Pseudoheraldry IV

2012-02-13T18:56:00.002+01:00

I know, I cheated a bit with this ... :D

Weaving

2012-02-10T07:53:00.003+01:00

Count the braids to stop the world from spinning.

Pseudoheraldry III

2012-02-07T23:31:00.002+01:00

The topic of today's pseudoheraldry is laughter, sea, sun and ... umm ... scouts. Again. I don't really see the delight of living in a tent, but if some people do, well, it's their lower back pain. :)

Pseudoheraldry II

2012-02-06T14:04:00.002+01:00

Another bit of pseudoheraldry, developed from the words: pharmacy, love and animals (esp. cute & furry).

Pseudoheraldry I

2012-02-05T13:44:00.003+01:00

I'm playing a little game with my friends. I ask them to give me three words and I try to come up with a bit of pseudoheraldry logotry for them.

Scouts, Laughter, Music.

Bearthing and Blackblob

2012-02-03T12:26:00.001+01:00

Bearthing caught a fright,
it wasn't looking for a fight,
but for sure the Blackblob
had eaten it's friend Rob.

Bear Auk

2012-02-02T16:33:00.004+01:00

A wonderful little map I found in the bottom-most drawer in the attics of my digital mind. :)

Tminska

2012-02-01T21:42:00.002+01:00

A small landscape doodle for the Tolminishers.

More Pretzels

2012-01-29T16:30:00.003+01:00

Curly pretzel vector stlye ... does a compass ophidian by any other name bite as sweet? Is a flower just an hour masquerading as a bite to smell?

Nonsense aside, a bit more practice with overlapping vectors. Harder than it looks!

Happy New Skull!

2012-01-09T07:54:00.002+01:00

:) 2012 is still here. Still unexploded.

Radigast on Nyr Dyv

2011-12-31T11:07:00.003+01:00

A map of the city of Radigast in the fictional D&D setting of Greyhawk, commissioned by DM Zork and drawn by yours truly.

:)

enjoy!

Gomilsk

2011-12-29T16:21:00.001+01:00

"Gomila, gomila, od kod krasota tvoja ..." spake the stone upon the barrow-hill. Spake the stone alone, upon that hill of turf and bone.

Xmas Concert Poster

2011-12-25T14:54:00.000+01:00

A little poster I did for a brass band concert playing ... umm ... tomorrow. Didn't want to upstage the first posters I saw posted, so I waited with it.

Happy holidays and such to everyone!

A Sea of Centaurs

2011-12-08T11:16:00.001+01:00

Why haven't I drawn enough pictures recently? Because I had to dream this up. :)

And it took quite a bit of work. Entirely hand drawn, except for a few texture layers added right at the end.

Enjoy!

Snow Wabbit

2011-12-07T22:19:00.001+01:00

The snow wabbit has been hiding this year, only the frost mole has thus far been seen, leaving his frosts all over bough and bole.

Happyholidayland

2011-12-06T13:15:00.001+01:00

It always ends the same way. :)

Guess who drew ...

2011-12-05T11:04:00.001+01:00

Mladina, proglas

The calendar reminds us that the world isn't ending. More of the same awaits us: working, eating, sleeping. I was generous and didn't draw the pooping we'll all have to take :).

Sea Lawyer

2011-11-28T16:40:00.001+01:00

The sea lawyer ... distantly related to the sea lion and the sea cucumber.

Frosty Dog

2011-11-21T22:00:00.001+01:00

When the frost grows from the ground, oh-ho-ho-ho, the doggy plays in the icy sand, oh-ho-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum. Or something.

She likes snow, but she makes do ... just like all of us waiting for the snowe :)

The Good Shepherd

2011-11-10T13:53:00.000+01:00

Be very, very careful when someone says they know what's best for you and that everything they're doing is in your best interest.

Of course, this cartoon could also be a rather discrete* jab at some of the current batch of Slovenish politicians jostling for power at the next elections.

*for a certain, very slack definition of "discrete".

