I´m really bad with this blog thing am I ? The backlog of stuff is so huge now that I get a headache by just thinking about it, but you gotta start somewhere I guess ! I scanned a bit from my sketchbook ( which isn´t even half full even though I bought it at the beginning of this year, haha ! I find it hard to believe that a few years earlier I had the energy to fill such a book in a month XD )
I just wish it wouldn´t be so time intense to scan all the pages... more to follow...









I like this one, might work on it a bit longer when I find my muse again :)




What I´m usually doing when I don´t fangirl all over TIGER&BUNNY ( fanart flood incoming... when i got my stuff done :) )

Did some tests with Painter9 and am mildly pleased with the results.
By the way, isn´t it kind of scary how fast the time flies ? I can´t believe that the year is almost at its end already ... I still got some things to do though !

I´m sorry for beeing so absent recently :(

This post is mostly for a topic that I get a lot of questions about.
Making studys with references is something I usually combine with my warm-ups.
I always have a big pile of photos/magazines and randomly choose some to work with ( or specificly for work related themes ). Time spent is around 20-30 min.
I admit though that I´m not doing that every day, there are sometimes weeks where I just paint some abstract nothings. I also can´t say if this is the right way to go, but it definatly works for me to understand the things I want to learn :)

So here is a small selection from the last months.




edit: sargent study, also around 15min. :|



and some classics

Just posting to ask if someone is interested in a retrospective, from 2000 to 2010 ... The wonderful Katie Rice did a nice one and I thought it was really interesting :) It would still take a while as it is a lot of work to scann everything and collect the old works...

Old work





a fun commission :)





These were old testpages for a project that I cannot tell you about yet :) But Oh gee, I´m so glad that they are not going to be used haha

Influence Map

It was fun !! The template can be found here



There way to many things and people that influence me ( especially with all the variety of artists on then net ) so I left out the most obvious Inspirations like Family, Friends ( feel free to check the linklist ) , certain parts of the world, Animals , Animations... The map is pretty much limited to specific Artists ( or other Things ) that inspired me constantly for more than 4 years, continiue to inspire and left an visible impact on my work...at least I think they did. Actually the majority on the map is from my pre-internet times haha...

So yeah, I think my biggest influences are Wendling and Inoue :)

!!

wip, junk, unfinished, tests all mixed ! :)



This is something I could work on every once, I try to find something that could make htis picture more interesting. It not so much about originality ( if that really exists within something mundane like heroic fantasy ;) ) but visual appeal...
