Be my valentine... 

Small lil something for the occasion... ;)

Under The Mistletoe...

Merry Christmas Season to all of you!!! :D

AT-AT in ruins... 

An AT-AT patrolling a forsaken town. 

I tried to make this one with attention to detail, taking my time...

Textures from cgtextures and my personal stock. 

Small mood pic for The Swarming, a game I am currently working on doing concept art and overall art direction, and am now finally allowed to show some stuff. Except more to come soon, and for further information, check our facebook page. It is still a bit blank for we have just started public exposure, but more updates will follow in the next days! :)

Silent night... 

Just a small little something wishing you all a Merry Christmas!!! ^_^

trick or treat…

Would this be worth free candy for you??? :D

Happy Halloween to you all!!! :)

jfgr echidna snowworm... 

The boss for the ice planet Echidna. In the final game you will actually fight two of those beasts! :)

As usual, let me state that this is a non commercial fan project!

alien worm 02...

Second alien worm sketch... 

alien worm...

Some alien wormlike creature sketch...

jfgr orion weapon concepts...

Small concepts for all four weapons of the second playable character of Jet Force Gemini Resurrection, Orion.
The standard gun, the sniper rifle, the double laser and the homing missile launcher.

jfgr orion concept... 

The second character for Jet Force Gemini Resurrection, Orion. He uses different weapons than the other character, Nash, and is overall faster but with less firepower. 

This one caused me way more trouble than it looks like, due to the fact that I never painted a cat... In a spacesuit! ^^

As usual, let me state that this is a non commercial fan project!

Finissage demo... 

Made some live paintings via beamer at the finissage of my exhibition. 

Each 10-20 min... 

Oh, and happy easter! :)

field rotation cover art... 

Front and back cover for the new album of Field Rotation, "Fatalist: The Repetition Of History". 
It was an honor and a lot of fun doing this!

You should definitely check out the music!!! It is as brilliant as it is weird, hard to describe, but a pleasure to listen to! :)

cupid is ready... 

Happy Valentines Day!!! <3 font="">

robot sketch 004... 

Yeah, robots again! :D

The usual 45-60 min I guess... 

robot sketch 003... 

Well, what can I say, it is a robot! :D
Just a small rough sketch... 

A bit less than 1h I assume... 

mech battle steps... 

The steps to the mech battle painting... As usual, I hope it helps to understand and criticize my work! :)

mech battle... 

Made that one for my exhibition, testing my current skills... 

Worked on it for a few days, but had a cold, so not quite sure how long it took, maybe around 20h... 

gallery demo...

Just had my first vernissage, and made some live painting demo. I practiced the piece beforehand, so here the three tries and the one I made there...

Each 10-15 min... 

golden valley... 

Testing out some lighting here... 

robot sketch 002...

Just a small rough sketch before bed... 

Maybe about 1h... 

robot sketch 001...

Just a battle robot sketch I made recently. 
Critics are welcome! 

Dunno, maybe a few hours of experimenting and painting over. 

Mankinds Present...

Merry Christmas to all of you!!! :)

jfgr wonder wasp...

This flying thread with the cheesiest name ever (yeah, we had fun here!) will be the boss for the second level Goldwood.

For those of you interested, I changed the overall way to make those renderings here, making 95% of the wonder wasp in only two layers, background and boss, and only simply painting, no traditional sketch or so as underlay. 

As usual, let me state that this is a non commercial fan project! 

the zebra and the raccoon...

Yeah, a zebra and a raccoon drinking cocktails together as requested from www.ravenina.com
Bit out of my comfort zone, but it works ok I guess.

Took about 5-7h...

lurking...

Do I have to mention that I don't like camping that much? :D
Not one of my good days for painting, and got a muscle tension in the shoulder, so this took way too long. But at least, did a small speedy today... 

About 1-2h... 

daily speedapinting 037...

Nothing special, I am still not over the "creature lurking in the dark" scene... Expect something more detailed to come soon! But for now just a small tiny sketch...

Somewhere about 20-30 min I guess...

haunted house...

Happy Halloween to all of you!!! :)

House is a texture from www.cgtextures.com, rest is brushed. 
Took about 4h I guess, but had a break and didn't hurry. ;)

daily speedpainting 036...

The usual let's-see-what-will-happen-painting. Nothing special, again, just practicing depth in landscape a bit.

