Ballooned

I just stumbled upon those old files of the puffy duck from my blog's header.

Sword Girl

I indeed love drawing ducks but sometimes I escape beaks city. This here is a concept piece from last year, for a friend's (Rob Rottensteiner) strong TV show project. The title is fake, this piece here was a test to get an idea where the style is going etc.

PIXEL 8: Rough Thumbnail Blueprint

This is the very, very rough thumbnail sketch for this year's Pixel Conference. I'm quite early with that one this year due to the fact that this thingy will be the official CD of Pixel 8.

Anyways, in connection with this piece's process I would like to point out that those kind of rough thumbnail pieces just have to provide enough information to me in order to make me able to identify the shapes and volumes/forms for the process' next step. I think it's important to share how sketchy and rough things start.

Ferrari Needle: Update

The talented Malaga (Spain) based CG artist Diego Moya Parra did a lovely 3D version of my Ferrari Needle Snow-Jet Bike design.

Eagle

Old piece, re-visited. I don't draw hands that big anymore, do I?

Rough Process Insight

This piece dates from March 2009. I like the angle view on the character.

The Talented Mr. Wittig

I just learned from Martin's blog that he and his family is moving from the NYC area to LA this spring. Martin is an incredibly gifted character design artist and a super nice guy. So headhunters, get him before the others do! (Images below © Martin Wittig)
