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/

Silent Sunday 🪐

A vast blue purple alien sci-fi landscape. In the front you can see a landing station with a spaceship and two drivers taking a break, enjoying the view. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Speedpainting-29032021-875020366

Silent Sunday 💫

An alien planet (blue, purple, red, orange, yellow colors) with giant city statues (slender, wearing long clothes) reaching far, far away, probably looking similar to their inhabitants. Everything is powered by the planet in the distance. The statue's arms are reaching out to it, to protect but more likely to worship their source. A river guides us through this scenery, where we can meet the residents in their villages. Some of them live and work on these ancient statues. This landscape is surrounded by rounded arches reaching into the galaxy, unveiling a glowing alien language we can't decode yet. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Speedpainting-18122025-1276657153

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/.

Silent Sunday 💫

Three of Coins. Three white golden-winged ants flying before a sacred church. With teamwork, they can fulfill their potential and achieve success. Two coins are already attached to the earthly sacred building. The third most previous coin is put on the wall by the youngest ant, the apprentice. While the other two help with their knowledge and guidance. In the sky, we can see the universe; dreams can come true when we work together.

World Turtle Day 💚

It shows a hard-working but slow-moving turtle that works all day. It has a whole medieval town on its shell. Wearing a helmet and armor on its feet. You can rely on this strong-willed, trustworthy, and ambitious knight. Though, not familiar with leisure time or fun. Very disciplined. Keeping routines to be a true perfectionist. Surrounded by plants and colorful cobblestones. This is the 48th card of my deck in development https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Knight-of-Coins-954564602.

Silent Sunday 🌟 #art #tarot #krita

The King of Coins card is depicted in the form of a Watusi bull. This bull is rich, stable, and successful. Covered with gold and other precious metals of the planet Earth, symbolized in the coin above its head. Obsessed with power the king goes beyond earthly riches therefore the universe surrounds this animal with glowing stars and colorful milky ways. Above the coins, we can find the astronomical bull symbol holding horns and coins majestically together. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/King-of-Coins-969260255

🔥 🌿 Here are also some WIP & detail images of Resolute Raccoon #art

Process of Resolute Raccoon
I. One of a few renders (side view) - created with Blender
II. Creating the Keys:
a.I've painted the designs in Krita, black on white background
b. Then I loaded the image into Inkscape. Under Path > Trace Bitmap I've turned the .png into an .svg.
c.Imported the .svg to Blender. I only kept the handles (extruded the designs) and modeled the rest of the key in Blender.
III. Every key was one by one placed by hand.
IV. Three detail images (raccoon, lamp/fire light, flower)
V. The final artwork (56 days of work) was painted with Krita.

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

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).
