It’s Friday

00 comments

First of all, a quick thank you to everyone supporting Kplx on Patreon (Opens in a new window) and Steady (Opens in a new window). Your support allows me to keep the website completely ad-free. It also genuinely motivates me to keep drawing and pushing new ideas forward every week.

I’ve also joined Cara (Opens in a new window), a platform built specifically for illustrators, artists, and creators. What makes it stand out is its clear focus on handcrafted artwork. No overwhelming AI content, no noise, just real drawings by real people. If you’re an illustrator yourself or simply enjoy following authentic creative work, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Space Cop Diary continues. Go check it out before boredom gets the upper hand. Although… well, just see for yourselves. I’m slowly finding the rhythm of the story and getting more comfortable with the pacing and tone. The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you for that. It’s especially encouraging to hear that the rough, sketchy drawings are not only accepted but actually preferred over heavily polished versions.

You’re also very welcome to join InkFriday. The current prompts are available on kplx.art (Opens in a new window). If you feel like drawing, just pick a word and create whatever comes to mind. No pressure, just ink and ideas.

This week’s drawings:

ALT-Text (DE): Tuschezeichnung auf A4: Ein Chamäleon sitzt auf einem Ast und hat das Karomuster des Collegeblocks angenommen, auf dem es gezeichnet ist. Das Karomuster zieht sich über den Körper des Tieres und verbindet Motiv und Papier visuell. Neben dem Chamäleon liegt ein gezeichneter Füller, links ist die Spiralbindung des Collegeblocks zu sehen. ALT text (EN): Ink drawing on A4: A chameleon sits on a branch and has adopted the grid pattern of the college notebook it is drawn on. The checkered pattern runs across the animal’s body, visually merging subject and paper. A drawn fountain pen lies next to the chameleon, and the spiral binding of the notebook is visible on the left. (Opens in a new window)

ALT Text (EN) A black-and-white ink illustration showing a window with a windowsill. Beyond the window is outer space. An astronaut sits outside in the universe, leaning against the windowsill and reading a book. A cup of hot coffee rests on the windowsill, with steam rising into space and blending with the surrounding cosmic void like mist. ⸻ ALT Text (DE) Schwarz-weiße Tuschezeichnung eines Fensters mit Fensterbank. Hinter dem Fenster erstreckt sich das Universum. Ein Astronaut sitzt außen im Weltraum an der Fensterbank und liest ein Buch.

– Good Coffee (Opens in a new window)

Black-and-white ink drawing of a huge, overly complex coffee machine covered in pipes, gauges, and valves. Two very small people stand next to it. The person on the left delivers a long monologue in a large speech bubble: “I’ve spent over thirty years refining this machine. Every bean begins in the bean classification array. Weight, color, density. Even the slightest deviation is removed. In the rotational alignment module, each bean is rotated sixteen times and its fiber structure precisely aligned. The aqua refinery unit filters and remineralizes the water, stabilizing it at exactly 94.2 degrees Celsius. Within the pressure regulation core, brewing pressure is calibrated in stages and continuously monitored. After exactly three minutes, every variable is accounted for. The result is good coffee. That’s it.” The person on the right replies in a small speech bubble: “I prefer instant coffee.” (Opens in a new window)

Thanks for following along.

Have a great weekend.
