Yup, I'm still alive

Hey y'all,

I'm still alive! Wheeeeee!

My life is a mess and I'm trying to work around it. Anyways! Have this little piece I made in Inktober (yeah don't wait for much more from that, it's pretty much the only thing I made)

Enjoy!

"But what did you do all summer long?!"
I animated the ass of a cow! 8D No srsly, that was a real job. Maybe I can upload that at some point. Oh, and I'm working on the cover for a novel! See, there are more things to come ;)
Just stay tuned ;)
See you all!

BULLETPROOF VESTS! EXPLOSION! KATANAS! (sort of.) YAY!

Hello out there! :D

A while ago I had the urge to splash around with ink, especially with the weird and awesome effects you can do with that stuff (and any other color that's just liquid and opaque enough). Liters of ink, opaque white and 2389 tissues later, this pic was the result:

 The katana-like daggers (shortswords??) are a little bit of a stretch for this character, as she usually would rather fight with guns or combat knifes, but standing in the aftermath of an explosion counts as an extreme situation and extreme situations require weird weapon choices. I learned that from action movies!

 Unfortunately I used an A3 drawing block, and was really unmotivated bc scanning it would have to be in parts and be put together afterwards (and I hate our scanner. GAH)... So this picture molded around here for some month. ANYWAYS motivation knocked and was like "AY let's do this!" and I scanned the damn pic! Luckily it was way less complicated than expected, and I had the black n white version you can see above on my pc, finally! 8D
Now the next step is obviously COLORS!! 
And while I still struggle with colors (as with apparently everything else) I really like the outcome of this one. I had a very weird orange version at first, and I'm really glad I just put it on the side for a few days and worked it around until this one below:

Yo.
So, what do YOU think?

Take care of yourselves! <3

The good guys aka TEAM POLICE - Project LO

Hello out there! :D


Group photo time! XD I really like group pictures, but they're sometimes so annoying to draw ;) The only thing I love more is creating new characters, YAY! Seriously it's so hard to not bulk the story with unnecessary background informations about every single one of them XD .... but hey, short stories are always an option.. 8D

So, these are Captain Wu's best guys and girls ;)

Currently working on their profiles and storyboarding the first chapters .... building castles takes time.

See you next time! :D

WOOOOOOOSH HAIR

Hellas fellas!
So some time ago I was really excitet, because after that flop of getting into illustration classes I was going to work on an animated music video with a group. Unfortunately they're going with a live action idea now, which on the one hand is really cool, on the other hand not what I wanted to do in this group... damn. I like that project, it's very artsy black-white-gay-expressionism-stuff, but still...ANIMATION WHERE DID YOU GO

What to do?? Well if I can't do movie shorts, I'll go for gifs instead :< Remember my last post, where I showed you my new wallpaper? I thought it'd be cool if the hair was moving, and I couldn't sleep, so I did this:

But - I still couldn't sleep, and it bugged me that it was so stutter-y, so I did this one straight afterwards:

SO MUCH WIND IN THIS HAIR

WOOOOSH
YAY

What do you think? Which one do you like better? :D

Take care, see you soon <3

Mah new PC wallpaper

YEEEEAAAHHHH!

Since I'm drawing basically nothing else than storyboards and rotoscoping, I'm actually getting better at sketching on digital surface directly.
So I started doodling around and after a couple of minutes I had my new wallpaper:

But since I have 2 monitors, I needed a second one and spend another 15 minutes drawing this.

They are rough and sketchy and spontaneous and I love them. Personally I think these are some of my best works of the last months. There may have been more complex and time consuming stuff, like the stuff I did for my courses, but this is how I love to draw. Only pencil is better.
 What do you think? :D

NEXT will be a complication of videos I've  produced with various teams on my courses, so you'll finally see what I'm doing all day long when I'm not posting on this blog ;)

Take care of yourselves!

First post of the new year ;)

Happy new year!

