Panels of the Week

Entry for Panels of the Week nr. 12: The Other Side. Nathan Long provided us with a story and script for this short comic, but we were allowed to deviate from it a bit. Finished this within a week, was good practice. I used to draw a lot of comics when I was a kid, so this was fun.

Art Crusade Duels

Old piece done for the Art Crusade at Conceptart.org. The overall idea was to do monthly battles on a large scale (bunch of artist againts another bunch of artists all interpreting the same topic for their side). There were also small 48 hour duels going on between two artists, also to a set topic.

The topic for this one was 'player 2 (defender) : you have a realisation - your aura changes, you realise the way of the world, you are enlightened on the battlefield and no harm can possibly befall you.' The character in the foreground is the opponents character from his previous round.

Environments

Some environments I forgot to put up. They're in chronological order, the first one is from several years ago, the last one is more recent. I need more practice with those though, environments are definately not my strongest point.

First one was a personal project for fun, the other two are for the Environment of the Week activity. Nr.2 had as topic 'Sculpture Garden on the Island of the Surreal', which is why I pushed the colours a bit far. Last one had as topic 'Two Ancient Markers' with the subtext 'Jutting out from the moors marking the path, they hint to what lies beyond'.

Baba Yaga

Entries for a combined Industrial Design- and Character Design of the Week challenge. The topic was an old (Russian) legend of the witch Baba Yaga, flying through the skies on her mortar with a pestle for steering and living in a hut on chickenlegs.

Both are done within a week while I was already busy with other things, so I didn't get around to put some colour on them.

Automotive Sketches

Several sketches I did in the Automotive Design class of this morning. All 20-30 minute sketches from photo reference, focussing on getting the character of the car rather than on perspective and rendering. Marker on A3 paper.

From top to bottom: Volkswagen Beetle from 1987, two Tatra T87's (the top one is a later version, note the more elegant lines) and a Citroën DS from 1955.

Construction Robot speedpaint-ish

2 hour speedpaint I did after playing too much Z: Steel Soldier.

24th Century Space Smuggler

Entry for Character of the Week 124: the topic was to portray a 24th Century Space Smuggler from Jamaican/Japanese origin.

Marker Studies

Some more older stuff done either for practice or assignment in class. Pen, markers, pencils and pastels.

Updating my blog...

High time I update this blog, I've been neglecting it for too long. So, first some older works. The first one are a couple of sketches with pen and marker that I did for practice purposes somewhere around 2007/2008, the second one is a painting I made for on my wall and is from around 2006.
