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.

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.

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.
