Sauron from Lord of the Rings...

It is not really Sauron, just inspired from him... Dunno why, but the greek-helmet-like mask thingy really got me... Done only to get it out of my mind...

A handful of ballpen-sketches and two speedy speedpaints... About 2 hours all together I guess...

The x-mechs...

You've better been good... or else! :-D

I wish you all a merry christmas!!!

What can I say... It's a wonderful world... :-)

Todays speedy... Really had fun with this one! ^^

But next time it will be cold dark sinister apocalypse again, so no worries!

About 45 min maybe...

So here the final pic... I posted the exploration sketches on Saturday, November 28, 2009

It is the most detailed mech I ever made so far, used and altered a few photos, the mech is full brush...
Took a lot of time...

Hope you like it!

Small tiny little sketch I made for a friend on deviantart and skipmasta...

Some kind of big alien robot in the mountains... Still no idea why he wanted it... Can't wait to find out! :-)

About 20 min...

Some ballpoint pen and some digital sketches I made tonight to get ideas for my next bigger painting... Just to make up my mind before I will spend about a week or so on the final pic...

This time from the other side... Once again mech braking through a street-barricade...

About 1 hour...

Mech braking a street-barricade...

About 45 min I guess...

Mech underwater... I never tried an underwater-scene... Was interesting...

About 1 hour and a half...

Once again a small painting in the evening while watching Terminator II... I had no idea what to do, just turned out this way... ;-)

Took a while because I kept changing the whole thing all over the place! A bit over an hour maybe...

Quick sketch for tonight, just to relax before bed :-)... I tried to make the mech look more threatenig by changing the perspective...

About the usual 30 min...

Just watched "Transformers" yesterday... What can I say... Here a mech in a research facility... :-)

Nothing big, just for fun... About 50 min maybe?

Once again guy looking at a flying dragon... Tried to make the scene a bit less static...

Again 20-30 min...

Small little pic of a guy looking at a flying dragon, made for a friend on deviantart... Just a small teaser... ;-)

Maybe 20 min...

Ok, here a mech catching an escaping soldier... Way more details than usual... Still not perfect, but getting there... :-)

Full brush... Dunno, but way longer then usual... ;-)

Small sketch i made tonight... Actually i want to use the scene for a more detailed painting soon, but just had fun making it a small mood-sketch... :-)

Dunno... maybe 30 min?

Fake-pic I made for an add for a tanning salon here... They wanted a pic with the girl and the guy together, covered by white fur... Had to brush the guys whole shoulder...

Mech fighting fireflies... Small little joke for a friend on deviantart... Still, was fun!

About 1 hour and a bit I guess...

Well... Once again a mech...

I will start to do them more detailed soon I think, but this time just a small speedy for fun... Didn't really put much effort in this..

About 1 hour I guess...

Once again two mechs in combat... Had fun with this one... :-)

Maybe 1 hour... Not quite sure...

This time some mechs in combat... Just for fun tonight! :-)

... Maybe 1 hour, but not quite sure... I spend half of the time on the gunfire anyway ;-)

Just watched "Barbie and the three Musketeers"!

Well... I guess you will see the connection...

Enjoy the "Barbienator"!!!

Same perspective and scene as the last mech... Was easier that way! ^^

About 1 hour...

Mech leaving a burning... whatever! :-P

I'm trying to work more with contrast and light...

About 1-2 hours I guess...

Once again an easy sketch I just did for fun... Firing mech in the setting sun...

I just saw Star Wars the clone wars... bad movie, but the style is simply awesome! Like an 2 hour speed-painting in motion! Love it! :-P

I just had to do something afterwards, no matter what!

Took around 20 min I guess...

Small easy pic I made tonight, just to relax... Once more mech downtown. I really love the theme! :-)

It's quite soft, but I just wanted to catch the atmosphere...

About 20-30 min...

Once again, mech downtown... Second small sketch, this time with soldiers on the street and mech rounding the corner... Still don't know what it will look like... But getting closer... :-)

Again 10-20 min...

