What is it actually that I want to become? To this day I am not entirely sure, but I always come back to the same conclusion. No fancy stuff, no fancy lifestyle. I just want to exist and just....live! For many it may seem boring. That is fine with me.^^ You can choose!

Currently reading "Astrophysics for people in a hurry" by Neil degrasse Tyson. So far I love it very much and it lets me focus on the book only, without any distractions! #bookworm #reading #Astrophysics #theuniverse #NeilDegrasseTyson

A #fractal rendering in Mandelbulb3D I did with very contrasty lighting, which would be used for more minimalistic paint-overs in Photoshop. Probably gonna do more of these in different shapes and perspectives. #fractallandscape #environmentart #conceptart

Wishing you a nice weekend. Gonna continue reading and feed my brain with stuff about space and time. :D

At the moment experiencing a wave of anxiety about my future and feeling overwhelmed. Things all freelancers get at some point and it always will be part of it. Still learning to deal with it, although I do this for 11 years now.

Now available in paperback, ebook, and Kindle Unlimited! “MechWarrior meets The Road.” “Old Testament Gothic is back!” “A visionary sci-fi coming of age story.”

Hello people, I am at this time more focused on doing cover commissions. That is why it got a bit more quieter here. So I am gonna post new covers soon. Cheers, Daniel

I am also actively researching and reaching out to authors, that I want to help with bringing their worlds to life and getting to know their needs. Eventually, I am also gonna reach out to publishing houses, just to spread the name, but mainly focusing on self-publishing.

Inbetween work I am also updating my website with insights on books I worked on, such as thumbnails, moodboard and step by step work in progress shots, as well as all the requested end formats like paperback, ebook and web formats.
