i went back to the late 1890 and earliest 19th century, and choose to work with a beautiful painting called; Giant Magnolias on a Blue Velvet Cloth by the artist; Martin Johnson Heade.
it definitely deserved a comeback, so i turned it into a Recraft Style, and use it to draw things Martin would never have imagined, like modern fashion wears, techs and appliances.
there's alot in my recraft project, check it out through the link.

What if Stone Age hunters had access to modern weapons and technology?
For the Recraft Styles Challenge, I created The Anachronists, a series of six illustrations following a group of hunters on a mammoth hunt, from tracking it with a drone to bringing it home in an off road vehicle and celebrating with a feast.
I used prehistoric rock art from the Iberian Mediterranean Basin, Bhimbetka Rock Shelters, and Tassili n’Ajjer as references to create a custom Recraft Style. Then I used it to bring these unexpected scenes to life as if they had been painted on cave walls thousands of years ago.
Same old Stone Age, very different technology.
MIMESIS
What happens when fashion becomes part of a painting?
Inspired by 17th-century Dutch paintings from the Getty collection, I created a custom style in Recraft to explore the relationship between fashion, art, and visual perception.
From patterned floors to velvet curtains and spotted horses, each look blends into its surroundings, blurring the line between clothing and the world around it.
Created for the Contra × Recraft Archive Style Challenge.
The Natural History of Digital Habits
I found a hand-coloured illustration from Edward Donovan’s The Natural History of British Insects, Volume VIII (1799), in the Internet Archive Book Images collection on Flickr. I used this archival reference to create my custom Recraft style, Digital Natural History — 1799. My six-image series imagines small creatures using smartphones, wireless earbuds, food delivery, video calls, electric scooters, and robot vacuums. Antique botanical compositions turn modern digital habits into specimens from an impossible natural-history archive.
