It's been a very long time since my last post, but the last year has been quite intense (in a positive way) on a professional as well as on a personal level. However, I finally found some time to work on personal projects again and I'm happy to post the first result.
I'll also post some drawings soon that I did in the last couple of months but never got round to posting here.

All that being said, I hope you like the painting and feel free to look at the high-res version by clicking on it.

Here's to new challenges and many more paintings in 2017!

Here are a couple of sketches I did at the drink&draw/ dr. skyetchy's Moulin Rouge Party. It was a really great experience, awesome music, great models and I had a perfect time sketching with friends. For any proportions that are off I blame the very cheap and delicious drinks they offered :D

Also, for those who haven't seen them yet, I updated my showreel and added a vfx showreel, that features some more of my vfx stuff. Feel free to follow the links and check them out.

I finally took up life drawing again and found a really great place here in Berlin.
It's called drink&draw and they offer weekly portrait and life drawing sessions, great models, fun people (and pretty cheap booze :D ).

Here are some of the drawings I did during the last couple of weeks.
More to come after the Christmas break.

I finally found some time again to paint and I would like to share some of the results.
One is a little steampunk/ art-deco inspired character based on the sketch I posted a little while ago.

The other one is loosly inspired by a little scene I witnessed on a street that while driving by on a bike.

On ordinary dad in the middle of a group of bikers and tough guys, who is clearly the coolest guy around, even though - or maybe because- he wasn’t trying to be cool at all.

My goal there was to create a painterly and loose piece that tells a cute, littey story.
The challange was to capture the light mood that I had in mind and also finding a composition and color/ light scheme that would tie the composition together and make it read well despite the busy background and number of characters.

I wanted to try out some different techniques and light settings and so I decided to use one of my sketches and do a couple of quick paints with it. Some are very rough, some a bit more polished. I played around with compositions and light direction as well as colors- still lots to learn, but this was a very fun exercise.
