@nicetriangle These are wonderful. Do you have an online store link or instagram link? @wendinoakland Thanks Wendy! Yeah I'm on instagram at http://instagram.com/nicetriangles and I have a web shop with some prints at http://nicetriangle.com/shop   @nicetriangle They have such a strong European vibe! Do you accept commissions? I'm running a newsletter on European topics and this style would strongly fit, I think. @rafa_font Thank you! Indeed this stuff is Euro inspired. I'm from the states but I live in Amsterdam and these are based on photos I took in Portugal, Italy, and Spain. And yes I do take commission work, but I'm booked up or traveling for the rest of the year so I won't have any openings until about mid January. @nicetriangle Lucky you :) I'll send you a message through your website to let you know more and to ask you about a price range to see if it fits my budget.  @nicetriangle beautiful work! Especially like the snowy landscapes you posted previously as well. @jbenjamint Thanks man! I've been wanting to revisit those snowy landscapes. I had an idea for a series where I drew neat kinda sci fi looking research stations and stuff situated in really desolate looking arctic landscapes like those. I was just reminded about the idea yesterday when I stumbled on a picture of this really crazy looking research station India has down in Antarctica. Looks so unreal. @nicetriangle love that style - getting the feeling the designer of that base was a Thunderbirds fan. @nicetriangle Those are gorgeous! Enough that I dug through this damn UI to figure out how to follow.  I saw your art on r/malaga! It is pretty wonderful. Love your style. Great eye for capturing the spirit of the places. Say... Why not go full Fedi and open an account on Pixelfed too?: @Bro666 Thanks man, really appreciate it. I actually did (probably still do?) have Pixelfed account kicking around, I just remember that the site ran really badly a couple years ago and it was pretty dead for content. Has it improved much since then? It works fine: solid and stable. As for content, it is no Instagram! But that is up to us the users to correct, right? Also: perfect integration Pixelfed <-> Mastodon. Speaking selfishly, I don't use Instagram (or FB, or Threads, or X, or... You get the idea: I am one of _those_ people), but would definitely like to see your new projects in my feed. @Bro666 cool I'll have to dust off that pixelfed account and give it another spin some time soon. Instagram has not been so great for me for the last year, I miss what it used to be a lot   @nicetriangle Oh woah those city landscape are absolutely my art vibe, feel free to share more!  @CWilbur thanks! this is digital, I use an app called procreate and then usually do a little color adjustment and texture stuff at the end in photoshop   @nicetriangle Hot dang!!👀✨ AMAZING architecture paintings - I really love the perspective & color tones in each piece! 😘👌 Also: welcome back! 🥳 I hope you're able to find/help build a supportive community of excellent people, & an appreciative audience to boot! 🙌🎉    @nicetriangle Welcome back ;). @nicetriangle Hey Isaac, I use Elk.zone, for instance, which I find to be more like old school Twitter than X, without the cursed algorithm. @KraftTea ah yeah I've tried Elk in the past, it's not bad. I don't much have an issue with the mastodon interface, I was mainly just struggling to find "my people" last time around. Seems like the ex twitter art community is fractured across several platforms now. I guess we'll see how it goes 🤞      @nicetriangle Wow, beautiful tone and... I probably don't know the right words... feeling? atmosphere? That's a really special approach/skill you've developed there. @sidawson Thanks man! Yeah I think atmosphere or feeling works to describe illustrations.   @nicetriangle  @nicetriangle those would be perfect covers for Mary Stewart's suspense novels  @nicetriangle @villares that is nice! Welcome to the #fediverse :blobBone_jump: @nicetriangle@mastodon.social you might want to try one of the fediverse instances that cater to creatives like @mastodon.art. You might get more reach there.   @Marrekoo thank you! the reference photo for one of them was shot with a wide angle lens which was fun to try to wrap my head around  @nicetriangle these are pretty cool! To me they also look like an antidote to the overwhelming wave of art imitation by AI. @isagalaev thanks! I’m really shooting for my stuff to have that imperfect human touch. Little sloppy and expressive but in a way that feels inviting    |
@nicetriangle these are delightful! Thanks for sharing.
