Inprnt prints

Post author By jfml
Post date 28/11/2023

Another photo of a print with a whole lotta birds in front of a landscape.

A photo, this motif is a room with a cluttered desk in front of a window opening out to a fantastical landscape with dragons and giants.

Photo of a print lying on a carpet. The illustration is of a person flying on a giant bird to a castle on top of a mountain that's guarded by a white wolf.

The new test #prints I ordered from #Inprnt arrived super fast! 🎉

And just like last time they’re just tooo good! ✨

#Redbubbe or #Society6 don’t come even close to it +__+ My photos don’t do the vibrant colours and deep blacks justice at all, they’re so amazing! I can’t get over it ^__^

I didn’t have to pay custom fees this time, which is interesting. I don’t know if this is down to just luck or the fact that last time they arrived in a tube and this time in a flat (big) letter. The packaging was excellent as well, quite sturdy and well made.

How to fix hyphenation not working for Scribus on Fedora Linux

Post author By jfml
Post date 21/11/2023

I just found out how to fix #hyphenation not working in #Scribus on #Fedora (probably for #languages that aren’t system language):

Check that the text frame (Windows > Content Properties), character and paragraph styles (Edit > Styles, maybe you need to double click on a style to edit) are all the correct language (in my case German on an English system).

If Extras > Hyphenate Text still isn’t working, go to Windows > Resources > Hyphenation Dictionaries and check that you have the correct .dics installed (for me it was only English) and download the appropriate ones if necessary. You can also see the path where they are installed on the system here, so you could manually move a .dic there if you manage to find one.

Tadaa 🎉

Illustration of a cat sitting on a carved pumpkin that is flying through the air, with a full moon and clouds in the background. The pumpkin has vampire teeth and tiny Will-o'-the-wisps in it's eyes.

You’ve heard of Skate Cat Wendy* now get ready for:

Pumpkin Cat Wendy! 🎃 🐈‍⬛ 🌕

This came from of the many pun-laden back-and-forths between my partner and me but this time it actually turned into something ^__^

Solar System

Post author By jfml
Post date 24/10/2023

Portrait variant of the same motif but with a smaller sun and three blue glass half-spheres arranged around the sun, protecting it?

Another variant with green sphere cuts shielding the sun, wrapping around it from above instead of the sides like the last variant.

Last variant, again with blue glass, this time they kind of look like an abstract blossom or leaves, enclosing the sun?

Hi! ^__^

Which variant do you like best? Anything I could change / do better?

I found out recently the @kde(at)floss.social is doing a #wallpaper #contest for #plasma6!

Themes are:

Trustworthy […]
„A reflection of me“ (i.e. personalized, familiar, comfortable, „fits like a glove“)
Personal growth […]

What my #subconscious (?) has come up with is kind of a #solarsystem #model? Weird!

@kde(at)floss.social I’m also kinda getting #DysonSphere(1) #SciFi vibes from this which I like ^__^

An illustration of five people, all rather fat, old and/or bulky, done in (digital) ink with blue shade.

Hallo ^ _ ^ Instead of bringing you something #ColonyOfArtists-related (which is in less then a month in #Edinburgh, #Scotland!) …

Here are a few sketches of older women main characters. Some day I want to do a #ChildrensBook or #Comic about an #old #adventurer who has lived #TheQuietLife for a few decades and goes on another #quest. Mh, that sounds like a #TerryPratchett #novel doesn’t it?

Would you rather want to buy postcards in packs or individual? What would be a good pack-size?

Selfportrait 2022

Post author By jfml
Post date 07/09/2022

Digital illustration in pinks, violets and blues of a beardy white dude (me), holding a tiny, floating planet in his hands.

Variant of the same illustration with the planet somehow replaced by a glowing, sleeping bunny that is also floating.

Happy (apparently belated) #WorldBeardDay everyone! 🥳

Did this self-portrait a while back inspired by the amazing @TurboTorbo, I don’t think I’ve ever done one before! The planet was an obvious choice since I’m a huge astronomy nerd but I’m not sure where that bunny is coming from ^__^
