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

Daily Sketch #6

I registered at deviantart yesterday, hope to see you there!?

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

Just found this on a tumblr i follow. Unfortunately no credit given. I’d love to know who the artist is to search for more works like this. It’s fabulous.

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!
Eros Art

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

The art of freelancing – Noah Bradley

edit: OK, now i listened through the 30mins. There’s basically nothing wrong, but i’m also not very impressed. The kind of information he talks about is available for free and also quite ofen common sense. Instead of spending 57$ on the video (so far there hasn’t been any reason for it being a video instead of a podcast anyways) you could as well register at one of the large community sites like conceptart.org, digitalartforum.de, cgsociety, deviantart etc. and connect to other artists. Try to learn if there’s a local meetup of artists, go the your local scetchcrawl event and speak to other artists or just reach out via e-mail to professional artists. Quite often you’ll get a nice response.
Sorry, no 57$ from me. Don’t think it’s worth my money & time.
I get more out of escapefromillustrationisland,an audible registration and listening through Linchpin and the harvard business review.

I didn’t know Leopold Schmutzler until today but i was immediately caught by his intense semi-erotic paintings. Brief research didn’t turn up much info on him, have to look into him further possibly by actually going to a library.
He lived and worked in austria and germany until 1940 and i guess it didn’t help his reputation that he was put onto the infamous “Gottbegnadeten”-list – the list of artists that were in favor of the Nazis and were therefore spared from military service or pursuit.
I’ll search for more infos on him and see if i can digg up a larger gallery of his works or even a book.