Smile

2011-11-07T11:38:00.002+01:00

Sometimes you just have to relax and smile while the strange things of this world in general, and politics in particular, pass you by.

Meattikus Pieakkonos

That distant moon, that vicious glare, what mind could hide in its metal heart?

Puhi

2011-10-18T11:01:00.003+02:00

The neighbour's cat keeps trying to occupy my bed. He sneaks in while I'm in the bathroom.

Deep Purple Worm

2011-10-16T16:25:00.001+02:00

A bit more fantasy work ... isn't it pretty? :)

Map of Svetopetrograd

2011-10-13T20:25:00.001+02:00

Now this is just a gorgeous map of my campaign setting. And it's my own work. So it's pretty. And you should like it. So there!

The Land of Fire in Ice

2011-10-12T18:28:00.005+02:00

I suppose I should post this here as well :). This is the result of some playing around with a few new pen nibs and a session of photoshopping. Pretty, no? :)

Sandworm - Night and Day

2011-09-30T09:29:00.000+02:00

It's obvious that since by night you don't see the wormsign, the little blighters manage to sneak up muuuuch closer to you. Obviously it's the same species though, just look at the typical tooth arrangement!

Dragon Whisperer

2011-09-28T10:53:00.002+02:00

I just couldn't draw only dark pictures for a whole 30-day ... umm ... month. :)

"Shhh ... don't look now, but there's a monster drooling on your shoulder."

Dark Divinity

2011-09-22T12:51:00.004+02:00

Take the hand of god and eat its flesh, partake of the glory and the bloodshed, the eternal life and the inquisition, the resurrection and the jihad. Hail the red fruit of imaginary supernatural authority, the serpent of abnegated responsibility.

Dark Cross

2011-09-21T12:40:00.000+02:00

Sometimes a leap of faith may be required, unfortunately it often results in strange superstitions.

NOTE: Also I've killed off the Facebook "like" button because it took too much space, was superfluous (heck, if you really like something, share it), and it messed up my little Google+ button.

Dark Butterfly

2011-09-20T12:37:00.001+02:00

A little bonus, if you're not just a posterous follower. The rotated version of the cocoon. :)

Mind Map Art

2011-09-12T07:57:00.004+02:00

I just came across a really nice site, thanks to Mitja Mavsar and FaceTubTM. So I'm sharing it wiv' you here. Anyone have any clue how to make the TM superscript, btw?

Mind Map Art

This is one of their mindmaps on how to focus, and I highly recommend it. For myself as well.

Now to wander off into the mists like Lud.

Snake on Fish

2011-09-04T16:50:00.001+02:00

Yesterday while fishing with typical success (i.e. catching nothing), I stumbled across a grass snake wrestling a little bullhead on the pebble beach. Unfortunately I scared the snake and it hid under the rock at left, leaving the fish gawping for water. I tried waiting for the snake to come out and finish off the fish, so I could take a photo, but its fear seemed to outweigh its hunger. In the end, despairing of the snake showing for a photo opp I just placed the stunned fish back in the river, where it swam off after a while..

Beyond the Stick

2011-09-04T13:15:00.003+02:00

The stick was good. The rabbit seemed better.

Debt Dragon Burns

2011-08-26T12:36:00.001+02:00

It's really quite fantastic
to watch the politicians
wave their magic stick
and speak their mealy puns

pretend the dragon's tamed
and the rot been stopped
none of them seem shamed
so many jobs been chopped

they're still feeding in the trough
ain't by a long shot had enough.

Medium: traditional media with ball-point pens and such.

Deep thoughts for dark nights with scissors for company and wool for the cold. The block is optional.

Mystery Tortoise

Unlike Tiba, animals you draw, tend to pose.

Dark Zebra

2011-07-30T22:09:00.001+02:00

Some say the white's on the black, others the black's on the white. From what I've learned of zoology, I hold with those who favor white, but in a pinch, black is just as great and should suffice.

