Was studying my underpainting and thought of this sub when I realized I created a bog

Edit: Just wanted to add some more context- this is my first oil painting that I’m using to learn how oil colours mix in and on different mediums. There are about 4 full layers underneath consisting of acrylic, hot glue, water colour, and synthetic ox gal. Those were covered in a full layer of black acrylic before I started on the oil colours you see now.

I use the textures and undertones from the underlayers to guide some of the shapes, but this is an abstract and very emotion-based piece that I plan on adding to for the rest of my life, so it will only be done until I’m dead 😇

Waited 2 months for this guy to arrive from Japan and honestly I didn’t think I’d like this shell as much as I do but I’m obsessed.

I’ve been rebuilding my collection and recently obtained my childhood favourite (v2 yellow butterflies) but I’m already way more attached to this little one and it’s only been a day

My other gen 1s feel like a chore so I barely touch them, but y’all… this one feels different, I can’t let go

Just wanted to show him off :,)
