Black n White n a Fail

study for something I didn't finish because it was canceled. I might say "thanks god" or "darn" or "unhappy me" but I guess it's okay since I suck in painting humans a lot lately.
Drawing animals all the time for projects doesn't help at all solving the problem. I guess it's always like that if you have decide for your "style" and oh my if mine shall be cute chubby animals for the rest of my life I won't start complaining.

but damn, my general concept was so nice. The only thing I'm unhappy about.

Comics you should read...

are those of Lew.
follow the white rabbit

I love her comics. Not only because Hanni and Tretel (after the last week named "Hantje and Tretje"... since Hanni IS orange) got their very own comic :3

Shikishi

... tends to be unspellable for people who have no idea what it's used for.
Actually it's an autograph card on thick paper with a fancy silver frame.
My summer Shikishi for for the AnimagiC in Bonn, Germany will look like this:

after doing Kulla Shikishis this one is kinda great (not that the others were not great but Chubs give a lot more possibilites). I had some really odd ideas but this one was the best without giving too many spoilers.

Ugly watermark because it's a must.

Whoever wants the card should attend the AnimagiC convention in Bonn at the end of this month.

The day I buried my computer...

It's SO EFFIN HOT. Gods... thankfully the cats are happy with a plastic bag although it tends to be kinda annyoing if you have to concentrate with "kr schkrschkr" all the time.
Plastic bag dilberately destroyed. Goal achieved.

I spend the whole day rescueing/saving my old files... I didn't think it would take that long but well...

Hilarious slippers. I would never wear those outside but for "Cat wants to chew on your toes"-protection those are fine... It can't get any uglier though. And I realized that I am as pale as a corpse. No intention to melt in the sun though... 42° are not funny anymore.

Treadle likes those as well. I never had a cat with such a huge shoe fetisch.

Treadle: "They suit me, don't they?"
Anne: "..."









And: The evil package of doom (doom means= because of you I'm literally broke, you.. you... arf!). Computer is not back up... hope I can get everything done tomorrow :(
It sucks a lot.

PS. If you ever consider buying the suite, buy the englisch version. The german costs 1500 Euro more. Can anybody explain why anybody should pay 200% of the normal price?! I don't get it.





Yesterday I got bad news for my current job. Which leads me back to my project. If something isn't working out the way you want it, skip it and do what you *can* do. I am still angry though... spend so much time on something that will never be finished. Well, at least it taught me a lesson. Never to late to learn something, right?

*muttering*

Dear Tendo, I didn't miss you...

why did you come back?

Oh my pencil!

Week 2 with a book cover. Finally we're getting there- the final concept. But it was and is a very long walk but every time I get one little piece of the puzzle together I mentally make a cross... next step... next dozens sheets of paper.
Working with an author is really exhausting. Mostly because you can't look into his or her head. It's different and sometimes difficult but I enjoy it as much as it scares me because there are not only my expectations but also those of somebody else.

Can't show all those fail sketches but I will... when I'm allowed to like in... 2 years o.o

Dieses Ding kann einfach alles!

Eine Lieblingsbeschäftigung -und definitv amüsanter als die beste Komödie, wenn auch sehr sinnlos- von mir ist das Lesen von bizarr-witzigen Rezensionen bei Amazon. Es hat den Anschein, dass daraus teilweise ein regelrechter Wettkampf wird. Sehr zu meiner Freude, da die meisten nicht nur erheiternde Beiträge darstellen, sondern auch -meistens- sehr... nennen wir es einfallsreich sind.
Falls jemand noch nicht über diese Juwelen der Herstellerveralberung gestoßen ist, möge den Links folgen und sich freuen über geteilte Schadenfreude:
