First post! Name's Živko, (he/him), I'm a small artist from Serbia, mostly working on original art. I love to combine color, whimsy, dreaminess, SF elements, bring it together into a scene you might like to visit.

Bloodmoon Break, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A young woman is relaxing on top of her modified car with tracks, with a large blood moon in moody dark red background. Dreaming Above the Wreckage in Srem, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A kid is sleeping by a hay bale on a beautiful sunny day, two hovering kittens are playing around him, huge clouds in the background, among which a wreckage is hidden. The Long Exposure, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A photographer is taking a photo of a mysterious sea cloud, waves and clouds are everywhere. A Tale with a Twist, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. Many pigs are hovering uncontrollably, a kitten is riding a tractor, mysterious sci-fi tower lies among the clouds in the background.

Lines and marks that the Fluid Glaze brush for Procreate makes. A chaotic demo page showing the brush in the works, various colors and text is sprawled on a page. A demo painting of a Warhammer40k spacemarine made with the brush, using the Larger variant on a 4000px canvas. A fun painting doodle made with the brush, it's a surreal purple, pink and violet portrait of a darker skinned person wearing cool shades

I know I am posting/reposting a lot about the new brushes I made, it is okay if you muted my tag or profile. I will continue to post about it because this is the most I've spent painting & streaming since my surgeries. It's therapeutic doodling fun, and there's no pressure to create "finished work".

I'm a metalhead, y'know, so I've had a good time when this Swedish band hired me for their album art back in 2019/20. Can you believe I made this? *They call him Dark Zhilly*
I made it live on www.twitch.tv/zhillustrator no less.

The album also sounds great: descend.bandcamp.com/album/the-de...
Album art for "The Deviant" by Descend cropped for square format. An abstract, macabre scene in red-orange and green. A ghoulish crowd is looking at a blood moon where a ghostly conductor stands blended in. Photo from Facebook, black and white, a CD and a Vinyl release of The Deviant.

A ghoulish orchestra-like crowd is looking and converging at a blood moon where a ghostly conductor stands in commanding presence.

"The Powerplant" is my most sold #print at cons and online. It's been an honor to send it off, in all sizes, to many new homes, for 10 years now. I hope you will want one, too, or just share, to help get me through tough times.

Available in A5-A0 at ko-fi.com/s/c2d60a42b9, DM for larger/altered.

Question for my stream-watching friends: Where do you like your livestream notifications? Twitch and Discord are failing me in this aspect. Would you love me to post here when I go live, on Insta, TikTok or Twitter?

What works for you? Genuine curiosity, because I would love more company.

Some A5 and A4 premium matte #prints from my provider finally arrived, after being stuck in customs for a time, here in Serbia. Made my day. They're amazing and I will sign them now.

Last day of this brush being free, grab it before I move it to Patrons only and my Kofi shop.

I still don't know if "freeleasing" new brushes was a good decision. However, I feel good about it, even if people muted me for reposting a lot, and I am going to continue.
Thanks for your patience!

Some more quick, rougher pages I made with my Sharpened Chalk Pencil #Procreate brush while streaming on Twitch and doing brush demoing. The brush works well for me, so I end up really letting loose, imperfect.

I can't stop swooshing with my Sharpened Chalk Pencil brush, it's that fun! (a bit biased, right). I used the "Alt" version of the brush for 4k canvas, also included in the post.
