SKETCH-O-RAMA #3.

Dear Folks!

I give you another round off my tiny sketchbook. Freestyle-Sketch-Action forever!

Cheers, Robert

 

COMMISSIONAL WORK.

People!

Hm, I guess, I forgot a thing. Some months ago I made a post where I wrote about a job in my real job. Since some months this "job" is finished and I can finally present you the result. The animation promotes a networking solution for the company I'm in. I simply did the character design while the marketing department did all the rest. Enjoy!

Cheers, Robert

 

THEY KNOW NOT.

Yo!

Here's my feel good picture of Febuary. Listen to the chilling tunes of THE HOPE CONSPIRACY.

THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #8.

Folks,

here I am again and I give you some new work-in-progress stuff from my children's book project. The ideas grow and with it the tiny world of these nice creatures. In some weeks I guess I'm going to have all the pictures developed. Then I will assemble all these sketches to some kind of a storyboard and see whats next... But until then there's a little hard work to do. So, let's go on!

Cheers, Robert

 

EGG-BOY.

Yo people!

Sometimes I use to dream. One night a few days ago I dreamt of this thing below. I guess, my subconscious mind has a fine sense of humor.

Cheers, Robert

 

THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #7.

Hey Folks,

This week I went on with the creation of the pages. I did some stuff over the last weeks but there is still a lot of work to be done. How I create a picture out of the blue? Well, I have a thought of what must be shown on the page or a feeling how the mood must be and then I start sketching. I mostly start with the "main attraction area" where the action is and then there follow some "unpopular" spaces where you can discover things. Normally I use to make a few versions before I vaguely have that still from that movie which is in my mind. Then I continue with placing objects, "terraforming", setting dark and bright areas and so on. The more concrete the pictures get, the more details and their position, size, color and meaning will be determined. I'm totally exited to see where this will guide me!
I even did some character design for a "dark creature" which will be a nice college of our main character. I tried different styles between Dracula, mad scientists and Matrix agents and I guess over the next week there will be my favorite character screaming and shouting at me: "Hey! Choose me!" Until then I simply go on and enjoy what I do!

Cheers, Robert

 

JESUS OF THE MOON.

Hey happy people!

Here's a small drawing I made in my tiny sketchbook. I colored it, but I like it better uncolored. I simply wanted to make a body that looks like a meteor. The result is a pimply and depressed teenager who is walking alone and naked in the rain. Ah, and she has no hair...

Listen to NICK CAVE.

THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #6.

Hey Folks!

Last week I struggled a little with my motivation. I had kind of a drawer's block - okay, I know this is bullshit, but it still kept me from drawing one full evening. Too bad, I have to go through things like this alone but that's life...
Today, I was a bit busier. Here you get the stuff from the creation of the pictures I did today. I did some layout stuff and went on with some character design. Even if I have some small monsters, there have to be more, to complete my "nightmare-terror"-rut. It's not easy to develop cute characters, but it's fun when I see a nice and friendly creature done with my hands. And like I've written in a former post, it will take much time for the image structures to make them as "dynamic" (my word for a good image structure) as possible. Let's go on!

Cheers, Robert

 

SKETCH-O-RAMA #2.

Hey dudes and dudettes!

Okay, here you get some sketches from the last days. Enjoy this freestyle stuff!

Cheers, Robert

 

POSTER DESIGN.

Yo Folks!

Today I give you a nice Art Deco inspired poster for  a local rock show. The illustration's done in one dark hour simply with ink while the coloring and layout stuff is done on saturday afternoon. Thanks to Willi (who's playing bass in PRIDE AND EGO DOWN) for asking me to do that!

Ah, and you can also check out the dudes from GRIM VAN DOOM!

Cheers, Robert
