„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 😢 )

„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.

UtopiaStill-Screenshot

Screenshot of a very low-loly 3d street scene, looking out onto the water, there is lots of greenery, trees and seating, as well as a kid jumping into a fountain and a crow frozen in mid-air.

I know it’s not #ScreenshotSaturday but here’s one from my #utopian 3d diorama #UtopiaStill I’m working on for @chaos_fl(at)chaos.social anyway ^__^

Working with #Godot has been a blast so far, handling #Blender files is a breeze!

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.

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(at)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/ +__+
