I‘m illustrating backgrounds for a very intriguing game! 🥳

Distant Meadows@distantmeadows.bsky.social

Today we want to introduce the artists behind our in-game illustrations: Our vibrant, colorful backgrounds are brought to life by @stephanlorse.bsky.social, while CaptBexx (linktr.ee/CaptBexx) has infused our characters with her truly unique artistic style. 💚 #gaming #gamedev #indiegame #devlog

Sad about Sony ditching discs? Well, now is the time to get yourself a Sega Mega Drive! The homebrew market is buzzing right now with increasing numbers of releases! You probably think I'm joking, but screw the concept of owning nothing 😀 #Sega #IndieDev #GameDev #SegaGenesis #SegaMegaDrive

Started cold calling because business is... well you know! Doing this is bad enough as an introvert but there was one person who was basically amused that I'm still trying to be an illustrator. Maybe I should just draw my comic and eat oats for the rest of days. -____-"

I‘m at #comicsalonerlangen If you’re here and you wanna snatch the limited preview of my new comic. Find the „kubic“, the secret location at this convention. Srsly you gonna have to search for us! XD

I got to choose an item out of 4 colors at the doctors office today. I picked one and all of a sudden the person apologised for offering me pink as a choice. As if she offended me. That was so weird and so sad!

Self publishing also means spending half a day transporting your prints through the city because they got delivered elsewhere no matter how physical you where at home during the time your package could not be delivered to your home. My arms!!! #indiecomics

Adding #Comic-Pages to the website. I have 25 pages so far. Working on a preview-print-version for the upcoming Comic-Salon in Germany. Wondering when to start posting the link to my #webcomic. Also wondering when to continue drawing since I'm running on survival mode the last couple of months.

This page is taking shape! Always very humbling how a day goes by and you still have so much to do before even dream of inking. Would like to continue but there is some admin work to be done. T^T #comicpage #makingcomics #comicart

OK! Today is a "working on the comic day". Accountability post! Minimum 3 Tasks: - Reference Photo for a Scene - Concept for a room - Final decision on a character-design + Outfit for a certain scene Wish me luck. #makingcomics #comicartist #comic

Hi, my name is Stephan. I create comics and fantastical illustrations, as well as clean, technical vector work. As a freelancer, I work with a wide range of clients, from indie-studio to large corporation. #ArtvsArtist #illustrator #comicartist #vectorillustrations

After a round of feedback, I redrew my first 12 pages and I now starting with new ones. I feel like with these new pages, the feedback is starting to really sink in. Although I think I'm not a 100% there yet, I'm pretty happy with the new pages. #comic

I went to Den Haag this year and made a lot of pictures of the wonderful architecture in the city. I picked details I love and combined them in this illustration of a neighborhood tea-party. #illustration #tea #neighborhood

If you’re an artists and you are currently creating by yourself know that, in this current climate, you are actively rebelling, and that I’m proud of you for that 🫂

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC... Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought. Share a bit of art, if you can! Sing your own praises, if you like!

Making art feels impossible for me atm. but then I thought about making Name-Tag-Stickers for my nephews / nieces and suddenly I could draw again. I even had fun designing different crests. Maybe doing something for a specific person does something with my brain?

I‘m in a horrible phase of art-block atm. Not trying to do any challenges this October, but maybe a prompt here and there. Just trying to get back into drawing. This one is #crown from the #inktober list.

We're not talking enough about how hard it is, as an illustrator: to develop an unique voice and style that you get hired for specifically, but ALSO to understand what the market(s) want and how to make your work fit in there ✨ at the same time ✨ !?
