Little preview.
I liked the colors somehow.

Queen of Hearts

Some doodeling

Ascent to Heaven

Okay, sinse the Angel goes down, there has to be a devil going up. All about ballance.

This is the Original with a little tweaking on the Levels from the scan. I didn't want to do wings on the original because i didn't know wich to use first. The little Batwings, or black feathers? But seeing these now i thing i will do the feathers.

Descend to hell

Something different this time.
Sketched around a little to find some stuff to paint later and this is the result:
An Angel on the way down to hell.
Why? Don't know yet, but i liked the idea.

Graphite this time, no digital lead.

Frank Frazetta passed away

The worst news for me, i found out today, that Frank Frazetta passed away on May 10th at age 82.
He was a great artist, probably the best for me in a way that nobody can reach.
I always loved to look at his work, wonder how he did this, or that... the fantasy and all the covers and posters for movies he did, every piece is great. I always wanted to meet him one day, that was a dream of mine, and it won't happen. Sadly.
He seemed to be so nice what i saw on his documentary "Painting with Fire".
Seemed to have a good life.

Hope he didn't suffer and wherever he is, he is well.
I will miss him a lot!!!
My condolences to his family.


Here are two of his greatest artworks. He defined the look of Conan the Barbarian.
And the Deathdealer wich became a cover for the german videobox of the movie Fire & Ice.

And another Mr. Freeze.
Took me a while, i tried so many things. I had a vision in mind, but i couldn't quite get it right on the virtual paper. As usual i got lost in the details... wich i didn't intend to do. The image is 11x17 inches (almost DIN A3 in germany) and is completely done in Photoshop.
This was almost what i wanted.




To make it more interessting for a wallpaper i added the smoke and the Batman logo.
