I'm trying #Affinity out for painting, a quick first impression: Takes patience to arrange tools, shortcuts and interface panels(that feel outdated, tbh). The brush engine is basic af but has parameter curves, I easily made a brush like my Rough Expressive. The Paint Mixer Brush is quite cool.

An improv demo page for some of my new WIP #Procreate brushes from the pencil/graphite subset. Need to make more of these pages, I really enjoy letting loose with my little “Rampage!” side-project.

You can try or buy the current brushes and more at www.ko-fi.com/zhillustrato....

New watercolor #Procreate brushes for the upcoming update, a mix of dry and wet that really works well together(said the maker) and with the existing layer content. I make pages and pages like this. 😅

The updates will drop on Patreon in a crazy way I am planning so yeah: patreon.com/zhillustrator

Testing new mega-tasty brushes for my #Procreate collection in the ceaseless quest to get better at this and have hella fun.

These interact amazingly, especially the "Grungificator" that makes lovely happy accidents using existing paint on the layer, while retaining functionality of a brush.

There's been some UI changes in Procreate it seems. Added some dumb rounded edges that mess with the interface on small devices usually. Here's how my Brush Studio looks now on the iPad Mini 6. Unusable!I can't access most options without scrolling down. Drawing Pad is weird, sliders are longass.

Made this awesome #Procreate brush tonight. I really love doing this for hours on end, time is just a construct.

I want to upload it to Patreon and sell it for $1, would you like that?

A #print of "The Transmitter Station" tends to calm down the surface it decorates.

Throwback to a personal #art piece from way back. I still like the gray palette, though.

"Her dream was to pilot a Mistwalker one day. It went as smooth as she imagined it then, going 'woosh-woosh', holding Dad's old model in her tiny hands.
'Woosh, old man', she said, beaming."

You're not scaring or impressing anyone with this 19th century used Soviet clank, loser! 🇷🇸

I'm a metalhead, y'know, so I've had a good time when this Swedish band hired me for their album art back in 2019/20. Can you believe I made this? *They call him Dark Zhilly*
I made it live on www.twitch.tv/zhillustrator no less.

The album also sounds great: descend.bandcamp.com/album/the-de...

It's my #birthday! I turned 40 today, in much better health than a year ago, after three abdominal surgeries, many days in the hospital and long recoveries. 💪

I'm Živko, your friendly painter from Serbia, this is my art, thank you for looking!

So true! This was my cozy stream spot for today, a small forest not far from the nearby town. Just me, the iPad Mini, birds and cicadas. I had such a calm afternoon and managed a 2hr Twitch stream, too.

We have to be so much better to ourselves in this chaos.

An A4 Premium Matte #print of "The Queen of Flowers", on beautiful Hahnemühle German Etching paper. It's pretty af, to use scientific language. The best mockup is the real thing, and it's even prettier IRL.

Get yourself a cute piggo print and help your favorite Zhilly out:

"The Powerplant" is my most sold #print at cons and online. It's been an honor to send it off, in all sizes, to many new homes, for 10 years now. I hope you will want one, too, or just share, to help get me through tough times.
