Imgur CAN be useful..

I browse imgur.com all the time, mostly because it's a great procrastination tool but every once in a while it pops up with a golden nugget of awesome artistry. 

Today while I was browsing I saw this awesome corset that was made to look like female video game armor, which is notorious for being ridiculously revealing, but still the craftsmanship was awesome.

I looked at the rest of this man's work and all of it is just incredible. Everything he does is made of leather  and it's all so incredibly intricate. I just can't imagine what it's like to be able to think in patterns like that.

One of my friends goes to The Art Department and he shared this link to a set of brushes that either one of his teachers or friends designed: BRNK BRSHS Drawing Set. After watching the video I a) want to buy them because they look like they'd be really useful and b) am really curious about whether he was using a mouse to draw with or if there's some sort of pen that one can buy to accompany Photoshop. 

I'd really like to start drawing digitally, mostly because I feel like it makes the creative process so much easier to start also, there's so many more things you can do with it. I'll never lose the love of getting my hands dirty with paint and charcoal but I'm truly entranced by digital drawing.
I went back to the list of horse paintings today because I never actually went through them all, after I found Ivan Biliban's work I got sort of side tracked. But anyways, as I was scrolling a painting by Gustav Klimt came up and it made me stop for a second.


I was taken aback by how rigid and unnaturally straight the golden knight is in comparison to the curved lines of the horse. As always I love how much gold Klimt incorporates and how the background is abstracted.
