doesn't work...

hm... basically my plan was to upload a lot of pictures from my weekends work on the Backgrounds but somehoe it doesn't work...

I'll try it again later

Environement - concept scetches

It's better to think first then to go directly in to 3dMax and start to model an environement...

As I get lost in very time consuming work while sitting in front of the Computer I thought it might really be better to take my beloved fineliners and scetch a bit around to save a lot of work and time afterwards.

The rough idea of how the setting should look was already in my head but the challenge was to translate it in to a quite small 3d environement that can be used for the shooting with the character models.

ILLUSTRATION - WHAT WRE YOU WAITING FOR

Once again a new Illustration... I wasn't in a colourfull mood so its all BW.

The picture is an interpretation of the copper engraving like technique of Edward Gorey or Gustave Doré.
OK I have to admit they are much more detailed then my little finliner scetches but my research goes more in the direction of how to create with a few lines a wall structure or the illusion of space

When I draw or paint my subjects are mainly surreal or odd stills. In the first place the seem meaningless but on a second view they enforce to think what could be ment and in a third step they are very profound (or meaningless HAHAHA)

Illustration RockSoc Assault

During the last Assault from RockSoc in the GLO I began to duddle aome of the dancing people. I totally forgot about this till I looked through my scetchbook today and discovered some hieroglyphic unreadable drawings. But not all of them were rubbish so I decided to take one in to "post" in Photoshop ;-)

It might be one of the girls dancing but maybe I just invented the character - never drink and draw... or was it "never drink and drive"? Who knows ;-)

Illustration - just for fun

I am too much in front of screens. As longer as I continue to work like this the bader gets my performance....

So distraction is the action for perfaction ;-)

Today I explored some areas of Notts by foot, went to a teahouse and made some doodles there. They are very much inspired by the latest bookish things I read... "Johnny the homicidal maniac" and "Amphigorey" by Edward Gorey.

When I was back home I redraw one of them a bit larger and added some kind of goreyish graphical structure to the areas to make the whole comic look more interesting.
