A Dungeons & Dragons character called "Zinbradar Greymark"; a dragonborn paladin.<br />
<br />
Sketched with pencil, scan coloured with Wacom Intous 4. The original has a resolution of 3306x4676 pixels.<br />
I used the Wizards of the Coast drawings as orientation but my version deviates from them - this is how i imagine a dragonborn. Below some prior sketches of the character. All of them made spring 2012.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Symmetry of Origin - Arbeitstitel eines meiner Bilder, das wohl gesamthaft bisher die komplizierteste Genese für sich beanspruchen konnte (Muse-Fans dürften wohl ebenso etwas mit der Anspielung anfangen können, wenngleich einem aber auch davon abgesehen der (für das Sujet eigentlich wichtigere) Subtext auffallen mag). Im Arbeitsprozess entschloss ich mich dann, die Grösse der Arbeitsfläche auf die Hälfte zu reduzieren (1/2 x A0), die wilde Replikation von Mustern machte sich besser. "Half the Symmetry" wurde aus der Taufe gehoben. Es entstanden drei finale Versionen im ersten Durchlauf (drei Teile einer Symmetrie, falls sich auch jemand so über den Witz freut wie ich).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Da ein Bild natürlich nie fertig ist, nahm ich die Arbeit an der Serie wieder auf. Bis anhin habe ich dabei eine Version fertiggestellt (die "rechte Hälfte"), die Überarbeitung der "mittleren und linken Hälfte" habe ich bis auf weiteres (Muse? Pun intended) in die Zukunft verlegt.<br />
<br />
Aber auch die alten Versionen würden sich bereits gut als Druck machen. 4.2k x 11.8k sind für einen anständigen Druck auf Leinwand absolut ausreichend. Unten die drei ursprünglichen "Hälften". Natürlich sind diese längstens noch nicht so ausgefeilt wie die Details der ersten Überarbeitung.</div>

I was asked to make a set of icons for the recently developed radionics software<i> <a href="http://www.radionik.biz/radionik-geraete/" target="_blank">PC Garith</a></i> (by Munovamus*Radionik; programming by Rolf Resler). The software works currently is in German only and works with the SE-5 1000 (see PC Garith link above).<br />The user can choose between two "skins" - one in blue, the other more colourful. All icons are 24x24 pixels - a challenge to work with these tiny dimensions. But a great experience.<br /><br />Ich wurde gefragt, ob ich ein Set an Icons für die kürzlich fertiggestellte Radioniksoftware <i><a href="http://www.radionik.biz/radionik-geraete/" target="_blank">PC Garith</a> </i>entwerfen würde (von Munovamus*Radionik; programmiert von Rolf Resler). Die Software ist zur Zeit erst auf Deutsch erschienen und kann mit dem SE-5 1000 verwendet werden (siehe Link zum PC Garith oben).<br />Der Nutzer kann zwischen zwei "Skins" wählen - einem in Blau und einem in Bunt. Alle Icons sind 24x24 Pixel - eine Herausforderung, wenn man noch nicht in dieser Grösse gearbeitet hat. Aber eine tolle Erfahrung. Und das Ergebnis ist anschaulich wie auch funktional.<br />

A very recent work - it depicts the "woman in the moon", travelling with it towards the surface of earth where her feet are bound to walk her very first steps on earthly paths.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I traced a first sketch (manually) with vectors. Colourisation afterwards (pixel-based); I kept it relatively flat on purpose. There were several versions - it came down to the two below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Full wallpaper size is 2560x1600 - download - set as background - enjoy ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eine sehr aktuelle Arbeit - "Die Frau im Mond", langsam gen Erde schwebend, kurz davor ihre Füsse das erste Mal auf die irdischen Pfade zu setzen. Basierend auf einer Skizze erstellte ich eine Vektorgrafik, die dann normal (pixelbasiert) koloriert wurde. Ich habe absichtlich auf Schatten und andere Cues verzichtet, um die Tiefenwirkung zu beschränken. Am Schluss kamen zwei Versionen dabei heraus. Allerdings liessen sich wahrscheinlich noch unzählige andere Variationen erzeugen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Die volle Auflösung des Hintergrundbildes ist 2560x1600 Pixel - downloaden - als Hintergrund einstellen - mitschweben ;)</div>

