I'm Jim Brin, an illustrator from Slovenia, currently focusing on my personal queer fantasy projects & finding great fulfillment in them. 😌

One of them is my monthly experiments series;

Before I post December's piece tomorrow, here are my favourite monthly experiments from this year ⚔️
A warm illustration, predominantly pink and orange. It depicts a floating character (OC: Lubi) wielding a golden sword in his raised left arm. The character is topless, showing a heart-shaped hole in his chest which glows from within. He has top scars and his hair is fire. He's wearing hot pink leggings, a purple loin cloth, and golden boots. He's wearing a green mask and his right arm is clad in matching green armour, holding a golden helmet on his lap. The background is an upside-down scene. There is a labyrinth on the top of the image, with a single green plant growing from a crack near the middle. Beyond the labyrinth is a vibrant morning sky and a distant tower rising from the pink and yellow clouds. This digital illustration from my monthly experiment project features my character Lubi wielding a sword, as he often does these days. His back is turned to us, sword raised above his head, which is looking towards us. He wears a golden heart-shaped mask that covers the opper part of his face, but shows his eyes. There is a lot of play of texture and colour on display, not overly relying on realism. Most of it is lineless in style. His left arm is covered in a black organic-looking armour with red, blue and green highlights, and it has an eye on the shoulder. A similar veiny organic texture is seen crawling on the right side of his body. The left side of his back has iridescent tiger stripes. There is a heart-shaped hole in his chest, which emits a strong glow. On the left, outside of his chest, there is a pink floating love heart, which is also surrounded in a jagged, stylized glow. Lubi's hair is a heavily, almost abstractly stylized fire coloured in a red and white gradient. It connects down his face into a short beard. The background is a textured, detailed pattern I made by heavily editing and distorting the (public domain) painting Olive Orchard by Vincent Van Gogh. There is some text on the image. In the bottom left corner it has my username and signature, painted in metallic shine. Across the top of the image, there is a reference to an image I saw on tumblr. The image depicted AI trying to correct a sentence someone wrote, saying; "Want to sound less negative? menx'k rxxp qiurezok". Digital illustration featuring my OC Lubi. He's placed in the middle, and is depicted as a fantasy protagonist. His skin is green, and his eyes large and red. He's wearing a purple helm and gauntlets, adorned with opals. The helmet is open on top, letting his fire hair free. He's wearing a cloak and a tunic underneath. The cloak is decorated with flat, almost pictographic designs - a black heart in the middle with a pink star in it and a greenish flame above it, five red and black hearts below, and stylized depictions of top surgery scars. His right arm is holding a green sword, and he is stoically facing the viewer. He is standing in an uncanny room. Behind him are dark walls and curtains, and a window revealing jarring red outside. By the window is sculpture, taken from my own heavily edited photo. The sculpture is Tri Gracije (1969) by Ferenc Kiraly, which stands in my hometown. The sculpture depicts three women holding a large bowl above their heads. I drew a stylized red fire in the bowl. The floor is wooden, and taken from a photo of the floor in my dad's atelier. The wall left of Lubi is pink, and painted with a rough approach. On the wall is an ornate vintage mirror, also a modified photo (from the MET museum's massive public domain catalogue). There is a keyhole on the mirror frame. In the mirror is another version of Lubi. His cloak is black and red and covered in large flat pink hearts. He's wearing a silver helmet that covers more of his face, and his extended arm, also holding the same sword, shows an ornate golden sleeve. His arm is an edited photo of my arm, and the sword they are holding is another edited photo from MET's catalogue. Unlike the 'real' Lubi, the mirror Lubi is smiling a vampiric grin. The sword is stabbed into a big pile of sand (textured with my own photos) in the middle of the room that Lubi is standing on. On the right side of the image there is a wooden table, upon which is a vintage green key (another one from the MET website). Digital illustration in style of a vintage fantasy movie poster. The upper part of the illustration is dominated by my character Lubi, holding a sword in his right hand and a spell in his left. The sword is a painted-over photo from MET museum's public domain library. The sword is surrounded by a wild dark yellow glow. The spell in the left hand is a dull pink. Lubi's fire hair is orange. All three elements are flat in colour. Lubi's skin is green, and he is wearing some sort of golden helm-crown with a heart on the forehead. He's also wearing a wide golden collar piece encrusted with green gems. His body is covered in a black robe. He has a heart-shaped hole on his chest, and a stylized flat blue star inside. In the center of the image, on his mid-torso, is a night sky with scattered stars and a crescent moon. Along Lubi's left breast, the stars vaguely shape a top surgery scar. On the lower left side is another, rougher image of Lubi in a chanting kneeling position, his hands raised. The pose was referenced from one of Frank Brunner's Elric illustrations. This Lubi is mostly naked, just wearing a belted loin cloth, a helmet, and several golden bangles on his wrists. He has several scars on his thighs, as a reference to his frequent design element of having striped legs. His face is covered in shadow and his dark orange flame hair is wild. He has visible top surgery scars, and a heart-shaped hole on his chest. His skin is of a pale orange colour. On the bottom right side of the illustration is a castle on a mountain cliff. The castle was referenced from the painting 'The Battle' by Remedios Varo. I used my own photos to add texture to the mountainside. Along the bottom edge of the piece, there is a written phrase saying "VERY MUCH ALIVE".
