Last 48 hours of the Kickstarter campaign for #hardcover2025 - and final chance to grab the Retro edition, with extra 112 pages!
My last preview from the book: "Trickster". I think my favorite out of the 3 pieces I was lucky to have featured.
#hardcoverbooks are a project by @hardcoverart.com

Dzięki! <3 Taa, kryzys w branży dalej ostro.. ale mam nadzieję, że u Ciebie ogólnie ok?
Some extra crops and sketch. Overworking lines and details is a relaxing guilty pleasure of mine ;)
“Whispers in Gold” - a small preview of another piece for #hardcoverbooks published by @hardcoverart.com
An homage to Belle Epoque, burlesque and cabarets. You can pre-order the artbook now!
This piece is a part of “Reverie Noir” series I’m working on.

Some sketches and a close up here :)
I had the pleasure of working on 3 pieces for the new #hardcover2025 edition by @hardcoverart.com!
Full of uncensored art by fantastic artists, this year's theme is RETRO. Which rocks, as I wanted to pay homage to #burlesque vibes.
Just crops here for obvious reasons — more to come! :)
Thank you! ☀️
Thank you, I really appreciate it! ♥️ I thought I kinda overworked it and was afraid it felt too “plastic” in the end 😅
Thank you so much! <3
♥️ Thanks again! Sorry for the lag, we had a personal emergency and I was out of social media for a few days. But honestly, your designs and style are reallllly inspiring! 🌟
Wow, thank you so much for this reaction! Made my evening after a lousy day ♥️♥️♥️ I personally call it “overdetailing and never knowing when to stop” 🙃 I’m so happy you like it! ✨
Final vs #sketch vs clean #lineart - at first I wanted lineart to be more visible and color shading rather flat in the final piece, but got carried away with lips and makeup, and the rest followed 😅
#procreatetimelapse - lots of changes in this one, lots of time spent on a few versions of lineart, couldn’t decide how the bird(s) should look, changed her outfit and background idea a few times. I’ll upload longer version to YT later, but quick one here works better. I think?
Angeliz, a cyberpunk witch, @kjetll.bsky.social’s character for #kjetll07dtiys. Gotta say I *love* her design, and it was great to revisit goth vibes and come back to my roots 😎 Gotta do this more often.
More info, sketches and #artprocess below.

Fajnie Cię tu widzieć! I dziękuję za follow, taki mini achievement dla mnie, bo śledzę Cię jeszcze od czasów Secret Service i Osiedla Swoboda ;)
Thank you for hosting! I’m still learning things here, so I hope I’m not replying in the wrong place 😅
A mix of my older pieces, from 2010 - 2020 or so.
Lots of really nice artworks in this one so far 🌺

Oh, I love the style! 🌟
Oh, I love it! I plan to post here some #ArtInspiration and #ArtResources - so tagging it in case someone will browse the future posts by these, looking for more. Fantastic project! ♥️
Fun bit of trivia - I quickly fixed the eyes in this version. You can see on previous photos I’ve drawn them blue and brown. I only later learnt how and why his eyes really looked ;)
Not important. The Dreamers are important! ✨
2016 portrait of David Bowie drawn with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils.
Making of pictures and a photo of a finished piece. Crappy camera back then, so crappy quality ;)
It’s David Bowie’s birthday! And also my Grandma’s. He passed away in 2016, and she in 2022. I miss them both for various reasons, they were great inspirations.
Throwback to an old piece I’ve drawn then. Traditional #coloredpencils - I really miss having time to explore this medium more.
Thank you! ☺️
Dziękuję! <3 Moim problemem za to jest zawsze kiedy przestać wykańczać 😅
#procreatetimelapse - mostly one brush + symmetrical perspective tool for background drawing
Steampunk Art Nouveau Mucha inspired poster illustration
Happy New Year! 🎉
I think this one’s finished. Definitely spent a bit too much time detailing, but it is a guilty pleasure of mine ;)

Almost there, but not yet. Now onto final polish. Uploading another preview, so there’s a whole process here, in one thread ;)
Went with neon, still a work in progress. Surprisingly going for flat colors but with more texture and gradient is tricky. I keep changing a lot, repainting small details of the lineart too. The face on that oversaturated background will be interesting to polish ;) But I like hard contrasts.
Colours are gonna be tricky for this one.. Can’t decide between very vintage or a with a hint of something neon popping out 🤔
