I almost forgot to thank everyone for your most recent comments as well as for the DD feature I got for this piece. Shipyard by cat-meff
Special thanks to :iconerikshoemaker: for the suggestion!

Man, I know I've been inactive for long time time here on dA and while I had legitimate reasons, it was partly because I felt like I wasn't improving fast enough
and that I should already be at a much higher level. It's about time that I learn how to deal with this so I really want to start posting more frequently again.
I'm also currently right in the middle of setting up a shop where you can buy prints and digital downloads of my pieces! I'll keep you updated on this of course!

Hey Guys!

Sorry again for my recent inactivity. I'm finally done with exams and everything went better than expected!
In other news, I also got my new computer and dammmmn, lets just say it was worth every cent!
Which leads us directly to point number 3 - I managed to set up my old livestream account again. I'm planning to do a test stream this week to see if my interent connection can handle it.

On to next and last point:

Many of you guys know me since quite a while now and are aware that, besides being an artist, I am also a videogame enthusiast.
So I decided to participate in the annual Gamescom T-shirt Design Contest. The Gamescom is an international trade fair which takes place in cologne, germany.
What I ask you to do is to take a look at the entries and vote for them if you want. Unfortunately, the registration is in german so I assume if anyone mostly
german-speaking people are willing to go through this. Your information will not be visible to the public. You do not have to vote for my entry if it's not your kinda thing or
you like a different one. Just please don't post any hateful comments or downvote people on purpose! The voting ends on thursday the 12th of june!

Here's the link to the gallery: gamescomwear.com/index.php?cat…
and the one to my entry: gamescomwear.com/Hall-of-Fame-…

Thanks for reading!

Hey guys,

it's another one of those "look-at-me-I'm-still-alive"-journals. I've been stuck in an art block for the last couple of weeks, nothing that I produce seems to satisfy me.
Other than that things are going sort of well for me. However, I haven't done a Q'n'A since a long time so feel free to ask me a thing or two!

Oh, some answers to the most asked questions:

I use Photoshop CS5/6, PaintoolSAI, Mandelbulb3D, Blender and recently got into Flash Professional CS5.
My trusty wacom Intuos4 L tablet fulfills every desire I have as an digital artist and I've been drawing since I can pick up a pencil.
Also one of my life goals is to pet an emperor penguin.

(man, I really need to add a FAQ section to my frontpage)

I hope you guys are doing great!

First of all, Thank you very much for the DD! I totally did not expect this today and was like: wait, what? When did that happen?!
haha, what great way to start one's day :'D

I also got an incredibly huge amount of tutorial requests and let me tell you, they won't stay unanswered.
The thing is, my preferred method would be Livestreaming because I can show you every little step and you can
ask me questions simultaneously, so I might be able to repeat a certain section if necessary.
Buuuuut, and this is the bad side, people, who've been following me since a while also so know that I
have tried livestreaming before and that the quality was unbearable. Blame my computer, that thing is a freaking potato.
A technically advanced potato if you will, but still not good enough to satisfy my needs.
Good news is, I'm this close to buy a new one. I'll keep you guys updated on that topic.

Also I got a few questions concerning the above for you:

1. What kind of techniques are you interested in seeing? (for instance painting, photo bashing/matte painting,...)
2. Are there certain topics/themes that should be covered? (robots, cities, creatures,...)
3. Do you want to vote for a technique/topic? (dA poll)


Thanks for reading!
