Bonus level: Star Wars!

Okay, okay, there's an extra update this today. I'm so happy about how this turned out that I can't seem to save it for later. I must show you now:

I experimented some more in the digital coloring process. And the topic? I don't know why Star Wars or why a comic panel. I just felt like making it like this. Maybe I'll do more.

Miauw! Stay tuned for bigger pieces.

Small Update

Random sketches and studies. I've been doing a lot of Copic Marker colors lately, but there is still a lot of simple black&white stuff going on.

And yes, that guitar player sketch is certainly inspired by that band..

Hey Bert, have you ever worked on stuff like video games?

I got asked that question recently. And as a matter if fact, I have. I did about 70% of all the art assets of the iOS game LAXOPOWER, when I worked over at Unit040. Drawing cow animations and tons of poop was probably the weirdest and most fun assignment I ever got paid for.

Some samples of my cows below

The zoo Part 3

 It has been a while since I had last visited a zoo. This time I visited the Beekse Bergen safaripark and again I took my sketchbook and supplies with me. It was a bit too cold to draw, but I managed to capture some of the animals on paper.

I love big cats. They know how to keep a pose ;)

For my other zoo animals, search for the 'what I do on holidays' post of 2013

The first update of 2014

Finally, a new update!

I'll try to start updating once a week. But for now enjoy these two moleskine drawings of certain scenes from our DnD sessions.

Last post of 2013

The title says it all. This is the last update of the year for this blog. I started this halfway 2013 and very late in my creative career, but the responses of the people around me to this blog are great! Thank you! It keeps me motivated in developing my work and puts a smile on my face.

Enough words, time for some art!

I only have a few more pages to go in my slim moleskine booklet. But I intend to use these for more colored work. As you can see, I am starting to use my good old Copic Markers again (Thank you, Lucid) to ad some more atmosphere and perspective. 

And last but not least! The "animation" I did for Maastricht University. I did the visuals and they did the voice over and sounds. It was great working with them.

Happy new year everyone!
