Some girls

Pirates

I did this one for a magazine. There are some letters hidden in the drawing which, combined with some that were hidden elsewhere, can be used to create a secret word. I had a lot of fun with this one!

More whipping

These are two more designs I did based on Indy and Jones sr.

Indiana Jones stuff

About a year and a half ago, when the new design for theraider.net went online, I was asked to create one of the image headers that would show up at the top of every page. I made one, but I've always been wanting to make a second one, just because the first one was so much fun! Finally, I found time to make a second contribution.

And to give you a little look behind the scenes, this is what the layout sketch looked like, made on a regular A4 sized paper. You can see how some elements look quite different from the final version, while others remain almost unchanged. I always like to draw images like this fairly small, because you get a certain spontaneity in your work which is hard to capture in a larger drawing. Once I am satisfied with the overall layout I scan the drawing, enlarge all the elements and print them on separate sheets of paper. I refine all these elements separately on my light table and put them back together again on the computer.

This is the first header by the way.

August Jam Girl

Here is a girl I drew for the monthly drawingjam at the drawingboard.

Brush Fish

I made up these little fish while trying to get a grip on one of those brushpens. Fish are the bombdiggity! You can just design your own fish based on the weirdest shape you can come up with, and there probably is a real fish out there looking exactly like that. The supreme being really outdid himself while creating these cool creatures.

Just a lil' sumthin' sumthin'

I bought a new widescreen monitor and decided to finish of a sketch I had lying around as my new desktop. Click HERE to get a 1680x1050 version. And yes, I love Gremlins.

A girl I saw on the bus

Here is a girl I saw on the bus. Huh, what's that, you don't believe me? Ok, I lied.

Han ma bookie...

Remember that clunky Jabba toy from way back in the day? As a kid I thought it was the coolest, most realistic piece of playware one could get it's hands one. Unfortunately, when Star Wars VI was released I was still in my Fisher Price phase and by the time I was 6 or 7, the only way to find out about these figures was from ads in old magazines. I have always wanted to have one of those Jabba's, but it just never happened. Until I discovered Super Sculpey that is. I love that stuff...

More Granny

Here is another one from my little Granny film. I actually made half of this film a long time ago, but I never got around to finish it properly. Now that I've picked it up again I had to incorporate some new techniques and redesign some stuff and I am ready to give it a second try. Hopefully somewhere this summer.

Some male nurses

These two handsome guys also appear in that same short film. It's still a concept sketch, but I just might keep them this way.

Poor Granny

Here are some characters for a short I'll start working on later this summer. I'll post some concept sketches for this later on, they went missing in the pile under my desk.

First!

Hi and thanks for visiting. It took me ages to take the big leap, but as of today I will be posting some of my stuff here. Writing is not my USP, so I will probably stick to posting mostly drawings, sketches and photos of my work. I am currently studying animation and I try to draw as much as I can. Because that's all I like to do! Well... I also like to sculpt, watch movies and have the occasional drink with my friends or spend some time with my girlfriend. But I'll leave it to this for now before we get too close, I never kiss on a first date.
