„Sunny Day on Harris“ v2

Illustration of a traditional Scottish cottage on a flowering meadow (Machair), surrounded by the sea. It's a beautiful day, there's sheep and birds and mountains in the background.
Variant of the previous illustration but the door is now on the long side of the house, before it was somehow going through the chimney.

We’ve just returned from a week on #Harris with the most amazing weather!

So here’s „Sunny Day On Harris“ again (we were to early for the #Machair, though). I since realised that the original version of this doesn’t work (you can’t have a door in the chimney!) so here’s a variant.

Which one do you prefer?

… Interesting there’s some colour-profile (I guess) weirdness going on here, the new version is much more desaturated than the old one. Looks good on my PC and on Mastodon and Pixelfed, so 🤷‍♀️ Edit: Lol, it’s only in the WordPress editor? The final post is fine. Wtf.

Gingerbeard A5 print now available in my shop!

Abstract vector illustration showing a split view of a night scene on some islands: Above the water there is the moon, clouds and people camping on one of the islands with a campfire, a boat and and owl. Underwater, there's a diver and two whales.

Stopping on an #island for the #night with a nice campfire and some whales in the deep.

Return the Wolf

Vector illustration with outlines (new terrain for me!) showing a bird's eye view of a rural landscape with lots of forest that forms the head of a wolf (the ears are mountains, the eyes and nose are lakes etc). It's night with a moon, no cars but public transport (train and bus). Around it is written: „Return the wolf, let nature heal.“

This illustration is inspired by a #documentation on the benefits of returning #wolves to #Scotland, they could hold the deer (and sheep!?) population in check so natural forests could regrow! Just imagine the #highlands a huge forest!

Wolf Witch – Process Video

I love watching other artist’s #process videos and I finally managed to do something similar for „Wolf Witch“, that I posted last week!

It’s just a video (made in #Blender because I know how 😹) of the different versions I saved while working on it.

Do you enjoy watching videos like this? Anything you’d change?

Wolf Witch 🐺❄️

Illustration of a wintery landscape with pink clouds, a full moon, a mountain and a forest in the background. In the foreground amidst birch trees is a brown-skinned person, seemingly a child with earrings next to a giant white wolf. They're cradling a ice crystal familiar that has a concentration of snowflakes around it.
Detail view of the illustration, focussing on the character, wolf and ice crystal familiar.

The Wolf Witch’s ice crystal familiar brings the snow ❄️

Hello Fediverse! ^__^ Here’s my first finished work in 2025. Struggled a lot with colours in the process but (as always ^__^) I’m happy with how it turned out in the end.

3D-Lofi-Girl WIP

WIP of a cellshaded 3d-scene homage of the famous lo-fo girl illustration: a person is studying in a cosy room at night.

Hello Fedifriends! 😺

I’m testing non-realistic, more painterly shading in #Blender (= #cellshading, thanks Kevendram for the tutorials), decided to do homage on #lofigirl.

I’m not really happy with it, especially the lighting / shadow are a mess.

What do you think? Should I continue or try a more normal approach to shading / lighting?

Inkscape-Tutorial: Make duplicated clones / instances real

Inkscape has a bug where it only exports a white page when duplicates / clones are present on the page. To get around this do:

– Edit > Clone > Unlink Clone (Shift-Alt-D)

Also, while I’m on it:

Scale many objects around their individual centres:

– Ungroup Objects
– Transform Menu (Ctrl-Shift-M) > Scale
– Tick „Apply to each object seperately“

Thanks to SMBiggs on Stackexchange.

Avocados gegen Hass 💫

Illustration of (half) an avocado character on light pink background that is kicking a swastika to bits. Above it a 3d-text says „Avocados gegen Hass” (Avocados against hate).

Always wondered why it’s called „Hass Avocado“ (Hass meaning „hate“ in German, so „Medium Hate Avocado“ 🤔)* and since the whole western world seems to be turning fascist I decided Hass Avocados are actually not ok with all this bs.

Be like the Hass Avocado and stand up against hate!*

* I since learned that the surname of American who cultivated that variety of avocado was Hass:
