'1 swag up!'

[Onisan]

Hi my name is Markus! I'm a graphic design student in my final term and I'm trying to become a concept artist!

At the moment I'm working on my final project at university together with the german game developer Deck13 Interactive on their new and not yet announced multiplatform title. My first major title, yay! :steph:


Fell free to comment,critique or ask questions! Thanks for viewing :donk:

[AeonPhoenix]

I like your style...almost reminds me of sumi-e :D SHOW MOAR

[Onisan]

I like your style...almost reminds me of sumi-e :D SHOW MOAR

Thank you! I will try hard to change that "almost" in the future ^^

Here are some things i deleted in my work in progress thread.

[Shui]

cool！～

[Onisan]

cool！～

Thanks !

Here is a new tryout portrait of Amaterasu. I feel like I'm getting closer with the hair piece. Any comments about it ?

[Onisan]

Full Body shot of Amaterasu.
I have to invest some more time in the stuff at her back...

[Onisan]

some minor adjustments and a view from the back.

Now I have to work on her face >.< I can life with her clothing like that.

[Onisan]

This should become Amaterasus brother Susanoo.

A greedy guy, easy to influence, always envious of Amaterasu and with a huge lust for power.

[Onisan]

My first ideas of the character Sarudahiko.

[Creusa]

Hm. I like your style. The lines seem to be casual, but the whole thing is all clean and neat.

[clockworksnail]

hey, Brilliant start,
your style is way cool!!!
ima definatly gona be back!

[ColorExcursion]

Awesome work! :D
Would love to see your lines in pencil :]

[Onisan]

Hm. I like your style. The lines seem to be casual, but the whole thing is all clean and neat.

Thank you very much! My art prof kept telling me to draw way more casual maybe I'm on my way :D

hey, Brilliant start,
your style is way cool!!!
ima definatly gona be back!

Thx I hope you will like the stuff I do until then!

Awesome work! :D
Would love to see your lines in pencil :]

No you wouldnt :D I'm really beginning to get rusty with my pen and paper.


Here is a new piece of Amenouzume, "The Great Persuader, and The Heavenly Alarming Female. She is depicted in kyogen farce as Okame, a woman who revels in her sensuality."

[AzusaPesant]

I like how alot of your stuff is on feudal japan.
But I want to see more of the practice stuff, your warmups and quick sketches. See where your coming from under all that talent, so then I can rub some of that talent on me and what not, take a talent shower, with talent soap, you know, with talent.

And nice website =)

[Enydimon]

Agreed, while I love your feudal Japan stuff, I'd like to see your warm ups and studies as well.

Keep rockin'!

[Onisan]

I tend to copy layers once in a while so normally I have some to share if you are interested.

Here is the main pose I started with. Maybe I just want to see the girls naked before they get their clothes later on ;D
Most of the time I adjust the pose during further progress because they are not flawless :o need to study !

At the moment I'm working on my very first matte painting! Will probably keep me up all night so I try to update it once every few hours of progress :>

[Onisan]

The first two layers finished. I will animate it afterwards so I need some more stuff in the forground, any feedback so far ? :)

[Onisan]

almost done >.<

[Onisan]

This one here is a room full of mirrors. Amaterasu sits in her "golden cage" in the middle and reflects her light on the mirrors. They are aimed at one special mirror above, one of the japanese crown insignias yata no kagami.
It is spinning on top to reach the light at all incoming angles creating a spherical shape like the actual sun.

This is how I would imagine her spreading the sun around the world :D

[Onisan]

Working on the main villain of my project. He is called Tsukiyomi. Darkness, the moon and alle the creepy evil stuff.

[SekuDanba]

Nice work Amaterasu, my favourite is the villain concept :)

[Onisan]

Thanks SekuDanba I think I'll try to finish Tsukiyomi because I kinda like it too :D

Here is a new piece of Amaterasu, I think I can start to work on her final image if I get a good pose. I also recorded my sketching this time for the people who asked for earlier stages etc.

Sketch record! (http://www.vimeo.com/7402018)

Maybe I will do this more often now, but I feel kinda watched when it records... hopefully I get used to it because I felt nervous sketching hehe

[dangerdash]

great great design, I trust you should work more on these!

[Enydimon]

That Tsukiyomi guy looks awesome. I hope you plan on fleshing out out more, because it'd make a great finished piece.

