less than ideal
