This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

They're all great but the pencil one is sticking to me. Its so out there with the environment, the fungal creatures, and the neutral look of boredom on your face like everything in the picture is mundane. Its like an old Renaissance painting whose meaning is now only known to the artist.
Thanks! I've always liked narrative paintings and wanted it to be dissectable, each one puts me in a narrative setting of a story I made (or have yet to make) so cross-referencing should mean the meaning isn't completely obscured, hopefully. And I did struggle a lot with getting that facial expression the way I wanted good to hear it works!
Same I would rank them left to right pretty much. I find the first's intricate details and darkness to speak more to me
Interesting, I was thinking people would rank the opposite, but your ranking makes sense as it is also in order of my familiarity with the tool. I'm still learning to use digital and colour, I hadn't noticed it was distracting me from the information density of the actual narrative contents. Digital makes it easy to add things in, I think I'll revisit them when I finish their associated stories :)
