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!

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.

There isn’t much to this image. I painted it a few weeks ago. Another take on giving story hints in illustration work.
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.

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.
At some point when you’re good at doing something, it doesn’t matter if you like doing it. It is expected of you that you continue doing so, because you are just so damn good at it.

It took me about 14h to complete, from white canvas to this.
This time the reference map consisted of images from Arthur Hacker, Fausto Olivares, Frederik Marinus Kruseman and Mother Nature
-You look bad, Herald, she said.
Beauty was never a requirement he answered, not when i was made king nor when i was made slave.
-What a shame.
Did you come here to mock me or to set me free, witch?
- Can’t i do both?
Wie gestern bereits gesagt, habe ich auch für dieses Bild Sargents Chess Game als Referenz benutzt, aber nicht nur das. Hier meine für das Bild angelegte Referenzpinnwand. Neben Sargent finden sich darauf auch mehrere Werke von Peder Mork Monsted, John William Waterhouse und Ruan Jia.
Die beiden Fotografien von asiatischen Frauen sind aus der Google-Bilder Suche entnommen, leider ohne Urheberangaben.
Ach ja und rechts bin ich.
I am referencing John Singer Sargents Chess Game a lot lately, it’s interesting to see how different the results turn out to be. You’ll probably wouldn’t have thought that the Chess Game was a colour ref for this image, but in the one you’ll get to see tomorrow it will be more obvious I think.
I am officialy on vacation right now and originally planned to spent my time wisely on something more valueable, but because there’s a lot of stuff going through my mind right now the pictures i do produce while on vacation turn out to be … more of a occupational therapy, unfortunately.
