day 886

 day 886. A "naruto elsa mix" ai image plus one of my tags. Not my most inspired day. 😅 

day 885

"If at first, you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you."

day 885. My "eins" piece in orange on an ai background. 🙂 

day 884

"Parallel lines have so much in common; it's a shame they'll never meet."

day 884. I finished my LINK817 project today and then made the daily board from it aswell. 🙂 I have left it for a couple days and it was well worth the wait. The comission includes a shirt design + a shirt in black. So only outlines on a dark background is always a challenge, but I am happy how it turned out, 

You will see the shirt soon.

Would you gone with blue, or what colour you would've liked on your shirt? 

btw I will more often start with one of these jokes in the beginning, because I found them hilarious. 🤣 but they are random and have nothing to do with the post below. Chat gpt is helping me with these. 

day 883

 day 883. I made this ai cutout for a shirt design. It will be paired with the LINK817 shirt. After I cut it out I used it for todays board. 

Just scaling up the same image and use it for the background always make for a great design, when your image does not quite fit the canvas.  🙂👍

I added my "dream" handstyle, wich I found pretty fitting. The Ai is my "jellyfish" project, where I still have some cool images to show. 

Stay tuned and I hope you enjoy day 883. 

day 882

day 882. I have digged out some older designs for the letterbook I am working on. This "dedication" design made it on todays board. With some extra letters stacked on top. 😁✍️

Special forces birds

🐦🐦🦆🐦

I tried to mix one of the new projects with a "special forces soldier" theme. Didn't work out, but it kind of refined what was already there. 🤔

day 881

day 881. I have been working on my letterbook and then I used one of the pages as a background for todays board. 

I made this simple sign/speechbubble added some shadows to it and added a handstyle of mine. 

Well I also used a deadpool clipart. My mom bought hundreds of these on etsy for a few bucks. So I took a deadpool and turned it green. I slapped a tag where his mouth would be. 

It's a good concept, foor maybe make a real board out of it, but I already would change some things. 

day 880

day 880. Today I digitalized my recent LINK817 sketch. Extracted the outlines, cut around them, to be able to have a dropshadow and then added some shadows on the letters aswell. I couldve added some highlights, but thats  something for another day. Then I made the daily board from it.  😁 Feels good to have something new, to put on boards. 

day 879

 day 879. Today I took one of the cutest puppies and epanded it to board length, so it fits perfectly. Then I added my "only hurt people hurt people" font. 

If you look closely I added the font in the background on the wall. tried to make it looks like old graffiti on the wall. 

cute pups

 My head is about to explode. Like 3 days in and it just stacks up. I have had like 5 breakthroughs today and this new "--stop 20" technique really starts unfold itself.  Just you wait. 😁
Here I tried puppies.

day 878

 day 878. Wanted to do a quick full ai board today, but I got inspired and added some tags and my dino graffiti.😅

I did made mad progress today on organizing the last bits. Left is only selecting the good ones and upscale them to 8k. but it's ALOT of images.  but I am getting there. 😬 

new ai

advancing and exploring the new techniques and ideas I started yesterday. 

I really shouldn't do this because I still have so much older ai to organize, but I can't help it. 😫

day 877

day 877. Today I did a full ai board with one of my ai burgers. On these burgers I tried to involve my graffiti into it, thats why the patty is green and has edges. 😅

I went outside and did alot of new letters today. 

focus

 

I will post more exclusive small insights on my facebook page from now on. I don't want to post in 3 different facebook profiles for every small news. So I decided to focus more on one thing and do it proper.

I will send all my friends an invite once. If you want, I would be happy to see you over there.  facebook.com/rhinosaurarts  I will probably compile them once a month and show them here on the website or something like that. It is just too time consuming to post everything everywhere. 

day 876

day 876. This one is kinda great. I took one of the new ai pictures I made yesterday and combined it with my tag and a handstyle in red. 

It was easy going, except I had to extend the image manually above and below to make it fit the canvas. So that involved some cloning, warping and erasing.  I really like today's concept. 😁

ai break over... kind of

Yesterday I did some ai. Trying out some ideas after a longer break.  All kinds of new projects coming sooner or later. The food images will get an extra post. It is a dope collaboration with my man lex. Stay tuned for that. 

