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 ;)

"flatlanders" finished...





after a long time of many sleepless nights, shifting and retouching fucking "ghosts" i finally finished the pages i wanted to showcase in berlin just in time... ladys and gentlemen, i proudly present the cover, the first 7 pages and the back of my 2D-3D project "flatlanders". i just returned from berlin yesterday, where our class showed their bookdummies to "25books", to make a long story short: awesome trip! met some great people with good suggestions and ideas for "flatlanders". now i have to finish some other projects for university and some jobs. maybe after that i'll go on with "flatlanders".
so, put on those red-cyan glasses again! hope you like :)























to wrap it up: first sketches i did. as you can see, stuff changed until it finally looked like in the above posted finished pages for the dummy...

"flatlanders" again and a little christmas-job...







finished two new pages for "flatlanders"... hopefully i can post more tomorrow. if not, after holidays - for sure! one more page in pure greyscale, then another for the final "crossover"...









a christmas-job i finished yesterday for a mate of mine, pencil on DIN A3 sketch paper (that's the reason for photo - no scan...). stars and theme as desired :) btw, take a closer look at the mirror: both are holding the same picture up, see the stars? omg, awesome! hope you like ;)

"flatlanders", "terrible yellow things" and some sketches





don't panic! big update. after a long run of leaving "kopfstoff" uncared in the corner, i am finally back with some stuff to show. first of all i want to show you a newer version of my first mood sketch for "flatlanders", edited by the real king of 3-D art himself, ray zone (thanks a million for all your support!).







and it's time for another big "thank you". this time for you, cory godbey (creater and owner of an amazing page called "terrible yellow eyes"). on this page you can enjoy hours of watching collected art about my beloved max and the book "where the wild things are" from all over the world. finally i found my "i'll eat you up!" piece in the place to be ;). thank you, that's a major honour for me! i love your idea behind that project and it's really jaw dropping what it has truly become, respect!









i finished the first two pages of "flatlanders", my 3-D project for university. goal was to reduce the look of the first pages to a black and white, cartoonish looking, grey, cheerless, "dead" style to have a big break when the 3-D part finally kicks in. (this look will be totally different: colourful, wilder, more "three-dimensional" looking and at least in real 3-D ;))







and in the end, some sketches i did while sitting in a lecture at university, hope you like... :)

"flatlanders" mood sketch for my first 3D comic project...






right now, i am in a class called "book design", and we where free to choose a subject. i picked "3-D comic" and want to create a 4 or 5 pages dummy for the final presentation (4 pages and 1 cover maybe, depending on how "far" i can get). i am a big comic fan, bet you knew that - and i love the 3-D ones even more! but i had no idea how to start. so, i had to read up on that subject first...
i searched for some tutorials, to learn how i can put my paintings/ panels into 3-D. thereby i have had contact to great people and now i know the basic techniques (BIG THANKS goes out to BEETLEBUM and the real king of 3-D Comics RAY ZONE. they erased a lot of the question marks - thanks a million guys!)

this is just a little "mood"-sketch, to show you the "hero" and the idea behind it. sorry for the "raster", hope you've got red-cyan glasses ;)

agency stuff: "paul", "unser ener" and "spd"







this one is a sticker for children, let me introduce: "paul blink"... was a job for an optician. strange that i never showed agency jobs before... dunno why, maybe i'll catch up on some "older" stuff soon, or i'll just show some favs (otherwise it'll probably brake the mould ;)).







some postcards i did, for an energy saving campaign of the "department of environment". the red pig showing how to reduce waste of energy is the mascot of the "unser ener"-campaign...







and last but not least, some cuttings from storyboards i did with the corresponding pictures from the final advertising films of the "spd saarland". you can see the 2 clips on youtube, first one is called "heiko maas stoppt die raserei" and the second one is called "future 2009 - saarland nimmt maas" . hope you like :)
