„Sunny Day on Harris“ v2

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.
Variant of the previous illustration but the door is now on the long side of the house, before it was somehow going through the chimney.

We’ve just returned from a week on #Harris with the most amazing weather!

So here’s „Sunny Day On Harris“ again (we were to early for the #Machair, though). I since realised that the original version of this doesn’t work (you can’t have a door in the chimney!) so here’s a variant.

Which one do you prefer?

… Interesting there’s some colour-profile (I guess) weirdness going on here, the new version is much more desaturated than the old one. Looks good on my PC and on Mastodon and Pixelfed, so 🤷‍♀️ Edit: Lol, it’s only in the WordPress editor? The final post is fine. Wtf.

Gingerbeard A5 print now available in my shop!

Abstract vector illustration showing a split view of a night scene on some islands: Above the water there is the moon, clouds and people camping on one of the islands with a campfire, a boat and and owl. Underwater, there's a diver and two whales.

Stopping on an #island for the #night with a nice campfire and some whales in the deep.

This one is ancient (2011) but I still like it a lot ^__^ Tiny A5 #print now available at my #shop:

Return the Wolf

Vector illustration with outlines (new terrain for me!) showing a bird's eye view of a rural landscape with lots of forest that forms the head of a wolf (the ears are mountains, the eyes and nose are lakes etc). It's night with a moon, no cars but public transport (train and bus). Around it is written: „Return the wolf, let nature heal.“

This illustration is inspired by a #documentation on the benefits of returning #wolves to #Scotland, they could hold the deer (and sheep!?) population in check so natural forests could regrow! Just imagine the #highlands a huge forest!

Check out my portfolio for detail images and a process video.

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.

Return the Wolf WIP

Vector illustration of a European landscape with a river, forests, a village, a stone circle, sheep, a lake etc. There's a howling wolf in the centre of the picture and three lakes form kind of a nose and two eyes in the landscape.

Hello ^__^ here’s a detail of a piece I’m working on. Just like with another one I’m finishing atm, I’m struggling with colours a lot. This one is kind of an experiment with doing outlines on a vector illustration, not sure if I like it but it’s a new thing!

Fedicard

An illustration of a Magic – The Gathering style trading card showing an island at night saying „Temporary Respite > Birch Cove – Fantastic Landscape: It can be a cruel world out there, so stay a while, look at some pretty art, recharge and then go on changing it for the better.“ The card is surrounded by flowers and grass, a butterfly, a ladybug, a cup of coffee, drawing utensils as well as a small plate with nuts, chocolate and raspberries on it.

Hi! Remember #FediCard? I decided to make an illustration around one, way after it was cool and then kinda lost steam … But since it’s theme seems to only getting more relevant I decided to post it anyway in all it’s unfinished glory ^__^

I’ve long struggled with my art not being deep or political enough and while I do see a worth in giving people the chance of not thinking about terrible events for a second it still feels not enough …

#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!

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/ !
