January 2012 Recap
January is over. The first month of being a freelancer again after one year of employement as Lead Concept Artist. So how’d it go?
Pretty good actually. But i have to start with the end of december.
By the end of december i had signed a contract with a new art-rep. He’s new but the contract was fair (quite unusual) and i’m confident that it will be a great relationship. He already gathered a stunning team of illustrators which should tell you a bit about how good the contract and the contact is.
At the beginning of january i worked on some advertising layout illustrations which unfortunately i won’t be able to show you for at least a year or two. It had some really strange motifs to be illustrated, but it was fun to do and a great start into the month.
After that i started doing some work on a private project together with my lovely girlfriend Maike and with help from Thomas Ulbricht of Lockruf.
I had to pause the work on the private project to do a test piece for a AAA-title. Seems like the test piece was well recieved and i will do more work for them in the following months. Can’t talk or show anything for at least the next 3 years. Sorry.
I did a small illustration for Anne Zender in exchange for some help with a business card for my brother, i posted the illustration a few days ago.
And after the test piece i spent the last 10-14 days illustrating a small card came for the Cambridge Games Factory – this job has been made possible by my friend Haiko, who’s doing the design work on the whole game. I’ll be able to show some of the illustrations in a few days or maybe even later this day.
For february right now i have a small book cover illustration on my ToDo-List, a movie poster, another illustration for Anne, more work on the private project and more concept art. But it’s just the first day of february, so things might change.
