Just 3 more days left for the final move.. Time is running fast and days becoming busier towards the end of this week. LOADS of paperwork, you know, usual german thing... Meh.
Anyways, I found this piece in workfiles folder few days ago dated as WIP file from 2005. I want to finish this concept at some point once in US, however, figured out its a good oportunity to post it along with this message - makes text reading less boring ;)

Landscapes

Couple of landscape sketches in little different, cleaner style. I tried to keep them under 1,5 hrs mark.

spaghetti...

.. she will make one for him fo sure.

lunchbreaks (+ a little) are good!

20 days left...

.. for a big move! After almost 5 years of living in Germany, Frankfurt, its time to move on. Over last couple of months alot of things happened where most of them where leaning towards a big step that is just 20 days ahead. In May 1st, me, my lovely wife and my little dog are moving to Santa Monica, CA!

It's only this month left for me at Crytek, a company that let me grow in productive and very creative environment. Good things thou never last forever, especially when greater things are awaiting.

Alot of packing and things to be done before final big move and I just can't wait to get a taste of Southern California weather! :)

PS: A little traveler's concept drop for Sunday's evening.

Serengeti + biohazard

Quick sketch of monsterous bull, to brighten up not-so-cool weekend.

Little more Mullins sketches study...

huntress

Little savannah sketch. I tried to mix custom brush work with different magnitudes of smudge tool in order to get a little more wet-paint look.

trooper

I've snatched little speed whitebox model that Hanno Hagedorn was working on while ago and did little overpaint. This took me roughly 1,5hrs with getting moon-alike environment I thought this model would fit into.

c.mullins awesomness copycat

Little sketches study of one of best artists of modern time - C.Mullins

Little mullins study and last mech piece for this weekend

more mech stuff

1,5hrs speed

Even more rusted metal

So this struck me when I was browsing thru blogs of my favourite artists. I stumbled upon newst piece from Robh Ruppel and yea, Robh, fuckin awesome stuff! Here's little tribute to the mech sketch, just different mech and different environment.

Friday's sketch.

I digged out one anatomy drawing books (struttura uomo) and decided sketch something without looking at any references. I did overnight recycling of older sketches (mainly for background). Getting the character shapes right was quite challenging but worth a try. I have to try more of that in the future, with little more dynamic poses/cam angles...

First take on interiors since quite few months..
