Does Lemmy like my partner's art? I'm trying to convince her to join. (lemmy.nz)

It always seemed like most of the popular art on Reddit was based around pop-culture. That's not really her thing, so not sure how popular it will be here.

Her name is Dominique Marriott and she paints these with a calligraphy brush. I don't want to cross-post the same stuff everywhere, but it seems like Lemmy really needs as much content as possible at the moment. So I'm putting different pictures on different communities. Take a look at my profile if you want to see more of her work. And do say if you like it. She'd love a better option than Instagram.

Yes, diversity and variety in creative expression is most welcome!

Really like how minimal yet expressive your partner's works are 😁

Great beauty can be captured with simplicity and minimalism like that, I think she's doing great with this and hope she posts more!

Love this, it does so much with so little actually on the paper! Such a cool medium to make art with.

I'd love to see more content like this here!

Thanks everyone! These comments have been so encouraging. I've now set up an account and have started posting work myself.

It's so elegant and simple, it has exactly the strokes it needs so that the shape can be identified. I love it.

The tattoo possibilities, oh my!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try using Bings generate image for tattoo design. Got some really impressive results that way. For example, generate with "full sleeve tattoo in newschool style". Not all results are good, but some are. Some results were interesting, shall we say. As something to base a design off of or to show an artist what you like, it's quite good. It's not spectacular at multiple objects so keeping the keywords few seemed to work best. I tried to blend classical tattoo styles with for example Picasso's Guernica and got a few good examples that could work as single pieces. I went through 3 burner addresses experimenting.

I'm sure there are better keywords to use, but it was fun.

Sounds like an excellent way to crush a boring weeknight after supper. Thank you for your suggestions, I will certainly let the AI Gods have a say, just still love the original though ;)

It's more expressive than eg. Picasso's line works. Really nice

I dig the minimalism

Great eye for shapes

Lovely calligraphy style! Love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I had the same thought. It's reminiscent of fountain pen art.

I went and looked at all of the posted works and this is my favorite. She is very talented I hope she decides to bring her talents to Lemmy.
