Viking Girl III.

22.02.2015:

And I revisited her yet again! =^.^= I sketched her back in Nov. 2013 in my back then new sketchbook as part of a contest. I never submitted the image, because she didn't look viking enough. But I always liked here.

I while later I painted her in photoshop again. But somehow messed up her face, which resulted in losing a lot of her character.

Now in regard of my personal challenge (inking and colouring all pages in my sketchbook) I revisited her again. She was already coloured, but very pale so I spiced her up. I really like how it came out and I'm getting more and more comfortable with copic markers.

Here the links to the old versions: sketch & digital

World Design

29.01.2015:

Hi guys! I personally really like to design buildings, characters, etc. Simple verything you need to define a world. But (for now at least) I don't have any ideas for stories which might take place in it. That said I always gave up really soon. Until I realised just recently that you can happily focus on designing worlds and people are still interested in it. =)

I'm sure that was obvious to a lot of people but I didn't have a clue beforehand. So here some sketches for the home of one of the shown characters and different takes on the characters silhouettes. Enjoy!

Happy 2014!!!

Hey guys!

Welcome to a new exciting year! I hope you all had an awesome christmas as well as new years eve!

I spend the last weeks finishing up my new Online Portfolio. It went online on January 1st. The results you can see here: http://sandrapinkertportfolio.weebly.com/

Besides that I finished my current contract with Pyrrhic Studios and started my new job hunt. I'm already in contact with some possible clients.

That said it wasn't much private drawing going on in January.

Here the one sketchbook page I managed between all that jazz :D

Hey guys! So my birthday is finally over and family and friends are back home. So time for drawing again. My interview went really well and the only thing left now is setting up the contract. I'm so excited about this project :D

The game is called "Noble" and is in the pre production stage right know. We are trying to get a full prototype done until August 2013 and then present it to the world through kickstarter! The guys at Pyrrhic Studios are really great and I'm looking forward to working with them.

My job is to do all the assets for the prototype. Such as characters, animations, effects, concepts, promo art, backgrounds, etc. So it won't get boring with so many different things to attend to! :D

But for know all I do will be under NDA. So I will update the blog later on, when the prototype is released. So it won't be that much going on here for a while. See yah!

Little Mermaid

25.01.2013:

Redid the mermaids body, because it looked totally wrong in case of values and structure. Like it much better this way. The farther I go with this image the more intimidating it get's. But I'm still in time. So let's see how it will turn out in the end.

Female Anatomy

20.01.2013:

So like promised here are some anatomy studies, focusing on the torso area. Also trying to understand the underlying muscles and bones. I started doing photo studies and then tried to draw the same girl again, only this time from my memory without looking at the photo reference or my drawing of it. Also I'm still trying to figure out how I can give volume in photoshop without going into detail and spending to much time on it. I think I'm getting slowly the hang of it :3 Ah, and I traced the outline by the photoshop photo study, because it wasn't the kind of study I was going for.

Be true with yourself

19.01.2013:

Decided to tackle human anatomy again. So I tried to draw some girls from imagination, so I would see where the biggest problem areas are and with the start of tomorrow I'm back to studying :)
