2017 was, without a doubt, a very eventful year – in many ways.
So far, 2017 was the busiest year regarding commissions (I stopped counting after 30 CMs; I surely wasn’t bored this year with lots of CMs as well as many personal projects – about which I’ll write more during this year – and the biotech university kept me busy too, haha). The commission waiting list felt endless, with many great projects and commissioners. Thanks a thousand times to all of you, who commissioned me!
Last year also confronted me with things I haven’t done/drawn before – like logo design, book illustrations, tattoo designs, etc. Summed up, it was amazing!
So here I want to share a few of my favorite commission works from this year!Continue Reading

pay the price for your greed.
You can’t hide when the last tree has fallen.Continue Reading

A restless dream- relativity of existence WIP_sm

Spontaneously decided to draw another work for the A.R.D.-Series. This time an OC of mine happens to be part of it – Erroth’Xero. Can’t wait to get to the gold leaf part!

It’s somewhat fascinating how this series haunts my mind and whispers while I sleep.

Apprentice(ballpoint pen and a some pencil work into my new A4 greypaper-sketchbook)
Emerging from the “Howls of Silence”-Sketches this sketch escalated and became something different.

…and yet I know, that this world is full of magical, wonderful things, patiently waiting for us to become aware and our senses to grow sharper.

Can you hear the silence scream?

Approaches to draw my Tinnitus. Some ballpoint pen sketches from the past days/weeks. First and last were drawn to try out my new grey-paper sketchbook.

Some more progress with the πάντα ῥεῖ-design. Finished with drawing all textures and basic shades for the creature, moving on to the background and later also further details on the creatures.
