Working

Before I got caught up in the maelstrom of working life I loved looking at my drawings and simply taking in everything I had created. I could spend quite sometime doing that and it made me happy. Sadly, I hadn't had that for a long time. But last week, while the sun was shining into my room I had my work on the carpet and again had that feelig that I am really happy about what I'm doing. So I took a picture. The Lockon fanart wasn't finished yet, but I loved it anyway.

I am also working on a commission for somebody from deviantart. The picture shows two of her characters and I hope she will like it. I love shading the skin parts before everything else. Sometimes I think the picture looks nicer with only the skin coloured than when it is completely finished. oO *weird*

Oh, have you fed my fishes today? Try it, they love a bit of attention!

New design and header

Hey guys,

how do you like my new design and header? I felt like giving my blog a new face so I played around with some of the gadgets. The header shows a detail from one of my older paintings which I really love. It was a birthday present for my father last year.

Oh, and you have to try playing with the little fishes to the right. They will follow your cursor and you can even feed them X_X *love it*

New drawings

As I'm still taking some time off from my job I can finally be more creative, which feels really good. It's almost like a therapy. Here are two paintings I just finished.

 

I had the idea for this one right after the Leipzig Book Fair. I love the hat and I wanted to do something really lovely and shoujo. I want to do more of these in fruity costumes.

This is a fanart of one of my favourite characters: Lockon Stratos from Gundam 00. I love the series and Lockon is just great! I love his charadesign. Unfortunately, like most characters I love, he - careful spoiler- dies oO. The scene is so extremely sad and probably inspired this drawing. The posture of the falling Lockon took me forever and was a complete failure in the beginning. But now I'm really satiesfied with it. I used crayons, copics, pencil and white ink for this one and the same media plus pastel chalk for the one above.

Kakao Karten

Im Moment stehen außerdem ein paar Kakao Karten (Originale und Auflagen), die noch von der LBM übrig geblieben sind, bei mir zum Verkauf. Einige sind schon weg, aber ein paar sind noch da. Falls jemand Interesse hat, hier sind alle wichtigen Details.

Versteigerung - Auction

For all English people: This is an auction for an original I did for the Leipzig Book Fair. It wasn't won by anybody so you can bid for it now. Simply write me a comment here. The bidding should proceed in 1 Euro steps. At the moment the highest bid is 25 Euros.

Für alle Deutschen: Ihr könnt auch gerne über Kommentare hier in meinem Blog mitsteigern. Alle Angaben findet ihr neben dem Bild.

Commission

Another sign of life XD
This is a commission I did for somebody on deviantart. It's her character and I love the steampunk outfit. I did the background with pastel chalks and the character with crayons, copics and pencils.

Back from the deep

Yes, it's been a awefully long time ... again, but sometimes work is killing me and I almost have no time finishing the things I want to finish. Right now, however, I've got enough of work. I want to do soemthing else than just work. Do you understand what I mean? You work and work and work and what do you get? Nothing. So now, it's enough. I want my f***ing life back and a big part of that is drawing and being creative, so that's what I'll do in my freetime which I claim again.
To really get that going I've got a new sketchbook and I'll let you see some of the stuff I've been doing lately. To the left you can see a drawing I did for my dear friend Kai who is a big Fujimoto fan and also has a great costume which he's sometimes wearing to conventions (I love that pink wig!).
Besides, for the German people here: Ich versteigere in meinem Weblog auf mexx gerade das Original, dass ich für die LBM gezeichnet hatte (siehe unten). Vielleicht möchte ja jemand mitbieten! Es würde mich sehr freuen, wenn es einen neuen Besitzer findet, denn ich hatte mich vor der LBM innerlich schon so davon verabschiedet.
In other respects, enjoy this International Day of the Book. I've just finished the second part of the Hunger Games-trilogy and I really liked it. I've also seen the movie. I didn't expect too much, but the very good cast, especially Jennifer Laurence, really made it an awesome movie!
See you soon!
