I have won a contest

Today i received a package, i wondered: "what the hell? i didn't order anything..."
The postguy was smiling all the time, probably about my bewildered look on the face.
Anyways, i read who send it "Miracle images"... i could not guess who that is, so i got me my scalpell and cut it open like a corpse, and opened it with my retractor arms and i found a not above alle the paperstuff.
It read:
"Mighty Congratulations!"

And then i flew over the text and saw it had to do with star wars, i ripped the paper aside and found the boxes that you can see down there.
I flipped, that was somehting. I totally forgot about the contest i participated ages ago, 5 month ago to be precise.



The cool thing is, you can see my contest entry in the magazine, if you can pick up the german star wars das offizielle magazin #62 on July the 6th.
But maybe you can't, so here is a small version of it:

Battle Armor He-Man

This is a Design test for a project of mine.



Edit:
Somebody said about the drawing above: "It looks like Popeye"
Well, now i show him, that he looks a bit different.
Enjoy: Popeye the most powerful man in universe

King Hisss - Pencils

In this post i will update from time to time the development of my pencils of King Hisss. As step by step so to speak.


Here is the next, found a little time to continue.



Today i build something in 3D. I wasn't sure about the light and shadows in the drawing, and sinse i can't take photos of a real staff with the light and shadows, i had to come up with something else. So the computer helped me define light and shadow.
I build the primitive after the reference of the toy, so it looks different than the one in the preview drawing. Maybe i change that.
Here is the rendering:

King Hiss

This is the King of the Snakes, in an Alex Ross kinda way. This digital illustration is my guideline for light and shading for the real drawing, wich i start in a few days.

Enjoy:

Skull

This Skull is painted with traditional tools on real paper... i have to mention that, for the most images posted here are digital.

For a commission i am trying to adapt the drawing style of Alex Ross. He paints his pages in a traditional way, and i think they look just awesome.

After trying out several papers i could find, here is an attempt on bristol board. At last the right kind of paper that i need for the job.
Now i have to practice more.












And here a little tweeking on the levels in Photoshop, but in the end, i have to manage to get those contrast in the real painting:
