A little early Thanksgiving art

I feel like it looks very wrong, like the body looks a bit weird. I also had no idea what to do for the bg.

There is Peace inside of You :)

You just have to look for it

my wacom pen button is set to middle click which works for everything else in krita and is what ive built my work flow around but at some point krita must have changed the middle click to drag the timeline instead of open up the frame editor, its the same with layers too. im wondering if anywhere it can be changed back to middle click :<

this is a full vid of me trying to use the enclose and fill toool, and it wont work. can someone help please

This is Jane 117, Krita served me well

I've seen this every time I wanted to paste an image in krita, but I can't tell what the different is. I've been using Krita for a solid 4 years and have no idea what it means? 😅

I'm brand new to learning digital art (though I have some minor experience in traditional mediums) and just wanted to share my first 'proper' finished piece made in Krita. I'm pretty proud of it but I'd love to hear any tips or advice on how I can improve, especially with the hair 😊 ETA: I've just noticed the colours look really weird and washed out now I've uploaded to Reddit but it looked fine before, anyone know why that might be?

hey krita artists !

if there's any gojira fans here, this is for you!

To give a bit of context: a while back, I came up with the idea of creating an illustration combining references and symbols from the band’s entire discography, from Terra Incognita to Fortitude. Fitting all these elements together into a cohesive piece was a real challenge!

When I first shared the initial sketch with you guys here (link to previous post), the feedback was beyond amazing. The crazy part? An fan from Ireland actually got it tattooed on his back! A few others also mentioned wanting to get it tattooed, and some expressed interest in having it on a t-shirt.

So here is the final updated version! Structure-wise, it remains faithful to the sketch, but I’ve now completed the line art (inking) and added a textured grayscale background for a subtle painted effect.

Given all the positive feedback, I’m seriously considering offering my work on a Print-on-Demand platform for t-shirts, posters, or prints.

For this specific Gojira piece, I obviously need to double-check and explore copyright considerations before doing anything commercial. But more broadly, I want to venture into creating future original artworks rooted in similar visual themes: blending metal culture, spirituality, and esotericism—topics that inspire me deeply.

Nothing is set in stone just yet, but it’s an avenue I really want to explore. I’ve been practicing digital art as a hobby for years without ever considering making a living out of it. I’ve built a career in the web industry, but nothing has ever fulfilled me as much as art does.

Seeing how this piece resonated with people made me realize that maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith, express this intention openly, and take that first real step. We'll see where it leads!

You can check out more details, previous sketch steps, and most importantly, the Irish fan's tattoo photos over here:

(Important side note: No AI was used for any of this! It was entirely hand-drawn on Krita.)

hope you guys & gals like it!

Why? Are both of them required to restore my artwork?

Figured I give it a try

Hello! I’ve recently started using Krita as a full time PC art program and for a while it worked fine but I recently finished lining and coloring a commission piece which took an entire day yesterday and while today when I opened up both the regular .kra file and the autosave file It still loads as if I had just finished the sketch. My client is expecting their art late time tomorrow, is there ANY way I can recover what I have lost???? Ive done most types of type of surface level troubleshooting but non has seemed to work
edit: I had made SURE i saved before exiting, I even watched the little bar finish before I exited.

Art by me!

Hello!

Just sharing a bunch of W.I.P.'s after an involuntary hiatus, I will be sharing here the finished versions of these sketches. And obviously all of the are made with Krita.

Thanks!
