When I was in my teens I dreamt of being a concept artist and made so many designs. I never went through with it, cause life. I still hold that dream though and I hope I might one day prove my worth as one. I miss that wild imagination, so in that spirit I revisited and remade one of my many sci-fi designs: an alien predator living in an ecosystem of miles high lillypad like forests. I think I made the original one when I was 13 or 14. Captions for more info.#MastoArt #SciFi #ConceptArt

Another sketch for my #boardgame project. This time it's an NPC: Kiki the frog shaman. Her deep connection with the spirit of the mycelium network grants her insight into all that happens across the land. I made this sketch digitally in #Krita and just wanted to give it a very quick coloring afterwards, though its still a bit rough. Very pleased with the sketch!#MastoArt #DigitalArt #FantasyArt #GameDev #GameArt #frog #mushrooms

A study that I managed to squeeze into some empty moments the last couple of days: two eurasian magpies. Based of a photograph. The purpose of this study was to draw these high contrast creatures in dim lighting, because I wanted to practice to paint 3-dimensional objects without relying on strong shadows. The other purpose was to create color variety in apparently single colored surfaces. I've used a simple round brush with pressure opacity.#MastoArt #Animalart #magpie #birds #KritaArt

The last couple of weeks, this has been one of the pieces I've been working on. A promotional piece for my #boardgame project, but due to other circumstances it's been on hold. I still want to share it and tell you a bit about the project, because I've got many more illustrations that I want to show, but I want them to have context before sharing. The game is called Snailriders, I'm going to tell you a bit more about in the following thread. #gamedev #MastoArt #boardgames #snailriders #fantasy

I'm continuing to revisiting and repainting old creature designs. This is an image of a troll based of a design I made in 2015. The original was made with watercolor, the new one painted digitally in #Krita. I'm thinking of using it for a monster encounter card in my Snailriders boardgame, but I'll have to see if it fits the mood of the rest of the game.#MastoArt #FantasyArt #troll #boardgames #Snailriders #gamedev #GameArt #fantasy #kritaart

Just a little over a year ago I started with my Mastodon account and it has been wonderful! But I realized that I've never done an #introductions post so:I'm Benjamin Brinckmann, freelance artist working in digital art, pen and watercolor. I focus on illustrating nature, animals, people, scifi and fantasy, both in realistic and comic-book styles and I make botanical illustrations for CSA's in Norway. Ecology, outdoor-life, nature preservation and climate change are important themes in my life.

I finished another set of lanscape tiles for the prototype of my Snailriders boardgame: this time rather plain looking plains (needs a whole lot more conceptual work), an idyllic lake, an ominous marsh and a mysterious ruin. These ones have been challenging, but I've gained quite some experience and learned some neat tricks that will be rather helpful further on. #Snailriders #MastoArt #FantasyArt #fantasy #boardgame #boardgames #GameDev #landscape #DigitalArt #plains #lakes #swamps #ruins

(Edited version: original file was too large and became difficult to read)I've been on a three day camping trip into the Norwegian wilderness with my partner and our 3-year old (his first real trip!), and I had some time to just sit besides the lake and reflect upon the reflections and how to paint them. I've worked out my notes into this tutorial and I'd really like to share them with my fellow fedi-artists.#MastoArt #LandscapePainting #lake #reflection #reflections #DigitalArt #tutorial

Hello everyone! It is time for #MastoArtStudyNumber2!I want to continue practicing our 3D understanding, so I've made this exercise: I've drawn 3 subjects from only the front and the side. I want you to choose one of them and draw it in 2 point perspective so you can see both the side and front! Visit my blog for color coded versions of these drawings and more info on joining the #MastoArtStudy exercise: https://brinckmann.no/en/blog/post2/Now with that said, good luck drawing!#MastoArtStudyMainPost

I finished another animal painting, this time of a moose standing in a shallow lake. It is for sale as both A3 and A4 posters. I've been making high quality prints of a couple of artworks that I'm going to sell at a stand next weekend. It's so amazing to see my work printed, suddenly it has become so tangible :)#MastoArt #AnimalArt #DigitalPainting #Moose #Nature #NatureArt #Mist

@john I found this illustration for some years ago in the article by Mike Habib on pterosaur.net and have used it ever since as a reference. It's really well done. Looking back, would you update it in anyway or are you still happy with the reconstruction?

So @Laszlo and I decided to collaborate some more, and he gave me a beautiful photograph of a kingfisher to paint. I finished it in three sessions, with a total time of 3.5 hours. I don't know if you can call this #speedpainting, but for me this is really quite speedy. Plus this is a completely finished painting, definitively not a sketch!#MastoArt #AnimalArt #Birds #DigitalPainting #Kingfisher
