'The Only Child' Every family has a mood. I wanted this piece to feel like a formal portrait that takes itself very seriously... while quietly admitting it might be a little strange. A little vintage, a little eerie, a little too well-behaved. The title made me smile because it sounds simple, but it opens up all kinds of questions. Is she spoiled? Sacred? In charge? Outnumbered? Probably all four. Moody, yes. Miserable, no. More like the kind of family portrait that watches you for a change. #illustration #portraitart #moodyart #surrealart #darkart #artwork #sdm #illustration #digitalillustration #hybridart #contemporaryillustration #digitalpainting #traditionaldrawing #customdiffusion #adobe #aiart #oldscoolartist #newschooltools *My illustrations come to life through a hybrid process that blends hand drawing, custom diffusion models, SD rendering, Adobe Photoshop drawing and painting, Topaz filters and effects, custom texture overlays, and a deep archive of traditional artwork...
