And a few details to start the week!
For Barbara's harness, I looked for metal harnesses that would suit the period. However, I also thought that a baroque design might be appropriate to give her a more “modern” look.

I love the research and the little hints I can put into my illustration.

You're welcome! Glad it helped ❤

So gorgeous! The skintones look so vibrant and delicate

Portrait of an OC!

Thank you ❤

Beware of books 😅

Here you can see how I placed the colored render into the background.
For the faces I used a combknation of photos and 3D renders

I'm using it for blockouts, perspective and lighting. This time I even modelled the whole background so I only had to overpaint. Here's an early stage of the render

Thank you, Paul 😍

Thank you, Sophie! That was one of the things that bothered me about the old version 😊

So that's why you paint so many hooded figures 😉
But yeah, drapery is really fun!

Oh really? What do you dislike about it?

Here's the comparison

A group getting attacked by book mimics

I re-did this illustration I painted in 2021. I was surprised how much I improved. Learning Blender helped a lot, especially with my backgrounds

So cool, Verena!

I made this elven scout during the fantasy Illustration course by Diana and Clint Cearley.

This got a lot of praise in-house! Great work, Karin!

A very dark room, lit only by candles. In the background, ornate columns surround the scene, and a warrior with a hood and a golden mask can be seen standing between them. Closer to the viewer, there is a large marble statue depicting a naked woman with a mask and glowing eyes, sitting on a basilisk. In front of that, a hooded warrior is kneeling in front of a woman, who is wearing a white robe, hood and also a mask. She is in the process of putting a golden mask on the kneeling warrior's face, with a strange glow coming out from between the mask and the face.

New Art! Strange rituals are taking place at Selem's academy of the "Faceless".
Special thanks to my AD @neleklumpe.bsky.social who really helped me to push this one further, especially in terms of lighting and mood!

Das Schwarze Auge Illustration: Szinto Mündung (2024)

I loved developing the Cthulhu-esque atmosphere of the landscape.

The first sketch was done in pencils. I then quickly moved in Blender to establish the atmosphere/light and the camera. Doing a speed sculpt of the tentacle monster was fun.

What I wish every beginner artist knew about patience is that mastery takes time. Be kind to yourself as you learn, and understand that every artist faces challenges along the way.

So beautiful!

Hi Shade,

here's some of my more environmental work, as usually I'm more focused and characters and creatures :)

Thank you! I had a lot of fun exaggerating 😊

Knowing how your art looked like when you were a beginner, there are still the same vibes and themes in your paintings. The brushstrokes, your use of color in unexpected places, the shapes, your love for details. It's all very 'you' that evolved to awesomeness. Such a pleasure to watch you grow.

Gosh, Julia! You can't just post such a deep question on an ordinary thursday 😂
I feel so disconnected to my paintings, I can hardly say what's 'me'. I mostly identify with my sketchbook these days. So have a few of those 😊

It’s my birthday today! If you could repost my artwork, it would be the perfect birthday present!

So cool!

Thx for the artshare.

hi everyone!
I got a little Starter Pack going for German Fantasy artists - it's very much work in progress, so feel free to make suggestions in the comments 💙

Immer so viele neue Plattformen, aber so rostet man wenigstens nicht ein.

Haha, let's see!
