I finished one of the works from last year. =) The portrait of the dryad.

And here's a closeup of the face:

2012-02-25T23:06:00.001+01:00

I just realized, that I have tons of unfinished works... It is ridiculous. I'm so often unsatisfied with my current works and then I have new ideas, I'm working so often on many different pictures and then..., well, I forget one picture and another or I don't like it anymore. BUT, I feel like my creativity is coming back slowly and I have already something in progress.
Here is a collection of my unfinished works of 2011, which I want to finish some day. :-D

2012-02-06T14:11:00.000+01:00

Hi everyone,
At the moment I have no patience for everything. Since the year has begun, I had a lot of ideas but after drawing a bit, it all seems so boring and unoriginal after a while. I have produced allready so many unfinished stuff witch I just hate right after beginning to draw... >_>' .
Don't know what to do at the moment.

Hello =)

Hopefully this will be my first completed work of 2012. I want to practice lighting again, again, again and again! :)
(And I want to practice anatomy without using refs, too.)
It is a fanart of Yennefer von Vengerberg from the Witcher Saga by Sapkowski.

Hey guy's,
I made a gif showing the process of my "Forest of the elders". It was my first time making a gif and I didn't planned to do this making of, so unfortunately there are some steps missing.

2011-10-19T14:25:00.000+02:00

Study stuff from ref, a portrait from mind and a speedy (15 minutes):

2011-10-17T15:06:00.000+02:00

Latest Stuff and 30 sec drawings. It's nice to feel the improvement with every single drawing. :) Arrgh, I really want to update this blog more often from now on.

2011-08-08T15:31:00.000+02:00

I'm still alive... 2 speedies. :)

2011-04-16T19:56:00.000+02:00

I wanna share with you another WIP I'm currently working on. It is a fanart of the great Online Graphic Novel by Daniel Lieske. Check it out here! (Really, just do it! ;D )

2011-04-09T12:30:00.002+02:00

I recently bought two anatomy books by Gottfried Bammes (one for human anatomy and one for animal anatomy), finally! Should've done this a lot earlier...:/ But better late than never, right? ;D

Here are some latest sketchbook pages and one of my WIP's:

2011-03-25T09:00:00.000+01:00

Noses, noses, noses, rock's and a girl. ;D

2011-03-19T14:27:00.000+01:00

At the moment I'm practicing a lot again, I really hope to reach a professional level this year. I really need to understand colors, materials, anatomy and everything better. =)

Latest random Stuff, Sketches, Studies...

And two WIP's, but not sure if I will ever finish them (the 1th is from the end of the last year and the 2nd from yesterday ;) ):

2011-03-17T11:53:00.001+01:00

Ok, I didn't post anything in a while - time to change that! I started again to practice a lot and the next days I will post some sketches and practice stuff. :) I also forgot to post something and I start with the oldest:

Do you remember the speedy, I posted on October 2010? :)

And something I'm really proud of..Fireburst! :) It is an Arcade-Racing Game made by the german Game Developer exDream. I'm working at exDream as a Trainee and I worked on Fireburst from the Beginning. It will available for XBOX Live Arcade, Playstation Network and Steam. Now there is the Official Fireburst Website and the Official Facebook Page.
I worked on different Stuff - some Character and Environment Concepts and also 3d Environment Stuff. I'll post the Official Character Pic's from the Facebook Page, from which I made the Concept Art, because my original Concept Arts for the Characters are kinda old - I won't show them. ô_o

Ok, these are the Characters I designed for Fireburst (please note, that those 3d Models are NOT by me!):

Samantha

Melvin

Brooke

Genji

Jimbo

Cammy

Hanako

Vicky

And this was one of the Environment Concepts (the logo is not up to date):

The Character Thing in Fireburst is quite Fun, because you can combine your favorite Character with your favorite Car! =) It is cool, they have all different influences. ;)
You can have a look on The Facebook Page for more Info's about the Characters.

