Carsten P. Dietrich @zehpeh.bsky.social · Apr 8

Apparently it's #portfolioday again(?)

I'm Carsten, a visual artist based in Ireland. My main focus is on abstract and semi-abstract artwork and paintings as well as illustrations and comics. Available for work and open for commissions etc!

#portfolioday2025

A semi-abstract painting of a distorted, futuristic, dystopian(?) cityscape dominated by interlocking, black architectural silhouettes. A melange of bright colours illuminates the scene from within and via the background, where a calm rose hue shines in from the left and mingles with more aggressive yellows before vanishing within an acrid green vapour. Cool blues pulse amid inky detritus.

A painted illustration: An apparently subterranean, deteriorated space in shadowy hues of blue and black. Light seeps in from the upper left, highlighting an assortment of thick tubes twisting downwards from the same direction. Parts of the tubes are patterned with bright red stripes. Beneath them, on a walkway leading alongside what might be a canal, a figure in a warm yellow/orange coat silently observes the scene, standing on the brink of a softly illuminated slipway or drain.

A largely abstract painting in tones of orange, red, blue and black. It shows a deconstructed urban environment, a street or thoroughfare going centrally past shadowy stalls and half-guessed architecture. An ambling figure's silhouette is seen on the horizon, either approaching or moving away

A comic panel. A lone girl is seeking shelter from the raging waves of a diverted river flooding the area. She's perched atop the trunk of a desiccated tree, holding on to one of the truculent branches. Tufts of pale foliage sit at the end of each branch. A ridge of rock can be glimpsed in the background. The water is black and dirty brown, foaming and spraying, breaking against the trunk.

dude the rendering is always so clean. I love the textures you put throughout

Mikey @mdfioreart.bsky.social · 2d

Ya np! Basically the scene is parented to the card to follow it turning and all that. Then you just render out the scene with only the card visible. And render out the scene with only the background showing. After all that you put the 2 vids together on blenders video editing.

Mikey @mdfioreart.bsky.social · 2d

amazing! I really want to try out making some texture brushes like yours on PS. Reminds me of the look i would get with my paints when I would use gouche. Keep up the insane work dude
