Hello! I am a surreal artist from Texas!

in #introduce • 7 years ago (edited)

Greetings! I just joined this platform and am excited to share my artworks and journey with everyone! I enjoy doing paintings and illustrations that are more sci-fi and fantasy like. For my paintings I employ the mische technique, where I overlay transparent oil glazes over an egg tempera under painting. For my illustrations I use a pen and watercolor mostly.

I have a new body of work that I am currently in the middle of creating and I do hope to document it and share it here on a regular basis.

Here is my last painting, "Apocalyptic Unicorn" oil/egg tempera on panel completed in November of 2017.

Here is an illustration of a more sci fi fantasy vein, entitled, "Crystal Mantis Seeker"

    Hello, @kozmiksphinx, and Welcome to Steemit.

    That's some pretty bizarre and interesting art. I'm sure others here on Steemit would agree.

    Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

    1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
    2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
    3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
    4. Be yourself.
    5. Be interesting and informative.
    6. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
    7. Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

    Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

    Great. One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 2 contests.

    @photocontests, organized by @juliank
    #tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer

    Also, with those photo contest posts, a short-sweet post is acceptable and fine. I'd recommend adding a bit of text, to make the post interesting. (check out my entries in @juliank's photo contests.)
