Two updated pieces

I'm going over some stuff to make it more portfolio-ish.  Apparently I can only draw people being caught with their backs turned ;P

33rd Copenhagen Sketchcrawl

Sad Frankenstein

Did this as a half-day to a one day thing... It has multiple errors, but I also want to get stuff out the door,  and move on. So there :)

Team Fortress 2 in my town!!

I love Team Fortress 2. Mostly because it's the best multiplayer game, ever. But also because of it's awesome character designs, animations and set design. People who have played this game more than once will agree that the game has a very awesome signature palette and architectural style. On my way to a boardgame night in Valby, Copenhagen,  I found myself in the midst of these buildings.

RED base:

 And of course, not more than a 20 sec. run away BLU had decided to put their base.

Pretty neat. I could almost hear the heavy's mini gun Revving up around the corner.

Amazon Faeries

Last lesson at schoolism.com

The Hulk having enough...

Also done with my right/wrong hand. I guess he is angry already... But that is just waiting in line-angry.. He's about to angry it up!

Batman snacking, pondering

Done with my right(wrong) hand. I set as a rule that I couldn't use undo too much, and I did one vague sketch underneath.

-My guess is, he's eating beef jerky.

I messed up my hand!

Who says board gaming isn't a dangerous hobby? I was cutting a miniature free from it's base, when the hobby knife slipped and decided to bury itself in my left palm :( This really puts a dampener on my last photoshop course lesson, but I have an experiment for today: To do some drawings using my RIGHT hand. I'll post the monstrosities later.

Background thumbs for my Deep One and thumbs for the next assignment

Custom brush lesson.

This could have used more work before I handed it in, but I had no more time :S

Photoshop course

Various lessons in colouring, cellshading and paint blending.

Next Photoshop lesson: Colouring

Troll WIP. Adding some rimlight and proceeding to work on my zombiesketch.

The SCUMM Aquatic

The next installment in the scummification series. I think the weird dialogue and humor in this film would suit a point and click nicely. Mark Mothersbaugh's score would also be perfect, actually, and I can see numerous puzzles in Captain Zissous journey to blow up the jaguar shark.

...Oh, and by the way, virtual high five to the first person who guesses the song Pele is singing :D

Photoshop course drawings

A couple of drawings for Schoolism's Photoshop course:

Arts and Crafts

I recently bought a Colt Dragoon replica and decided that I totally needed a holster for it. I wear it around the house ALL THE TIME! ...It's just awesome is what I'm saying.

  Materials: Leather, holepoker, oiled bear thread and some embossing tools.

I cut out the leather, sewed it up, and doused in warm water. Then I shaped it around the gun, and did some embossing passes, re-wetting the leather as I went along.

When it had dried I gave it a rinse with rubbing alcohol and then I gave it a coat of leather dye. I also gave it a onceover with rubbing alcohol to give it some patina-effect. Anyhoo, it turned out a bit too patin..nized(?) and the colour was a bit too bordeaux, but other than that I'm pretty satisfied.

Sci Fi Scummin'

If I played this game back in ´91, I think my brain would literally blow up.
It just started with me wanting to do some nice SCUMM fan-art, but the further I got with this, the more I felt that the narrative of this particular flick would fit awesomely with the whole point'n'clicky thing. Except for maybe the lack of a character gallery. It was pretty tough for me completing games like Secret of Monkey Island, because as a 12 year old danish kid, I didn't really have a clue what a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle was, for example... and the artwork was also pretty tough to decrypt at times... but now I know how hard it is to do Sam Bell, when you only have about 12x12 pixels to do it on :D Anyway, hope you like this one... I might do more, Idunno yet.

Spring cleaning

When it comes to drawings I have a fairly short attention span, which in turn results in a lot of drawings not seeing the light of day. One could argue that I shouldn't post stuff that is not done, but I don't really care actually. For your viewing pleasure: all my unfinished crap! I've chosen the diving tiger for an overhaul, so that might get uploaded in a better state later on.

Oh and I also threw in a newer/vibranter version of the King in Yellow. Got some critique on conceptart.org on how to tie the colors together better.

Frankenstein's Monster bust

So, a loooong time ago I started doing a mini-bust of Frankensteins Monster  and the same thing happened with that as with all other projects I have: I got distracted/bored/busy with other stuff. Then all of a sudden I got a vicious stomach-flu, that required me to be in the general vicinity of a toilet bowl at all times :S... which then in turn resulted in me finishing this damned sculpt AND painting it even... There were pro's and cons to painting it: I got rid of the translucency Super Sculpey has, but it also highlighted some of my mistakes in the modeling (untidy smoothing, and or damages from the modeling tool), plus it got a bit too dark.. I could do an extra dry brush pass with a bit lighter color, but I don't want it to look like a warhammer miniature.  I just don't know which one to do next: Dracula, The Mummy, Creature from the black lagoon or The Wolfman?

Anyways, hope you like it. Click'em for the big'em..

Uuuhh... Dramatic Photoshopped pic.

Before baking. Sticky looking.

Hastur - The King in Yellow

This was done as a benchmark illustration for a friends' book. It was a hoot and a holler to do, and although I want to keep honing it, I better put it up as I haven't updated this blog for ages.
