Short introduction: I'm a visual artist/illustrator; I create semi-abstract paintings and artwork. Natural landscapes, industrial environments, dystopian cityscapes and anything in between, as well as a bunch of more straightforward traditional illustrations (digital/on-paper/mixed media).

I still like this picture I drew back when I had some free time.

"Wretched Escapees From Gisang's Forsaken Comedies"

This illustration thematically previews my next theatre adventure, which I've just sent to print. Yasss.
Southeast Asian Fantasy: 3 masked looking guys in a cool pose. One on the left is wielding kerambits, small malay/indonesian daggers, looking a bit wild. Guy in the middle is in a pose, welcoming a fight. Holds a pole arm. Guy on the right has a huge head and holding a fly whisk. Calm looking.

What is Netflix doing releasing the latest season of SCISSOR SEVEN dub-only, with no subtitle options? I watched all previous seasons in subtitled Chinese. The OG voice actors are great. I can't switch to (imo) oddly unfitting American voices at this point!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

A painting; a bizarre, abstract, perhaps subterranean environment. Contorted, vaguely anatomical shapes twist across the frame and mingle with strata of rock and stone. Pallid motes of detritus drift idly. Heavy, sepulchral shadows dominate.

The maru nib is my loyal companion at this point, but I tried something different with the colours here! Also, long live my money tree, which is featured in this drawing, and which has rotten since I finished this (but which is being propagated, so maybe not all is lost...) 🌱

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!

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.

Hi #Portfolioday
I'm a comic's artist, here's some panels from "Le Secret de Présentine Ramondore"
Plan frontal sur une affiche au mur indiquant "Grande Fête annuelle du Solstice d'Automne". Le lettrage est ouvragé et à tendance gothique, les lettres sont bleues tandis que des points rouge ponctuent les lettres et les décorations. Au premier, des personnages de dos lisent l'affiche placardée sur un mur en bois. Cadrage sur 4 cases d'une bande dessinée, où deux personnages marchent sous le soleil fort dans unes montages. Le temps n'a pas l'air pour autant très chaud. les montages et le ciel sont bleus tandis que les deux personnages, un homme et une femme d'un âge certain, équipé d'une matériel prémoderne sont déclinés dans des teintes d'ocre. Une femme d'âge mûr, de dos, enlace de manière volontaire une homme de son âge qui a l'air davantage emprunté. Le fond est d'un jaune lumineux animé de quelques frondaisons. Les deux personnages baignent dans cette lumière jaune coupé d'une teinte grise. Les deux mêmes personnages marchent dans les montagnes, de face. Les personnages et le sol sont dans l'ombre. Celui-ci est composé de grosses roches impraticables. Derrière eux, un flanc de montagne frappé de lumière.

Netflix' NERO THE ASSASSIN. Strange decision to set it in "16th Century France" and then to show a bullshit, made-up version of the place that bears little resemblance to historical reality.

First time I've seen Nobuteru Yūki's take on CHRONICLES OF THE HEROIC KNIGHT. (A glimpse of an alternate, better universe where that show was made by different ppl with an actual budget!)

Kilmer was 36 in HEAT. HEAT 2's sequel segments are set fairly shortly after that movie's events. DiCaprio is 50 years old, man(n)!

Michael Mann's Heat 2 has been acquired by Amazon MGM, with Leonardo DiCaprio rumored to take Val Kilmer's place in the prequel-sequel:

Just finished reading this one last night. A beautifully unhurried, quiet kind of book. Fantastically tangible, characterful artwork by @fdesanthemes.bsky.social
A photograph of the cover of the graphic novel/BD "Le Secret de Présentine Ramondore".
