Character Design

Meet Kitty, the latest addition to my character designs.
I saw a woman in the metro a while ago that inspired me to come up with this costume where the soft colours contrast a deadly nature. I don't remember if my character and the woman have anything more than the leopard patterned coat in common, but she was a distinguishable character for sure.
I love spotting "ordinary" people on the street that look like they just came straight out of a movie or a graphic novel!

iPad sketch

Was watching this year's Apple Design Awards when I saw the creators of Procreate receive an award. I've been using Artrage and Sketchbook Pro on my iPad, but none of them have an interface and a flow that allow me to just focus on painting/drawing while enjoying the process, and with time I simply lost interest in using my iPad for this. I was a little skeptical towards Procreate since the last two apps received really nice feedback as well, but I gotta say Procreate has really delivered a whole new level of fun and love for painting! It's just the right mixture of features, professionalism, performance and absence of distracting factors. It gets out of your way and let's you be creative.
So yeah, it definitely deserves a mention. :)

Studies

Recent head and colour studies.

Portraits

Lately, I've been doing a few different portraits for birthday presents and these are some of them.

Character Design

This is a concept I worked on a while ago. In it, mythology has come alive through the futuristic science of biomechanical body repairs.
This centaur guy lost his lower part in an underground explosion and has since joined the Sky Phalanxes to put as much distance to claustrophobic, dark caves as possible.

Flying Eagle

Portrait of Jonathan Nininahazwe aka. John Nini from Planum Dance House (planum.dk).

Here's an alternative and a wip collection:

Ship in trouble

Here's a rough illustration I did a year ago for my bf's dad's blog. It's accompanying a story about a Danish ship, a drunk crew member and... well, chaos.

Character Design

A pair of character designs for an adventurous, fantasy-themed graphic novel.

Studies

I haven't posted ANYthing on this blog for too long now, 'cause most of what I've been doing recently, I can't show yet. So to prove the blog is still alive, here are a few colour/anatomy/facial studies and an unfinished illustration I'm experimenting on.

At the moment I'm studying colour a lot and trying to make use of bolder, livelier colour combinations.

Hope everyone is enjoying the Spring. Here in Denmark it's still snowing occasionally, and though Danes complain about it a lot, it's not a new climate trend here. At least the sun is popping out to radiate warmth and good vibes a lot more now. :)

Character Design

A quick, loose and sketchy dragon priestess. Her left eye is what often happens when you choose a life of dragon petting, or that life chooses you.

I've been drawing so much lately that I just wanted to check that I haven't forgotten how to paint.

Happy New Year, btw! :)
