Did some tests with Painter9 and am mildly pleased with the results.
By the way, isn´t it kind of scary how fast the time flies ? I can´t believe that the year is almost at its end already ... I still got some things to do though !

I´m sorry for beeing so absent recently :(

This post is mostly for a topic that I get a lot of questions about.
Making studys with references is something I usually combine with my warm-ups.
I always have a big pile of photos/magazines and randomly choose some to work with ( or specificly for work related themes ). Time spent is around 20-30 min.
I admit though that I´m not doing that every day, there are sometimes weeks where I just paint some abstract nothings. I also can´t say if this is the right way to go, but it definatly works for me to understand the things I want to learn :)

So here is a small selection from the last months.




edit: sargent study, also around 15min. :|



and some classics

Just posting to ask if someone is interested in a retrospective, from 2000 to 2010 ... The wonderful Katie Rice did a nice one and I thought it was really interesting :) It would still take a while as it is a lot of work to scann everything and collect the old works...

Old work





a fun commission :)





These were old testpages for a project that I cannot tell you about yet :) But Oh gee, I´m so glad that they are not going to be used haha






EDIT:

Influence Map

It was fun !! The template can be found here



There way to many things and people that influence me ( especially with all the variety of artists on then net ) so I left out the most obvious Inspirations like Family, Friends ( feel free to check the linklist ) , certain parts of the world, Animals , Animations... The map is pretty much limited to specific Artists ( or other Things ) that inspired me constantly for more than 4 years, continiue to inspire and left an visible impact on my work...at least I think they did. Actually the majority on the map is from my pre-internet times haha...

So yeah, I think my biggest influences are Wendling and Inoue :)

!!

wip, junk, unfinished, tests all mixed ! :)



This is something I could work on every once, I try to find something that could make htis picture more interesting. It not so much about originality ( if that really exists within something mundane like heroic fantasy ;) ) but visual appeal...
