One day we were driving along a highway near the Alps. I relly wanted to capture that foliage feel and epic mountains. I almost feel that freshness in the air near mountains. #alps #mountains #2dart #landscape #study

Work in progress. I’ve already put 19 hours of work into this project. But I’ve got the core functionality and design done. Now I just need to polish it up and add some nice little background details. I might also showcase a few specific elements in close-up. #artwip #conceptart #citydesign

Here the lighting was the key to the design of this undeground city. Yes, some rocky shapes helped, but the atmosphere was the main turning point for this piece. #2dart #illustration #landscape #undergroundcity #cities #design

Took two reference pics and made it into one chill piece. Not really a study. I just wanted to get carried away with the process. #sunsetart #artprocess #art #illustratiuon #landscape #chill

Studies of The Double Life of Veronique movie. I am starting to make more movie studies. Quantity over quality. #artstudies #doublelifeofveronique #moviestudies #movies #digitalaart

Movie shots studies. These are actually really good way to train composition, colour and lighting. Definitely would paint more of these studies. (still no clue from where did the refs come, sorry) #art #cinema #digitalart #studies

Richard @rihkessler.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I also really want to bring this project to a proper finish. For now, it’s just a bunch of rough sketches. I’m thinking of creating either a steampunk-style Noah’s Ark, or flying city capable of mining ore, or perhaps something else #steampunk #personalartproject #floatingcity

This idea was inspired by a house from Alteberg, city in Germany. I wanted to step away from fantasy and do something involving steel for a change. #conceptart #houseidea #2dart #architecturedesign #industrialstyle

Super bumped out about my skill level. I guess it’s through crises like this that you actually improve—I dunno. Anyway, I’m doing studies based on movie shots: Pride and Prejudice and Robin Hood (2010). #movies #digitalart #artstudies

This piece is for virtual plein air challange by @octopunish_art I really enjoyed the process. I looked forward to returning to every session. I even managed to express something that was weighing on my soul. #челленджпленер #pleinair #digitalart #francearchitecture #artprocess

Richard @rihkessler.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Just a little study. It’s sort of an exercise, but I came up with the composition myself. Feeling reeally motivated to learn to paint/draw. No matter the difficulties. Ego, finances. It's all part of the art journey. Thank you for beeing here! #artprocess #mountains #art #digitalart

In the meantime, I’ll show you where I started my journey as a digital artist—mostly just to encourage myself. To remind myself that progress is real. These pieces date back to around 2008. At that point, I was just barely beginning to get the hang of Photoshop. #artprogress #digitalart

Richard @rihkessler.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Photo study and the process. It was interesting to experiment with the workflow. I went back to the good old method of line sketching. As I recall—if I remember correctly—I tried to do everything on a single layer here. #process #artprocess #digitalart #study #photostudy #natureart #nature

Richard @rihkessler.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

The process is a bit chaotic. I wanted to make a study, but went deeper and deeper with thoughts if thats was true, how practical it could be and other art fundamentals. Tricky part was to make the composition work. But it turned out alright. #process #mountains #city #landscape #digitalart

This week is pretty busy, no power for concepts. So I've decided to make more photo studies. Hope you all doing great. 😌❤️ #digitalart #photostudy #naturestudy

Revisiting my last year's studies. My conclusion is that I spend too much time at these. It's certainly relaxing and definitely improves my skills, but it's should be quantity, not quality, that's needed to truly develop sense of color, atmosphere, and form. #studies #artstudies #natureart

I found a photo of a house by the river. The composition was good, but then I had an image in my head - it could be a city. I also found art by John Martin and Andreas Rocha, that inspired me and I learned a lot from them, without copying. #art #digitalart #citydesign #conceptart

The mood here is somewhat gloomy and empty. Apparently, that's what's in my soul right now, and I managed to convey that. I suppose a lot could have been described here in terms of psychology, but let's just sum it up underground structures inspired by Elden Ring. #eldenring #artprocess #conceptart

"inlay heaven with stars" this is STARFORGER, a personal piece mixing sci fi with words by Shakespeare. A celestial being forges stars to inlay heaven with. I have some other sketches for this project, which I will hopefully get to someday! #art #scifi #Shakespeare
