Two photos showing 18 illustrated postcards. The designs range from fan art for the games Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong, to imaginative vehicles in the air, on the water, and on sandy dunes. Nature scenes depicting new life coming to life and misty marshes. A range of creatures, from cute to creepy. Each one is made on a small postcard using ink. The ink was applied with a classic dip pen, a G-pen or a bamboo dip pen.

All together! The entire Inktober 2025 captured in two photos, featuring the 28 postcard illustrations. Pencil sketches have been scattered around over the past months.

This is a picture of an illustration in postcard size. The pen used to create it lies on the card. It is a bamboo ink pen, with both pointed ends smeared with ink.

This is an illustration for the game Silksong. The known characters are arranged in a pillar-like formation. They are heading towards a light at the top.

Silksong was my game of the year in 2025. This is the last picture of Inktober, and we're playing the new German translation on stream. Come and join us!

An ink illustration showing row upon row of empty houses. They are fading in the morning fog. A young man stands on an overgrown hill opposite and watches the houses bathed in light. Some of the windows are boarded up, while higher up, broken windows allow curtains to flow in the wind from the empty house.

After one week of travelling. Let's finally end this.
Anyone searching for stories is welcome to explore the vacant house.

There are thirty-one animal sketches in this collage. Each animal is a different colour and they are arranged in a rainbow order. The group's shape resembles a heart.

The whole animalmarch in one picture. A different colour every day.

This is an illustration of a snowy owl. The owl is ready to catch its prey. It wears a fringed coat under its wings, complete with a little bell on the knot of the bands. The coat is fringed at the end and has a pattern of winter trees. Its wings are wide open.

The last day of the animalmarch. Snowy owl. I love owls! A majestic bird with fluffy legs and sharp claws.

A light sketch of a female Asian elephant standing on her hind legs. She has little wings that support her. She looks delighted and happy to be weightless.

This female Asian elephant feels light and floaty, with her little wings and almost upright stance.

One of two almost identical illustrations of a curious pangolin and a little beanowl. In the second picture, the pangolin can be seen giving the owl a friendly lick while hanging down from an invisible branch.

The names of ancient and modern pangolins describe them quite well. They are clad in scales and can roll up. The rest involves digging and licking, as they describe.

This is an illustration of an ocean sunfish front facing the viewer. The shading reveals the bulky bumps on his body. His chest fins are spread out as he swims slowly and harmoniously.

The German translation of 'sunfish' is 'moonfish'. They sunbathe, although it's unclear why, and they resemble a full moon floating on the surface. ☀️🌕

An illustration of a sly hyena. It has a nervous smirk. It has big paws and thin legs. Its eyes have an innocent and sad quality to them. However, its ears are forward-facing and curious. What is it looking at? What is it thinking?

Did you know? Hyenas are more closely related to cat like animals than to dogs and wolves. Perhaps this one is planning something. Like a cat. Like knocking cups and glasses off tables.

This is a sketch illustration of a little green bird. The greenjay has short, round wings. It is striking a dance pose with its wings and legs spread wide. He has a small smile around his beak. It has dynamic, flowing tail feathers.

A bright greenjay on the dance floor. This cheerful little bird wishes you all a good day!

This sketch shows the little knight fighting an enormous shield bug. The giant creature swings its claws wildly arround its belly and chest to protect the parts of its body not covered by its big, sturdy shell.

Shield bugs are tough opponents. Good luck cracking down this hard shell little Knight.

Proud Cormorant illustration. Is it just me, or does it look like he's about to fall over? The crown is probably too heavy. He has a smug expression and smooth, clean feathers. Light from above hits him like a saint. Pure arrogance!

All hail me and all the fish to me! This proud cormorant probably thinks that. There are only 8 days to go of animalmarch.

An illustration of an elegant black-nosed sheep. It has a dreamy, mysterious look in its eyes as it goes about its business. What is its goal? Healing or tragedy? Small flask-shaped heads peek out from around the collar and waist band.

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
Blacknose sheep with an air of mystery arround it.
It hides some flasks under it's woll, and perhaps even more.

Sketch Illustration of a dynamic drawn part of a sardine swarm. The fishes are drawn in different angles swimming up.

Todays animal are Pilchard and Sardine.
I wanted to make something that shows the swarm but not just little dots on the canvas.

This is a sketch of a pigeon wearing small cloth armour and a helmet. Its claws are covered with small pieces of metal. The pigeon is in mid-flight and looks at the viewer.

These days, we should show a lot more respect to pigeons. After all, pigeons saved a lot of lives in the past. They some real heroes.

This is an illustration of a narwhal. It is surrounded by flowing bands that resemble water. The narwhal's soft, light belly is visible. The shading is created using small symbols and ellipses.

Did you know? The narwhal's horn is not actually a horn. It's a tusk, like those of a boar or elephant. Females narwhals have two of them.

A sketch of a nimble little elephant shrew dashing across the floor.

Like this little elephant shrew, I was on the road today. With its movements, this little animal is more like a deer than a rodent.

Sketch illustration of a shoebill. He bow before the watcher wars his little shoes over claws and a little bowtie. His eyes are closed and he has a small smile visible. Or it's just the shape of his beak.

This fine gentleman welcomes you to the third week of #animalmarch. The shoebill's bow is a sign of acceptance and an invitation to come closer.

This is a picture of a traditional gouache illustration. It depicts a twilight scene with a warm, glowing ramen soup shop. Cats wander around the shop on their way home. Inside the shop, a big cat serves a bowl of ramen soup to another cat. Vegetables are stacked in boxes at the side of the shop. Behind the boxes, a small cat peers out, looking for something. Behind the shop, a pink, glowing window is visible, and on the roof, a little barn owl is perched.

Simple sketch illustration of a cat with blue pen lines. She looks up like she wants to ask something. I wonder if she would ask for food? Or pets? Give her a pet when you see her.

Today is a little special. I have the sketch of the Day. A Cat.
And a commission I had the pleasure of completing for @lydstar.bsky.social a cat ramen shop.

A sketch of a cold-blooded horse that appears sturdy in proportion, as if it had short, thick legs. The legs are muscular and have a tuft of fur at the bottom. The neck is also significantly broader and more powerful, supporting a large, strong head. The sketch is made with a cold blue color and a light fluid pencil movement.

Today, the Sketch is a cold-blooded horse, or a heavy horse. These calm giants were used to pull carts and carriages. Their heavy, muscular legs and bodies were well-suited to heavy work.

This sketch illustration shows a Bomberfly diving through rainy weather. On its back is a small piece of luggage and Hornet, which is clinging onto the bomberfly's fluffy, dense fur.

Like Hornet on my Sketch of the Day, I had a long and turbulent journey today. She travels on a fluffy Bombyliidae or Beefly or Bomberfly (Wollschweber).

Illustration of a comic rock hyrax that goes in the mines. He wears his little overall and pickaxe. The mood is quite sour he really has no interest in work but has to go. This animal has no claws and flat paws with 3 toes on back legs and 4 on front legs.

The mines are calling. He just looks like he's not in the mood. The rock hyrax. ('^v^) Here is my little Rock potato for today.

The Illustration show an ethereal creature of holy status. A lizard with crested head and back with its head held high and mighty. Nothing can bring him down! The plumed basilisk has some really funny names. I wonder where it got some of those?

Ok todays animal has alot of names in english. The plumed basilisk who is also called the green basilisk, double crested basilisk, or Jesus Christ lizard. ( ^v^)
