Mario and Luigi sketches

These two where done in the first week of the vacation. The two illustrations where done as a practice with styles and coloring.

The Front Gate...

The Front Gate is a illustration that's made for a lesson in ConceptArt, where the subject was to make a illustration of a dark fantasy theme.

Dark Mage refined sketch

For the lesson ConceptArt I needed to make a whole set of thumbnails for a character in a dark fantasy style. The above sketch is a more refined version the one in the set.

Mega Man Legends x Blade & Soul

This mashup is made for a school assignment to mix two different games. The character from Mega Man Legends is done in the style of the MMORPG Blade & Soul.

Speedpaints Homework!

These speed paints where made for homework, each of them is made under 30 minutes.

Kamen Rider speedpaint

Kamen Rider was one of the shows that I watched when I was still an innocent kid ;) It inspired me to do a speedpaint of this show. A photo was used as a reference, time spend on it 1 ~ 1,5 hour.

Some simple speedpaints

Two speedpaints that where made as two paintings in one screen, it was a good practice to switch between two, when making them.

Hero Animal Squad concepts

During the first project of the second year @ the HKU, we got a project to develop a concept for a tablet game. The game itself became a runner game with animal super heroes.

Warplane sketch

This weekend I decided to draw some kind of vehicle, it turned into a deformation of a warplane. The inspiration for this illustration came from WOII warplanes and some details found on sport cars.

Artwork ISA first year @ HKU

These designs where part of a series and made for the ISA project which I did during my first year. It was a mainly based to practice rendering of artwork. The designs where all styled to a somewhat sci-fi based setting that lives of the green energy that all the designs contain.

I don't know what I should do for my coming ISA this year... hmmm ;)

The cyclops in the city

Factory @ sea

Retro Shooter game impression sketch

In the first Semester I had a lesson called "Thinking of Art", in this lesson it was the goal to make a illustration of a game bounded by rules and a target group. My task was to create a illustration that would portray a game set within those goals. And a certain artstyle, the style that I got to work with was Geometric shapes. The game was based upon the shooter games like Ikaruga, Raiden, DoDonPachi and Space Invaders.

Some vehicle sketch

Last week I made this sketch while watching TV, so I just sketched without thinking what the end result would be.

Sketching a Wha.... uhm Submarine

Just a quick sketch I've made this evening. The idea was to sketch a submarine, but at some moment I decided to add some smirking/evil looking face one the submarine, just like those old fighter planes had. At the end I didn't wanted just a grayscale sketch, So I decided to tone it a bit to give it some extra touch.

Seminar: Character Design @ HKU

This work is made during the Seminar Character Design at the HKU. The first weeks of the new year opened with a three week long seminar session, I really enjoyed the seminar and the things I've made during these weeks.

Old versus New(er)

This illustration was made last year December for my MidYearAssessment at the HKU in Utrecht. My other work is more cartoon based, so I wanted to the show the pannel with teachers who graded it, that I also can work in a more realism based art style, which I really liked so I'm making that a lot more now that my cartoon work. But I still do cartoon/comic based illustration, working in more styles is better of course.

A happy mailbox

This illustrations was made in the last weeks of last year. I decided begin with a grayscale illustration, but after finishing that one. Some friends recommended to color this one, well I did and it looks a lot better this way. I finished the colored version in the first weeks of this year. The mood of the piece is really more readable in color, which is better!

Speedpaint: Factory

This speedpaint was a good practice for me, the way this one was made. I needed to be speedy with this one, which is already a good practice. I worked in grayscale, but a colored version I think will be nice. O well maybe for later... ^_^'

Train arriving at station

This illustration was made with no idea at the beginning. I was just planning on doing an environment, but when I was working on it, I got the idea to redo it and make a train arriving at a station. I enjoyed make this on, because I like trains in general and the perspective that fits the scene with the vehicle.

Late night Character Thumbnails

On a late night two days ago, I was painting these thumbnails, just to for fun. I really enjoyed making these. They where made only using some sketch brushes and no colors at all. Maybe later when I feel like it, I will put some color on them.
