Slightly different AI thing: I can't even watch the interview on BlueSky bc due to Youtube's default auto-AI-dubbing it feels like watching a deep fake. WHY, Youtube?! I thought us Germans switching to EN at the drop of a hat in a conversation with non-German mothertongue people is a meme?!

Hot damn, what a collab! Amazing illustration. The colours, the vibe and easter eggs and I just love how the crafter holding up the shiny dice is interwoven with the font. puuurrrr, good graphic design with excellent interplay of illustration and text? Equals extra endorphines.

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Wow, amazing!!! Like @2dforever.com said: full on comic. Would definitely read! 🤩
Gosh, I'm fixating on the tiny red and green lights and accents you used throughout. So cool. And wow: 8-10 per day!! Really good work, thanks for sharing in thia format!

It looks stunning already and I love hearing about your process! More!

But WHAT a treat it is! 🤩

look at this one, living its best life

the old samsumg tablet worked! 🥳 it's probably the iOS' fault

I dare you all to draw tiny fishes.

That is such a lovely idea! I was able to create on fish on my phone. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on my iPad. I wanted to submit a ton of tiny ideas. :(

Wow! 🤩 I adore your brushwork. Gosh, the super akward question ... what brushes d- no, wait!! I got a better one: do you have a ton of brushes which you downloaded everywhere and then decide on a whim which ones you throw in? I tend to be very restricted in my brush choices and want to go more wild.

Drawings of arm muscles in a sketchbook

Practice tool: Analyse it and then draw it from memory!
1. Draw the ref and analyse it (I used an anatomy book for the muscles).
2. When done, draw it again from memory!
3. Correct the mistakes.
An immensely helpful excercise, might make you cry first, but will cement the knowledge.

That is awesome! I love that you shared to full and "cropped" version with us, both are amazing! The colour scheme and the rougher and softer parts of the different textures are lovely!

And that is absolutely fair. Thank you for taking the time to answer! ❤️

If you feel like it: would you be willing to expand on this by pointing to a pic from your comics with the alive language your are currently missing and a second pic from currently where you felt too caught up in the anatomy? Not seeking to advise you, just out of curiosity bc I'm a new follower.

Hear hear. I feel like your tweet resonates greatly with me at the moment.

I can't even be mad about this. Look at this darling.

Wow! They are really satisfying to look at. Massive kudos for the dedication and sharing these lovely details with us.

Unfortunately, I can't offer experience. But I DO know that Spiridon creates bigger and smaller artbooks for different artists or bigger collaboration projects. He might by swamped with projects but maybe there are others offering similar work/collabs.

hmmm, there are people making artbooks like Spiridude and Caurette (often together).

This, actually! I want a feed with just my art friends and I don't want it to be to be visible to just everybody.

Amazing, I love it!

whoop whoop! Beetlebum content auf BlueSky!!!!
