24 HOURS COMIC - UNFINISHED.
DEAR READER!
in june i took took part in a 24 hour comic competition. this simply means that you have to create a comic including the story and drawing within 24 hours. i failed. i created a dystopic scifi story, made a storyboard (which took the most time), created the frames on the final pages and started with the pictures. i only got six pages finished until time was up. i slept three hours in that time cuz i knew i wouldn't get any sleep at homewith my daughter. but i decided to finish that comic. there was some trouble which kept me from finishing it earlier but i hope to get i done before the year's up. stay tuned!

POSTER DESIGN - SPOT ON.
HEY FOLKS!
some months ago i visited a local concert and was shocked by the (awful) flyer design. of course, diy is better than not doing any flyer but i prefer a well made flyer instead of one that's just there because some people were too lazy to ask some capable guy. so did the dudes from the location "die börse". they make several events over the year and were (in my eyes) not able to promote a local event in a proper way.
i asked if i could support them and got green lights. from the beginning i wanted to include the original concept of the event's slogan "spot on" but i missed some live in the "just typo"-concept. so i drew a nice little creature and logotype, both fully digital and played with the layout and voilà: here's a suitable poster for a local punk show.

ARTWORK - KERNS "FÜR DICH KEIN HANSA MEHR".
YO!
boys and girls, i had some months of silence around my creative output. despite you’re not an insta-follower for my stuff, you probably thought i quit. well, i had some heavy months where i made manymanymany decisions… but maybe i will talk about that shit later.
today i give you some new artwork stuff i did for a german punk band from my hometown. the band’s called KERNS and they just finished their new ep called „FÜR DICH KEIN HANSA MEHR“. hansa is german beer brand so you can translate the title with „NO MORE HANSA FOR YOU“. but don't be afraid, only the title's in german. the picture was done very fast with biro, scanned and typo added. check out these friendly dudes and have a hansa!
cheers, robert
p.s.: my shift key is broken „smile-emoticon“

DIGITAL DRAWING LESSON.
Yo Dudes!
I got a new tool. My old Intous 3 Tablet retired because I made a present to myself. In the hope of being a little more productive in my illustrative cases I bought a Cintiq. And finally I can do what I wanted to do so much earlier: Drawing fully digital pictures. My Intous fucked up pretty good in the performance, it had much delays in bringing the lines on the screen and it made horrible shaky lines. I hated creating digital images and asked myself if ther's something wrong with my drawing style. Now I know it wasn't. It's been a technical reason. Trying the Cintiq showed that everything is fine with me. I tried some line art as well as a character study shown below to get warm with my new tool. The drawing feels very natural. Doing line art feels nearly analog to what I do on paper. And now I'm gonna push my horizon by starting to paint digital. I really love digitally painted pictures. For my first try it's looking not that bad. Below the picture there's the analog template and a painting I tried with the Intous earlier. I prefer the upper picture. The only thing that's left to do now is getting better and faster. Swoosh!

GOOD VIBRATIONS.
Boys and Girls!
I did some tiny picture story by accident while my daughter tried to improve her crawling skills. I worked on it over a few days just for some minutes. I tried a coloring but I prefer the "naked" version. Ah, when I had to name the file after scanning I listened to the BEACH BOYS.

I WANNA MAKE A COMPUTER GAME #3.
Hey Folks!
We got a little further with the thing that’s hopefully turning out as a computer game. After I tried the character with pencil and faded digital colors last time we decided to try a new look. Flow placed the figure in some of the mood pictures and we saw that the character doesn’t work well with the hard outlined backgrounds. The best result made a picture made with charcoal. So we decided to implement the style with charcoal. Everything. Characters, objects, landscapes.
First I drew the character map once again which was great fun because drawing with charcoal is way faster than with pencil. Last year, we already had some plans to do shit like we're doing right now and I thought about drawing with charcoal and so I did a rough test animation of the landscape. I wanted to try the effect of different layers in association with the blurring of the atmosphere. I gave Andi and Flow the graphic parts and they built a quick and dirty test room, where they placed the charcoal character and voilà: the style looks great.
From the technical side we also want a blurry visualization to the player but we have to see how can achieve this without wasting all performance resources.
I just added some modular plants and a connectable tree and Flow did a nice landscape today. Ah, and we did a first rough level map which shall give us some visionary guiding light.

HEY KING! - BLOG ONLINE.
Hey Dudes!
I just launched a new project. My new blog "HEY KING!" is online! From now on I will do a weekly cartoon to push myself a little in a creative way. The cartoon's about the horse King and the girl Mona and can be read by all dudes that are able to speak German.The form is very loose. I just use a pentel pen to illustrate the created dialogues and do a slightly coloring with pencils. Visit the BLOG frequently and don't miss a single issue!

I WANNA MAKE A COMPUTER GAME #2.
Hey Folks,
it's been a while since my last post (again). But here are hot news for you. I'm currently working on the documentation of my bachelor thesis (right, I've done it back in 2011, but I've never documentated it in a suitable way). This means, I'm doing lot of Photoshop- and Blogger-work and try to reassemble my memories... Totally nuts.
But here are some news for game. We (my buddies Andi and Flow and myself) worked a little further on the main character. I did two more views while Andi and Flow tried to bring the drawing into 3d. Here is a first rough look. We will try to make that bastard with charcoal instead of pencil and digital color. Let's see how it works.

UNKNOWN CREATURES.
Folks!
Here's a picture I loosely doodled with pencil in my sketchbook last summer. I always wanted to ink it but I never found any time for it. Until now. I'm not 100% percent satisfied with all the lines especially with the forest and Stegosaurus in the middle of the picture but that's life... All in all, it's quite good.
