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

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

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

A third Art Noir

Hey out there!

So, I'm in an ink-phase at the moment, and so you will get some works of pure ink, colored ink or at least with inked outlines ;) Somehow, ink is more fun than I imagined before. It was more like I hated ink, cause every time I tried to outline something, I smeared over the lines so often that I couln't correct it with whiteout any more.And I hated ink so much because of that. XD

Anyway.

I like this black and white stuff. This one's made with black ink, brushpen and fine liner, and I think I should have worked with a nip at some details, specially the hair...

....next pictures will have more color again, I promise ;)

Have a nice day! :D

Some Art Noir

Hi out there!

Time to try out something new! (Yeah, well, maybe I should work on ONE method at the time... or screw it, I just want to try out.)
This one is based on a scene from my (wannabe-someday-a-comic-but-is-still-in-progress-)story, and this is one of the main characters. Say Hello to Mr. Fhay! :D

Its pure black ink on cheap copy paper (which was a mistake, cause the ink was bleeding on several points >o<)

No comic today, sorry! :B

Cheers