See the full image line and get your daily dose of art. Also the website should look a bit cleaner now.

new pages for the letterbook

 Here are four more double pages for my letterbook.  
What do you think how much pages it should have in total? 
It can go from 30 to 200.  

day 875

day 875. Quick compilation board of my boards. 😬





still have these

some more ai. I decided to take it on and start to organize the huge huge pile of projects I still have. Here are 4 different projects I still have in store. 

day 874

day 874. noble truth sketch board. It is a good concept, but this one is a bit rushed today. 😇

day 873

day 873. Man I LOVE this one. 😁💚🥳

Its a rhino sketch, my rhinosaur morph and an orange dino throwup and a tag on a white board. I also placed a "dino" sketchline in the background but you can barely tell. 


day 872

day 872. I have made some more pages for my artbook, and here is an older alphabet, with my green dino on a board. 🙂

day 871

 day 871. Today I went back to my saurus sketch. I refined the outlines and overall polished it a bit. Now I have a coloured version where I can just switc out the colours and I have the only outline version. I leave it like that. It is good for what it is. 😊 

day 870

 day 870. For celebration purposes I made a naruto/elsa mix artbook skateboard design. 😬 

New artbook arrived

 It is finally here! 🤩

I present to you my first ai artbook containing and showcasing one full project. A mix between naruto and elsa enhanced and created with my graffiti as colourful influence for an unique look. And I am finally holding it in hands!

❗️PLUS I also have a little surprise for you. I made a FREE digital preview, where you can enjoy the first 20 pages of it. Also perfect for screensavers or for wallart or enhance your own ai art. 😉 You can just download it for free here.  [https://puzzlesbydino.com/de/products/ddd-digital-artbook-preview-naruto-elsa-mix-first-20-pages](https://puzzlesbydino.com/de/products/ddd-digital-artbook-preview-naruto-elsa-mix-first-20-pages)

 Across the pages I left some of my tags here and there and added some positive and uplifting notes on some of the pages too add that extra personality and make browsing even more interesting. The book also has a showcase, where you can see exactly how I did these images.

It comes with a whopping 152 pages and a matte finish with photobook quality pages. It is print on demand, so very few of these exist. I hope this book will spread joy among artbook enthusiasts and is an inspiration for all sorts of different artists. Some people told me these images would be amazing as tattoos for example.

I am just happy I have it for me now and holding it in my hands now was already worth all the work. 🙂

You can get it here (later also on etsy) [https://puzzlesbydino.com/de/products/artbook-ai-project-naruto-elsa-mix-152-pages](https://puzzlesbydino.com/de/products/artbook-ai-project-naruto-elsa-mix-152-pages) 

day 869

day 869. Green Dino and if you make a handstand, you can read the red karma. 🙃

On the sides I placed the tymm outlines. 

day 868

 

day 868. I played a bit with my photo of my saurus sketch. I digitalized it and added some shadows and recoloured it. Then I added an ai background, because it doesnt really matter and colourcorrected the whole thing. 



And I saved the progress so I can pick it back up later. the saurus sketch still has no highlights. 🙃 

day 867

day 867. One of my alphabets in blue. 😎

day 866

day 866. Today I wanted to do a very simple black and white "bingo" board. So I made the handstyle and I got carried away a little bit, by placing some other fonts and throwups around it. . 😅


day 865

day 865. 😁

new pages

 I finished some more pages for my letterbook. Here are 4 raw double pages. Getting there step by step. 😁 

day 864

day 864. 2 alphabets and a glowing tag in the middle. Not fleshed out, but a good concept for sure. You can also view it vertically. 🙂

day 863

day 863. A white "tame your monkey mind" board, from the sketch I did this morning. 

Oh an I just ordered my naruto/elsa mix artbook. I let you know when it arrives. 🤩 152 pages it turned out to be. 

Good morninG!

 Morning sketch. "Tame your monkey mind" 
Hope you have a great day. 🤗💚

day 862

day 862. I did alot of art today, so I wanted to make a quick board today. Actually I like it alot. Green/grey rhino/dino board with a handstyle. 

NOW FOOD & ONE PIECE. 😍

last page done

I just finished the last page for the naruto/elsa mix artbook. I have not planned on making it that indepth, but I got carried away as always when I enjoy something. On that page I explain how I created the images in that book. 

The most exciting part is now to compile the book and order it. 😁

Turned out to be 152 pages. I can't wait to hold it in my hands. 

Hope you enjoy and maybe get inspired to get the most out of your own ai art, by using image prompts. 

Stay positive. 💚👋

day 861

day 861. Made a burger board with a "your best is always good enough" in the middle. I maybe made the green too dark. 🤔

day 860

day 860. I made a new handstyle today, for my artbook.