Join the Army

Ovca 'z Bovca

2011-07-22T12:01:00.001+02:00

There are sneaky plans afoot in the Slovenian government to turn over the Soča valley to hydro-electric power companies. For this reason they added an almost hidden 565th article to the new energy law, opening it up for development. I bet some folks pocketed a packet for this pickle, but still ... How can you be so amateurish? So obviously trying to pass one over everyone? In the middle of the summer holidays, a final article at the end of a bill you hoped nobody would read. Bastards. Not just bastards, but stupid and obvious bastards.

I'm putting this one out with a CC license - BY NC SA.

Enjoy.

Totally Absent

I'm at Metal Camp 2011 and incapable of drawing ...

See you in a week!

T-shirt going ahead

2011-07-05T21:39:00.000+02:00

So, I'm finally getting a few of these tees printed ... mostly just for me and my friends. Hopefully they'll make it before the end of the festival. Unfortunately, they'll probably be in men's sizes only ... vistaprint only has white women's tees.

Anyway, should you want some for the metal camp, let me know ... like ... soon. Because I'll order them tomorrow.

Heavy Morbid Sky

Summer and Rainbows with Sheep

2011-06-21T12:44:00.001+02:00

Enjoy! If you have a small resolution, you can even set this as yer background.

The Missing Slovenish Vowel

2011-06-20T16:19:00.001+02:00

Here's a handy reminder, that Slovenish has a very common vowel that it doesn't write. Along with translations for a few monosyllabic words that look asyllabous and vowel-free in their natural environment ... but aren't, they're just mimicking random assortments of consonants.

Buy Ze Crowes

2011-06-17T10:44:00.001+02:00

I wants it too, but I can't buy it till next week.

Panspermia with Sheep

2011-06-14T14:11:00.001+02:00

The vast cosmos lay empty and still, not a creature stirred, not a plant photosynthesized, not a single astrophage fed upon the stars ... until the cosmic egg finally came to fruition, ensconced and save within the the Giant White Sheep Ovymir. Then, from the woolen strands of the Giant White Sheep the strings of creation were spun and twanged until life emerged from the 8 invisible dimensions ...

Heavy Metal Corvus

2011-06-08T21:06:00.001+02:00

It's a full bone jacket heavy metal crow. :) I think it's kinda cute.

Paleo Hamster is Out

2011-06-08T14:37:00.001+02:00

Well, since the shirts ain't secret anymore, this is what'll be showin' on them!

Salmo Head

2011-06-04T13:13:00.001+02:00

So I was thinking to myself, have I seen enough marble trouts to draw a head from memory? You be the judge. This might be kinda weird, because I had no reference to guide me.

Flying so high, in that pretty blue sky, hunting birds, hunting mice, it's balloon cat and he's all nice.

Snoopy Cat

Freedom Wolf

2011-05-17T10:26:00.001+02:00

Too long have the sheep oppressed the people with their fuzzy coats and muttony chops. Too long have the ungulates kept the people down. Arise, arise, o animals and follow the wolf who has your best interests at heart. The red avantguarde will bring you freedom and plenty a-plenty, an end to puns and a new beginning, a life of freedom from toil and brotherhood among animals, etc. etc. and many other prophecies as well!

A Compleat Hamstrology

2011-05-12T13:42:00.000+02:00

Upon the fileventh of Maundsymonth the high-hamstrologist, liver-readers, knuckle-chewers, star-grazers and silt-chuckers gathered in the stormy uplands of the Dirty Wash River to settle once and for all the True and Rightly Compleat disposition of the holy celestial and cthonic signs as first indicated by the First Hamster of Apopodia, the fine and righteous Bobisque von Unterhöppen.

Also, this is just a composite of all the hamstrology pics, for easier viewing :).

Bird King Preening

2011-05-11T15:08:00.002+02:00

He stood upon his royal throne branch, cloak aflutter in the wind, the gleaming crown of dark, burnished saphidian iron upon his brow casting fear and love into the hearts of his featheriferous subjects.

