Hello everyone!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hi everyone,

my name is Julia and I'm a 28 year old artist from Germany. One of my best friends, the lovely @lioba, had just introduced me to this community and I was curious enough to come around and take a look as it sounds really interesting (and exciting!).

I've always been drawing and painting as far as I can think back in my life, so it seemed to be the obvious choice for me to also do it on a professional level, working as a Concept Artist and Illustrator for video games, books and Pen and Paper RPGs . I'm currently a freelancer and most of my income relies on client work, but there are some ideas to become more of a creator of my own, bringing my visions to life.

This is something where hopefully I can spend some more time on in 2018 and get a more clear outline for what I'm able to do. Where will be a lot of challenges which I have to take on.
Else I'm looking forward to continue some things I started last year, like having my own booth at Conventions or teaching students in art. I love this direct exchange with fans, enthusiasts and other artists. It's a great way to get to know others and grow together.

Another plan would be to do a second Sketchbook Slam Challenge (600 pages, one month) towards the end of the year.
I already did it successfully in November 2017 and it was quite the experience.

With everything that comes up I hope I can share some of it with the community to stay motivated and keep track of my progress. It would be awesome if I could provide some insights to help others as well on their journey while doing so.
So, if anyone has any questions or remarks, feel free to leave a comment!

And if I'm not drawing, I love it to go for walks. I'm quite the passionate Pokemon Go Player while I'm in the city. When I visit the country side on the other hand, I turn more to photography of nature and beautiful architecture of the past. Everything can be inspiration for me. So I try to keep my eyes open :)

I hope this will do for a first impression from my side.
I'm curious to see what all of you are doing!

Welcome to steemit @juliametzger and we wish all the best on this platform

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome! I'm glad to be here.

Wow, du bist ja mega talentiert. Ich glaub, das kannst du hier gut vergolden! Herzlich Willkommen. :)

Danke dir für das schöne Kompliment @laylasophia! Schauen wir mal, was kommt. Ich werde die Dinge einfach auf mich zukommen lassen :)

Your art is absolutely incredible!

Thanks a lot @skullyzard! And I just wanted to say, your avatar is super cute! nice image!

Welcome to Steemit! Glad your friend introduced you because that is some pretty cool art! Oh I was obsessed with Pokemon go at first, but lost interest along with walking. Look forward to more, followed!

Thanks so much, @diezeldiddy! This is very kind of you :)

Nice introduction and work! I am looking forward to discover more of your creations :)

thank you very much for the kind words @jnmarteau! I will show more of my work soon :)

You are really welcome, I am launching with a small ngo in Vienna "the global school", in which we are trying to offer various workshops/courses to students and entrepreneurs from around the world. I would be glad to invite you someday to lead a training and I would definitely participate, you have a lot of talent :)

that's sounds super interesting! I would love to do something like that. Dipping into teaching is one of my big new things, which I was able to do for the first time last year and want to explore much further

I am happy to see your enthusiasm, I will share your profile with the team which is joining progressively on steemit. I am already sure they'll all love your work :) By the way I just found your website and portfolio, nice collection! I'll be meeting the team on this Tuesday, let see if I can already share with them your links ;)
