Hello, my name is Philipp and I'm a concept artist & illustrator.

I love science fiction, open source, Linux, and VR. I paint in #Krita, model/animate/render in #Blender, and design in VR with #GravitySketch. My non-client work is #cc by-sa. Lefty, vegan, life drawing lover. Occasionally nsfw art.

For the longest time I found it difficult to enjoy painting (and often even drawing), it was always just a necessary grind to get better. But now that I’ve improved a bit it’s starting to grow on me! Which is a weird feeling when something that is “supposed” to be work/practice suddenly starts being fun, haha.

Have you had a similar experience with any part of your craft?

Through the Warrior Painters group I’m discovering so many amazing artists – right now I’m in love with the colours in Anthony Val’s art, so intense and friendly. Here’s some more of his work: https://anthonymval28.wixsite.com/portfolio/sketchbook

Somebody tell me more about #Pixelfed, I’m considering signing up to the .social one. So far I’ve mainly seen photos there, is there an art community to speak of? How much gets posted there/how fast is it? What’s the vibe like, is it similar to here? Any admin drama you know about?

Thanks fam. 🙏

Every time, only on Masto. 😊

Me: “Wow, that’s a really cool piece of art, let’s go check out their profile!”

Their profile: “✔️ You follow each other” 🥰

Some animalistic vibes between all the landscapes. Again playing with contrast of saturation, it’s very satisfying to pull back most of a painting and then create small islands of really intense colour. Painted in #Heavypaint.

What’s your favourite art book? I love the exhibition catalogue of the Star Wars Identities show, it has so many fascinating old sketches and designs from the original trilogy. This is what Yoda could have looked like!

I’ve been thinking about it for some time, but now with so much time working from home I finally did it: Got myself a dual monitor arm and an ergonomic chair. Not cheap, but I think it’s a good investment for future you, if you have the means.

Or just use reams of paper to improve your setup like this! ⬇️ 😆 🔥

I find this illustration by @Gynux so adorable, and there's many more like this:

Worth a follow if you're looking to beautify your timeline, it always brightens my mood!

Your worth is not tied to your productivity. Create because your art deserves to exist, not because the rat race of social media tells you you’re useless if you don’t produce “content” fast enough. Otherwise we’re just unpaid workers for big tech’s profits.

I'm so grateful that the Fediverse feels very different in that regard. 💗
