Shameless Self-Promotion: Escape Motions/Rebelle 6

Shameless Self-Promotion:
Escape Motions / Rebelle 6

I have to admit, the past couple months have been filled with a series of oddities--each bigger and more odd than the last (and I have something flat out mind-blowing to report for my next post... I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it).

Case in point: Samuel from Escape Motions/Rebelle reached out and contacted me on May the Fourth from my Blog to see if they could post my 501st Painting on their socials for that day.  Alas, I was out of town and couldn't respond until late in the evening on May the Fourth, so that put a bit of a stick in the spokes for their May the Fourth posting.  However, I mentioned some other Rebelle digital paintings which they were interested in seeing and sent those along, which they have posted here:

It is extremely flattering to be featured on their socials--especially ironic since I am not on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter--my Blogs are about the extent of my Social presence.  Perhaps I should change that in the near future?

Anyhoo, given my lack of social presence, Samuel must have been trolling the depths of the Internetz amongst the angler fish, goblin sharks, and vampire squids to accidentally find me (and I appreciate it deeply).  Rebelle and Clip Studio Paint are my two default digital art programs.  While Rebelle is integrated with Photoshop, I personally use Clip Studio Paint to round off a few rough edges until I more fully get the hang of the program, instead. 

For myself, Rebelle has replaced Painter and it has a great wet media and blending engine.  I'm still learning my way around Rebelle properly, but I see people putting out amazing works with it, so I can see what it is capable of in better hands than mine (and why do there seem to be **SO MANY** better hands than mine?).  I'm hoping to start doing some serious digital paintings with Rebelle in earnest this Summer to see what I can really do with it.

Here are some of the Rebelle 6 paintings I've done on this Blog (the 501st Post and "May the Fourth", featuring Jaxxon, the 6 foot tall green rabbit from the original Marvel "Star Wars" comics, of course)...

I've also used Rebelle for some work I do for "Moss Piglet", a small art magazine out of Kenosha, WI, in which I participate regularly.  Each month, they have a prompt they use as a theme for the magazine.

Obviously, this one was from the prompt for Bob Dylan (with a parody of "Zap Comix #0 cover by Robert Crumb--fitting for my blog... I'm not sure why I didn't post it now that I think about it).  In this case, I used Clip Studio Paint for the line work as a sort of a digital black plate, which I then exported as a transparent .PNG and imported it into Rebelle 6 to paint the color underneath the line work using their excellent Watercolor and Blending engines.

Here are a couple more I did for "Moss Piglet" but weren't included in the Escape Motions/Rebelle posting.  This particular piece is a digital painting I did for the "Food, Glorious Food" prompt (I was the cover for that month):

And this is one from the prompt for "Transportation":

OK, I'm sure that's more than enough shameless promotion by yours truly.

My thanks again to Samuel from Escape Motions/Rebelle for reaching out to me.  It is every bit as surprising as it is appreciated!
