Throwing out all the old stuff

WELCOME AGAIN and HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

It's been some time, sorry for that. Life just ain't easy some times, and even if you have the time to fetch your hobbies in theory, life practice dosen't always work that way. So, thanks to all the people who are still following me, and sorry to all those who worried I might have given up here. A big hug to all of you!! (Also, if there would come the time I might REALLY give up on the blog or the story, I would let you know, bc it really unsettles me when people just stop posting. Who knows what happend to them??)

I even did some stuff, I just didn't manage to post it. Including some weird color experiments, YAY! So, new year, fresh start and let's throw out all the old stuff that was waiting in my little blogfolder to be shown to the world, wheee :D

Lets start with some bloodwork!

 

I like this picture very much. It's more a what-if than a piece that might happen in a story but I really really like how the colors turned out in this one.

And now let's go straight to the color experiments! :D


I think the one in the middle is my favourite, but I also like that weird pink thing on the right. Doing these was so much fun! :D Short after them, I made this one:

That might even be the same colors like the on above :D I love this one very much, although the colors ain't fitting the picture regarding content, but HEY! So much fun!

So, and in the end, we have some studies for light and composition, which ain't that exciting but I'll show you anyways ;)

I actually had some reference for these two but by now I lost them... :( I'll link them as soon as I find them! >o<

And that's it!!  YOU MADE IT TO THE END OF THE POST!! I am so proud of you! XD
So seriously, thank you for reading the whole thing.
Thank all of you for the loud or silent support!
I love you guys! Take care of yourselves!

Have a nice day! <3

A portrait of a fellow student

Heyho everyone! :D

I'm here again! ^^ After some cramped time with moving out and moving in there is some light on the horizont that it might be better soon. YAY!

But I still need to find a desk and a chair so that I can work on my PC again (yeah, I see the benefits of a laptop now... but who wants to work on a cintiq using a laptop?! 8D)

Anyways, some while ago (like, MONTH) I made a scribble of one of my teammates, because she is really pretty and wears such cute chlothes and has a great style so I just had to draw it XD

And finally worked it over in ps (getting better with digital inking, YAY). 

So, meet Beyzar! :D

Also, she wears hats! Instant bonus points in sympathy XD
What do you think? ^^
Love you all! :D

YAY, another experiment!

Yay, splatter splatter bang bang BOOM!

Or, what happens if you find a rough lineart on your pc and have too many PS-brushes and patterns you didn't try out. 8D

What else? I'm in panic and looking for an internship (maybe I'll link you my portfolio at some point) and my life is a mess of moving out, fighting paperwork, finding money to buy food and similar stuff. Gah, I'll be so glad that this will be over soon.

...I guess I don't have much to say today. Stay tuned. See you next time. I love you all!

Captain America - Animation Video!! :D

SO!!

Hello dears, long time no see!
The last weeks were a little hard, bc the examination period is a little earlier here, and it's nearly OVER! :D and then the whole application stuff for an internship starts.... aaahhhhh AND WE WON THE WORLD CUP! YAY! :D

Anyways, we had to make a viral video for one of my courses - no further restraints, except it has to reach about 1000 views in a week - and bc I'm not doing any animation for my film class this semester, I decided to do a flash animation film, YAY! And because I'm a nerd, I made the new Captain America movie the topic of it XD (you'll find the vid on the bottom of this post! ;) )

So I started with some simple sketches ....
<--  like this

  .....and put some layers of lineart and color on top....

 like that -->

.....and at the end of the day*, after hours of drawing and trying to get the backgrounds that people would somehow recognize what scene that might be, I had results like this:

.... this...

....stuff that is more dramatic....

....and some stuff that is more fun XD.

Luckily I had a great help with all the animation stuff - thanks again for that, Jule! :D You're my saviour ;) AND WE GOT IT FINISHED, FINALLY!!

Share, leave a like or a comment, criticize or just enjoy! ;)

Have a nice day! :D

*It's just a phrase, we didn't made that thing in a day, more in like a couple of days without any (or with very little) sleep and with lots and lots of energy drinks and coffee intus... 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

Constructive criticism

Yup, finally a new comic 8D

Constructive criticism is something frequently asked, not so much given and if, most times not even constructive ;D But if you gain some, it can help you a lot. Like A LOT.

And than there is criticism of pictures, that is hard, in the sense of HARD....

But hey, even that helped. Except the part where I just threw that pic away and didn't draw it again. But retrospective it was really, really poor drawn.

By the way, if you find grammar or spelling mistakes, please leave a comment, I'll correct it soon ^^

Have fun! 8D

It's invincible! 8D

Hi out there! :D

Finally the whole stuff with portfolios is over for the moment... at least until the letters wether I've passed or not will reach me XD


So there is freeeeeeeee~ time now!



...and massive amounts of lazynes somehow. ;)

Time to read some comics instead of drawing stuff 8D
No sooner said than done! So I just re-read the first volume of the ultimate collection of Invincible.

And although I still think it's a great comic, while re-reading it over and over there's more and more stuff that bugs me.
First of all, why, why, WHY has the female main chara has to wear a pink outfit with a venus symbol on her chest? Seriously, we would have known without that she's a woman. It's kind of this OMG WE HAVE FEMALE SUPERHEROES HERE SO WE HAVE THEM TO BE SUPER GIRLY!!!-attiture, and I really can't stand that. It shouln't be such a great thing to have super heroines today. Heyoo out there, woman can wear normal chlothes, too! They don't have to be pink and girly!
(and her special powers sparkle in pink, too. What the fuck!)
Oh, and whoever told them to combine a pink outfit to red hair should be drowed in wall paint. ;)


I mean, would it have had any bad effect if they would have dressed Eve in green instad of pink?

Guess not. 8D

~quick sketch with copic on copic paper

42!

Hey out there! :D

It's the unbelieveble 42. blogpost with my pictures! 8D That means I have only 9958 posts 'til 10.000! Should be easy to do. ;)

I love Shar's coat and his haircolor in this pic, and I want that 42-shirt ;D

This time, the outlines are just pencil on copy paper,  scanned and than colored with photoshop. It's all kind of rough, but I think I like that more than a clean, sterile look... and at last this fits the character of this guy better ;)
So, have a nice day, and don't forget your towel.

....and DON'T PANIC! ;)

All girls love shoes! Right? ;)

....and I love mine with an extra dose of color ;D

You might allready know them from the comics or another picture at deviantart, but if you don't, dosent matter XD  (Go and find them!)

I really love these boots, they're shiny, they're comfortable, they're warm and they're yellow! :D
Outlines are made with Multiliners and Colo is made with Copics on marker paper, size A3. That's so far the biggest picture I've ever made with copics....

Aye, and I got more stuff to tell you! The poster from Amphibian Ark is out now! And there's a list of participating institutions by country on their site -> click here and scroll down <- So if you're planning to visit one of that zoos next time, keep your eyes peeled! :D ...and send me a photo ;)

Have a nice day! ;)

HERE WE GO!

Hi out there! 8D

Obviously I love jumping characters, and I wanted to try out my new colored ink, and so I made this pic ;D

GO, Shar, GO! Woohooo!!

The outlines are made with colored ink, the coloration is copic and the higlights are a white pigment pen. It's not that easy to draw in this more cartoony style but the lines are more simple and I worked the whole thing out in about 2 and a half hours or something.

Have a nice day and a nice weekend!! :D
