Digital stuff

Here we go, painting in Photoshop I think I got a better feeling for painting digital after all. I love to paint with oils and as our teachers always say: "If you draw traditionally it will help you to draw digitally and the other way around." 

 

 I found my love for designing Robots I think, still I have to work on my texture skills and the way how Robots actually move and feel, but the first steps where good. So I will go on and work on it, what else can I do ^^

Jeremy Lipking master copy

Here is my approache on an Jeremy Lipking master copy, I put up the comparison and the final painting. I am kind of happy with it after all, there are still some problems with my color and the technic. In this painting it was important for me, to match the colors and the feeling of the painting and I think I succeeded better than before in my oil painting skills. Still a lot of work to do, but I finaly got better in mixing the colors I want instead of experementing all the time on the canvas ^^. 

Painting

New oil painting I made, very happy with it after all 

Work I had no time to submit yet ^^

So here is a picture in acryl I made for Jon Fosters class figure painting III, I am very happy with it and right now add to the love for oils also acryl :D

Here are some weapon ruffs for Industrial Design with Josh Nizzi. These weapons are in the Design of Ghost in the Shell and I hope I made my point ^^.

Here is an ortho view of the Dead Space character Isaac, it is not finished yet, I still have to get over it again and solve some problems but right now I am pretty fine with it. The upcoming weekend will give me the chance to finish it.

Knight-Festival

I was at a knight festival, almost near to my hometown Graz. At the beautiful castle of Oberkapfenberg. Here are some Images I made, not all of them because that would be too much. Here they are

Nemo Comic

Here is my "Little Nemo in Spaceland" Comic I did for the visual narrative class at TAD. Took me a while to ink everything out, especially the dark areas, but after all it was worth it, I am very happy with it. 

pen and ink

pen and ink work for my final reviews, a lot of fun got inspired by moebius. I love to work in pen and ink but the next challenge will be to add a little bit more color to my work ^^

watercolor

Tried to use watercolor properly, I think it is a good start but I am not completely satisfied with it. Some colors are missing and next time I will handle the medium more fluid I think, but after all i am happy with the outcome.

Self portrait, finally solved some color problems I had in the past. I am excited to go on and try new stuff

Here are some new oil paintings I did for ron lemens class at TAD 

 Here is a Norman Rockwell copy

Go forward in oil

Here we have a fechin copy done in oil. It was more fun than challenging but the learning process is always interesting, TAD forces you to keep up and take new goals and thats amazing .

The earlier head study now in color, done with the Zorn palette ( vermillion red, yellow ochre, titanium white and ivory black).

Head studies

New head studies to get a little bit more used to oils, I am happy with them, enjoy. 

Figure Construct

Kind of fun stuff do this figure studies in a kind of construct stage here are my attempt on it. The first is from imagination and the other three from photos. Start simple and than go to specific mode that helped me a lot to figure out what I should do ^^.
