Blooop... blooop...



Well, if there's anybody who interested in to know about how this happened that I came up with the picture above... Spontaneously :)
Anyways, take a look from the bottom.


Then, some idea appeared in my head... And the work started...
I was playing with the linework... I like this sort of calligraphy-wise work when you do draw a "fast curve" with one quick one-touch movement... and lots of Ctrl+Z, untill you actually got that nice line. Well, you know :o)
So... At the beginning there was nothing, just a few "speed lines" I'd done as a little "hand-warm-up" as I use to do from time to time.

Spooky time...

Yeah... Hallowww... everybody!.. We did this kinda Spooky Singing Ghost together with my 4 y.o. son Nikita. He did the drawing (for a few seconds), I did the rest (spent some 40 min playing around). If you think that his part looks definitely better than mine – I do agree :o) Yes, son, you did a very cool ghost! I can't do that...
Have a scary one folks!
BwaaHaaaHaaaa.....haaa...

Testing a Bot-Pet...


Hey there... Well, this is a preliminary sketch I did digitally. I'd like to make a water color illustration about this "Deep Forest Expedition" later on... But, shhh...

Please, welcome my blue eyed Train Engineer... He just jumped out of my head where he'd been living for a while.

People around me...

Here comes Thomas The Little Tank Engine...

Hi there,

Well, I'm totally in steam. I'm art-directing on Thomas & Friends now.
This painting I did, as my little work-out, was a bad quality small screen shot from Youtube at the beginning. There was almost no sky etc.. I repainted the picture, added a little bit of details, added the sky and painted a helicopter in it. Why? Because it's just a cute happy helicopter zipping around. We need one. Sure thing!
P.S. And
just in case, there's nothing about the actual upcoming episode here. Just a little bit of fun.

Cheers,

Chuff... Chuff... I steamed away...
:o)

Wow... Look at you...sweety!... Gimme five!..

It's my Mom's birthday today. She is a microbiologist, she also does some DNA-engineering. She has a big and pretty much unique collection of different bacterias at her work. So I did this birthday card for her.
Happy Birthday Mommy!!! :o)

Another design development leftovers...

Well, you know, I won a character design contest 9 months ago here at the studio I'm working for. And only now, I can show you a few sketches I've done in the process of that development.
See, these guys have a bunch of ideas how to make your life kinda full of fun. Here - fooling around with a big balloon, hydrogen and fire :)

-----
This one below is what I started with.

-----
Another one, it's the same main character also, a different look. And that was too goaty though...
It's somewhere in the middle of the development.
