Currently I work daily on my lines, with colors, shading and much more exercises to improve my art.

So, being on my way to the next level I will post different artwork that won't be "perfect" from my point of view but I like to show you the progress.

Today I painted a hippopotamus with its mouth wide open. I really like these animals and how much power they have. They are often named the most dangerous animal because it always fights with everyone in its territory.

First I sketched different poses of crocodiles and hippos and then added detail to my favorite one. Then I used a nice brushset and painted in Krita as almost always, preparing a palette by watching many photos and started painting.

At the end I know my mistakes with this piece but I am happy enough about it to show here.

Do you see the mistakes? Or do you like just watching art?
And do you also try new things currently?

Created by me. No ai.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦛🍞 Pygmy #hippo Brötchen ("breadroll") was born May 9th at #Zoo #Berlin, a compact 6 kilos (~13 lbs) with skin oils that double as natural sunscreen.

She explores the outdoor enclosure with mother Debbie, while her wild relatives in #WestAfrica face #mining and #deforestation threats. Fewer than 2,500 adults remain.

Enfant 1: Sur le bateau, ils sont tous riches.
E2: Alors Hippomini ne reste pas! *enlève sa peluche*
E1: Hippomini est pauvre alors. Et lui aussi. *pointe du doigt*
E2: Noooon! Hippomini revient que si tout le monde a assez pour vivre.

Not exactly the most graceful creatures, hippos. Still, they command a certain respect being the second most deadly animal in Africa, behind the mosquito.

Es ist Montag, da brauchen manche ja vielleicht ein etwas dickeres Fell... ☺
Ich hab da mal was vorbereitet.

An unexpected twist from An Indian billionaire tries to save Escobar's hippos.

This whole thing is... pretty wild in the world right now. Everything is rupturing. So a play to save hippos is... kind of cool.

Just in case I have any followers in #Paisley or thereabouts, my band #HIPPO are playing The Bungalow in a couple of weeks, among an eclectic lineup. Tickets are cheap as chips, come see me hit some drums 😀

I feel the world would be a different place if it had been Pablo Picasso who decided to import himself a bunch of hippopotami.

Guess which one of these synonyms led me to run a synonym check on the article?

In order of appearance in the text:

hippos, feral pachyderms, hippos, animals, feral beasts, animals, hippos, hippo, individuals, hippos, hippos, water-dwelling pachyderms, large mammals, hippos, hippos, hippos, hippos, creatures, hippos, dangerous animals, hippos.

@leeloo @slink I think the Winchester Mystery House with its architectural curiosities illustrates well a #featurefactory product.

To all managers out there: don’t be a #hippo. If you hire experts, let them be experts.

@leeloo @slink To me, building a sustainable product means being able to say no to #featurefactory development processes. These “well-crafted” and extremely specific requirements (of course already including detailed solutions) often delivered by #hippo executives with absolutely no tech background will quickly destroy the product. Of course, it’s also challenging to have the freedom of saying no. Not easy with #opensource at all.
