Burnin' Wet Dinosaurs

My three imaginary frineds; Chief Mighty Horse, Albert Hovercraft and Jack Hollænder just started a wicked daily blog. Well It's not actually daily, but they draw a drawing everyday, and upload em' all in a huge post every Sunday. Remember to check em' out, this weeks theme was Bubblegoose Standoff

Lines Long Forgotten

Been drawing cubes and objects for a while now, and these weeks we are doing some kind of sculpture stuff. And this blog is not really the place for that kind of..... blah!
Instead Im gonna upload some old lineart that I newer got to finish. I allways wanted to colour digitally, but I don't really like working with the medium that much. So now Im trying more and more to do stuff traditionally, and only a little photoshop.

Sorry bout typing errors but Im a little tired.

This one is actually pretty old, but I still kind of like it.
Wanted to do more with it but cant find the orginal:(

These werewolfs was drawn a late night with my sexy
friend Mikkel


This is an atempt of making more of the job traditionally. Colours are still in photoshop, but shadows and texture is the real deal.This is the non-colour version

Giant Finds Crispy Gem

The promised story with a giant who finds a dead lizard.The charactor is inspired(ripped) by another giant from japanese animation called Kemonozume. It is one of the best anime series you can find. It has samurais, monsters, sex and a retarded monkey. Check it out!  This is the last post from the 5 week illustration course which is already over. Now I'm drawing cubes and stuff, and I don't think I'm gonna upload that. 

Days of Being Friends

Our last assignment in the illustration course was to make a poster that should be 70x70cm. On the poster should be 49 illustration of 10x10cm. The 7 rows should have the headlines:

7 good days

7 cold days

7 wrong days

7 fun days

7 weird days

7 warm days

7 wild days

Everything else was up to us. 

I already made a small story about a giant (which will be uploaded later) and wanted to do more storylike stuff. So made this 7 story about these 2 forest critters that would go through all kinds of crazy adventures. I had really crazy ideas about the layout of the poster, but we only had 7 days so I went for something safer. I also decided to do it in greyscale to save time, which only made it better I think, especially with all the raster I put in. I’m not a 100% happy with it, but glad I did it. People also seem to like it a lot so that’s all that matters.

Nasty Old Men

This week we got a new teacher in Illustration. His name is Rasmus Bregnhøj, and he is a complete copy of this guy. Both in appearance and in voice. You really got to see it!

He is a good teacher thou, and the course is gonna be about sequential art, or maybe more like pictures in series (that might just be the same). As a warm up, we mad 30 ink drawings of our own face. Its hard to explain, but they should be of the same picture, but not look the same but still match each other as a whole?!

It was hard, but fun and I think mine turned out a little silly. And when my teacher walked by me, he asked if I made a lot of comics. I don’t know if that is a bad thing, but its funny it is so clear in my style.

Instead of showing them next to each other as they were intended I decided to do a small giff animation instead.  

Everything in the world!

Finally an illustration course! I was about to kill myself after weeks of photo and typography. Was gonna upload that stuff too, but now I just want to forget about it.

Our first Illustration assignment was to draw everything in the whole world, so our teacher had made a complete list of everything, which is roughly 3000.

Afterwards he gave us rules to follow for each drawing and blab la bla, doesn’t really matter just check them out, I had so much fun with it, and tried out different mediums.

 

Btw, this has been the coolest teacher we have had: Mads Berg

the Cute, the Scary and the retarded

Feb. the 1. was my gf's birthday and I had no idea what to make her. I knew I couldn’t buy her anything because I'm broke as usual. I actual just got a job as a substitute in this youth club here in Kolding, and It's pretty sweet. All you have to do is just play around with the kids and that’s all. The downside is that its only a few nights and I doubt it will bring me much cheese, so still looking (: In secret I still hope that a good job will walk up behind me, and beat me rich while I just lean back and relax.

But back to the present. She always asks me for a tattoo design of a horse, but that is not going to happen. I just don't like making tattoos for people, cause it makes me scared that they some day will hate it. A tattoo is just too important for me to make. That’s how I feel now anyway.
So I decided just to go for a drawing.
I wanted to make her something that maybe reminded her of me or something, so I decided to go for one of my favourite topics, Danish Folklore.
I have always been interested in old stories and northern mythology, but I guess it first really started when I began reading Hellboy that I got interested in the old tales. I began reading books about it and got really amazed how much we got, just in Denmark. So one of my bigger dreams has become to some day make a book about it, with a lot of sweet illustrations.

So that was what I decided to make her. A small book on Danish folklore, with a little text. I haven’t made it as a book yet and she already got the illustrations but I hope I will get to finish it before she leaves Denmark.

From the top: Ellepiger, Gårdbo, Maren, Trolde

As you can see I'm really confused about my art style for this one, so I think I will both make a children book and a book for adults.
In the end, I'm quite happy and she was happy as well, so expect to see more folklore critters. So many I have left out.
