"Still Life #1"

by Faizan-Ali Dossa

This painting is my first professional still life I have created for my portfolio while living at Sheridan's Residence. It took me many months to finish and while it may not have any deeper meaning behind it. I put forth my years of knowledge into creating this piece.

Paperboat on Stormy Seas

Paperboat on Stormy Seas

A watercolor painting done on cold press watercolor paper, depicting a paper sailboat on a voyage across the sea to an island in the middle of a storm. The meaning behind this piece is that, no matter how weak one may look, you can never know what they may achieve.

This is a piece on two characters I have created for my future webcomic. On the left is Luna and on the right is Zeref, two main characters of the webcomic. The art style has been inspired by Scott Sava and Alphonse Mucha.