My mind is still working on this mech-downtown-trapping-soldiers-scene... I figured it would be more threatening if the mech would look down on the soldiers, so I made this fast easy sketch to see how it works...

I think it is better like this...?

Took 10-15 min...

Small little mood-sketch.. I want to make a mech downtown trapping some soldiers in a building soon, I already made some sketches, and this is just to get a feeling for the scenery..

Maybe 50 min, anyway less then one hour...

And the work from yesterday evening and tonight... Two fifties-style mechs patrolling a river...

Took so long because I changed the background a few times... ;-)

And the second...

Mech hit by two missiles in the desert... It turned out to be more watercolor-like..

It's interesting, but I think I like it better when it's a bit harder... :-)

Just noticed I still have two speed-paintings here I didn't post yet...

Here comes the first, a mech coming out of the sea. It's the first one I made just drawing, not using photos... Only a small mood-sketch for me. I still want to make a real rendering of this scene, but not quite sure yet how I want it to look...

Took around 30 min...

And here my entry for a state-carriage drawing contest... I put it in a background this time, with body-guard an parliament-building. On top some exploration-sketches....

By the way... the figurehead is a tiny battlemech! ;-)

Here my entry for a Hotrod drawing contest... The first two Hotrods I ever made... Once again done only with ballpoint pen..

Tonights work... A mech in the desert coming out of his hiding-place, ambushing I don't know who...

Spend about one and a half hour on it...

Spend about 50-60 min tonight on a mech in town... Again only brush..

Just spend three or four hours with painting again... It's once more inspired by (you might have guessed) Andrée Wallin!

...but I'm rather pleased with the result!

Third try in speed-painting... again thanks to Andrée Wallin for inspiration!

http://AndreeWallin.deviantart.com/art/I-just-wanna-talk-89741605

Really, it's time I do something by myself! :-P

Second try in speed-painting... Once again with great thanks to Andrée Wallin for inspiration!

http://AndreeWallin.deviantart.com/art/Exploring-89358984

Here my first try ever in speed-painting... I have recently been on deviantart.com, and found this really nice mech-scene, together with a tutorial-movie.

Here the link, I think it's just fair to show it, because mine is more then "inspired" from it...

http://AndreeWallin.deviantart.com/art/Wanna-play-84167006

Well, so I spent a few hours yesterday night and this morning with it... I'm still far away from the being good, and I take way longer too, but for a first try it's ok I guess.....

Small little rendering of one of the sketches here..... Just had a bit of fun with the wacom!

Some sketches for a citycar-drawing contest... Once again for Seat...

Here a Gundam-Style robot I made today in class... was kinda boring :-)!

One Gundam-Style mech and a battlesuit, once again made with red wine... ok, I know with the Gundam i screwed the legs! :-(

This time a mech-scene... I tried to put one of my mechs in a context... ok, it is a battlemech, so no much choice with the context :-D! 

Once again "coloured" with red wine! 

Here a mech I made tonight... I tried to render the sketch with red wine! Was fun... especially getting rid of the wine I didn't use for the sketch... :-)

Hey... some sketches for a supersportscar-drawing contest... I decided to make it for Seat. I like the sideview of the new Ibiza, and Seat doesn't have a single really sporty car in their line-up... 

Hey... sorry for being away for so long! I've been quite busy with some layout-jobs...

So, here is a fake-pic I made for one of the jobs.. It's a schoolbuilding, and my task was to add some beach-atmosphere... 

Tried to make one of the mechs a bit asymmetric and more dynamic, specially the legs where supposed to look more like really moving... ok for the first try, but i think i will come back to this again in the next days... the legs still give me a hard time! :-)

Another try on the carsketching... i'm still not so happy with it...there is a lot to learn... i finally figured out that drawing cars is not that easy after all! ;-)

But for about 30 min and only one layer i shall not complain... i think i have to make the next one more detailed...

Just spend about 20 min with one of my old sketches and photoshop...
