Welcome!
I'm a digital graphics artist in 2D and 3D. On this site I present my graphical development and also all other interesting things about art I see all around the world.
After all that comic work I wanted to draw scenes with a "deeper sense". When I drew those comic style pictures, at most times a head or a whole person was the centre or even the only object in the image.

Then you can just say if it looks good or not, but nothing more. In my eyes that was not enough for a good image. I wanted the observer to think about the image. What is the meaning of it? What do I want to express with it? I wanted to produce emotions.

May I introduce Florence Face-Plant? That is the star of the upcoming Xbox LIVE Indie Game platformer Face-Plant Adventures.
This game is a classic 2D jump&run like Super Maio Bros.. The graphic has a very colorful style and allmost every little part of it (except effects like blur, fog, particles etc.) is drawn by hand.
The style looks like a painting. Most elements of the world were drawn by pencil, scanned into PC and colored with a tablet.
The game is still in the playtest. So if you have an account for AppHub you can test the game by following this link:
You can also get news of Florence Face-Plant by following him on Twitter:
Or become a fan of him on Facebook:
Inspired by the movie
Pulp Fiction I made the character called Jackual Samson. As you can see it's an anagram of Samual Jackson.
He should have been a bad guy but on his way it was good what he was doing. I wanted him to be an anti hero. But that was just the rough concept.
I startet drawing a comic. Although I never finished it, it gave me a lot of training of drawing scenes with pencil that I would color in
Photoshop later. That was, what I wanted to do.
Here I have caught an interesting interview from DAZ. I'm allways interested on having a look on the techniques of other artists. So you can see the differences or parallels. And you can get inspiration, what is for us artists like the air to breath.
DAZ Studio and DAZ 3D's Realistic 3D Human Figures Play a Key Role for Professional Illustrators
An interview with Sam Kennedy, illustrator and 3D artist...
By Blaine Furnerl
I was able to sit down with Sam Kennedy and discuss the tools he uses to create incredible 3D artwork for both his day job creating images for slot machines, and also as a freelance illustrator.
How do you use DAZ Studio?
I work as an illustrator. My style is highly polished and very realistic which I developed while working as a video game marketing artist. Working at a video game production house, I always had a full team of 3D artists at my back. I would use their in-game 3D characters to develop the marketing art for the various video games on which I worked. Whenever I had an illustration to do I'd sketch a few thumbnails on paper, then grab the in-game assets and start to pose them in 3DS Max. This was a super-fast way to work. I also liked this virtual process because I
The first time I heard about Star Wars the clone wars in 2008 I was very glad that new Star Wars stuff would be produced. But then I saw the graphic style. At the beginning I had really big problems to accept this style. Anyhow I saw every episode. And as longer I saw it, the more I loved it. The style is still not my favorite, but I recognized, that the graphical quality is much better than the graphical style. But that's a matter of taste.
Today I love watching every single episode. And so I can't await to see the new season.
In the hour-long season finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano is taken captive and hunted through the wilds of a jungle moon, on the run from merciless and sadistic Trandoshan sport hunters! Her escape efforts receive an unexpected boost from a friendly -- and furry! -- fellow captive: the legendary Chewbacca teams up with the desperate Padawan to prove to the hunters once and for all that it's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
In school times everybody used watercolors. But in school I mostly used the colors as they were. I mean for example if there was a red ball, I just painted it with one shade of red, or mixed a different shade than that, that was given. Nevertheless the object had just one shade of the color.

But in my free time I discovered the work of
Boris Vallejo (
click here for some pictures) and was absolutely
excited. So I read a book about his art and
Techniques and tried to improve my skills. I didn't use oilcolors like him, but I tried to get the best out of watercolors.
