They are here~

Merry belated Christmas and a happy New Year, folks!

Livejournal doesn't show my entries on my friends' pages. I dunno why that is but they can see my posts when they visit my site. I dunno... LJ really annoys the hell out of me.

That aside:
Drawing with a proper story board is heaven. It's much more enjoyable and I can already decide what camera angle to use and... other stuff like continuity errors! :D

Story still lacks a real plot. Right now it's basically about three humans trying to survive. It's snowing there because I've been cold these past few weeks. Despite heating. :<

London, here I come!

Cheers,
Kath

Wreckage and Vodou

Macintosh and Naomi. From two different stories.

Mac is from that unnamed steampunk-abomination and Naomi is from a newer one which could be made into an adventure.

Now --> bed!

Inking Practice

Now my fingers are all black! :D
I had fun, though. But explosions are still a pain in the ass to draw. (Yeah, that's supposed to be an explosion. Go figure.)

Supposed to be Nate from Uncharted. Though you would not know it for it looks nothing like him. :D

More Pointless Uncharted 2 Fanart

Uhm, yeah. You know the deal. I really want to draw Harry but cannot get his face quite right. D|
Same goes for Victor Goddamn Sullivan.

Uncharted 2 > Life. But we already know that.

I never asked for any of your heroics.

Uncharted 2's Chloe Frazer. And me playing Uncharted 2.

Sigh. In comparison, life looks so bleak right now.

I'm smitten.

Moar Nate. I know that it looks ... boring. Apart from that I still cannot colour with photosob. But given that I can hardly think of anything else right now... I had to draw a Nate.

Blogger is bein' a SOB so I cannot upload the second picture I drew. It's again Nathan Drake. Only this time, it's a duck. Because a "drake" is also a duck, you see... Puzzled that no one has done this yet. Or I didn't find it yet. Anyway.



Aw damn... that keeps getting better and better. T_T
The story takes place in more than just one island-location so it has a faster feel to it. Apart from which: There are more cutscenes!
Overall the second part really beats the first one in graphics and possibly also story-wise. The swamp in Borneo was so... swampy!!! D:

And: Cute dialogues. I'm in love!

Such an amazing movie. ;)

Not dead!

And to prove it, have some pictures!

EDIT: Now with two more pictures.
Ich denke mal, es ist Ashe...
HEI! \o/ Character of Darker Than Black, an anime that I'm watching right now. The head's deformed, too. I wonder whether the laptop makes everything look... deformed. Had that impression for quite a while. Or: I need glasses. Which'd rock. I always wanted some.

Lighting practice. Kinda like it, even though the head's slightly deformed. Poor guy.
Nothing extraordinary. But it's been a rather busy few weeks with no internet for a while and other stuff... so I am kinda burned out. And I'm right now on war path with my drawing skills.

And then I decided to SOD IT ALL and change the whole story line- now it has a twist. That some will see coming. But I don't care. Right now I am looking for a way to start liking that story again and that means destroying all the horribly stupid passages and most importantly, the cliches. (They are still there but! then suddenly they'll be TEH GONE. So yeah...)

Apart from that, I am putting my characters through hell. Happy ending my ass!

Cheers, folks.

EDIT: Something I had always wanted to create.
I mean, honestly. I grew up with Darkwing Duck and Donald and Scrooge McDuck. No wonder I'm so fixated on ducks. Not to mention Count Duckula! D:
Back from the gamescom.
Had the idea for that shirt when I spotted one guy wearing a shirt saying "Offizieller Nintendo DSi-Tester". I thought it was a stupid thing to print on a shirt. You're not always testing an NDSi, are you? One day you're done testing it and the shirt is useless.

The globe is ripped and therefore not part of the final product- just to give you an idea...

That's all. Actually.

You keep what you find!

Jones and Macintosh... Jesus, I already love those guys. o_o
Nav will be completely mad. But he's a good navigator so that's okay. (He doesn't tell his real name. Everyone just calls him "Nav".)

I don't know yet what the plot will be. But given that the world will be rather complex I'll spend a lot of time on just showing how their community works, what they do for a living and who their enemies are. If you can call "toxic air" an enemy, that is...

Apparently, I already came up with a way to injure Jones. Not that I'm sadistic. But I have this highly dramatic scenario in my head... and he catches a bullet and falls down into some ventilation shaft.
I should mention that the whole world is very very much destroyed and the air poison so... they live in huge machines, restlessly moving about the earth, looking for something. Anything.

Is it sad and depressing? Nope, actually it's going to be a lot of fun.

It's the Spaniards, Sully! THEY NEVER LEFT!! asldjflsdfhb

You know how it is. You are supposed to do something but end up drawing instead.
This time it's Medley and Cap from a story that is still in development. Actually, it's been created, like, a few hours ago. It's steam punk and post-apocalyptic but fun! My sis had some good ideas for that one. Might as well use'em.




The title has nothing to do with... warum eigentlich auf Englisch...?!

