Trödelking

 

I think Lew came up with the name variation "Trödel" first. We had mostly everything you can make out of his basic name.... Knödel, Knetje, Tretje, Trödel...

Hantje is "Flantje" at the moment, because her fur looks like a flan (pudding with dark caramell spots on her back). Oh well... 

Btw it took dozens tries to get a pic of Tretel with crown. He doesn't like it. Otherwise he pretty much ignoes stuff I put on his head.

Jaja.... ich beschwer mich nicht, aber wer hätte gedacht, dass es SO VIEL LÄNGER dauert.
In Farbe ohne Outlines eine Seite fertig zu bekommen dauert praktisch ewig. Heute sitze ich mal wieder an einer, die ich schon gefühlt vor drei Jahren, praktisch vor drei Wochen angefangen habe.
Warum so langsam?

Weil ich nicht wirklich anders arbeite als auf der Leinwand. Im Vergleich zu schwarz-weiß sehe ich prinzipiell keinen Unterschied, außer dass man alles, was sonst schwarz-weiß wäre, vernünftig füllen muss. Eventuell liegt da die Krux. Plötzlich ist auf so einer Seite einfach viel mehr. Mehr Details, mehr Formen, mehr Strukturen..
Ich hoffe, mein Arm hält durch und ich lasse irgendwann davon ab jeden verdammten Grashalm einzeln zu malen.

Ansonsten gibt es für alle deutschen Comicleser eine "awesome" News, die eventuell noch nicht wirklich die Runde gemacht hat. Daniel Lieske hat in seinem Blog nun endlich den Verlag genannt, der "Wormsworld Saga" herausbringen wird.
Natürlich Tokyopop! Ich freue mich unendlich und bin schon neugierig, wie der Comic im Druck dann angepasst wird. Ich gehe mal nicht davon aus, dass es eine Endlosrolle wird ;)

Falls jemand nicht weiß, was "Wormsworld Saga" ist, möchte sich auf Augenbluten und einen visuellen Orgasmus vorbereiten und HIER KLICKEN.


Endlich kommt frische atemberaubende Farbe in die Verlagswelt. Vielen Dank!

Oh noes! So blue!

If you read via RSS you happen to miss all the fun. I'm still trying to find the best text format but otherwise you have to deal with cats now. ;)

I happen to sort through illustrations and finished comics right now and it looks like I didn't really do anything in the past year. Which is not true but ... didn't do a lot for Chubs. Hopefully that will change soon and a lot. I already feel like "whoa, crappy" seeing the old pages but it's a good sign. 

The bad thing about it is that I want to redo everything O_o

As always, Lew is my flat-cat. so if you want to know who's the best flat-cat on earth visit her blog and enjoy funny comics about my cats behaving stupid. >_<

*drooling* Fan-Plush Kulla

That is SO FREAKING cool! I love the plush (and already asked for one I can have XD). The girl who made it can be found here. Isn't Kulla cute? Isn't she???? Aww.... *drooling at the screen*

need a little magic

burned my fingertip today... which makes hitting keys pretty hard and mistyping all the time. Argg...
A bit work in progress... with a chubby fairy version of Kiki requested by somebody from Deviantart.

 

sketched in my moleskine with blue pen (thanks to Lew!)

 

Lew scans it and cleans it..

 Flats... done by Lew as well (I feel pretty useless without her to be honest XD )

 

correction of base colors and first color blocking done... by me...

 

soon to be pretty without outlines. At the moment looking rather odd.

I think the best or worse part is finetuning when the details come out nice (or not) and the shapes get clear and everything looks just "right". At the moment the dress doesn't look right but it's okay... not finished and i think it's good to show the steps between messed up and "pretty" ;)

Kiki recently got a lot of very ugly and stupid outfits. The more I make the less I think she's not gonna end up in another butt-ugly costume. Alas, she wears those with grace.

Yoga Tretel

Lew requested more pics of my cats... so here we go. I would be able to post 1 odd pic per day.. seriously I have no idea why Tretel loves sleeping with a blanked or on his back (like a dead cat) or like this.
Anyways, always worth a smile or a pic ;)
Hantje looks like a pudding cat. She got very fluffy (and a bit fat) and seems to melt on he ground like a blob. O_o

new sketches

... love the cookie jar.:D
