Calendar 2014

I had long plannend a calendar and finally got around: you can get the 2014 calendar on my deviantArt account. For lack of private paintings across all categories, it is themed around my world Genius Loci.

"Das Schwarze Auge" Art Dump - Khunchom

Image
When Ulisses' art director told me about visualizing Khunchom, I think I was scared stiff for a moment - Khunchom being one of the largest cities of Aventuria - but in the end, it was pretty cool to give such a place my own touch. I made a 3D model in Blender to help with the perspective. --- Als Ulisses' Art Director mir davon erzählte Khunchom zu illustrieren, war ich einen Moment starr vor Schreck - Khunchom ist eine der größten Städte Aventuriens - aber schließlich war es ziemlich cool einem solchen Schauplatz meinen Anstrich zu verleihen.

Fallout X-01 Power Armor Re-design

[english - deutsch unten] Fallout Enclave X-01 Power Armor Re-design. Done for a client who was aiming for a series over time, showing a progression of engineers from the D.C. Wasteland on a more mecha-styled side. I had no idea about that from the job offer, and it was quite the challenge, since mecha isn't exactly my forte ;) But I learned a bit, and appreaciate the Power Armor even more. Although I was personally always partial to the Outcast Power Armor. [deutsch] Ein Redesign der Power-Armor-Rüstung aus Fallout. Der Kunde wollte eine zeitliche Entwicklung zeigen, wie Ödland-Ingenieure die Rüstung mit mehr Mecha-Flair weiter entwickeln würden.

The Oak Dryad (Texture Quest II)

Image
The synthetic paper is... weird. It's made for watercolours; it does feel like painting on plastic. It doesn't soak at all, and paint lifts off it easily. I start with some spattering effects with acrylics and inks, which become muddy soon. After trying to get some other texture effects going which fails, i turn to simpler drip effects, diluted an understated cool green and brush it onto the long side while tipping the board to make it flow. Interestingly, it runs along the coloured pencil lines I had drawn, which looks nice. I work all over the piece with brushstrokes, trying to get a feeling for how much water to add and how to blend strokes. I scratch out some lines to help with bark texture with scratching knives. It's only slowly moving into a direction I like; I use a compass for some circles and find the pencil scratches down to the surface, lifting paint off. I drip some more wet paint around the place and finally use the alleged strength of the synthetic, and rub d...
