Planet CTN eXpo

This is a super-super-super-rough preview. Once more, very much Eustace Tilley influenced, like my blog's title piece. I'll try to finish this later on, maybe end of May or so.

Yellow Submarine, StarWars IV And My Blue Ball Pen

I just came back from a fun judging weekend at the Sehsuechte Festival in Babelsberg, Europe's largest international student film festival. I was part of a four-headed animated film jury. The four of us were legendary special effects supervisor, Oscar winner and Praxis Films Works president Robert Blalack ("Star Wars IV", "Robo Cop", "Wolfen", "Cat People", "The Blues Brothers" etc), animation director and animator Paul Driessen ("Yellow Submarine", "Three Misses"), Berlin based animator/character designer Karen Strempel and me. This here below is one of the judging forms we had to fill out for each film. My forms always look like this, drawing characters on them while - in this instance - discussing films. I blurred the notes and memos on it here because of a standstill agreement, the festival's winners will be announced later next week. By the by, I copied Harald Siepermann's technique, ball pen and coffee for the shading (by dipping my finger in cold black coffee, no sugar)...

And here are some ball pen sketches from the back of the sheet:

Quite inspirational, love that "character". BTW, Jake has a pretty stunning book project on Kickstarter!

Paperwalker TV: Motorbird Controlled Painting Machine

I wasn't recording any sketch process for a while, was I? Anyways, here's a new clip now, 'hope you like it. Well, it's a little short but I was quite fast with it, I kept everything as rough as possible.
