„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

„Sleepy Reading Time“ now in the shop

A nighttime scene in a bedroom, a young person is reading in bed, their book lit by a glowing crystal lizard while and old person is dozing after reading in a nearby armchair, their feet resting on a giant dog/or wolf. There's a fox sleeping on a pile of books on a chair and a giant fish keeping guard outside the window.

„Sleepy Reading Time” is now available as an A5 print in my re-opened store (moved to a new server):

(There seems to be some fun time with taxes: when I open this in a private window it shows the price without taxes – which it should not do and I don’t know why 😢 )

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:

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.

„Last Coffee Shop Before the Galaxy“ (2024)

Monochrome illustration of the inside of a hipster coffee shop, the old lady barista is just doing some latte art, there are stickers on the coffee machine and the walls are full of coffee making equipment, that have tiny astronomical things in them (a miniature sun, moons, planets etc). There's a giant window from which you can see the surface of the moon, the earthrise and our milky way in the background.
Detail of the illustration in black and yellow: an old person with a topknot behind the bar of a café pouring oatmilk into a cup. There's an espresso machine with stickers on the left.

Old #punk lady’s #coffee shop on the #moon where the young #space kids fighting for free space travel drop by before going on their #adventures.

I’m a huge #astronomy and #coffee #nerd but I don’t really express these in my #art so I thought why not combine the two ^__^

Lady Sindbad (2014)

Illustration of a bunch of people having fun on a tiny island around a campfire on a starry night. One of them has a wooden leg, the another one is roasting something on a stick. They're having an excellent time.
Full version of the illustration, they're actually having a party on a giant whale!

I have this weird thing that I’m only allowed to post stuff I haven’t posted before on #SocialMedia. And while I try to not care about that looks like this fits the bill as well:

„Lady Sindbad“ (2014)

Really like the #cosy atmosphere in this one ^__^

Ghost Tiger (2020)

Illustration of a night scene with a small car on a rural street and a giant, blue-tinded tiger hovering above it. There's a mountainous landscape with trees in the background.

Looks like I’ve never posted this 2020 piece inspired by the #ChildrensBook „When You Trap a Tiger“ by #TaeKeller* Not super satisfied with this (will I ever be with anything …) but I love the #mysterious atmosphere this has ^__^

Hope you have a good week!

* Look at that amazing cover: https://www.taekeller.com/ !
