The Kraftpaper series, 3

[english]

Continuing the kraftpaper drawings, here are numbers nine to twelve. I'm running out of patterned papers I like ;) and out of ideas. But you know how it is - once you make it past the blockade, ideas will start pouring back in, probably when I'm done with the sixteenth drawing, and they will all sound better and more interesting than the ones I so far...

All thumbs. In German, you don't cross fingers, but press your thumbs. More can never hurt.
Firmly rooted. Self-explanatory.
Keep you mouth shut. You have to "hold your mouth" in German.
Viola. Injured eyes aren't black but blue in German, and are also called a "Veilchen".

Weiter geht's mit der Kraftpaper-Serie, hier sind Nummer Neun bis Zwölf. Allmählich gehen mir die hübschen Muster aus ;) und die Ideen. Aber man kennt das ja - ist die Blockade erst überwunden, fallen einem all die Ideen ein die man gern vorher schon gehabt hätte...

Daumendrücken. So hab ich's mir als Kind immer gedacht. Mehr Daumen können ja wohl kaum schaden.
Fest verwurzelt. Selbsterklärend.
Halt den Mund. Uh, sind mir die "Mundhalten"-Witze über.
Veilchen. Stiefmütterchen sind Veilchen - wusste ich noch gar nicht.

[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. Das hatte ich aus der Jobanzeige nicht geahnt und so war es eine ziemliche Herausforderung, weil Mechas eigentlich nicht gerade mein Ding sind ;) Aber die Arbeit daran war cool, und ich schätze die Rüstung jetzt noch mehr; obwohl ich immer eine Vorliebe für die Rüstung der Ausgestoßenen hatte (und vermutlich habe ich alle Namen gr

I've long admired the techniques of Android Jones' colourful abstract portraits and tried something like it myself. I don't yet have Painter 12, which has mirror features - those would have been handy - but did this in Painter 11 with a load of tools I don't always use. I spent the entire morning creating new papers, patterns, and brush features to use - papers are really great to get texture in! I had actually wanted to show a progress .gif of a character painting I did in this style, but it turned out to be several MBs big, so I can't put it here :( You can still see the picture in my deviantart gallery. I used a lot of different brushes here. I'v been thinking about sharing some of my brushes, or brush settings I found useful; I'm not sure if it isn't the particular way I handle them though, that gets me my results. Any thoughts?
