costume studies

These are some ink-studies I did from paintings.
Originally I just was researching clothing from the 17.-18. century and started doing some sketches from these paintings, hoping it would help me to remember it, to get a feel for it.
In the end it was mostly about trying out/practicing inking-styles. ;)

Incorruptible 12

Another Incorruptible cover:

Gear Up

Wohoo, personal work, who saw that coming!
One of the few times I had an lineart to work with, cause originally I didn't planned on coloring it. ;)

Incorruptible #11

Yep, another "Incorruptible" Cover! :)

Dr. Sketchy

Yesterday my friends Steffi, Regina and Stephan and I were at Berlin's Dr. Sketchy again.
Had an awesome time again. Good thing it wasn't so hot anymore.

Used almost only one tool this time. A thick 3B pencil or something like that. Just felt right.

Incorruptible #10 cover

Another Incorruptible cover. :)
I was lucky to have the help of the lovely MissMatzenbatzen aka Steffi who made the clockwork parts in Illustrator. Painting 'em would've been a pain in the ass and wouldn't have looked half as good.

I realized too late that I used a very similar composition on my Jazam cover a few month ago. Anway, idea and end-result looks different. ;)

Comicsalon Erlangen

Two days ago I came back from the Comicsalon Erlangen, the biggest comic-con in germany. Compared to cons in the US it's really small I guess, but it was so much fun again!

It's every two years and I was there for the fifth time and this time was one of the best. I had a blast!!
The weather was amazing and everyone seemed really relaxed.
It's a small town in Bavaria, so wherever you go you'll meet someone you know. So finding the right party in the evening is easy, you never have to walk more than ten minutes.

...ah...so great...I miss it!



Thats one of the last photos we took, right before we left. We tried to make a little band-like shot and surprisingly it kinda worked. ...? The evening sun made this look kind of retro, so I had to make this little fake "cd-cover". ;) Just beeing already a bit Erlangen nostalgic I guess.
Didn't changed the colors, just slapped half assy some fonts on it.

On the photo are from left to right Simon, Regina, myself and Yann. Steffi was there as well, but she took the photo. :)

Incorruptible 9 and Jazam

Another cover I did for Boom Studios' series Incorruptible.
I really enjoy doing these! :) Working on them gives me the opportunity to try out some stuff.

Inking a bit messy like this is still new to me but really fun - I thought it would be a nice way to show the impact. I like how it turned out and works with the painted part of the image. :)




And here a cover I did some months ago for JAZAM!'s jamcomic "Nightshift".
The print size of the jamcomic is reeally small, so I tried to make it simple.

JAZAM! is a german comic anthology and Issue 5 is coming out soon: http://www.jazam.de/ :) Go check/buy it - I'm sure it will be great again!

Moviestills

For practice I'm doing some moviestills-ref paintings lately. Here are some of them.
Maybe I'll learn something from it. fingers crossed

Were supposed to be quick one hour paintings...but I guess some of them took more around 1-2 hours. I look at you Indy!



No overpaints, 3% colorpicking for reassessing! ;)

Incorruptible covers

First 2 of 3 covers I did for Boom Studios' series Incorruptible. (#7 and #8)
Had fun with these - tried to loosen up a bit compared to my Marvel work. Still looking for my own voice.
Did also a third one(my favourite so far), I can't show yet.
