The year 2013 ends...

Hello everyone!

Finally I can do this post I wanted to do a long time ago. The year 2013 will end soon. I had to take a break from all my work so far. Next year, some things will change. I cannot do as much work as I did. Many of my drawings and stuff were not published so far. I simply have no time to scan and upload them all.

However. In this post I want to show every other image I might not have shown so far.

As far as I can tell, there will be more dragon-images and work for indie author Craig Halloran, as well as portfolio work and more for other clients.

But for now I want to say: Thank you, every visitor, for watching my blog and being interested in my work. I hope you will have great weeks that are left of 2013 and a happy new year.

We will see each other again, in 2014.

The rest of this post are images that I created so far. Enjoy.

New images

New images, done with traditional tools. Acrylic colors and inks. It is actually very relaxing for me to work with traditional tools. And due to years of painting digital I was able to take that knowledge, so my traditional images could be worked out as I would do with digital ones.
To practice more, I will work more with traditional tools than I did before.


And here an image I worked out digital:

Soon I have more drawings and sketches to show in my sketchbook, as well as more colored work. Have a good week!

New illustrations and sketches

A new cover for Craig Halloran's story "Chronicles of Dragon", showing Nath Dragon (the hero) at the front.

A portfolio-piece and personal work showing an army of magicians fighting against a "Fireworm".


And more sketches, rough works and drawings are uploaded daily into my new Sketchbook on Tumblr:

Meanwhile I draw a lot with pencils and other traditional tools. My eyes got tired after half a year of working digital the whole day, every week, every month. In case you want to follow my traditional work you can visit (and follow if you like) my blog on Tumblr. But I will upload my sketches soon and post a bunch of them in this blog too (right here, so you don't have to follow two blogs). I hope I will have my energy back very soon, as digital work is of course very important nowadays. And I have new colored works in progress, as well as drawings prepared to be colored and textured the next days.

Stay tuned and thanks for visiting my blogs.
