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:

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

Utopia Still-Character

The same very low-poly 3d- character twice, once completely vertice-coloured on the left and uv-unwrapped and painted on the left. They're in a kinda awkward A-pose (a variant of the T-pose), wearing a pink trousers and white shirt.
Same scene but the character is viewed more from the side and not straight on.
The same character making a superhero pose with one hand pointing upward like flying through the air.

I’m working on a utopian street scene #diorama for @callforstories@chaos.social atm and since I have a bad case of „I need to to EVERYTHING myself“ I’m working on the characters atm. Debating if I should go only vertex colors (left) or „hand-painted“ (right) which is more work (uv-unwrapping 😩) but easier to add small details.

What do you think?

Pretty sure I’m not gonna rig them, though that is another https://xkcd.com/1205/ +__+

„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 ^__^

Hipster Café WIP

Vector illustration in black and yellow of 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.

Here’s a #WIP from a piece I’m working on. I realised I don’t draw a lot of the things I care deeply about in real life so (except for nature and fantasy ^__^), so this will be all about #hipster #coffee places (paired with #scifi / #astronomy).

The Selkie / Winter Morning

Vector illustration of a young, white child with long, braided hair standing on the edge of a lake in a snowy landscape. In the lake is a mermaid-creature with a seal-tail. The selkie is almost completely underwater only the top of their head is above the surface. There is an eerie glow coming from the bottom of the lake.
The same illustration but it's not snowing.

I really enjoyed #JonKlassen’s #book „The Skull“, so here is a #hommage with a #Scottish twist* ^__^

The #braids almost killed me, I’ve struggled with #drawing braids before and can totally understand when people just draw a bunch of wonky circles (like Klassen does ^__^) but this time I wanted to understand how to do it and it probably took twice as long as all the rest of the illustration. I think the dramatic shadows on them fit the eery glowing light that’s coming from the bottom of the Selkie lake, no idea how I’d do it in „normal“ circumstances …

Not sure about the #snow, I personally love it but I got #feedback on another piece that it makes it the composition very restless, which I totally see.

Snow or no snow, what do you think?

Door to Summer

Sketch in blue on white of a mountain lake with a tiny island in the middle. There's a giant crystal hovering above it and in one of it's sides you can see another landscape with flowers.

Let’s continue with the #winter theme ^ _ ^

I wanted to try #manga style grey-toning and it is a lot of fun (but as I feared it’s a nightmare to export for Web / as a JPG).
