From Chaos To Order

Gate of Aidobmac

Just tested some of the temple textures of cgtextures.com on a simple mattepainting:

Lightning Witch

hey there, as you can see my piece from today is different than usual. I first used corel painter and then switched to photoshop. If you enlarge it you can see all the paintsy texture (I love).

But that's not the only difference, I also tried to stay soft with my normal photoshop brushstrokes. I kept the hair flat dark because I love simple graphic elements in illustrations..

I changed the colors and put it as a MTG Card for fun:
[original card belongs to wizards of the coast]

PS: One inspirational card/illustration I want to show you guys is the Spidersilk Armor:

Bone Angel and Wolfsbaum

A sketch for a character I am working on.. I will paint an illustration with the Bone Angel asap

And I did a preview picture for the german poetry-blog "Wolfsbaum". Click on the picture to get to the blog.

International Comic Salon 2012

Hey, yes I went there this year and it was awesome. I've seen the 50 Years Spider Man Special with all Issues and Spider Man originals. Many of the old ones are funny and ridiculous.
There was a comic mag contest called "Comic Clash" too, where the mag Oh Magazin of my mate Lew won the 1. place, yeeh!

And of course I bought some great stuff: The District 9 Art/Conceptbook, the limited movie 'Brain Work Melt' with small artbook, great postcards and Moebius' ARZACH (hell yes!).
I also got a bunch of reading samples, smaller comics and comic compilations.

While I've seen a hell load of comics I additionally met new cool people and I think, if you are a comic artist this event is a must to get rid of your copies, earn some money and tie new contacts.
I really recommend this to everyone who is able to get there.