Yeahhh it's a little too late, but the last time was - is - still stressy... ^^° But I've got some stuff in the backhand I'll post at the end of semester so that you can see what I'm working on all day ;)

ALSO - For some reason, I couln't answer comments the last time, so pls don't be sad/angry that I didn't react, I'm working on the problem ^^; In the meantime you can stalk me on several other platforms and chat with me there ;)





So, what do I have for you this time...?
Composition-scribbles :D

The first one is my favourite :D

As I said before, I did the storyboard for my film classes and I really like the format. Also I love pictures that look like movie stills, when characters are not just posing or something but are acutally doing stuff... It's more dynamic and lifelike and everything, and I have a looooooooong road to go till I get there XD But it's fun! I hope I'll have some more time in the semester break...

So, serious stuff next time. Until then - Happy January! :D
Take care! ;)

It's nearly christmas, have some pics :D

Howdy, fellas! :D

First - I've finally got a tumblr ;) I'll upload the pics I'll post here as well as the old stuff and I reblog stuff I like and love, mostly art/design/animation/drawing and illustration stuff ;D
BUT the background information and my gibberish will stay here, because I'm one of these persons who don't like to read much text on tumblr ;)

And now, pictures! :D
I spent the most time this semester with the storyboard for our music video so I had to do lots of thumbnails and sketches on my gt, and HELL do I know little about layout and composition (good thing I had support by our cam girl Thesa >o<) . Most of it was try and error, but that 16:9 format is quite interesting, and I started to do some random sketches with my OCs, and I kinda like the results 8D I'd like to post some pics from the actual storyboard, too, but I have to go back and clarify that with my group, cuz Idk how touchy they are about "prepublications" ... ^^°
So, enough talking, PICTURES! :D

Nothing to say anymore. Have a nice weekend and a merry christmas or a nice holiday or whatever pleases you ;)
Take care! :D

....and I'll kick your face.

...literally! :D

and OH GAWD it's been more than a month since my last post... Argh. Okay. Probably there won't be a lot more the next time either... D: Because my studies are STRESSFUL AS HELL. Like, before christmas, I have to do an interview with a storyboard/concept person, we have to shoot our music video, shoot our documentary, record an audio drama and write an exam and do some paper for another course.

Help me.... :'D

Okay, most of these are group works, so the pressure and work is somehow spread cuz nobody has to work alone. But still, it's a shitload of work...

BUT, always look at the bright side of life, eh? 8D

By the way, our music video will be to the song "Space Invaders" of the band "Pornophonique" :D

You can listen to it, or download it  - or the whole EP - here for FREE. Enjoy! :D

But now - the promised kick in the face ;)

pencil and photoshop on copy paper

Oh HELL YEAH. I love drawing kicks and punches and material arts stuff, even if it's difficult and tricky most of the time ;) BUT IT'S FUN! :D And yes, it's Emma again! Unfortunately there are no news around the comic project... There is just no time left for a project that size... it's creeping forwards in snail's pace....yeah...

Same pic, but inverted. Think this is a great effect 8D

And, for those who are interested, the raw one ->


Which one do you like the most? :D And how are your studies/work/schoolworks going?

So, that's it from me, so farewell, see you soon.

Take care! :D

Kiss and sea turtles! :D

Hey guys, KISSING TIME! :D


I still can't draw a kiss showing heads as a whole XD

 But I really like the dirty look the pic has. I had some reference, but it was a whole bunch of pics and not one specific one. I think I like drawing on that paper size (A5), and I love landscape format more than portrait format.

Maybe it would be interesting to draw the comic in landscape form...

And now, SEA TURTLES!! :D

 In Vienna, there's a big aqua zoo named "Haus des Meeres" (house of the sea), and they have a 300.000 litre aquarium with some sharks and a sea turtle in it. The sharks swam too quickly to do nice photos of them, but the sea turtle was just there on the ground and WAS SO PRETTY AND BIG AND WOW.

Have a look at her prettieness :D

 That's a remora on her back. And yes, that turtle is big, I think the sign said 150cm.

That was really cool :D
If you ever plan to go to Vienna and have some time left, go and visit that aqua zoo. They have so much cute fish and that amazing turtle and they have SHARKS, dammit, even if they're too quickly for me to take good photos. Here's their website :D

Thoughts? 8D

Freehand Animation!

Yiss! Summertime again!

