Bad Hair Day

Anyone any idea how to name this picture? "Lady Raven" sounds so worn out. Didn't we hear "Lady *put-in-some-stereotypical-shit-here*" a million times already? Or "Nevermore/Nimmermehr"... I'm really thankful for suggestions. Anyways; This is the counterpart of my last picture (Click!). I just can't stop drawing lately. I'm so happy I'm finally like that again. I didn't draw this much in years! And I'm planning on my comic like crazy. I'm thinking about designs for mounts, plants, characters, secenaries and more, and I'm slowly working my way to finally get them on paper. I hope this phase won't end again anytime soon. I finally feel productive again, and for once I do this rather for myself than for anyone else. :)

Fernweh

And one more picture I had in mind for years. I must admit, I really miss traveling. When I last visited another country, I was still in collage... Which was 8 years ago. And with every year, I miss tropical beaches, palmtrees and exotic vegetation more and more. Unfortunately I know that I won't be able to go anywhere this year also. And maybe next year. *sigh* But hey, that's one more goal I want to achieve.



The whole picture is done with Copic Markers again. And I didn't forget to take photos this time. Yay! I'm proud of myself because I'm drawing a lot lately. I even think about continuing my comic after over 2 years. Or rather start over new. ;D

Hagenbeck's Tierpark

Now I've talked about my zoo-adventure so often, I really have to post my best fotos of that day. Kei's mother made even more than I did and they wouldn't have fit into just one post, so check again soon for Claudi's pics. The following fotos were made at Tierpack Hagenbeck (Hamburg, Germany), with a simple digital camera without flashlights. I made some videos too. If I find a nice program to edit videos and sound tracks, I'll probably upload them on youtube. :)

Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa :D

I hereby present to you THE EPIC FAIL OF PLUSH! *lmao* (Found on ebay while searching for decent pokemon plushies. It's SO SO SOOO bad! I can sew better with my ass. :D )

Ara Ara, hihihi

And another picture inspired by my awesome trip to the zoo. They didn't have aras to be honest, but some other kinds of parrots. But I love, love, looooove these colorful beauties. They make me dream of far away jungles, tropical fruits, wonderful flowers and sunshine. It's already July and the weather here is just BAD. And if the heavens aren't willing to send me some sunshine, then I have to get some myself. ^^The lineart took forever. All those little details. But it was really relaxing. This isn't copied/drawn from a photo btw. I googled for references for the head and feathers, but the bird/pose in general is selfmade. And it's colored with copic markers (not pc). :)

Mini Sketchbook

My new mini sketchbook (A5). It's just for boredom sketching when I don't want to waste my good paper. Also pencil looks a lot better on this kind of paper since it's a little thicker and has more structure. Hu well,... It's definitely nothing big and not my best either. It's just for relaxing a little and my new anti-artblock-campaign. ;)


PS: BREASTS!!!! :D

Out of boredom

I've been to the Tierpark Hagenbeck (the famous zoo of Hamburg) last week. The tropical aquarium is SO worth visiting. I made lots of photos of lemures, crocodiles and fish. The fire fish however was my favorite that day (besides the orang utans and the tigers... and the baby lions... and... XD ). Aaaanyways; I had this idea at the zoo already and yesterday I was pretty bored, so... It's not well planned. The body is totally off because I drew and colored the head first without the intention to add more. But I had lots of fun drawing and coloring this. :3

rit's Sketchbook Vol.13 - Nocturnal Silence Special

And even more sketches! I've been drawing my OC Aurore of my Started-Years-Ago-But-Never-Continued much loved Manga "Nocturnal Silence" again. I've been thinking about the story a lot and I really want to start over again and this time not stop after 6 pages. Anyways, here's the re-design of Aurore's outfit. Though I'm planning to change some details, for example the belt, skirt and shoes. But all in all this is it:

My Aurore when she was a child. I really need to practise drawing kids. I don't like her face yet.

I also re-designed my second OC which I used to call Rabi. But I don't like the name anymore, and I prefer his new look.

And some sketches of another OC. She's nameless and I'm not sure if I will add her to the story and if she'll be a side- or a main-character. Maybe she will make an appearance somewhen during the story as a unsuccessfull healer who makes everything worse instead of better.

rit's Sketchbook Vol.12

Yes, I'm still alive! Though I do feel more so now than I did in the last half year. 2011 just isn't my year I guess. But it's getting better,... Or rather I'm working on that. Anyways, I didn't draw anything big since the wanderer pic, but I sketched quite a lot. So here are some pages with random sketches!
