Very honored & grateful to have been a part of the Between Steps Group Exhibition at Revision 2026 💚. #art #wip www.echtzeitkultur.org/projects/bet...

Creation progress - Coastal Custodians.
"Underwater scenery. Light shows from above. A whale swims in the picture from the left upper corner followed by a crowd of fish. A very strange but natural looking spaceship (like a sea creature) tries to capture planets. A pilot sits hidden in his cockpit bubble. Keeping them safe for future generations. One cord breaks by attempting the rescue. Who knows where they will be heading next." https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Coastal-Custodians-876262535

"Between Steps - The Humanity behind Demoscene Art"
"This exhibition celebrates the creative process behind demoscene graphics, by putting a spotlight on the process of creating a graphical work. From inspiration and initial sketching over the many decisions and tweaks towards a fi"nal piece.
Demoscene graphics are not born by the push of a button. They are the culmination of many hours, long thought processes, the heart and skills of the person behind the facade." https://www.echtzeitkultur.org/projects/between-steps-exhibition/

The last two months I've been working on album art commissions 💚. Looking forward to the release dates. Featuring Album Art for Fight or Dance's Step Your Mind.

Album Art for Fight or Dance's Step Your Mind. Two dynamic figures are emerging from the clouds, swirling around each other against a colorful eye-shaped background. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Album-Art-for-Fight-or-Dance-s-Step-Your-Mind-962120042

You want to commission an artist for your next project? Here is some important advice. Do not send an AI generated image with your email. It kills all the joy and turns the artist into a prisoner. A description in written form is much more useful. We love to use our minds and need to dream. #art

New artwork - King of Swords 💫 Sharpness, intelligence, logic, authority and power are associated with this card. I chose the secretary bird as king. It symbolizes divine majesty. #art #krita

Sharpness, intelligence, logic, authority and power are associated with this card. I chose the secretary bird as king. This Suit's element is air, the black feathers behind its head looked like swords and this bird symbolizes divine majesty.

The secretary bird is wearing a crown and a little monarch butterfly is flying above it, depicting conscious and unconscious mental processes.

The feathers of the wings are also reflecting the sword theme, gleaming in pastel colors. It is night, the sky is clear and full of stars. The crescent moon, and the butterfly, are reminders not to misuse power, be less controlling and speak from the heart more frequently.

Tomorrow the next tarot card will be released 🪐. Featuring - Page of Swords 💫

Page of Swords, which I've created with Krita. This card is about communication, curiosity, ideas, and speaking out. Sometimes even gossip.

I've chosen a young energetic meerkat. The turbulence can be felt through its fur. Due to the overwhelming desire for adventure, it can't focus on everything, so this meerkat can't see the sword. It can be found in the background, looking like a shooting star, surrounding Earth behind the head of the Meerkat. Since I read that the page of swords is sometimes also seen as a spy, I thought it would be great to let it look slightly like an astronaut. Planet Earth resembles in this artwork the helmet of an astronaut slightly. Of course, we see the side of the globe where the Meerkat has its natural habitat. This little fella keeps everyone up to date. Even the clouds look here and there like meerkat companions. They are listening to what it has to say about the current state of this precious planet. The clouds around planet Earth could be seen as soundwaves to emphasize how much this young meerkat loves to communicate.

In April, I've participated in the Paint Over Fast Competition at Revision 2026. ⭐️ Finishing Touches ⭐️ (inspired by a chaos picture) was created within less than 24 hours including sleep and breaks. #art #krita #demoscene

A little homage to the demoscene, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene, one could say. :)
In front we can see tables and computer equipment (different kinds of computers, a fan, drinks, snacks, lots of cables, keyboards. Five diverse looking, some of them ocean inspired, party people focus on one particular PC screen. It belongs to one of them demonstrating a demo tool. The others are making music with their synthesizer, giving feedback, listening to party announcements with a headset (probably a party organizer) and the shy little one in the right corner is trying its best to participate.
To make the background more lively, I added dancing creatures/aliens in front of the big screen that shows abstract and colorful patterns (probably a demo production from one of the party visitors),. Party speakers are bringing powerful music to the dance floor and everybody is having a great time.
We had 24 hours to finish the artwork (including sleep and breaks).
Many thanks to my wonderful friend and illustrator mouldyCat for providing the chaos picture paintover.3eyed.net/.

Meet ✨️️️ Resolute Raccoon ✨️️, the unyielding problem solver. Created with Krita and Blender within 56 days. 😊 🗝️ 🌿 Inspired by the Ubuntu release name 26.04 LTS. #art

Raccoons are problem solvers and capable of opening doors. So I had the idea to give it a real tough conundrum. Finding the last key to open the vault filled with lots of fine treasures.
It is night and a lantern provides warm light. The vault is rusty and surrounded by nature. Branches with leaves and blue flowers are following a stony background to the center of attention.
This little raccoon already found the perfect fit for seven keys. Standing on a pile of several hundreds tossed attempts while trying to get nearer to its goal.
In its left hand holding a ring with three keys with several metal materials and with the right hand a possible solution, a silver key, too busy to turn around and greet us.
We are all rooting for you, Resolute Raccoon. Your bravery will be rewarded :).

🔥 I've pre-released the 44th animal illustration inspired by the current Ubuntu release name on www.patreon.com/sylviaritter :) #art #animals #krita Featuring Kinetic Kudu

An energetic Kudu jumping for a portrait in warm and
fiery colors. Built out of highly dense energy. If you take a close look, you will see lots of smaller kudus in action, showing up by following the movement, looking like ancient cave paintings. Inspired by the Ubuntu release name 22.10.

✨ Hand-painted. ✨ The original artwork took one month to create and almost the same amount of time was spent on turning the artwork into a wallpaper.
It's a good time to update your rotating desktop backgrounds to give your homes some kinetic energy. ❤️ https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Kinetic-Kudu-Wallpaper-Version-1920x1080px-944748499

Fennec Fox's - World Book Day - 📚️ Hoping you are celebrating, too, with some page-turners. (Page of Coins card from my tarot deck in development) #books #art #krita #blender3d

This is the Page of Coins tarot card. It represents a young person on a journey of wisdom. A student with high ambitions. Depicted here with a young fennec fox surrounded by magic and flying books. Sitting on a pile of books, in a library filled with encyclopedias and knowledge. Time is of the essence :), symbolized on the coin with a sand clock. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Page-of-Coins-926157246

I received a Deviousness Award. 😊 Many thanks for all of community love 💚, and to Amber & Danie for all the effort. www.deviantart.com/team/journal... #art #space #krita

Rippling Ribbons - Two astronauts floating in space. We can see one of these astronauts in the bottom left corner. The ribbons start at the heart area—reaching out, following along a Milky Way, traveling around a planet, until meeting the other astronaut, trying to save a handful of planets - earth and earthlike. The second astronaut is already dissolving and meets his friend somewhere and somehow again. Through time and space. - We had 24 hours to finish the artwork (including sleep and breaks).

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.
