These were illustrations for two different videos. In the first the topic is "How to write a discussion". The english-style is based on light outlines and colors that neither exceed 60% saturation nor fall below 30% value. So I kept it all fairly light. The pictures started out as pencil - drawings, which I refined and scanned. The rest of the work was getting the lines clean and coloring. What is funny to me is that the color makes the weapons look friendlier, almost like toys. Don't you want a plush Remington 870 for your kid? ;)
The second video is about the life of Einstein, his son and some sort of weird statue. I guess it should represent an important waypoint in his life or something.
Also today is my birthday, wooohooo! My co-workers gave me an awesome toned-paper-sketchbook and black and white chalk-penscils. I can't wait to try it out. Niels Walter, one of my co - workers drew a picture of me in the HEV - suit. Pretty kick - ass in my opinion.
@ Jarrad: that sounds like a great idea. I think a lot of people would be amazed if they knew how far they can push a piece. (Miles Johnston's words) Maybe that applies also to me ;)
@ ICi: thanks for the encouragement man, will do! *concentrated face*
@ Bjulver: yep it is great to see the game evolving along. And it keeps throwing work at me, which is also great :D When it is in a presentable stage, I will post a link to it and everybody who is interested can play and crit the s**t out of it. :D I can't wait!
And thanks for the hint about focused studies, it makes a lot of sense.
@tygerson: thanks a lot
@rama: thanks so much man
@jon: thanks man, and thanks for the crit. I should do some edge-studies and read up on it more. Maybe a sharpen-filter and shrinking my pictures would also look good. there is a great read on autodestruct.com about that. http://www.autodestruct.com/hacks.htm#presentation
That's it for now, now I will enjoy the rest of my birthday with Italian food and good cocktails :D If you guys come to Berlin, definitely check out the Paparazzi in Prenzlauer Berg and the Immertreu. It isn't cheap but awesome. ;)
And just for fun: an letter by Gabe Newell about Half Life 3 http://www.dorkly.com/article/54448/a-me...abe-newell.
See you.