"just another mortal shell" Means basicalley, don't get too attached to your body, since it is constantly changing  and will eventually be left behind. 🤗💚

I made the eyes white of the gokupal I used and placed my dino graffiti on the right,. Colour corrected a bit and now I am quite happy with it. 🙂

new abc

Here is a new alphabet. ✍️ Really only needed the outlines, to finish it digitally, but before the markers dry out I thought why not... and thanks I hate it. 😅 

And extra for you, because you view this post on my website, I attach the other photos I made today. I finished another piece at work. "freedom is here". Hope you anjoy and thanks for being here. 

You are more than a placeholder. 🤗💚

day 859

day 859. A board with the new handstyle and an ai background, colour corrected. 

And yes I messed up the mockup. even just a few weeks ago I couldve not let that stands. 

But it is not worth it to go back. So it fits to todays theme. 

I let go the opinion, that the background has to be placed correctly. And I let go the opinion, that this orange bar on top may not be there. 

I let go and have a lot less worries. "Not wanting is easier then wanting" :) 
Wow I just grew on that alot. Today is a good day. 😁

another one

"Don't get drowned by your opinions." Just let go. 🙂 

DDD

 

Just did a lot of background work to release my digital downloads. Most of them will be for free. 

The highlight for now will be the FULL VERSION of my ai artbook "honorable mentions 2". You will get 60 pages that you can use for screensavers or as inspiration. Maybe make someone else happy with a gift printed from them? 

Sadly the app I use to provide the downloadpackage is currently down. As soon as it is back up I will let you know. 

Let's make the world a better place by spreading love and be kind to each other.

Stay tuned! 

btw. the printed version of it will still be available and I finally managed to implement it into the shop. Have a look. Theres alot more work to be done, but everything works fine. Well except the DDD currently.

day 858

day 858. Karma. 

a lesson

 "Impermanence is a lesson on the art of letting go.👐" 

If we let go alittle bit, we are a little bit free.
If we let go completely, we are completely free. 

 

day 857

day 857. A green "be happy" board today. 

Happiness does not depend on outside factors. It is a mindset and attitude thats worth being developed. But yeah it's hard. 😅

Keep in mind: as long as your feelings depend on outside factors, your life is not in your hands. 💚💚

day 856

 day 856. Today I used one of my ai eagles and slapped on some letters!. I like the colour combination in particular. 💚😁 

Thanks mom

 

My mom helped me tremendously upscaling my ai art. 💚🙏

Here are some of the projects she helped me with, that I now can use in my artbooks, puzzles or board designs. Maybe even some shirts or wall art.  The eagle alone has like 204 images. 😵‍💫 Can you tell wich one of these got created without using any image prompts? 😏

I wish I could split myself in 2 like naruto can with his schattendoppelgänger. One is doing graffiti all the time and one is doing ai and product design.

and btw. I just sketched my best alphabet so far.  At work on shitty paper over  3 days. 😅 so exited to share that with you soon. . but I think I will give it some more sessions and refine it even further.✍️

Stay tuned. 👊💚 

day 855

day 855. BOARD BEFORE WORK. Here is another "örlyburd" board. So my mom and me can watch movies later. 😁

day 854

day 854. a boring "neuneins" board. 😁

day 853

day 853. This is an old shirt design I once did. The spraycan held by the claw is an illustration an artist friend (psychotapes) made for me. 

I am kinda late, so I thought it is a good opportunity to see how it works on aboard. To truly know whats up it would ne more work, but not today. 😅

"Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a spraycan, wich is pretty much the same" 😬

New ai book soon

While my graffiti and letter book takes abit to arrive, I have prepared everything for a new ai artbook. One of my favourite projects so far. 

Naruto mixed with elsa and enhanced with my graffiti as "colourful influence" give this project a very special vibe and there are so much bangers. 

Its gonna be a phat book! Super excited. 

Here you see the cover (front and back) and the first three double pages.

Hope you enjoy. 💚

carpet time

need a carpet? I got all of them!😄

Me and my mom ordered some and the colours turned out brillant. It is slip proof and quite compfy to stay on. ☺️ 

Normally 149, but we got them for 40 each. 😮 The joker and the batman are my pick and the others my mom chose. 

DAY 852

 day 852. AI background and my "eins" piece with a fresh tag. ✍️ 

DAY 851

day 851. One ai gokubird with my "could B wörs" font. 

If you can't change how it is, be thankful instead, because it could be infinetely worse in a blink of an eye. 💚🤗

DAY 850

day 850. My mom is here for a visit, so this week I take it easy. 😊

"Only hurt people hurt people"

UNBESTÄNDIGKEIT

 Soon ready to outline. "Unbeständigkeit" 
Can you spot the 2 alphabets hidden in here? 👀
 

day 849

 day 849.  Today is a good day.  :D

 

day 848

day 848. Today I combined one of the ai tribegirls with the notes I once did about happiness and mindfulness. 

