Maleficent, Header and creepy dude

23.06.2014:

Study-time! I'm still trying to get the hang of values as well as skin. So here it goes. Angelina Jolie has such a cool nose and sensual lips. It's not from this world :3

Next I started out with a sketch for a header. Did a few versions. Let's see when I will finish it and with what version...

I really really don't wanna show you this. But I promised to document everything here. EVERYTHING! So here it goes. It's really awful. I already was burned out and hungry when I started it and that's exactly how it looks. I still am not good at painting faces from imagination but I'm also not THAT bad^^

Hey guys! I'm feeling quite creative currently. So I kept working from imagination in my new sketchbook. Colors are from copic markers and colored pencils. The first and second one are based on sketches from yesterday.

Final Design

31.10.2013:

Hi guys,

here the final design for my client. Next to me was another possible artist he checked out for his game and in the end he went with him. Because they were both living in the same city and therefor could meet in person and didn't have issues time zone wise. Which is totally understandable for me, I would have done the same!

Also I have a lot of respect for him, because he offered this paid for art test. Unfortunately there are not many people out there who do so.

It still was a fun experience, especially since I haven't designed any animal like characters yet. I have still a lot to learn and look forward to new exciting challenges! :)

Mini contract

Hi guys,

I got a small request regarding a dog-like super hero. I wanted to do something a bit different at first, so I went with a worgen like creature. Luckily I also did a more generic super hero type character. Because that's what he wanted to go with in the end ;)

Here the initial sketches (I didn't send them to him yet, he got tomorrows version):
