Summer Break is over

...if you can call this weather summer at all :D
It was bad enough to give me a week lasting cold >__<*'

Anyways, I've been practicing some running sketches and quick digital colo! :D

Also I'm trying to put one of the comic pages I've scribbled in the last time in color, so stay tuned for that one. @_@

Have fun! :D

It's Wu again

Hello again everyone! :D

Last time was full of stuff again. I went to Berlin to visit some friends, met a friend I only knew online for years the first time in real life and went to the Making Games Talents in Munich. It was all great fun! :D
>>Also, if you read this, dear person I met at the MGTs, I loved your drawings!! Please contact me, bc you were really cool and unfortunately I don't have any contact info of yours, and I'd really love to see more of your comic! :D <<

So, enough of this (who reads this anyway) and more for drawings!

It's Wu again, and I somehow managed to deal with my long time enemy "black ink" - I really really love how the outlines look, and I think I worked out the colors fine, too.

Her hand is what I love especially of this picture. But allover, this is one of my favorite pictures I drew of her 'till now :D
Of course I did a pencil drawing underneath the ink, and traced to a more ink-friendly paper. Have a look at this:

 The pencil-version is more rough, and thou' I love the rough look of pencil, this is one of the very few moments I love the ink and color version more than the pencil picture.
What do you think? :D

Take care of yourselves! Eat more vegetables! No really, more and more people are ill here at the moment, so really, take care. 

I love you! See you soon! :D

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

Shading tryout.

Actually I don't have much to say today. I'm desperatly trying to throw together an usable portfolio so I can go become a trainee somewhere for 6 month... guess I'll tell you more on that topic in a later post, so back to this one. (But if anyone has a hot tip or advice or anything for a design/illustration/2D animation internship, just contact me ;) )

It's just trying out colors and shading. Who cares for backgrounds! (or swords for that matter)

Strage pose is strage although I drew this one with help of a stock photo. Also I think the foot is either enormously stretchable or broken. Ouch.

Take care! :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! ;)

Last post of the year!

... and I'm sick.
Like, literally, I can hardly speak and my nose is runny and my eyes 're streaming. Yikes.
Best conditions for a start in a new year - it can only get better >o<

I'll give you two pics on this 31st of December 2013 :3 Still from that sneaky comic project ;) And then I'm gonna go to bed again and sleep till' midnight.

Happy new year everybody! :D

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

Watercolor sketch

Hey out there! :D

No animations today, I'm working full capacity on that ballet-animation-thing. Maybe news from that at some point... ^^

BUT I have a (new) sketchbook and sometimes there are presentable pics in these XD

So, have this sketch of Emma:

Maybe I'm starting to like water colors :D What do you think?

Have a nice weekend!!

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! ^^

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 ;)

The craving for vengeance is born

Hey hello people!

Yesterday my beloved graphic tablet payed the debt of nature. May it rest in peace. Beware! Even wacom tablets will get broken if you soak them in coffee a night long...
That happend some time before. Actually, inbetween it was working fine and I forgot about that accident, but I unscrewed it after it did nothing (or better, nothing normal) anymore, and there is rust and/or oxidation on the active surface, so...
Handle your grapic tablet with care! They can work fine for more than just 4 years. Seriously! >_<

Okay, enough of this. I scribbled with pencils again! :D
Meet this amazing vengeful lady:

...guess pencil will forever be my tool number one... ^^;

Have a nice day! :D

Blue Shark

Welcome again you people out there! 8D

You may now be introduced with some amazing piece of art, done in a breathtaking style, while using only a fineliner and a blue edding, accentuated only with a white ball pen...
Blah blah blah...
... let's skip that bullsh*t, I just love this pic from my sketchbook ;)

I'd like to go to an aquarium again. I was in a big one in Belgium once, and they had glass tunnels and corridors through the aquariums and you sometimes had sharks swimming next to you or over your head. Amazing! :D Do you've ever been to a aquarium? ^^

Have a nice day! :D

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<

BANG BANG BANGs :D

YISSS
I have 37 Followers. What the hell?!
I LOVE YOU GUYS! :D
Thank you so much! >o<

Back to topic ;D

Lots of bang bang bang here this time :D

Since it's some kind of semi-; pseudo-; wannabe- police-story  I'm woking on, there has to be SHOOTING SCRIBBLE PRACTICE 8D

...and of course with a character that won't even be in there. Enjoy! 8D
Click makes bang bang bigger ^^

All pencil in my sketchbook, with some PS-Specialeffects on it 8D YAY!

By the way, I'm planning to redo the design of this blog, so don't worry if it looks somewhen the next time. It's going to be more.. hat-like, since the description says "The one with that hat" ;) Hope you'll like it 8D

And. I have some freetime now, and I want to practice stuff, but I'm not 100% sure what to do. So what do you think I should definitely practice more? Suggestions*? 8D
It's not just stuff I did the last time, you can dig out stuff from last year and tell me "YEAH I WANT YOU TO DRAW MORE ANIMATION CUZ ITS AWESOME!" or stuff like that. Kay? ^^

Stay tuned! ;D

*Not what you want to see more, but what I should practice more, okay? "MORE BOOBS" is an invalid answer! XD

Weird underwater party! :D

Today's post is again: SCRIBBLES! 8D

Okay, maybe this aint a scribble anymore. I just couln't sleep at night and had to draw a dancing scene, and I somehow got lost on the scribble and began to threw copic color on it, and at last I also found my white ink pen and added some bubbles.

Enjoy! :D
(Click for bigger sight :D)

Blue blue blue! Yeah, the light here isn't the best, so it's even more sketchy in daylight....
...in fact, the light here is pretty shitty. Anyone knows these daylight-simulation-lamps? Are they worth the money? :/ I'm thinking of buying one as a birthday present for myself... XD

By the way, I'm nearly done with the stuff for this semester. Only one more research paper and I'm done. YEAH!! Holidays! Time for interesting private projects! Finally time to draw my comic! And fun! Action! Party! 8D or, actualy, lots of being-awake-at-night, sleeping the whole day, eating stuff you shouln't and incredible lazyness...

And, how are your plans? Or do you have holidays at all? ^^;

Stay tuned! :D

That guy in the caddy

Surprise!
It's been a while, and probably there will be some time till' I post again. Why?
Tests! Written examinations! DEADLINES!!!

Which also means, I'll probably show you some of the stuff I've done last time for these. Yay!

Have some scribbles now, so that I can go back to work ;D

Guys in shopping cards  8D This is more comfortably than it looks like. Sometimes I wished I had a shopping card for my own XD
But I got no place for that anyway.

They're from my sketchbook. I like to draw weird stuff the last time.... And city views! But it's too cold to sit outside at the moment.... Spring, I'm waiting for you! >o<

Btw, are these pics blurred on your screen, too?? (or too dark, too light... whatever, tell me) Because they shouln't.... or I've messed up some settings... gnn

Anyway, have a nice time! :D