=_=

Nix passiert grad. Keine Ahnung, worauf ich eigentlich warte... jedenfalls ist mal wieder tote Hose im interwebs. Vielleicht sollte ich mal versuchen a) schlafen zu gehen oder b) das Nilpferd bei parapluesch.de zu heilen.

Derra und Adrian, Figuren aus der im Moment noch genannten "Seelensaga". Der Titel wird noch ent-kitschifiziert. Versprochen.

Er hatte mal einen kleinen Antiquitätenladen. Ist von Hause aus ein Geschichts-Geek und sammelt gerne glitzernde Sachen. Ich sagte "hatte", weil der Laden am Ende des ersten Kapitels in die Luft gesprengt wurde. Armer Tropf!
Wird er jemals Entschädigung dafür erhalten? Wer weiß.

Komisch: niemand arbeitet in der Geschichte bisher. Vielleicht sollte ich das ändern... :| Immerhin schlafen die gerne in Unterkünften, und die kosten ja schon e bissel was.

Mann, genug jetzt.
Ich --> Bett

I bollocksed up!

Was supposed to look good.
Though you wouldn't know it. =_= Am not too happy with this. It started as a decent sketch which made me want to colour it. But somehow I ended up ruining the picture. It's not the way I pictured at all! There was supposed to be water reflections on the walls and him. Attempting that made the paper rough and smugded.

Then I tried to save it with photoshop. But really now... a good example of how to completely bollocks up a picture!

Need coffee. =_=

Good old aquarell.
Not much to add to this. Just felt like colouring something.

And a funneh dialogue with my sister on icq:

Kaeli: Direkt am S-Bahnhof in Unterhaching entstand für Familie Basch eine trendige Kaffeebar. Besucher entspannen gerne in dem schönen kleinen Gastgarten bei einer Tasse vorzüglichem I.O. Espresso.

:o
Maliris-San: D:
Maliris-San: *mental image von den Ronsenbergs wie sie ein Café betreiben*
Kaeli: *__*
Maliris-San: *_*
Kaeli: omg
Maliris-San: "Hier Trinkgeld!" - "Nein, das war mein Bruder. Ich hab Sie nicht bedient." - "WHUT!"
Kaeli: XDD
Maliris-San: "Hör auf, die Kundschaft zu verarschen!"
Kaeli: xD

Da würd ich mir auch einen Espresso genehmigen. °µ°

Dum di dum

Okay.
This is a scene from a story of mine. Farely far into the story and a major spoiler. No one knows the characters so no one will care that much but I had this scene in my head for over eight years now and have always wanted to draw this. But never did because I couldn't get the anatomy right. There's a time for everything, apparently. :)




He says "Hilf mir!" but the rest is in English... Honestly, I didn't notice that I had switched to English. But then again: It was late.
Really now. I drew this and four more pages at around 2 in the morning. I couldn't stop.

Not sure about the panelling... if you have any pieces of advice share them! :D

Will be inked and screen-toned later. Also: there will be a proper background. :o

EDIT: The second last page will be redone when I can find the time. D:

Horakan

EDIT: Uncharted fanart- because I felt like it.
Not too happy with that Drake-thing. He's difficult to draw. Must be the hair... |:<

The books about Mayan culture do help a lot to come up with a weird little archaeology story set in Yucatan. Still a lot to work on but it's getting somewhere.

The first story I had to do research for and I love it! \o/

... but I guess I still need to read the Popol Wuj.Of course, just ignore the background. It's not like the Mayas ever had that kind of architecture. ;) Just felt like drawing that stuff.

Still, watching documentaries on Aztecs culture on youtube makes my brains hurt: the comments are all so stupid! Example: "Whut! They sacrificed their own people to their gods!? Good thing the Spaniards killed them all!! Those bloodthirsty bastards!!!1111"
Seriously, do us a favour and remove yourself from the gene pool!

Moar.

Too much SGA. No specific scene; it's just one of those catch phrases of SGA. "Can you fix it?"
It's Rodney... though you couldn't tell for it looks nothing like him.
Erm, pseudo-John. Pier-scene in The Shrine. Doesn't look like him... oh fuck it.
The Shrine.
My favourite scene. T_T
Rodney is gradually forgetting who he is and will ultimately die if a cure cannot be found.
After a nightmare he so scared that John takes him out to drink some beer on the pier and this is where Rodney wants to say goodbye while he still remembers who he is but John refuses to say goodbye just yet.
And Rodney says: "You're a good friend, Arthur."after which both crack up laughing.

I so much loooove that scene. (And don't mind the horrible anatomy. It's wrong.)

Not much to say

Too much Cube and Nothing. Both films are great, though.
I feel so listless right now... no one really wants to talk so I am bored out of my skull.

Yay.

Hei ei ei

Hm.
Sollte ich jemals meine Azteken-Schatzjagd-Geschichte zeichnen, dann wird sie darin vorkommen.

Keine Ahnung, wie sie heißt. Jedenfalls ist sie nett und cool.
Habe mir zwei Bücher in der Stabi bestellt über Inka, Azteken und Mayas. Freu mich schon drauf~ :D
