Hello fellow monkeys. I moved to another flat, so my internet connection sucks and I already reached the "highspeed-limit" from my UMTS stick. I wasn´t able to upload pictures anymore. After doomsday I have earned new Internet! Sorry for the delay.

I´ve been to the Pixar exhibition in Bonn. I felt like I needed to do more pixar studies. (:

This is the end? nah, don't think so. i wish you all merry christmas and a happy new year!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas fellow monkeys! I wish you all relaxing holidays with your friends and families!
Hopefully, you are getting only positiv unexpected presents!

Dirty Santa

HoHoHo ;) Have a nice Christmas guys! And if there is actually someone out there who hasn´t seen it yet...

Unexpected Present

Translation: Now let's see how he likes his real present. Hehehe...

10th topic - December 2012

HoHoHo, Christmas is coming...

but unfortunately the world is going to end on Dec 21th -so the deadline has to be on this final date ;)

But the topic will be something more optimistic than Armageddon -it´s

Unexpected Present

It kills me to see your the great stuff you did this time! I´m sorry I havent worked out anything. I hope next time I´ll be able to catch some time for the new topic! :)

Dawn of the Dinner

Still working on this one. Learned a lot from you guys. thx :)
Got a little impression from "Alice Madness Returns" and as you guys mentioned... he really looks a bit like "Skinner" from the Simpsons. Hope to finish it on the Weekend.

1, 2, Freddy's coming for u.....nicorns!

Well, I guess while Freddy Krüger was waiting in your happy dreams, he brought his love a little souvenir?!?! I wanted to try a darker style than I usually do, but I still ended up with some rainbows and unicorns :D.

Dinner? is ready!

okok, i have to admit that this one is a bit disgusting but hey, had a lot of fun painting it! great topic!

Dinner is Ready

9th topic - November 2012

 Hey fellow monkeys!

 The new topic for the next three weeks is called:

"Honey, dinner is ready!"


Deadline is Monday, 3rd of december.
Happy painting!

Sweep, sweep,... jump

Well, who didn't like to jump into the raked up leaves ... or should I say "doesn't" :D
Poor Mr. Johnson doing all the work :)

Fall Colours

At first I tried some classic paintings of red forests... but at the end this picture came up my mind. And because I had to paint a lot of egyptian beauties for a game project a few month ago -it just took a couple of hours to finish ;)

On the way to winter

hey guys. having survived my surgery on monday, i now have some bloody screws and piece of metal as nice little souvenirs standing next to me. inspiring to paint some slasher movie stuff but instead i have a dreamy fall scene here. well, gotta paint some rude stuff next.

new topic

next one is rather suitable for that time of year, it´s fall colours.

deadline is 12th of november

have fun

Monster Kindergarten

Hey there, just in time for the deadline. As Monster's Inc is my favorite Pixar Movie i thought of how Mike and Sulley would look as childs in a Monster Kindergarten Movie. Tried to keep an analog feel to the painting here.

Favorite Pixar Moment - Ratatouille

Ratatouille

Although there are lots of amazing characters in all of the Pixar Movies -I think I still like Skinner the most ;)

Kevin

It was my first time working with Illustrator. I don´t know if I´ll enjoy Illustrator someday...

but I had some fun at least! 

7th Topic - October 2012

I just went to the Pixar Exhibition in Bonn - it has been a very enlightened and inspiring experience to see the creative process behind these awesome movies! 

So the next Topic will be...

My Favorite Pixar Moment/Character

It worked pretty well with the 3 weeks timeframe - the deadline will be Monday 22th of October

Creatures from outer space or bananastreet :)

Had some fun with a webcam and photobooth. Tried different things like fruit and vegtables.
Picked 3 and did some fast overpaints. Took the idea from the book "Alien Race: Visual Development of an Intergalactic Adventure" by S.Robertson.

 

And here I played around with the ZBrush Mirror function.

weird creature

when I read the topic I was a little confused what to do this time. After spending some time in overthinking the topic I decided to do something evil. I had a lot of fun painting this one.

Alien Lineup

...and here´s the second pic - The usual suspects ;)

Creature from outer space

At first I started with some cartoony Aliens ...like always :) But then I thought it would be more fun to do some creepy more realistic stuff - and finished this one first... but I´ll post the other picture later on

Female Body Sculpt - Work in Progress

Started with a sphere and was testing the ZBrush Dynamesh function.

Going to replace the picture once I have finished my sculpt.

Super villain mansion... or iron castle something..

Well, I am 10 minutes late ... shame on me ... but i still wanted to post my picture.
I should really try to get away from this cartoon style :)

Red Mansion

Hey there,
had a lot of fun painting this nameless supervillain's mansion.
It has mostly been painted on one layer.
I've also put together a little progress gif here.

Sandman

Although I´m pretty busy with moving places, I´ve managed to finish something today. Don´t know if my picture fits the topic...but I liked the idea of the mighty sandman playing around -creating his own Supervillain Mansion ;)

So here we go with the next round.
It's Supervillain Mansion.
If it's of an existing or a new villain you come up with doesn't matter here.

Annoying Roommate

Deadline will be Monday, 30th of July ...Looking foreward to see some new artist

ARGH...tough one there

alright then. this one just called for a little bit of animation. but there's also a jpg version for you still freaks out there. other than that you can have a look at a wip of a first idea. but after showing the painting to different people and no one got the idea behind that. well..got kicked out. anyway, you have to get the idea for yourself. won't tell here.

Hard Decision -Playtime

...Has been a hard decision to pick one of the many ideas. I choose this one because it was the most fun to draw! And it has been my first picture using a Wacom Cintiq :) Awesome experience!

Make your decision Alice!

Here are my paintings on the hard decision topic...

I got inspired by the game "Alice - Madness Returns".

hard decision priest

this one was one of my first thougts for the topic.. don´t take it too serious :)

1st Topic - July 2012

Okay -here we go :) ...and because deciding the first topic for our new project wasn't that easy -it's called "Hard Decision".

We are going to make it a biweekly task, so we don't get lost in too much details.
Therefore 16th of July will be the last day to post your painting. After that, we are going to post a new topic.

If you want to join in on the fun and be able to post your paintings, please get in touch with Alex, Valentin or Björn.
