Red Fingers

He's painting almost literally with his heart's blood. I hope you can handle a bit gore ;)




"Is it sore?"

This is not intended as a children's book illustration. I was playing with extremes here both shapes and content. (BTW: This is a cleaned-up piece from a sketch I did at the last Royal Styrian Drawing Jam. Aim of my exercise: "superhero(s)")

  1. Great stuff.

    I love your superheros. They were always some of my favorite characters on the website before you were blogging. Like Captain Christmas.

  2. Your silhouettes are usually so great, I just think this could be pushed more so that the hands are so symmetrical. I really did this pose though, and the weight is really grounded well too. Good stuff sir.

  7. Big thanks to you all!

    And Brian, I'm really glad that you remember Captain Christmas. And - cross fingers - there is a chance for a (toys-)comeback of this very hero... I'll keep you updated.

    Philipp, many thanks for your sharp eye, again. I really appreciate your thoughts! Thanks my friend.

  8. Florian, I have been following your work on the website for the last 4 years or so. I am glad you have the blog, since it was hard to tell what was new in the samples page.

    Do you ever plan to sell a sketchbook that collects your work? You could easily do a book of just Superheroes or Creatures and Monsters.

    Maybe sometime you can make it out for the San Diego Comic-Con, that would be cool.
