[ID: A study of several hands done in acrylic paint. The hands are painted in vibrant, unusual colors instead of skin tones. /end ID]

The title is a joke. I’ve never played Disco Elysium.

Very beautiful! I'd been working on shading and lighting with more varied & contrasting colors myself and this is honestly inspiring!

Thank you! I’d love to see your work too soviet-bashful

really cool. the particular contrast of the cerulean/cobalt shadows against the warmer colors on the bottom two hands almost makes my eyes kinda pang awooga

Haha thanks! I actually turned up the saturation and contrast just a little bit after I took the photo. The original colors are a bit more muted than they are here.

I’m currently imagining a sloth very slowly going from painting to painting in a fancy gallery.
