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

NOWHERELAND is now available in my shop! In print and digital! 26 full colour comic pages #comics #art #horror ko-fi.com/s/2540876e6d

physical copy of my comic book Nowhereland. a wwi style soldier holding a rifle standing in a hellmouth frame. a white, upwards drippy font says nowhereland

backcover. white on red font. the blurp reads: ""Maybe we're dead. Maybe we're dead and this is hell." When war and magic meet, things quickly go awry. A lowly soldier gets lost in a strange place, not only between frontlines but between reality and nightmare. Not that it would really make a difference..."

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 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.

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

I need europeans to take a good look at their own governments and be fckn vigilant. Our own right-wing parties are watching the US with glee. They're not just silently agreeing. They're saying out loud that they want their very own ICE. The fight against fascism is a universal one!

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

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 ✨ !?

Another exploration. Since my comic will be in black and white, I need to be more bold with bringing black into the designs. #sketchbook #characterdesign #ink

a fun little social media "tip" i heard a while back and love doing from time to time is to go to a specific account you like and scroll their feed rather than a "for you" or "following" feed! It's so fun because you get to deep dive in one person's work, AND it feels more intentional!

An attempt to redesign my main-character. The design is still not vibing with me but I'm also very uncertain about the style. This might be too "realistic" in proportion and in textures. BUT! I like the wings on her headpiece. Gonna keep them for now! XD #sketchbook #comic #characterdesign

Stephan Lorse @stephanlorse.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

I need to "loosen up" the character-designs for my comic. I want them to be more fun and a bit silly. This is very hard to do for my main cast, so I decided to design some side characters because this might be less pressure. I think I'm in the right track! I like this fella! #sketchbook #sketch

Some studies. On the left, I wanted to simplify stonewall and on the right forest. I find it very hard to get the texture of forest right and not just scribble a huge area of visual noise. QxQ #illustration #sketchbook #studies

Stephan Lorse @stephanlorse.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

I got valuable feedback concerning my comic. Basically I have to rework some things. Some is technical and fairly easy to improve upon but some has to do with my style and goes very much into kind of a "gut feeling territory". aka Not so easy!