And I'm sitting in front of my pc all day :'D Because besides the animation project for my film class I also try out animation for myself XD

Behold for my first second freehand animation! 8D

Isn't he pretty? XD
Maybe I'll try out coloring it (and get out the mistakes, gnnn... that damn smoke just dosen't look real! It would be probably easier if I'd smoke myself XD)
If you spot mistakes, leave me a commen please!

So, have fun and eat some ice cream! :D
See you soon! ^^

OMG it's MOVING!

Hey there! 8D

Yeahhhh.....I have to write a report and a childrens book till tuesday and two exam tests on friday AND I have to cut some vids togehter till wednesday...let's start with something completely unrelated! 8D

So I told you a few times we're doing that animation for our title design in the film class; some weeks ago we did a test animation, rotoscoped from a random vid of a ballett dancer, and all of us did 3seconds of animation.
This is my part:

 IT'S MOVING!!!
That's why I love animation, it's just too fascinating to draw something and then watch how it becomes something that actually moves :D
The hair is completely free hand btw ;)




Plus, before I went to Vienna last week (yes, I was in Vienna! It was pretty cool! But I had nearly no time to draw something XD) I drew this one somewhen deep in the night, just before I went to sleep. Basis was a gif I found... on tumblr or something... I dunno ^^°

Beware oft the sketchy lines! :D







Also I tried a freehand animation, but that will have to wait :( Too much to do!

 Yeah, and now I'm going to do something useful.  See you next week! ^^

New wallpaper

Hey out there! :)


I have a new graphic tablet :D Yay me! ^^
And although I have enough other stuff to do, I sketch and scribble around with it... :'D
This thing is so different from the gt I had before... I think I still need some time to get used to it... ^^° And because I'm a color noob, I work only black n white right now XD

So last week I made a new wallpaper for my pc:

Yes - it's Emma and Locks again ;) Sorry, can't help it. I hope the examination period won't eat too much of my energy, cause I want to get this thing started.

What are your plans for summer? Tell me! :D

And have a nice day ;)

Long time no see - Screentone! :D

HELLOOOO out there! :D

Have you missed me? 8D Sorry for not posting that long time! There has been some shitty stuff and lots of nice stuff that kept me from my blog ;) BUT NOW I'M BACK! 8D How have you been lately? I hope you're allright ;D

I kinda rediscovered some traditional medias for me, such as screentone :D It's just so funny to work with XD  That pic was just a pencil sketch in my sketchbook, and when I found my screentones I inked it and threw some screentone on it ;)

Enjoy! :D

What do you think? Do ya like traditonal or digital stuff better? Or: What feels better to work with, but which result do you like the best? :D Tell meee! ^^

And have a nice day! :D Seeyaaa >o<

Very dark problems

Guess what about?

Yes - inking! 8D (no, I'm not writing about autum/winter depression here XD)

So there are several ways to ink something, and all of them look slightly or entirely different. And I'm struggling which way to go down with my comic, so....help? 8D

 Manual ink at first. Rough vs. clean lines. Both look cool, both are time consuming; for the rough one it's hard to find a balance between dirty and dynamic, the clean one will tax my patience. 8D

Digital ink. I think I won't go down this route, cause it's time time saving and consuming at the same time. You can correct till it's perfect, but for me it's hard to get a right stroke in the first place, so I'm correcting 90% of the time...

...or I just let ink be ink and go for pencil only. In that case, I need a good scanner ;)

Well, well.

What do you think? 8D

5000 CLICKS!!! and comic 'news' ;)

... and I have only boring stuff to tell you. But wow, 5000 hits on this blog. Thank you guys! :D

"Yeah you know, nothing is for free. GIVE US PICTURES."

Ya well... I don't really have some. No really. I have stuff to do. Studying, working... that kind of stuff, you know?

"We thought you're studying DESIGN! AINT THAT WITH PICTURES!"

Not .... yet???? Actually it's amazing how little we've done 'til now. The only subject which hits in with the power of a jumbo jet is Film/Animation, where we have to script, shoot and produce a commercial till the end of term. I mean, WHAT THE FUCK. THIS IS AMAZING.
Aaaand seems like a shitload of stress. YAY! Let's hope the rest of the subjects won't take too much space in the date book XD

But! Months ago I told you about that comic project I'm working on. I didn't forget that thing!