From the Vaults: Eye Flier

2011-05-10T15:40:00.001+02:00

Triquetra

This symbol is called a triquetra. Isn't that a cool name for three interlocking curves and a circle?

Time to move? Tumblr or Posterous?

2011-05-04T12:30:00.001+02:00

Good old Prekomorec here at Blogger seems to be getting a bit ... behind the times. Dunno, it just doesn't look as pretty as some of the things to be seen at Tumblr and Posterous, so I'm going to be trialling those two platforms over the next few days.

So far Posterous definitely seems much simpler, but some of the Tumblr blogs and social features seem prettier. We'll see, we'll see.

Update 1: 04.05.2011 ~> for now Posterous is looking much simpler, plus it lets viewers see full size images.

How A T-shirt Design Gets Made - pt. 1

2011-05-03T22:40:00.001+02:00

A heptagram, double paths, different stroke thicknesses.

The overlaps marked in green are going to be doubled, stroked, etc.

Overlaps, can't have too many overlaps in this occulty stuff.
This is now just 4 main layers of stuff, 2 red and 2 black.

The circle turns it from a heptagram to a heptacle.

Now to add a bit more stuff to the middle ...

And more overlaps for the pentagram.

Adjusted the line thicknesses and now it's a pentacle in a heptacle.

Going for a Slayer feel with this one, hand-lettered on a computer,
but I see I'm gonna have to modify the Ms and Ns a bit.

Or maybe the full version is just too crowded. Time to sleep on it.

Hugster T-shirts!

C-Beams in the Dark of HAL

2011-05-03T11:10:00.000+02:00

Freedoms is like that ... you feel like you can't do without it, until you realize it's actually air, water and food you can't do without. Actually, there's a whole lot of things in life we think are absolutely indispensable, until the moment the vast cosmick gulf of infinity starts jamming it's frigid fingers down into our lungs and reminding us that time and air are running out, like sand off the sand-falls of Alpha Orionis e.

Shot Through the Head

2011-05-02T12:59:00.000+02:00

Bon Jovi is like a latter-day Nostradamus, almost-but-not-quite foretelling Osama's reported death by headshot.

"An angel's smile is what you sell
you promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
when passion's a prison, you can't break free

Whoa!
You're a loaded gun
yeah, whoa...
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done"

Sinsheep Lust and Envy

2011-04-27T10:36:00.000+02:00

I'll be frank, I've never really gotten the deal with the seven deadly sins. I always thought, dunno, hurting people, killing people, theft, rape, etc. were the bad things ... but no, the things that get you condemned to hell are thought crime. Thinking bad thoughts is worse than doing bad things, because you might be doing bad things for a higher cause - like because God or an infallible Pope told you to do them.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, I did not know better, I am fallible, and thus I thought God would tell his own once we slaughtered all these potential heretics.

Of course, I don't mean to single out any particular religion here. The last half-century has furnished us with plenty examples of other religions, from Communism to Islam, which have gotten up to terrible things in the name of a higher cause. And still a bit of lust is considered a deadly sin. Huh.

Sinsheep Gluttony

2011-04-25T09:22:00.000+02:00

Om Nom Nom. Tribute to suicide bunny, too.

Sinsheep Pride

2011-04-24T10:46:00.000+02:00

Just three more deadly sins to go, should be done before the holy days pass by. Praise be to the lamb of seven horns who was sheared to death only to be re-born and re-wooled.

Greed is God

2011-04-23T18:31:00.000+02:00

It's not a typo, it's an Easter-based mis-quote. Now bleat, bleat with capitalist sheep, and enjoy the day that pig's get 'etted, while the baa-baa brigade takes over the two-legs better committee.

The Cat Nessie of Cheshire ... just dig that grin ... is a rare species of acquatic serpentinous and pisciferous feline.

Catchbugkitty

2011-04-15T11:11:00.000+02:00

The insect's dead, compound eyes looked at him invitingly, tempting, teasing, wheedling, demanding that he play the bloody game again.
