Raaawr

Creature! Needed to draw something weird :) This is a ram/goat/lion thing! I like it's spindly little legs, it isn't a creature made for fighting despite trying to look intimidating - maybe it's it's defence mechanism...

Stuff!

Some little bits and pieces - first is a room with lots of pc screens and general mess (perfect!) and the next is a quick sketch of a crack in the ground, yay! Need to do more, moooore

The Forest

I know I said I would do more environments, but here's an animatic and storyboard to pass the time, hehe! No epic story, just a meeting in a forest that leads to violence...

Experimenting...

Orriiiite! Gonna start trying out some environment pics, as it's my very very weak point, and I need the practise :) Will try and put up little sketch versions too. So this first one is a little play around with textures and framing. The one after is a sketch of a lab room, with something creepy in a tank in the corner and a nosey cat. :)

Speedy piccy

Here's a lil speed paint, was more about playing around with some nice texture brushes we were given by a co-worker (danke!) No real story to it..some fortress tower thing, holding a glowing light that the guy and his companion on the hill are gazing at...maybe they want it? :O

Flying Monster Board

Orrite! Here's the board for the Flying Monster animatic from last week (meant to update it sooner, gah!)

Video post!

Allo! Here's my latest board, in video form :) (I will put it into a board to view seperately too) It features a deadly monster, of which many hunters have tried to kill...will the latest hunter succeed?



Since I've now figured out all this embedded videos stuff, thought I'd post the other videos from my other animatics - enjoy!!





:D

Fluff

The fluff monster - this time lots of them! Here's the storyboard for it below, but click on the youtube link, and you can see it 'animated' and with music! ;)

Weird creature

Weird creature! Did this using a technique Truds showed me; drawing a weird shape in marker pen, then turning the paper over and making a creature out of that shape. Is a nice idea, as it helps you to draw shapes I wouldn't normally. :) So I showed the little sketch it's based off of to. Excuse the neon colours, but I had to ;D

Zbrush fun!

Like meine schwester Truds, I am also trying out a bit of zbrush! Really fun tool to use, and nice to learn too :) So I tried out doing a human head very roughly (yes, he looks like he needs a good meal or 2!) and also the Fluff Monster! Would like to do a 'proper' one at some stage.
There's something about the clay coloured 3d stuff that always looks edible to me...like chocolate. :)

Flea's Trials

Hallo! Latest update is a storyboard I did, called 'Flea's Trials' - young Flea must complete his trials at the old tree by the cliffs, in order to grow up and be a...thing ;p

Made an animatic for it too, located here:

Creepy thing!

I decided to draw something a bit creepier this time, as there's been a high percentage of fluffiness! So I thought I'd draw something I wouldn't want to bump into down a dark alley. Not really a chrismassy theme to end with, but Merry Christmas!

Solemn Red Panda

The Solemn Red Panda....very serious. -_- (Red pandas are my latest obssession, just checkout a video of them, they're amazing!) Just a quick morning drawing. :)

Christmassy card :)

Orrite! Did this pic for my fellow Crytekkers at work - it's a big fluffy monster destroying Frankfurt, aaaw. :3 Merry Christmas!!

Speed pic

Quick half hour speed pic of an alien mech thing ;D A kind of spindly ornate mech, that carries around a big eye in the middle of it (well why not? ;) Want to do more speed pics,....or maybe a nice big finished painting. :)

Sketchy sketch sketch

Orrite! Just a really quick sketch pic update here - was playing around with different brushes and not relying on a texture to do an alien-inspired creature here. I hate the 'background', but I just wanted to stick something in behind.
Would like to do some more quick sketchy drawings too. :)

Canvas painting!

Orrite! This new update is a scan in of a canvas painting I did for a friend. It's relatively small (so it looks cuter that way ;) and is of some rather extravagant deer crossed with a monster. :) I love doing silhouette work....it's painted in gouache, which is another fave of mine.

Beowulf and Grendal

Time for an update! I have been lazy recently with updating, so here's the latest pic I have been working on, for a Red Snow project on Beowulf and Grendal. :) We were free to come up with our own interpretation, so I wanted Grendal to be especially both ornate and nasty. :D

Timmy!

This is Timmy, a co-workers dog! (Complete with small fluffy orange monster ;)

Evil red fluff

Just a lil' update - this is the nemesis of the blue fluff from previous posts, rwar!

Es ist sehr heiss

Guten Tag! 3 new random pics to take a look at :) There's a weird goat creature, a lizardy thing, and a gangly robot, all rather fast images. :)
Cheers for looking!

Fuzzy

A profile pic of the city-destroying(?) fuzzy monster! Raaawr!

Uhoh...

The big fuzzy monster again! Not yet attacking, but the human forces are taking no chances...

Tree of Doom

Tree of doom! (with Flea hiding behind it :)
Just a little experimental piece I did.

Rawr

This is the latest monster to come rampaging through the cities!.....But will it go crazy? It appears calm at the moment..

.

Priestesssssssss

Another little update, this time with a random warrior priestess lady. :)

Sci-fi lady

Just a quick lil' sci-fi themed lady I drew up :)

The Call of Cthulhu!

I love HP Lovecraft, and especially the Great Old One Cthulhu :D

Queen

Here's a Warrior Queen design I was doing, in bold outlines to show specific details, as well as the thumbnail ideas. She's not feminine enough looking here though, needs bigger hips!
.

First post! :D

Orrite!
My first post here, about time I had one of these blog things. ;)
First up are 2 '1 hour monster' exercises I've been doing - firstly create a bunch of thumbnails, then work into the chosen thumbnail, all within an hour. It's really good fun, encourages you to work fast and maybe draw how you wouldn't usually. :)




Here's my second attempt, I've included the thumbnails this time too. :)






Expect to see more of these! :D
