Jacob Henricus Maris (1837 – 1899) is a Dutch artist I found in a gallery in Assen (little town in Holland). This particular image I find amazing. The day I discovered it, I’ve put it on my desktop. After that I went to sleep – and I dreamed I am there. I was in a … Continue reading The Values of Jacob Maris
Mezzo Concept Sketchgroup Drawing
Digging out a scan of a drawing from a sketchgroup we had in Utrecht some months, since Nadia posted a painting on her blog. This is a collab of Nadia, Wanja and if I remember correctly also Stephan aka Duq. We certainly wanna do more meetings – if you’re around the area here, and are … Continue reading Mezzo Concept Sketchgroup Drawing
Portraits of Inez and Anna
Finished them both today, with little fixes. Maybe I make better pictures whenever the sun shows up in this country … which might take several months :/ Anyways, playing around with new things in the paintings. Especially limiting the colors and values I use. The Inez painting got kind of a medieval style in some … Continue reading Portraits of Inez and Anna
A sketchbook is complete
Roughly 15 more pages of my sketchbook from 2008. Funny thing: I always thought its the one before my current one. But just when writing this – I noticed it can’t be. I fill at least 2 per year. Well, turns out I have another full sketchbook lying around. Scanning all this will take me … Continue reading A sketchbook is complete

Interesting experience in a way. It has the disadvantage that we really started with 3D in mind. So we were … Continue reading Unearthly Challenge – Final Artwork
Sketchbook pages from Japan
This is the next batch of pictures from last years sketchbook. I posted these before on conceptart.org and in the gallery – but I’ll show them here to keep things in the same sequence as in the book. I went to Tokyo, Takayama (in the Mountain area), Toyota City (yep, the town were the cars … Continue reading Sketchbook pages from Japan
Unearthly Challenge – Colored Concept
An update on the Unearthly Challenge. Maybe I should have explained a bit: It’s a contest where one has to do a 3D image of an environment. There is only a rough topic (End-Game). And one has to post updates, so that people can follow your workflow. It’s great for learning. Now I’ve done a … Continue reading Unearthly Challenge – Colored Concept