Somewhere between 1h and 2h of relaxed playing around.

jfgr missile drone concept...

The Missile Drone, a slow but powerful enemy in Jet Force Gemini Resurrection.

As usual, let me state that this is a non commercial fan project!

Update 29.10.2012: We agreed that the body feels too empty, I therefore added some more tech-parts. 

jfgr missile drone sketchbook...

Some rough sketches for the next enemy drone in Jet Force Gemini Resurrection, the missile drone. Equipped with a huge missile launcher it will be a slow but capable foe. 
Made those today in my sketchbook while sitting around and waiting downtown. Not my usual style of presentation, but it I thought it works better when seen in the book. :)

As usual, let me state that this is a non commercial fan project!

daily speedpainting 035 steps...

Just uploaded this coz it really shows quite well how unplanned my sketches start and how much I change in the process, just letting stuff happen till I see where it could possibly go. 

As usual, hope it helps you and me getting better! :)

daily speedpainting 035...

Nothing special. Still sick, but you know, as long as I do something... Keep up the routine, practice...

About 2h with a lot of playing around...

daily speedpainting 034 steps... 

Hope it helps to understand how it is done as well as to tell me all the places I have to improve! :)

daily speedpainting 034...

Sketch of a mech in an urban warzone... I can tell I still have a cold and lack some focus here... :(
Deeply inspired by the amazing Leventep! His recent piece "Mecha Spider" was stuck in my head for days, so I tried something in this mood to practice. I totally admire his loose way to start a painting, and how he manages to keep this atmosphere and depth also in the most detailed scenes! All things I still have to learn... 

Here you will find his stunning work. Please check it out!!!

About 90 min... 

daily speedpainting 031 032 033...

Have a nasty cold right now, so just not able to focus properly on the more detailed stuff I actually wanted to do this week. :(
So just some speedies I made in the last time. Nothing big, but at least practice... 

The usual amount of time... 

daily speedpainting 030...

Todays little speedy, nothing big. Turned out to be a winter landscape. 

About something between 30-45 min, not quite sure. 

daily speedpainting 029...

The usual evening sketch, this time a tiny study of a cataract. I want to come back to this sometime, never tried it before.

About an hour with lots of playing around and trying stuff.

daily speedpainting 028...

Just been asked if I can make a mech coming out of the mist in 10 min... Well, challenge accepted!!! :D

Ok, took 12-15 for adjusting light and contrast a bit... 

daily speedpainting 027...

10 min commercial break while watching TV... ;)

daily speedpainting 025 026... 

Nothing too inspired or planned, actually just doodling around, seeing what would happen... ^^

About 45 and 15 min... 

daily speedpainting 023 024...


Nothing very inspired, just not a good work flow today, but hey, made something, practice, and hopefully getting better. 


First about 1-2 h, second maybe 30 min... 

daily speedpainting 022...


Tired, but no bed before practice, so a bit of lava landscape. I will have to practice lava again sometime. And I hope I am getting better with rocks...?


About relaxed 45 min... 

daily speedpainting 21...


Small black and white landscape study. Wanted to see if I can get the values right. 


Worked on this for the last few days, whenever there have been a few minutes, and completed it today. Overall I assume 2-3 h of relaxed not hurried playing around. 
Yeah, it took too long... :D

the welcome committee steps... 

Hope this helps some and makes it easier to tell me where I can improve most.

the welcome committee...

Quite unrealistic, but I'd love the first Mars landing to be like this! :D
Wanted to paint this for quite a while, but just didn't have the skills back then... I hope this worked out ok. 
Critic is most welcome! :)

Worked on it for the last few days, but made most of it today... 


Update 10. September 2012:
Changed the one mech closest to the astronauts. Hope it works better now. 

two on two... 


Small Starwars fan-art speedy made for


http://www.bloodwear.de/


About 20-30 min... 

daily speedpainting 020...


And again, just doodling around before bed. I assume this is a robot taking off in a burning city, but not quite sure... ^^


No idea how long this took, but maybe 20 min for all, and again 20 min figuring out what the eyes shall look like! :D

daily speedpainting 019...


Too late and tired to continue my next bigger piece, so just doodling around, and this happened. I still don't know what it is... ^^


Didn't keep track of time either, but somewhere between 30-60 min of relaxed brushing I guess... 

daily speedpainting 018...


Small sketch, just playing around. Ended up with this... 
Practice...


About 30 min...
