„City Whales“ A5 print added to the shop

A black girl is running through a city at night with two owls following her and whales floating through the starry sky! There are buildings on the whale's backs!

Hello ^__^ 🐋

I added a tiny (A5) print of my illustration „City Whales“ (from my children’s book „Fox of Friendship“) to my shop, slowly working through my backlog …

„Sleeping Guardian“ print now available in my shop!

Illustration of a mound with trees on top and the ocean in the background. In the hill there's the entry to a grave with two glowing eyes in the dark and a black fox sleeping above the cavern entry.

Dear Blogvoyagers! ⛵

Looking for feedback, #WooCommerce is quite the beast with shipping zones and taxes etc. If something doesn’t make sense, please tell me ^__^

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.

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.

The Fox of Friendship now in my shop!

Cover of the English version of Fox of Friendship, showing the main character, the white fox as well as a fire elemental floating above a city at night.
A double spread showing the main character, Ara outside of their home as well as a page with a homeless person sleeping at the foot of a statue of a water buffalo.
A close-up of a page where Ara and Nin sneak by the Parliament of Owls.

Hello ^__^ This week it was time for my children’s book „Ara & the Fox of Friendship“ to move from my Kofi to my own webshop:

Kinderbuch / Children’s Book: Ara & der Fuchs der Freundschaft / Ara & the Fox of Friendship

„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:

The Shadow / Der Schatten

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

#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!

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/ !
