From Russia With Love – WIP I

Daniel — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:20:53 +0000

I’ve taken stabs at sculpting in the past but it has never been really serious nor successful. This is about to change and I present you with my first sculpt that will be realized into a full blown multi-part resin cast which will be released in less than two months from now. Keep tuned for further updates as I reveal further details.

9 Panels About Love – Painting Process Part 3 – Finished

Daniel — Wed, 28 May 2008 15:49:31 +0000

Finally finished. I realized I need to start painting bigger pictures since this one is awfully small and fleshing out the details wasn’t as much fun as it could have been. It also taught me that I need to learn to be more exact and precise when choosing colors.

Oh, and if you don’t get the story (some details are still hard to make out, unfortunately): It is about the unpredictability of love. The little robot thinks he has found his love by tearing the petals of a flower and decides to send a letter of love to his new girl but through an accident he has to find out that his heart has decided otherwise…

Ice Comic WIP 2

Daniel — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:53:57 +0000

It’s been a while since I’ve shown you anything regarding the comic I am currently working on. As hinted in the comments and elsewhere I’ve spent some considerable time on reworking the story. At the moment I am focusing on the inking and hopefully I can progress to the coloring stage soon. Here is a peek into page 3 of the current state of the story. Inked but not colored and the dialogue is not present either, yet.

Ice Comic WIP

Daniel — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 07:06:00 +0000

I am currently working on a four page short story comic. It is a true story and revolves losly around the subject of climate and the melting of ice. So far I am done with the storyboard and I am going to start with the finalization in the next days. I forgot to translate it in this version but I will do so for the next update. Until then you’ll have to make do with my little synopsis below.

The story starts with me and a friend sitting in a café during summertime. It is very hot and I express that I can not understand why my friend would drink a hot chocolate during a time like this. I continue with describing how the ice in my glass melts so fast that I can almost watch the process. While saying this I am reminded of a winter about 20 years ago that was so cold that the Baltic Sea almost completely. My parents, my brother and me made a trip out to the sea and were astonished to see big chunks of ice sticking out. Almost like the famous painting by Caspar David Friedrich. Of course my brother and me get very excited about all the ice and we come back to our parents with big pieces of ice that we want to take home as a souvenir. All efforts of our parents trying to tell us that ice won’t hold out for long are in vain and so we go back home. The story ends with me being surprised of seeing the ice turn into water…

If you have any questions or criticism to contribute I would love to hear it.