In 2008 I was asked by a friend to make an avatar and to integrate certain elements (the moon, a woman, leaves, and the colour blue). Recently I stumbled over the picture and decided to give it a makeover.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think it would make a great CD cover. EDIT: In the meantime it found its purpose as cover art for a mixtape.</div>

In the beginning of 2012 I tested the new online drawing tool by Deviant Art. This was the result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It depicts an abstraction of the pulsing city life: cars, houses, movement, lights, shadows, chaos, shapes.</div>

Unfortunately there is no HiRes version of this picture.</div>

As I decided to make alternating uploads of old and new artworks here's an old one. In fact it is my second digitally coloured artwork. Nothing fancy, though.</div>

The full wallpaper included a little village in the back as well as a slogan. However, with the focus lying on her I cropped the rest.</div>

I loved <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBjtddk3guo" target="_blank"><i>Scott Pilgrim vs. the World</i></a>. Last time i watched it I decided that Ramona Flowers deserved to get her very own comic style makeover (based on the movie; I actually did not read the original comic yet). So there I went.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The version below was the first one; fully coloured. Then I looked for a way to enhance the shadows and finally got to a "sin city" styled comic look (see picture above).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I could not yet decide on a background. So for now it's just her. And her hammer. And some blood.<br /><br />Ich liebe <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBjtddk3guo" target="_blank">Scott Pilgrim gegen den Rest der Welt</a>. Der Film ist Nerdkultur (Geekkultur? Ich verwende sie synonym) in Reinform. Alle paar Minuten bemüht der Film sich selbst mit nerdig abgedrehter Unterhaltsamkeit selbst zu übertroffen. Klasse.<br />Jedenfalls kam ich zu dem Schluss, dass Ramona eine Zeichnung verdiente - basierend auf dem Film, offensichtlich (den Comic konnte ich mir bisher noch nicht zu Gemüte führen). Die farbige Version war der erste Versuch. Allerdings wollte ich die Schatten noch stärker hervorheben, und landete schliesslich bei einer Art "Sin City"-Stil.<br />Mit dem Hintergrund war ich bisher noch unschlüssig. Aber die schwarz-weisse-Version funktioniert auch ohne ganz gut. Mit dem Blut. ;)</div>

welcome to my artlog</h2>
As you may have guessed from the blog's name I dedicated it to my artworks. It is meant as a digital portfolio. To show others what I'm working on. And to show them why they'd want ME to design something for them :).<br />
<br />
Most of what I've done was in illustration and compositing. Currently I'm shifting my focus to "design work"; e.g. print (business cards, CD artworks, flyers, layout,...), digital (logos, webdesign & optimization,...).<br />
<br />
Enjoy. Comment. And learn about<br />

<h2>
willkommen auf meinem portfolio-blog</h2>
Wie man dem Blog-Titel eventuell bereits entnehmen kann, ist er meinem Kunstschaffen gewidmet und dient als digitales Portfolio. Um Interessierten zu zeigen, was ich als Künstler und Designer bereits alles fabriziert habe. Und natürlich um sie dafür zu interessieren, mich als kreativen Kopf für ihre Projekte zu engagieren :)<br />
<br />
Bisher habe ich mich vor allem mit Illustration und Compositing beschäftigt. Zur Zeit fokussiere ich mich auf "Designarbeit", natürlich auch mit kommerziellem Hintergrund, zum Beispiel auf Printerzeugnisse (Visitenkarten, komplette CD-Gestaltung, Flyer, Layout,...) und Arbeiten, die digital Verwendung finden (Logos, Webdesign und fürs Web optimierte Grafik,...).<br />
<br />
Viel Spass beim Betrachten meiner Bilder. Und natürlich freue ich mich auf Kommentare. <br />
