I’d love to share some insight on what’s going on with this one. If i had any myself.
There’s number 12, even though i enjoyed the Immortal Iron Fist Comics by Brubaker/Fraction/Aja i never really could take the guy serious.

I still struggle with simplistic stuff like this. But i enjoy it so much. Have to take out the Charley Harper book once more.
I’m so bad at doing regular things besides work. Sorry. I have to force myself to not just work but take time to sketch. Here’s another one.

Who ever said that dragons had to be creatures of flesh and blood?

Wishful thinking.
For warmer temperatures.
I’m a bit off my rythm due to the late nighter, but here’s todays sketch.
Daily-sketch #5
This one started out as a quick sketch but then i scribbled and colorized all night until 6am just to change the colors and lighting again, after a couple of hours of sleep but with fresh eyes.
I think I’ll have to dust off my bristol paper sheets and train my analog brush/ink work. I don’t like doing Lineart like that in Photoshop. It just… lacks… charm.
And it’s a pain in the ass to do all those straight lines in 3point perspective. Seriously!
One of my favorite erotic art-tumblr’s accepted my submission. Thanks a lot for your kind words!

And Duc added it to his tumblr even before. Thanks mate!
I smile a lot
Haiko uploaded three of the 13 illustrated cards to boardgamegeek and they got approved over night. The game has been published already under the name “Utopian Rummy”. I illustrated a revision of the game, new design and changes to the rules. This new version will be published as “Plato 3000″. As soon as there’s a standalone page for Plato 3000 I’ll add the link.
Card design by Haiko Günther, all illustration by me.

That’s sort of how it feels like if i go out these days. Knocked out cold by fierce temperatures.
Daily Sketch #4
I’m looking forward to making a thought-through illustration out of this.
Daily Sketch #3
Decided that i will do one not-work related sketch every morning as a warmup. This is todays.
Eine Kleinigkeit die ich Anfang des Monats für Anne gemacht habe im Austausch für ihre Hilfe an einer Visitenkarte.
A little something i did for Anne earlier this month in exchange for some help with a business card.
There isn’t much to this image. I painted it a few weeks ago. Another take on giving story hints in illustration work.
I wish you all a merry christmas and a great festive season. I hope to be able to share some insights on what’s going to happen in 2012 when we come closer to New Years Eve. Its going to be an interesting year!
Don’t forget that Daniels Wormworld-Saga will continue on Dec. 25th. That’s one big Christmas present for us all: The Wormworldsaga
I did the following images yesterday and today as a sort of experiment. I’ve been a fan of Bernie Fuchs, Coby Whitmore, Jon Whitcomb and the magazine illustrators from the 60s since i first saw images from them (which sadly is not so long ago).
I also took inspiration from Charles Vess whose artbook i bought last week in a local comicshop and who seems to be an admirer of Aubrey Beardsleys work as myself.
And than there’s a little bit of Tadahiro Uesugi in there as well… along with all the other artists i favor.
I wanted to see how the above mentioned illustrators (not so much Aubrey in here) might leave a mark on my way of painting.
Personally i like the pool murder image the best. Nowhere to run – which was the first – shows too much lineart and too little painting, and by that looks more influenced by Tommy Lee Edwards stuff (which might be due to the fact, that i read his comic “Turf” on the weekend).
The easy life on the other hand went to far in terms of realism on the car, the buildings and the overall colorscheme.
I’ll conduct more experiments in that direction, since it is one sort of illustration that i have been eager to learn and do more since some time. Maybe i even get an author to provide me with a nice little short story, so that i don’t have to make up crappy titles any more!
And a little b/w-sketch which has nothing to do with the above posted experiments, other than that i used the same brush for the lineart that i used for most parts of the paintings.
Letzte Woche schrieb mich dasMagazin an ob ich einverstanden wäre, wenn sie eine meiner Illustrationen für ihre Dezember Ausgabe nutzen würden. Natürlich war ich einverstanden, allerdings ist die Illustration schon ein paar Jahre alt und ich wollte zumindest noch etwas neues vorschlagen. Also hab ich Sonntag abend noch schnell ein paar Skizzen gemacht, die aber leider nicht genommen wurden. Naja kann man nix machen.
So oder so wird eine Illu von mir die Dezemberausgabe schmücken. Bin gespannt.
Engl:
Last week the german magazine dasMagazin contacted me and asked if i would allow them to use an illustration from me for their december issue. Of course i agreed, but since the illustration is a few years old i at least wanted to suggest something new. So i sat down saturday evening and did the following sketches, unfortunately they weren’t approved.
But nonetheless the december issue will feature my illustration on its cover. I’m looking forward to it.
She trembled for a moment. Was it supposed to be this troublesome? Nobody had warned her about all this. She got worried. “If this was to be expected, they surely would have told me”, she thought. “This can’t be right. This is so odd.”
But trembling is not falling, and so with little doubts she continued with small but steady steps to climb up her way. Her destination in an arms length reach. Or so she thought.
Does the word “pleasurous” even exist? It should. sounds pretty good ^^
not the only thing i drew yesterday evening after work. but the rest will follow at a later date because so far, it’s a 24panel comic which i will certainly not be able to finish so fast in just 3 hours after work.
More training, somehow i started drawing a hound, failed at it and than stuck with training drawing basset hounds.

R for with reference
It has been awefully silent on this blog for the last couple of weeks again. The reason is that after some troublesome times at work i found myself in a state of immobility. I lost all motivation to do anything. Wouldn’t draw or paint and there were only to states of mind: Reaaaally really angry or really depressed.
Thankfully and with the support from Maike i was able to start crawling up again from this pit. I got my equipment back home again, so that i can draw a bit every evening and changed something more major but i can’t speak about that just yet.
I wasn’t confident about sharing those sketches, because they are not “good enough”. But since i always shared the good as well as the bad ones from my sketchbooks, i decided to do it with these sketches as well.
I still feel mentally handicaped, but looking at this sheet i’m starting to get my confidence back that i will make progress. Hopefully fast
