Here's another one in the caricature series, be it more subtile. Heath 'joker' Ledger made a big impression on me. I tried to capture the essence with his eyes and the maniac with his mouth.]]> Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:59:41 +0000 http://artoonator.cgsociety.org/gallery/668033

My wife, seeing Angelina Jolie on tv, said to me; "Even when she's being filmed on the street by some paparazzo she looks gorgeous".
So than I thought; "Aha! But what if she was caricaturised by some illustrator!?" ...you tell me.

Photoshop, wacom, several hours.]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:00:11 +0000 http://artoonator.cgsociety.org/gallery/667658

Personal practice session with photoshop and wacom tablet. I see this as a personal breakthrough in my digital painting skills. But how I wish I had a cintiq... The reference used was a random photo from the net, so if this is you; Sorry.]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:51:00 +0000 http://artoonator.cgsociety.org/gallery/627035

This is a concept I've been working on for a while now. The idea came in my head when I was playing petanque (or 'jeu de boules'), a traditional French sport. I love the sport, but unfortunately it's not very popular below the age of 50....So I started whondering; What if I create super-petanque-players with amazing ball-control? Just like the dart-players that enter the stage in a cape, playing their own fighting tune (eye of the tigre?)....

I registered the concept of this bunch because I want it to be animated by a major studio. Who's interested?]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 15:04:06 +0000 http://artoonator.cgsociety.org/gallery/570979

This is a poster illustration I did for a foundation that promotes (modern) art, in this case to youthfull humans (yes you kids). It will be used for web, billboard and flyers. The event where it'll all take place is Art Rotterdam in Holland.

Check the backgroud, there's an actual logic there.]]> Sun, 09 Dec 2007 10:38:33 +0000 http://artoonator.cgsociety.org/gallery/557617

This is an illustration for a book cover. The book is a songbook and it contains songs about Europe; Silly songs about each European country. The lyrics are illustrated by illustrators from these countries. I wanted to give them all happy 'monumental hats' to strengthen the recognisability of each culture.

Done in about 20 hours, including concept sketches.]]> Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:34:52 +0000 http://artoonator.cgsociety.org/gallery/511881

Higher expectations
Of a higher truth
Interpreted the manna
From a thought
From dry soil, the mind,
Solitary
The hunger speaks of negative spirals,
yet convinced of what was written,
It eats itself.

The truth is female.


Technique: Ink and photoshop
Size: 15cm x 35cm

While filling in the upload form, I saw there's only the option to post digital illustrations (!). Didn't know that, so for now I decided to push it through. I filled in photoshop, since that is the programm I scanned the original into.
I hope it's an option to post analogue illustrations like these.
The original was made in acrylics on a 30x40cm carton.
It's one in a series of illustrations for a childrens book.

Made in acrylics, finished up in Photoshop. Combi of traditional and digital.]]> Wed, 29 Mar 2006 15:47:23 +0000 http://artoonator.cgsociety.org/gallery/280894

This is one of my first extended digital works.
Done in Photoshop, finished in Painter.
The idea was to create an estrangement in a contrast: She is the caretaker and the big creature needs her care.