"Your mind is free"

day 847

day 847. I turned my saurus sketch into a board. I upscaled it and then I selected the letters to be able to make a blurred out drop shadow. I also added some quick shadown that the letters throw on each other. I made the background darker and since I already had the letters selected, I could easily place a tag behind them. I threw a green teint over the whole board and added 2 splash brush effects. 

I feel quite creative again the last couple days and I am excited. My "unbeständigkeit" sketch comes along great too. 

See you later. 😁💚 And stay happy, there is no reason to not be happy. 🙃

second tribegirl project

second tribegirl project with a new text prompt. 

both of these used my green rhino graffiti as image prompts, but one of these also used tho other as a result. Can you tell wich one was there first and wich is influenced by the other? 👀

but these 2 are pictures I really like and they will and already have been sources for new amazing stuff. 


day 846

day 846. A smiley board with some letters in the white parts. 

Smile, and the world changes. 🙂

day 845

day 845. Made a muted green board today. I used my "chris mac71" sketch to give it some letters. 🙂

day 844

day 844. "stay weir DDDD" 😅

day 843

day 843. A compilation of some of my favourite artworks. Some graff andthe rhinosaur I morphed out of one of my pieces. I love it. But I just noticed, I forgot the shadow on the pink "unchained". 

Compiling artworks feels more inspired and fun again the recent days. Now I just need new artworks to play with at some point soon. 

day 842


day 842. One "dino" mixed with my "think diff-FRIENDLY" handstyle. In green! 💚😁

project "hollow"



day 841

 day 841. Today I didnt plan anything special, since I am still quite in a creative downphase. But browsing through my sketch photos I wanted to make another "karma" board. So I took the photo and extracted the outlines. I grabbed a bunch of tags and throwups and compiled all together. And yeah I spent way more time than I anticipated. At the end I even took all the letters K,A,R,M and A and put them next to each other. The extracted photograph look comes really good. Yeah I got carried away and thats a good thing. Showing me how important this daily challenge is, especially on those days where I dont have the creative energy to even start. 

Keep the flow, life is an up and down and after the drought comes the rain. 😁 And axtually I really like how it turned out. 


New presentation mockup

 Made a new presentation for my online shop. I think I will focus on artbooks and puzzles for now. 

The best thing about this image is the background. I made these awesome puzzle product photos once and I also got this shot, where the artbooks are on there aswell. Fits really good. 
 


day 840

day 840. Quick "mindset" board with the ai tshirt design I once made. 🙂


day 839

day 839. A plain white board with my finished "poynt too" comission. 😁 I feel a great relief after it got approved and shipped. It is not perfect, but I gave it my best, so I am very proud of it. Can't wait to see how the stickers turn out. 😉


day 838

day 838. I basicalley finished my "poynt too" comission today and waiting for colour changes or other feedback from bro. Until then I made 2 colourful boards from it. 

Dark letters on bright background is really difficult for me let me tell you.


day 837

day 837. The "eins" in yellow looks like cheese. 🧀😆 😋


day 836

 day 836. Very rushed board today. I like the colour scheme. 🙂 


day 835

day 835. I had this photo of a very rough sketch. The paper even got crumbled and I did it at work. but it makes for a dope board 😅


day 834

day 834. For today I made a "birdslife" board. Well more of a concept, than a fleshed out board design.. However, it is perfect to keep the creative juice flowing. 😁 

Downphase is still holding on. It is fine how it is, because you can only have ups when you have downs at times and it will probably change again, but currently I have a hard time to find inspiration and the love for the daily boards. The hype will be back once I have some new stuff to put on the boards. 😅 


day 833

day 833.  An alphabet board today! And I also tried out adding this colourful throwup to it, but was not working with the white background. So I did a quick extra board. 

Now let's breath in and breath out with awareness and be thankful that we are still here. 


day 832

day 832. Here is another one in the series. This time a Rhino I dont like as much in purple. Anyways it gets the job done and I had worse boards before. 


day 831

day 831. I really like this style recently. Like having a graff in the front and just some white taglines around it with simple background. So here is a "burg" board made from the cheeseburger piece.😅

day 830

day 830. I am still feeling not that good, but I felt quite inspired to do a red board with some white lines in the background. 

So I grabbed my rhino graffiti and made it red and then placed some tags in the back with different opaque levels. I also took some mindful quotes I have made for my artbook. 

both graffiti puzzles done

 

"Rhino" and "Neuner" both finally completed.  The toughest part was the Green part. But I managed to do that part without the reference on te box On the other, the dark background was also very hard.

But the harder it is, the greater the feeling of accomplishment you get at the end.
