Portrait Month – Norma

April 24, 2010

Painting a good friend is really a challenge. I think it is the pressure to get really the person one knows – but damn, its fun to try :) So thanks a lot to Norma for posing last week in the ongoing Portrait Month in the Gallery de Stoker. And the good news: more friend-portraits … Continue reading Portrait Month – Norma →

Final painting: Lake 2

April 19, 2010

I’ve posted a wip earlier. Here is the final one of Lake. The foreground works better now with the extended sheet. I also had a more detailed face at some point – but overpainted it to a simpler version.

Yola, final version

April 13, 2010

This is the final version of a work in progress I posted before. Visitors of the exhibition have seen the image already. Although I must admit, since I was in a hurry I accidentally hung it up the wrong way :D Both versions work – but I do like this angle the most.

Digital spicing

March 27, 2010

Has been a while that I posted a digital artwork. This one I tweaked recently – it was originally thought for a poster of a game where you can control water. The character design is by Ramon Contini, which you can find (along other cool stuff) on his website.

Work in Progress Lake2

For this one I have one more session. That will be a lot of work to tackle still – I only consider the central body part to be final. I painted the model in a very different position than she is actually sitting, mixing several perspectives into one – which has me moving around with … Continue reading Work in Progress Lake2 →

Anna 2 – finished

March 2, 2010

I showed the WIP earlier – here is the finished version. The digital version doesn’t really show that I used gold paint in some patterns, was a lot of fun.

Work in Progress Anna2

February 16, 2010

Here is another work in progress picture. It shows my progress a little bit. I work quite different than other people in the studio I paint at: I usually do the background first. It allows me to see a preview early about how the art will turn out. Details are easy to change – but … Continue reading Work in Progress Anna2 →

New Portrait: Lake

January 27, 2010

A new portrait from last week; her name is Lake Montgomery, she is a singer living in Amsterdam (I like her music btw). Did it two and a half hours; it worked – new record ;) Also I’m off tomorrow to the Global Game Jam, where you make a game in 48 hours. I’m really … Continue reading New Portrait: Lake →
