Hello and welcome to my Deviantart page
My name is Malte. I live in Germany and while I got a deviantart account back in 2007 it has been only after I became active in the brony fandom (fans of the show "My little pony") that I became more active and started posting new art more regularly. So almost all of the art on my account is my little pony fanart.
It has become kind of "my thing" to try out many different crafts and forms of art. I very much enjoy exploring the possibilities so I am rather versatile concerning the forms of fanart I am creating. Among other these include origami, pyrography (images burned into wood or leather), engravings on glass or stone slates, sculptures made of different materials (soapstone, wire, pipe cleaners, felted wool, clay, starch foam etc.), glass- and porcellain painting and mosaics. I love creating some background sceneries for the different sculptures so I can set them up for images or animations which sometimes can tell a little story.
Streetart with chalk is another thing I enjoy in the summer months and I am particularly happy about the successful introduction of chalkdrawing as a workshop at the GalaCon and the Czequestria (two European brony conventions I love to attend).
I also draw and paint both digitally and traditionally, but in all honesty I got to admit that I do so rather rarely, mostly because I regret the lacking possibilities for corrections in traditional paintings while dreading the unreasonable amount of time it takes me to complete a digital painting. I really admire the great artists who have learned to create beautiful digital art in much shorter time.
It is one of the things I really hope to learn to maybe realize a couple of comic ideas I have in mind.
I am creating art mostly for the joy of creating it rather than as a profession. However, while I am therefore not very active in searching for comissions I do sometimes accept them.
Apart from art I'm extremely interested in history and turned this interest into an actual profession by teaching history (and English) at "Volkshochschulen" (education centers for adults).
Please feel heartily invited to look around and comment on my art (constructive criticism is always very welcome and helps me to improve future projects).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Donation Pool
This donation pool isn't set up for one specific project. I have constant costs for materials and tools for my art projects. If you can afford and want to support me I appreciate any donation a lot.

Good morning, how's it going? 
Once you're free from your commitments regarding the move and so on, hopefully one of the next projects in the pipeline could also involve those obscure background characters of the caliber of Manely Gold and so on especially considering that @Vile-Flesh had already proposed her to StartledFlowerPony before the latter disappeared unfortunately causing her spotlight to never come to fruition... 
What do you think? 
Hello TheAlexGamer,
there are still many commitments, but recently I have been doing more art again. I just haven't gotten around to upload any of it lately. It won't take long anymore until I'll complete an ytong sculpture of Marble Pie (it only needs to be painted) to complete the series of the Pie sister sculptures I started last year. I also put a lot of time and work in a very large embroidery (kind of a tapestry of Bayeux stile interpretation of the Sombra war) and did some acrylic painting too.
Still I have so many ideas and plans for art of various types (especially now that I have the space that would allow me to do some of the projects that I couldn't do so far) that I am not pledging myself to any specific project as a kind of obligation. In spite of the many planned projects art sometimes "happens" to me in a spur-of-the-moment kind of manner that I cannot always predict.
That's great to hear, of course we're so looking forward to see what you have in store for us also with regards to the various background characters on which to put the spotlight and so on!
Needless to say, we wish you good luck with the rest of your commitments to be completed as well... 
Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you kindly, TheAlexGamer2001
All the best to you too for 2025.
You're very welcome! 
Merry Christmas to you! 🎄
