Pirates of Black Cove

The upcoming game "Pirates of Black Cove" from Nitro Games has be announced recently at the Paradox Event in New York. I had the pleasure to define the visual style and do concept art for it. Some of which I may showcase here now.

The next 3 images depic the captains of 3 of 4 different pirate factions:






Some of the sketches for the pirate units and buldings in the game:



Hope you like 'em. More to come.

Today's Output

I got here 2 little paintings. For the first one there is only Tron to blame, which I finally saw today. Fantastic art and design. So I wanted to do some shining stuff as well.



And the secound one just happend, while I didn't know what to paint.

Lonesome Cowboy

The Collector

On digitalartforum.de Daniel Lieske offered the chance to publish fanarts on his blog and also a favorite of these in the credits of the first chapter of his webcomic Wormworld Saga. So I made the following artwork. Check out his blog for the other great entries by some fellow artists!

This is a little teaser for a private project I'm working on in my sparetime.

Ho-ho!

I think this year needs one last post.
First, here are 2 images from this years Secret Santa on digitalartforum.
The upper one is done by me for Chinasky / Holger Kirste who did some cool fan artworks for "the Song of Fire and Ice" , also known as "Game of Thrones". I illustrated a scene from the first book which I thought was one of the more important scenes and also because it had this christmas feeling to it... but with more blood and dead animals... erm..


In return a received the following image which was made by digitaldecoy/ Daniel Lieske , showing my steampunk Blackbeard as Santa. A great surprise and present.
By the way- you better go check out the first chapter of Daniel's brand new online graphic novel on daniellieske.blogspot.com . There's some magic going on there.




So have some nice holidays and a happy new year, guys!
2011 will be very interesting, so stay tuned.

François

This one's for the weekly challenge on digitalartforum.de

Subject is to paint a member for a whaler crew. Florian Biege is the initiator and provides the background. The character François is done by me- he's responsible for filleting the whales.

Jack-o-Lantern

I thought it would be fun to try a jack-o-lantern once. So I went for it today and am quite happy with the result.
I also made a small step by step for the lantern and the soup a made out of his brain. :)

Birthday Present

I made another little present for my nephew Elias, who yesterday had his first birthday.
It's an measuring block ( I hope this makes sense ) where his parents can mark every step of his growth.



I bought the gecko at an art supply store, colored it and wrapped it in multicolor yarn. Took me quite a while to accomplish that... ^^
