„The Shadow“ now in my shop ✨

A photo of the printed English and German editions, the cover showing the two main characters in front of a city in a valley. They're standing (on the shore?) of a lake. There's a shadowy creature instead of the reflection of one of the main characters in the water.
First page of the comic opening with a a view of a landscape with a river and a mountain cutting to the two main characters climbing that mountain.
Second page: they've reached the cliff-top and can see the next mountain with a canyon that is guarded by gigantic but cute stone figures of a bat and a bird. It's the entrance to the ancient city of witches!

Hi! I started (veeery slowly) moving stuff from my Ko-fi to my own shop. First up is my short comic „The Shadow“, with its English and German digital and printed versions:

Still not sure if I’m really supposed to make „products“ for all the versions and then a „grouped product“ to catch them all, while the single products clutter up all places like:

I feel like there should be a better way, but it doesn’t seem to work with „variants“ (which seems to be for doing all possible variants of e.g. three sizes and colours for a t-shirt). If anyone knows their way around in #Woocommerce please chime in. #Wordpress #shop #webshop #ecommerce

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post.

But of course it isn’t!

I just moved servers and this time it was kind of a nightmare. Updraft didn’t really work and borked the whole thing a few times, in the end I just uploaded all the files via FTP and then did the good old WP-Import via .xml.

Except for stuff like contact forms, newsletter sign-up and data etc. etc.

Also it looks like if some pictures have succumbed to bit rot:

Screenshot of the WordPress-Importer saying that it could not import four imags

Obviously my backup files are also dead and it looks like it’s the same on archive.org +___+

Welp.

The Shrine available in my shop ❄️

A vector illustration showing an isometric part of a wintery scene: a small stream that is running into a frozen lake with fishes unter the ice, a fox sleeping in it's burrow, a few trees, flying crows and a deer next to a small shrine.

#PortfolioDay 10/2024

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.
Round illustration on a pink background with a boombox-character dancing happily on a broken swastika. Text around it says „Love music, fight fascism“.
Abstract model of a solar system on a pink / salmon coloured floor, rendered with Blender3D. A big glowing orb in the centre, with copper circles (orbits) around it. More spheres on the circles (planets) with copper rings (orbits) and smaller spheres (moons) around the centre. They're all made of „natural“ materials, like glass, wood, fabric, copper etc.
Photo of a square flyer and business cards for a client of mine, Airstructures. They do inflatable domes, that can be used for fulldome projection and can also be illuminated from the outside, so their corporate identity is very dark with a bit of colour.

Hello #PortfolioDay! ✨

I’m a German #creative person, living in #Edinburgh and #Lübeck. I’ve been sneakily changing to only using #OpenSource (#Inkscape #Krita #Scribus #Blender etc.) tools and so far no one has complained ^__^

Aside from #illustration and #GraphicDesign I’ve also been doing a lot of #3D / #fulldome work, which is a good mix!

I love #nature and #science (especially #astronomy 🤩), progressive #fantasy, #folktales and everything nerdy. #FightFascism!

„Stormy Afternoon“ now in the shop!

An illustration of an old brown woman reading a book on a futon-style bed, wrapped in blankets. She's in an attic-room, there's a round window in the wall with a cat looking out into the rainy landscape with towering clouds and a lighthouse. Inside it's cosy, with tea and candles.

Hello, #fedifriends ^__^

I’m experimenting with a #Woocommerce #shop atm and „Stormy Afternoon“ is one of the products now available:

Colobee 2024

I had so much fun at #Colobee last weekend! 🎉

Just like the last years it was so good and heart-warming talking to people and seeing them react to my and my friend Monika’s work.

Thanks so much to everybody who came round and to Kat and the other organisers for the huge amount of work needed to pull off an event as this! 💖

My illustration „Cycle Outing“ in greens and pinks of a person taking a brake from cycling the rather steep climbs in a Scottish landscape with mountains, a loch and woodlands.

How to import meshes as .res to Godot from Blender

The excellent Spatial-Gardener Addon for Godot needs it’s assets to be .res files and one way to do that from Blender (or probably any 3D-object) in Godot is:

The object should probably a single mesh (ctrl-j in Blender), export it as a .obj (probably optional but easy to just export the single mesh that way).

Select file in Godot’s file browser, in the „Import“ options tab (up left a tab next to the Scene tree view), change „Import As“ to „Scene“ and press the „Advanced …“ button.

Press „Actions …“ on the upper left and choose „Select Mesh Save Paths“, select a folder where you want to save the mesh and press „Reimport“

Voila!

Colobee 24 is soon!

A table with all the things I'm going to sell: prints, comics, children's book, greeting and postcards and stickers.
A bunch of framed prints arranged on a grey sofa, the prints feature mostly landscapes in blue and pink.
A lot of prints on the floor, unframed, some of them in (biodegradable) wrapping.

Scottish friends! It’s less than a month til it’s time again for Colobee 🐝 also known as Colony of Artists, your yearly art-fair extravaganza:

https://www.colonyofartists.co.uk

If you’re in the area, mark your calendars for Sat 14 / Sun 15 of September ^__^
