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

Hi guys, it happened again. I'm currently really enjoying to fill my sketchbook with color, so here the main part of the second page - my Hermione ♡ Original sketches are from Nov 2013 >> Link

Character Portrait

After deciding to fill my sketchbook with color I still wanted to keep sketching and create new stuff. Simply now I would directly ink and color them so that my sketchbooks will never be grey again : D

One evening we had a lot of friends over for D&D and one of them asked me if that's a sticker book? (pointing at this page of my sketchbook) Haha. Due to the bold egg shaped background it must have seemed that way from afar^^

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!

Webcomic - Initial Character Sketches

03.01.2015:

Happy New Year to yah all!!! =D

I hope you had a splendid Christmas and start in the new year. I'm currently brainstorming about a possible webcomic and therefor did some initial character sketches for my planned main character. It's all very loose in regard of storyline etc until now so don't know yet if it will be worth pursuing. We will see!

Color process

29.06.2014:

And the month is already nearing its end. For today I decided to work on one of my sketchbook pages further. Instead of drawing the lines per hand in photoshop I went with paths. I still have to learn a lot in that regard. I also quickly included a castle in the clouds in the background (not done with paths yet) to give the picture more depth and some kind of story^^ 

My original sketch you can find here.

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^^
