tor, soleil, fritz, and basil (listed from left to right) sitting around a table in a colorful midcentury living room and chatting happily karl-peter in a run-down urban environment with smog and abandoned buildings, having just hopped out of his tiny blue car, wearing a shocked expression as if alarmed by a strange noise lena sitting in front of a red stage curtain, gazing coolly towards the viewer as she rests her hand upon a cheetah’s back

they do sell some color catalogs (in the form of pdfs including the colors/values, pics of their sources, and some context for each one)! colorlab also comes with this huge chart showing every color you can make using its brushes

fritz, a young man wearing a sailor shirt and shorts, standing with his hands behind his back and looking up. he is drawn without a mouth. surrounding him are many eyes in different shapes, sizes, and colors, all staring in his direction.

a vintage-style illustration of fritz, a young man with light skin and fluffy dark blond hair wearing a sailor shirt and shorts, making a peace sign with his fingers and looking at the viewer with a half-lidded smile. in the background, wavy lines emanate from the center, containing various patterns in yellow, blue, and burgundy.

The top right shows an illustration of Hornby Island Azhdarchids. The middle left shows a cliff overlooking the ocean, with bird-like silhouettes flying above. The middle right shows a shoreline of the ocean, with bird-like tracks in the sand. The bottom left shows an illustration of a raven. The bottom right shows a formline illustration of a Hornby Island Azhdarchid in flight. A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top. A formline design of a hyena. The hyena is walking, with one back leg and one front leg raised, and it's back is arched forward, with a mane on it. It's head is tilted downward. The whole piece is coloured a near black with maroon and yellow-orange highlights, and the background is a solid bright orange.

a glimpse into the bleak little office begrudgingly shared by comrades karl-peter schmidt and lena volkova, aka “the dollhouse”. fritz gets to come in too sometimes

#art #artsky #ocsky #illustration #retro #vintage
a line drawing of an office interior, looking in as if one wall has been cut away. its caption reads «the dollhouse». on the far side of the room, two desks with various objects scattered atop them are situated in a corner. one faces a wall with two framed portraits, and the other faces a window positioned just high enough to be out of reach. in the other corner, a map hangs on the wall next to the door. on the side closer to the viewer, there is an L-shaped countertop with objects including a rotary phone and a potted plant. a calendar hangs on the wall close to it. a waste bin and a large cabinet filled with folders stand next to the countertop.
