OBEY AND CONFORM.

i recently watched one of my all time favorites, carpenter's old classic "they live" from 88. the second half of the movie is pure hollywood nonsense but the whole subject which is based on the shortstory "eight o'clock in the morning" by ray nelson is really timeless and outstanding in my eyes. was fun to do this fanart, hope you like it.

submit. doubt humanity. marry and reproduce. buy. do not question authority. no independent thought. no ideas. no imagination. sleep. stay asleep. consume. work 8 hours. play 8 hours. sleep 8 hours. watch t.v. ...

"galactopticon" fanart

did this piece of fanart the other night. was fun to do - the whole concept, ideas and already existing media from "Galactopticon" is really inspiring, and in my eyes this blue guy is already a legend.

till next time i hope this mod will become successful and famous!

new concepts

some new character designs for "Visage". i don't wanna say anything about names, destiny or positions, maybe they won't even make it in-game at the end. i'll add some information to this posting when the time is right. hope you likem anyway.

?!

rough freestyle speedpainting drill from last night while listening to proem.
is it better to ask questions or to give answers? blind or awake? red. good or bad?

some concepts for...

... another great project, thanks to the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) i am not allowed to give any informations like a name or more details about these gentlemen. i only can tell you that if you want to know more, be sure to check back often. last but not least...







... visage. a new character design or rather a new head design for one of the most important characters in "Visage".

"Visage" oil and coffee

back with a little gas-station concept and a nice wooden coffee house sign for hovgård.

"Visage" call the cops! i need brands ...

overworked the old orphanage concept for "Visage". the original piece was posted around a month ago. heavy rain folks, heavy rain.



















i also finished some 50's related advertising mainly for "Visage", but also as an additional lesson. it is a great experience to draw these happy people like the old masters did back in the days - smile. these are all posters and billboards that will appear in hovgård later presenting fictional brands and as you can see and read: they are not that bloody serious - (other things will be. for sure) but they are based on real "old ads crimes". most likely they are going to be in swedish language in-game (you will get the message anyway)...
more to come i think.

"diane..."

i am back with one of the greatest characters ever created... say hello to special agent dale cooper from "twin peaks". i just found out about this timeless tv-show by a fluke. the developers of the game "alan wake" (i posted wake related fan-art before) pointed out, that the main influence was that classic by david lynch and mark frost from the early 90's. thanks for that advice, remedy! hope you like.

new design...

yeah, kopfstoff.blogspot.com evolved - the old one? dead. maybe i am going to edit some stuff, but for now i am so happy to be done. there are also some other changes going on: from now on anyone can comment my postings, not just blogger or google members. you also can easily follow kopfstoff now by clicking on "PULL" and then on the link on the left called "follow me". i also added a page searchbar (dunno if it's really working - sorry if not, will try to fix it then), and some other small things. hope you like it, i love it. enjoy :)

mixed stuff...

just wanted to add some new pics: first we got a new concept art for "visage", some various sketches, "dub fx" mini-me's and finally two new pigs for the energy saving campaign called "unser ener". enjoy the summer...

wake up...

if you own a 360 and like playing games, know lovecraft, king, kubrik and scorsese and love their works, "alan wake" (from "remedy") could be something for you... i guess. here are two new fan-arts from me: the first one is called "alan wake made me do it!" and the second one is called "a moment's silence". really enjoyed that game. hope you like it, too. :)

"Visage" emil...

may i introduce the "new roy"... emil. still the same charactaristics but new pants, age and face (based on team leader "milo" :P )

bittersweet stuff...

back with some new "creepy" concepts and...






some new mascot-pigs i did for the "unser ener"-campaign plus a politician caricature for the "aktionsbündnis saarländische kneipenkultur" website.

"Visage" adam and roy...

new concept art for "Visage": adam and roy in america, before going to sweden.

"Visage" header...

right now i am working as an concept artist for a half-life 2 total conversion called "Visage". yesterday i did this header image for the moddb-page. you can admire the applied picture and follow the progress of that pure horror festival over here.

behave like a little girl...

the pencil sketch was already done before christmas, but i finished her only recently. i had far too much other stuff to do (such as.. 3D stuff?! -.-). she will be part of something big... i am not allowed to give any specific details at the moment. more to come, for sure - hope you love her like i do ;)
