Well well...

Sorry that I've been away for so long, I had to manage a few problems here ... And excessively drowned myself in watching Stargate SG1 cause I got the last 4 season boxes not too long ago :D I just love that series <3 (And I do have that little thing for Daniel Jackson, I just cannot help it... mabe it's because I'm a geek too xD)

So what belongs to my artsy work at the moment: it's winter again and that makes my head somehow turn into a writing modus, so I digged out the SciFi - Story again that I'm working on since a good year now... Had a few new lines in my head lately and am now overworking the whole rest to make it compatible with the new stuff. My boss told me she'll help me to release that book once it is finished :D I will tell you when it's done :) I also hope I can afford a translation into english, so more people will be able to read it xD (And I admit, I maybe wanna beat Frank Herbert off of his throne... xD But we'll see, just not scream too loud yet, maybe it all goes wrong ..)
And while I'm writing this here, my internet fails once again... On sunday I had big problems here, first internet was gone, so I called the telephone guys to ask what's wrong, they made me set up the router new, and in the middle of doing this, we had a power failure here. -.- Neighbours told us then, the snow had made a branch fall into the power line near the house... 
Grabbing some candles going up to my sister watching TV (Cause it only blew away a part of the power line as it seems...) and waiting for the sh** to be fixed... After about an hour or so it worked again then and I finished setting up the router, just to call the phone guys again and ask what could be wrong cause it still didn't work. They told me then that because of the snow, the sender for my internet was also damaged as it seemed and I would have internet again in the next morning. Great one.
But well, that gave me time to dig out my story again ... Be curious and stay tuned :)

Ah yes - and for everyone who's interested - I made a kind of a portfolio now for my artwork :) Becaue I met a guy who maybe can promote my stuff a bit so he asked me if I have such things as a portfolio.. so I tried out that dA thing :) Have a look here: CLICK

That's everything from me so far, so if the snow doesn't bury me, I'll be back, see ya! :)

P.S.: One day later I got my so long expected new tools :D A box full of 120 pieces of polychromos <3 We'll see if I can handle them...

Meh...

Back from Ingolstadt... the flat I've been inspecting wasn't as sympathetic as I thought ... I'll keep on looking -.-°

So let's come to today's special - I'll show you how I more or less started drawing, cause it all began with watching Sailor Moon on TV... x))

I have no idea why the blog doesn't let me do align center but whatever... These are my first manga works ever, I drew the eyes upside down back then xDDDD And I spelled the names partly wrong xD But well, that's how it all began ^^

I also went out for a photoshoot on thursday to catch a bit of autumn's beauty, but sadly my camera didn't like the light conditions and I was only able to use a fraction of the ton of pics I've made :( 
And for the portrait now - the result was clear, pic number one will be redrawn :) Thank you all for voting :D I'm going to start working maybe today or tomorrow :)
And - if you're on deviant art - I've put up a new poll, and you can tell me your screen reslution if you like cause I discovered that a few parts of my profile are shown a bit different on the laptop and I want to optimize the view for all of you :) 
So then, going to look for some butterflys now, see ya! :)

Yea, I did it!

Hello me hearties,

so, finally I made it to re-scan almost all of my portraits - except for that "Sis" - thing because I gave it to my sis in the netherlands :) 
I also went out again for some photos, we always have this huge flower bush or whatever it is outside where loads of bees and butterflies are having a good time on, and today I found a Comma there (Click for Wikipedia) ... I've never seen one of those here since I can think x.O Very strange. To mention it - I love butterflies, but I think you knew that xD I always want to categorize everything that flies and crawls around, I just can't do it different xD (Sometimes I think I'm autistic... x.O) 

And - my mom made "Schneeballen" today, that is a traditional fried pastry here (yeah, tradition ftw! Except for the music here... bah xD), I covered them with powdered sugar :D 


If you'd like to have the recipe, please let me know :)

And - so you see my working gear now - I wanted to show you my gem of a new scanner :) Here you go:


It may be a little big, but it's lovely :D  I didn't even know anymore how good scanned pics look xD And I already brought my computer to its borders today xD I need more RAM -.- But that's impossible cause I have windows XP xD So I have to make the best out of what I have here... But it definately turned better now with the new scanner, I can work like a pro now :D *like* xD

And about the Tarja - pic voting... it seems we almost have a winner, the first pic ... I'm surprised because before it looked better for the other two x.O But better for me, so I can draw my fave, haha xDD

So far from me... see ya later! :D

Ahh hell -.-

Just got an email that the delivery of my polychromos (I found a 120 set on amazon for 125 Euros.. because I didn't get the one on ebay and I'd be stupid to buy them for 139 Euros there when i can get them cheaper on amazon xD) will be delayed cause of some wrong inventory, what means that I'll get them between October 29th and November 3rd -.- Narf ... well I can wait xD 

Ok and - because I told you I'll show you one day - I found my very first portrait again on my harddisk, so I'll upload it for you :)


That's how it all started xD (I think it must have been around 2003 or 2004 or so..) I was still working with my fingers back then and you can see that xD Hm yeah... Let it act a little and maybe leave me a comment :D
And these were those who followed after my first try:





And one of those 4 will be redrawn, I just have no clear result yet, which one. So keep on voting  :) 
I also think I'm going to visit the attic today and look for my first manga drawings... just for fun, cause they really looked awful xD

There we go...

... first "real" entry :D 
And a first question for you - because it seems you want me to draw Tarja. I'm planning on doing a "drawi it again" - meme with that, and now I'm asking you, which one of the pics would you like to see then?





These 3 I have already drawn ago ages xD My very first portrait was a Tarja portrait, I remember good, sitting in front of TV, watching Wish I had an angel, stopping the video and beginning to draw... I will show you the result someday xD

And I'm also sitting on ebay at the moment, cause there is an offer with a hellish cheap polychromos - woodbox ... I wants to have T_T Though I see no chance for me whatsoever. But I think I'm going to buy a box of them anyway cause I found them way cheaper on ebay so or so x

So far from me, please comment which pic you'd like to see, I'm curious :D  Just write - 1st, 2nd or 3rd =) Or vote on my Deviant Art or Facebook

*waves*


P.S.: What do you people think if I would do some kind of "art history" showing stuff that I did years and years ago? :D
