Deviation Actions
After the previous journal entry had graced my dA profile for like a year and a half, I figured it's about time for a new one. Hopefully though my recent submissions have proved that I am indeed alive. And I can tell you that it feels good to finally have some new pieces up. Since June last year I have been working as a full time concept artist, and that left me pretty much no time for personal stuff. But I am having a great time at the job and I have learned so much and have in fact painted more than ever before. Lately I just got too fed up with having only my rather old pieces up, hence why I made the time for new ones. And I'm definitely happy that you guys are enjoying them, that's great encouragement. There are a good many more pieces in the pipeline, but I don't know yet when I will find the time to finish them.
The next couple of weeks will be rather chaotic for me and I will probably not be online much, so please don't take offense if I am not replying immediately. I will still read every comment. But life sure isn't boring these days.
Hope all of you are doing well!

Some of my recent paintings:
Wow, thanks for the feedback! 300k+ views!
Thank you everybody for the super positive feedback on my latest painting, A Royal Affair, and of course @lovelessdevotions for the Daily Deviation. I'm really glad you guys liked it, I know it's been a while since I last submitted something. In that regard, I am curious how you guys found out about that piece. It has a huge amount of views and it seems that a big part of that must have come from outside deviantArt...so if any of you came here that way, please comment, I'd love to know where you saw this! (Or if this is a glitch, please inform me!) Other than that I think I will begin to show studies and maybe sketches, but if you would like to see more of that, I strongly recommend you follow me on my instagram That aside, I hope everybody is okay and well these days? How are you guys dealing with our beloved worldsickness? Let me know! Much love :heart: Daniel Find me on: ArtStation - Instagram - Facebook
300k, Sketchbook, Social Media and general update!
So apparently it has been 8 years since I last posted a journal. Feels like a life time, even moreso on the internet. But since I just hit the 300k pageview mark I thought this
would be a good time to write a brief update. And first of all- thank you! To everybody who is still watching me and following my work, commenting or dropping by to say hello!
While overall activity on deviantArt seems to have gone down a lot and most people seem to have moved to facebook and instagram, I still check my messages here regularly, even if
I don't manage to get back to all of them.
That said, the above mentioned platforms have also become my main outlets
Life / Sketches / Contest
So I thought it's time for a new journal! Not that I have a whole lot of meaningful stuff to say, but I thought I'd let you know that I'm still alive, haha! I have been fairly busy with uni assignments lately, lots of annoying writing and attempting to reach minimum word counts, it really is quite dull. And I am working on a commission as well. But I cannot really complain too much, I am doing well :D
And while I may not have had the time to really do a painting, I've been actively filling pages of my sketchbook with little thumbnail sketches, playing around with different ideas for sceneries and perspectives more, which is heaps of fun. Mos
New speedpaintings and gallery clean-up, life
So as some of you may have noticed, I have started to upload a bunch of speedpaintings and sketches to my scraps. mynti (https://www.deviantart.com/mynti) persuaded me to show them :giggle: That way I can show you what I do to practise, especially things like seeing colour, values and shapes, and also the important bit about not getting carried away with details, haha.
Hand in hand with that I have cleaned out my gallery and moved some old pieces to scraps, as well. More will probably follow in due time. So the gallery got categories now and probably looks tidier :D
That have been quite a few pieces at once now to kick things off. In the future it will most likely go a
