Happy little Unicorn

Hope you're having a magical monday!

(I've seen an awesome illustration of a stupid looking fat little unicorn the other day and decided to draw my own version of it)

Krampus

Gruss vom Krampus!

HOLY SH*T

I always wondered, how this holy sh*t, everyone is talking about, actually looks.
So I came up with this character design. This one is meant to be funny – no offense!

Life's Too Short

"The Teuton"

Quickly sketched this new profile picture for my buddy Michael Raubold. 

Sunstorm 2014

Lucky me was asked to design the Sunstorm Festival's very own undead mascot for the third time now and I'm pretty happy with the final result.

We based the illustration subjects around the working titles "Night of the living Dead", "Dawn of the living Dead" and "Day of the living Dead" for the three years, so time has come to draw a slightly melting Zombie for this year's festival. 

The festival takes place in Southern Germany from the 18th to 19th of July this year with an awesome line up including Knorkator, Sonic Syndicate Official and Atrocity Official just to name a few. So if you happen to be around Germany at that time, make sure to come by and say hi while I'm at the merch booth!

Step by Step

Some of you guys were curious about my workflow in general so here's a little "step by step" piece of one of my latest projects I'm working on right now for the Sunstorm Festival in Germany.

I have to admit that sometimes it really starts with me posing awkwardly in front of my MacBook webcam to get a reference before starting with the first rough sketch. When I'm satisfied with this sketch I'm always printing it in A3 to draw the final linework on top of it, using tracing paper and my beloved Pentel brush pen (and that's always my most favorite part of the action). After finishing and scanning the linework I'm always cleaning the outlines using Adobe Photoshop before tracing it in Adobe Illustrator, where I'm picking the final color palette and coloring it with my own custom brushes.

For the final finishing, I'm adding textures I've collected via Photoshop, giving the clean vector illustration a more "edgy" look and sometimes doing a final color correction overlay. Basically that's it! I hope this small description answers some of your questions but I'm still having to reply to a lot of emails from you guys. I'm giving my best to answer all of 'em soonish, ...I swear!

Thanks for supporting me and my artwork constantly and thanks for all the nice words and comments! I really appreciate it! – Cheers!

Rotkäppchen Reloaded V2

The emancipation of the Little Red Riding Hood.

Had been thinking about a new version of "Rotkäppchen Reloaded" for quite some time now. Did the original shirt design back in 2008. Still loving this idea. At the moment, the the final rough concept of the wolves is done! Will start the linework tomorrow.
