More Deadites

Here's a few more nasty undead from my Army of Darkness project. Next time I'll post some actual stills and storyboard pics...

I'm a boy, of course I like zombies!

Here is some stuff I did for a project I worked on over a long period of time, where I was trying to cook up a minute or two of animation based on Army of Darkness, one of my all time favorites. I started this maybe more then eight years ago and every now and then I tried to get it a step further, but because of the long breaks it usually meant starting everything from scratch every time I picked it up. Since it will probably never see the light of day in animated form I wanted to share some of my concept designs and stills here, mostly from my last try, the older stuff is too hideous to show. There is a lot more, so I'll put up some more soon.

Topps Star Wars Galaxy 4 base cards

These two drawings are part of the Topps Star Wars Galaxy 4 card set from Topps, that's just been released. I've always loved the creatures from the old pre CG Star Wars films, so when I was asked to work on this set I didn't have to think too long about what I wanted to base my designs around. I think the part were the bald Rancor Keeper walks in crying after Luke killed the Rancor has to be one of my favorite parts in the whole trilogy. The grey sketch with the Rancor is used on the back of the card I think.

I get all the girls

Well, not really... But here are some made up ones. The coloured one is based on a photo.

Indy Masterpieces sketchcards

Time for an update! I recently finished a batch of 50 new sketchcards for the upcoming Indiana Jones Masterpieces set for Topps. 6 Return cards are in the making...

Some Stills..

They still need some tweaking, but here goes:

Indiana Jones products

I am happy to annouce I will be selling a limited amount of my Indiana Jones prints that Acme Archives has released recently as well as 9 sketchcards that I produced for the Topps Indiana Jones Heritage series. Because something went wrong with the original return cards I have created 9 new cards that are fresh of my drawing board.


These are high quality giclee prints on heavy paper. The quality of the prints is really stunning and the photos don't do them justice unfortunately. Hopefully I'll be able later on to take some better pictures. The large prints measure 19 x 30" (45,7 x 76,2 cm) and cost 245 US dollar/ 135 euro + shipping. The small prints are 13 x 19" (33 x 48,3 cm) and go for 95 US dollar/ 66 euro + shipping. Both versions come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

And these are my new Topps sketchcards. Prices vary, if you are interested in a particular card send me and email at info{a}creamdog.net.


With every order you receive a free limited edition print of choice of either of the two following illustrations.

Some progress

Here's a few new things, I'm trying to find a consistent way of coloring and lighting my bachgrounds.

A short in progress

Time for a non-Indy post. I am currently working on my graduation film, which I hope to be finishing around January next year. I've been working on it for a few months already, so I figured it's time to start showing some pictures. To start things of, here are some concept designs for my characters etc.






And these are unfinished stills from the film, which give a pretty good idea of the final look of the film.








And finally a little test of the dog walking. This was not so much about the animation, but more a test of the line treatment, which is kind of hard to see at this resolution.

Indiana Jones print

No news on my 6 returned cards yet, but I am proud to say www.indianajonesshop.com now has one of my illustrations available for pre-order as a limited edition giclee print. Acme Archives will produce it in two sizes, 13 x 19 inch and 18 x 30 inch.

TOPPS Indiana Jones Heritage sketch cards

Since the final product is scheduled to hit the stores soon, I finally got the permission to show these sketch cards I worked on for the upcoming Indiana Jones Heritage trading card set for TOPPS. They are one of a kind original sketches that will be inserted in every box of cards (one per box), along with autographed cards by Harisson Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and others who worked on the films. Six of this cards will be returned to me later on which I am considering to put up for sale, so keep an eye on my blog if you are interested.