This is the status:

(don't try to zoom in, you can't read anything anyway ;D)
First rough storyboard of part one COMPLETE! 8D 'round 80 pages (4 pages per one sheet of paper), part 2 is on work and part 3 is written down and waiting.

Meet one of the minor characters, the amazing Miss Watson! 8D

 Okay, before you start to shitstorm me with "YOU STOLE THAT FROM ELEMENTARY!!!111ONE", that's not her real name. And I didn't watch the series (yet). ;)

So! The only thing I have to do now is work over these pages again, complete the other 2 parts, work over them again, draw them, ink them, scan them, correct them, letter them...... I have to go, I have a film project to do. Bye!! :D

Model sketches

Hey out there!

Some time ago, I had some amazing drawing sessions with an amazing model again :) And I produced a massive amount of sketches and doodles during that sessions, so have some of the black/white 2-Minute sketches!

You can find the model here, and let me tell you that she's very awesome ;)

GO!

It's all fineliner and a broad marker.

Stay tuned!

And another one

Or, more precise, the last one of the pictures from that drawing session.

 Copic, Edding, pencil and some grunge effect with Photoshop. And if I hadn't miscalculated the her size while drawing her on the picture, you could have seen the nice flower she held in her hand, sorry ^^°

And another effect one, which happend just randomly, but looked cool:

........yeah, and that's it! Next time you'll finally see the portfolio pictures that I promised long time ago ^^

Have a nice day! :D

Scribbling....

....and sketching all day long.


Okay, that was a lie, I was barely home today. But I made some sketch of that comic project I'm currently (trying to) working on.... It's kind of shitty because the four sites that are ready (except of the post-editing and lettering) are gone with the portfolio for Nuremberg. Which means I'll have them back by the middle of July or something D: (And than I have to terrorize a certain person with a A3 - scanner to scan that stuff for me... 8D )

But well, maybe I'll have about a whole chapter than... Let's say we'll see at the beginning of august how far I got ;) It's 8 sites by now, and it's growing fast - at least in my head XD

So, have a sketch now.

Edding and fineliner on a sketchbook page :D

Have fun!

Annoyed and stressed but productive and alive

Hey out there!

It's been a while since my last post, but I'm still alive and drawing - even if some things are stressing the shit out of me.
Once, none of the scanners in this works at the moment, and I have no idea why not. Last time I just plugged the one in and could work with it, now I de-and reinstalled it a few times and it still won't work , and the other one dosen't work for no reason too.
Second, I just buyed a PC. A great one. It's strong, it's shiny, it's incredible fast, and it obviously had a broken graphic board. -___-
And third, next week I've got my second portfolio presentation/qualifying examination and I still have to work on that...

But well. Enough bitching now. What would be a blogpost without pictures?

This is a teaser pic from a comic project I'm currently working on (and which is part of my portfolio, too). It's raw, cause I don't have the hardware at the moment, but there will be more the next time :)

What do you think?

Besides, cause of the examination, portfolio and yadda yadda stress stuff there won't be daily posts next time. But I'm looking forward to post minimum once a week, so you might have at least some new stuff to watch at :)

Have a nice week!

Stressed out but still living

Heyo everyone!

If anyone is wondering why I didn't blog yesterday, it was just because it was kind of stressful and I hope I won't go sick cause I keep having a strange headace. But I'll try to keep on blogging!

So, more couple-pictures! I like to draw people interacting with each other (which is one reason why I wanna become a comic artist) and I think it's even more enjoable if there are some emotions involved. Such as happyness, love, lust, courage, blah blah blah..... and anger, hate and despair, and I think much people focus so much on positive emotions and the negative emotions just take about one or two facial expressions and that's it.... I think I have to do some meme or something to that topic.

Big spontaneous picture! I was just scribbling with edding to try out some new marker paper and this is the result. That edding died half the way so I could do the shading... and I really like the pic, even if it's probably just junk and kind of a ten minute work...I don't care ^^

Have a nice day! :D