Ok and last but not least, my latest Artwork....^^

2010-11-14T09:53:00.000+01:00

At the moment I feel kinda uninspired and not able to produce any creative. To help myself out, I started some Warcraft-Fanarts. I'll just post the sketches. The Lichking - Picture has already some color, but i'm not so satisfied with it at the moment. Additionally I'll post a study and a portrait, wich I will not finish. For the portrait I didn't used any references. For the hand-study my own hands were the refs. ;)

2010-10-28T21:13:00.000+02:00

Hey, I have a nice bonus. A Collaboration with "Pika4Ever" from deviantArt. =) We did kind of Painting Ping Pong, so I'll also post the Steps. It was a really nice way to do a collaboration, because no one ever stuck, there was new input all the time from each other and it was really fun!

And now some studies and speedies:

Thanks for viewing! =)

2010-09-29T10:24:00.003+02:00

hey folks! ^.^

Sorry for the lack of updates. I didn't study so much lately. I'm working on a short story for which i want to do a lot of illustrations when i'm done with it. But, don't know when i will finish it.

But now it is time for some pics. I painted the first one without using any refs. And the second one is a speedy (40 mins) i finished a while ago, but forgot it to post here (also didn't used any references).

2010-09-11T10:28:00.001+02:00

It is done =) I gave it the title "Forest Afternoon" I'm looking forward to do a more complex work with more story ^^

2010-09-10T17:54:00.001+02:00

Sorry for this mini update after a week. But it is more than nothing, right? ^^

The first one is Kiriban for deviant art community =) was really fun, and i used no ref, i can see what i need to improve, but i see also i learned something from all the studies.

This one is unfinished, many thing are really broken and i got bored with it, so, i don't think i will ever finish it.

2010-09-02T21:36:00.000+02:00

Didn't post anything this week, so i'll show you some studies...

WIP progress and studies...

2010-08-29T22:17:00.000+02:00

As you can see I started to render and also worked on the elves, they look more lively now, i think. I needed for this around 7 h. Now I try to bring all stuff on the same level and then the fine details will follow.

And some anatomy / pose studies, male and female.

Small Update

2010-08-26T17:33:00.000+02:00

Well, I love so much how Renoir used colors. My study did'nt came out very well. Still have to learn sooooo much about colors.

It's about time for more complexity ...

2010-08-23T18:38:00.000+02:00

Sooooo, I just started a work, which will probably the most complex work I've done until now. Means, more characters and more stuff in the background. Yes, "nude elves in the forest" is not a very original theme, but i really need to feel comfortable while painting, because it'll be a hard challenge for myself (especially not to loose my patience). Hopefully, when it is done it will be a bit easier for me to paint more complex illustrations.

"The Witchbook" is finished

2010-08-23T00:14:00.000+02:00

I finished it today. :)

And also some studies:

I love Saturdays

2010-08-21T18:50:00.002+02:00

The day after friday, it is soooo much time to practice and to play some games, yay! I used, as always, references for the studies.

And a WIP I started last weekend ( I took a photo of myself for the pose as ref) :

Work, work ;)

2010-08-20T20:41:00.001+02:00

30 sec drawings, a selfportrait (sorry, for the bad photograph) and a plum from life ^.^

Environments and face-expressions ...

2010-08-20T17:39:00.000+02:00

There's a really nice tool for understanding face - expressions
(http://www.artnatomia.net/uk/artnatomyApplication.html ) . I used it for these 36 drawings:

And I painted some thumbnails using references:

Using the break =)

2010-08-20T13:58:00.001+02:00

I painted this during my break at work. It's the window next to my workplace at the office. I wanted to catch the light, but it turned out not sooo well.

Studies from today

2010-08-19T22:08:00.003+02:00

Some 30 seconds drawings (using posemaniacs.com):

And some skin and anatomy studies (using references). The original photographs of the last 2 can be found at the gallery of "Eisblume" on Deviant Art:
