"Did he just watch me poop?" Photoshop CS5 & Wacom Cintiq 12WX

Whoah, can't believe it's this long since my latest post. 

Though I should say hi and welcome to all you new visitors and followers on here. 

Thank you for the support and sorry for being such a slow-poke! ;) 

There are so many things going on right now. Beside my day-job(where I work as a concept artist) I also do some freelance illustrations, personal art for myself, and at the same time trying to live a somewhat descent and social life haha! 

It's going pretty well. I'm very busy, but happy :) 

Well, gotta go sketch now. I feel the urge.. Promise to get back soon :) 



Oh, by the way, I have a question for you guys...

If you could choose, what would you like to read about on this blog?   

All feedback are welcome! 

 Cheers and see you soon!

Cover Art for HarperCollins: "Always October"

Finally, I'm allowed to share some artwork for a book cover that I made last year. It's for the novel "Always October", written by Bruce Coville and published by HarperCollins.

It's the first cover I've made for them so far, it's been a true pleasure and I had a lot of fun working on this piece.
As far as I know, the novel will be available in August, and I'm really looking forward to see it printed.
I'll definitely keep you updated about this later this summer/fall! :)

 

Here are some closeups. Hope you like it!

New fox sketch & Time Lapse Video

Hey guys!
I just uploaded a new HD video of a quick sketch that I made.

Nothing fancy, just a 12 minute time-lapse of this little fox-sketch :) Painted in Photoshop CS5 using a cintiq 12WX. Overall, this sketch took me about 20 minutes.

Feel free to check it out! :)

Time lapse of "Playful Dreaming"

Just managed to publish my first time lapse of one of my painting "Playful Dreaming".

Only the painting progress, no sound this time. I managed to save about 90% of the coloring process, my recording software crashed for some reason at the very end. It looks pretty much as the finished version though, only a bit tighter and crispier :)

Hope you like, and please feel free to leave feedback regarding this video. Or if you have other requests just let me know.

wips, wips, wips

Photoshop CS5 + cintiq 12WX

Always a bit scary to post WIPS but oh well. Here's another one again. So many ideas, so little time and skill... I'll just soldier on I guess, at least I'm having tons of fun at the moment!
I also just reminded myself of one of my weaknesses. Drawing guys and picking a suiting clothing style for them. I'm gonna start sketching more people while travelling again. Especially guys. And their styles.

Oh, and here are some lines as well!

Laters!

Speedpainting. Trying to keep things loose and subtile.
Learned a ton, got some feedback on it so I'll just move on and try to apply what I've learned on a new one :) Moving forward.
