SORE LOSER

Had a lot of fun working on that piece. I got a little lost at rendering the blood. I thought of it in a much funnier way during the making. In the end I realised that it is one of the most brutal pieces I ever did. Just don't ask why I did it. Oh and I really hate to repeat myself.

Life Drawings

This week I had the chance for some life drawing. It's really easy to draw a person you are not emotionally connected to, because it doesn't matter if he/she likes the picture or not. I kind of forgot what it was like. Oh and thanks to Mr. Waak for the new vocabulary. Note to self: never be a nude model --> sucky job.

NUNS WITH GUNS

Here is a page from my character sketchbook. I was seeing it in red and gray all the time so I decided to color it digitally instead of relaxing in the sun. Summer has arrived in Berlin and starts annoying me already. One round of footbag makes me sweat and I spend all my money on drinks instead of cigarettes. Really looking foward to winter :) Expect updates soon.


Here is another one, but I'm not going to color this, though.

EASTER MADNESS

I had to babysit my little brother and we were painting eggs. Did't do that for a couple years, not sure why. It was quite fun actually. Lucha Libre for life! I really should work more often with traditional brushes instead of digital ones. I always wonder; do musicians have that same kind of problem? There are so many similarities between visual and acoustic art, but is that one of them? Anyway, it sucks for sure that you don't have ctrl+z in real life!

GOOD MORNING

This is an illustration for my first flash animated movie. It appears to be much more work than I thought, since it was supposed to be only a 40 sec short movie. But building a natural acoustic atmosphere is a very hard job indeed. I've been on and off it for a couple days now, and I'm not exactly sure when it's going to be done. Right now I'm designing some background posters for the German production 'G-man Jerry Cotton' which is being produced in Babelsberg, so there is not enough time to keep on working on my own projects. I'll keep you guys up to date, though.

GROW UP, DUDE

Didn' have much time to work on this one. Basically got the task this morning and started right away to get it done ASAP. 3 hours and 20min later I was ready to go outside :) Majorly inspired by nivanh chantharae,a street artist from paris. Thanks to Nils for the fast support and acoustic supply. Hope you'll dig it.

TOO LATE

I finally got my hands on Photoshop CS4. It is most awesome and absolutely different from previous versions. I tried to explain the differences to my cousin who is a chef and his eyes started glowing when I said it was like working in a new kitchen. If you have a powerful graphics card PS will use that to give you some features like 360° rotation and 3 dimensional painting. Together with the 6d Art pen it is a pleasure to work. It has so many other advantages, I just can't list them. The good weather is a real pain, I would love to have some more weeks with rain and snow, so I can stick to my drawings. It's like the 'bittersweet-moment'. Bitter beacuse all of my friends are happy and outside playing footbag, and bitter because when I'm with them I can only think about what I want to draw back home... Just like bittersweet chocolate. I hate it, I mean, what's the point? Why not only sweet?