[Onisan]

That Tsukiyomi guy looks awesome. I hope you plan on fleshing out out more, because it'd make a great finished piece.

Thanks! After the positive feedback he is definitely next on my list!

At the moment I'm working on this one here. Amaterasus descned to earth to grieve about the death of her servant.

[Onisan]

Ok here is the almost finished piece.

I'm not sure about the glowing sun like energy on her back yet so I didn't draw it at all. I post only the closeup here, the whole body shot will be in the WIP section for feedback.

[Onisan]

Hi guys ! just a little Tsukiyomi progress. currently rendering in black and white... damn that takes long should boost my cpu a little bit :<

I'll add the dark energy last.

[Onisan]

This break was way too long ;>

Here is an update with some progress stages

[Onisan]

Here are some new sketches. Focusing on a finished version of the perverted Amenouzume the next couple of days.

[FightingSeraph]

Interesting spin on Shinto mythology if I do say so myself.

[Onisan]

new attempt to finalize Amenouzume here. digging the bondage outfit now ^^

[clockworksnail]

Hey man, im back as i said....

these are really good. im not sure i can honestly fault you.

i do think you should get re-united with your pencils tho.

[phoenicorn]

stummbled on this page by accident and am I glad I did. awesome stuff. cant wait to see more

[Onisan]

Hey man, im back as i said....

these are really good. im not sure i can honestly fault you.

i do think you should get re-united with your pencils tho.

I think our time will come again someday we had a nice time in the past :) Thanks for coming back!

stummbled on this page by accident and am I glad I did. awesome stuff. cant wait to see more

Thanks I'll try my best!

Here are some environment sketches I did to exercise. If you have any comments, expecially about composition (I'm new to that^^), please let me know. The first one sadly got a little cropped in the progress...

[Onisan]

One more environment test.

[Memo213]

Your stuff is crazy, keep it up! I want to see something more realistic and less stylized from you.

[Onisan]

Here are some things I did recently. I'm doing a 2D/3D internship at the german game developer Deck 13 but I hope I'll find enough time to do some stuff for my sketchbook!

I'm focusing on thumbnails and ideas at the moment.

[Strassenpenner08]

Oh my god !! ur stuff is fuching awesome :D i really like your works.....
Your digital stuff is pretty good ... i would like to see some traditional work like pencil :D
.... here some words i couldnt translate in english:

Oha .... xD nochmals fetten respekt!! deine kleidung richtig krass, mir würde es nie gelingen den falten und so ... ^^

[Liffey]

Hey, great work! You have some very unique designs, keep it up! :)

[Onisan]

@Strassenpenner08: Danke! So realistisch ist die Kleidung meist eher gar nicht :geekg:

@Liffey: Thanks a lot ;D

Here is some more stuff. Trying to get into the whole steampunk/ victorian age thing

[Onisan]

Some work in progress from reference

[Vatsel]

NIIIICE improvement here man
some of these studies look really helpful.

as far as crit, on the last one that black shadow is really flattening, a brighter value with more value shifts wouldve done a better job at describing form

Anyways, I've taken note of this SB, keep up

[Onisan]

@Vatsel: Thank you I will keep it in mind!

Here is a pencil drawing from life with a little photoshop colouring and another sketch.

[Onisan]

Here is the progress on the two recent pieces. Time to start something new :rocker:

Tomorrow is my first day at my internship... Starting to get nervous now

[Mr.Alamo, C.]

Moin!!
Ich finde deine mecha anzüge und mythische bilder echt gut,so viel positiver geometrie,vor allem so richtig,bin persönlich zu faul für:geekg:
freut mich mehr leute aus small germany zu sehen:sungod:

Schöne grüße aus Osnabrooklyn,
Andreas

[Onisan]

@Mr.Alamo, C., Danke danke ^^ Also es sind ja schon ein paar aus Deutschland hier! Qualität statt Quantität und so :D


Here is a character for the MB Twitter Challenge about their Transient IP. I clal her "Rat Burning Bertha!".

[Onisan]

And here I was trying to post more regularly... no chance at all! Here are a few things I scribbled for chow when I had some time. We start to do a weekly sketch group with all the artists at work so maybe there will be some more stuff to show soon.

[Onisan]

Here is a 1h speedpainting I did. Trying to do a little more quick stuff and studies... Looking forward to some drawing outside with the good weather these past days!! Happy easter

[Wilko]

Some really great stuff here! Keep up the good work. Especially like the "Amaterasus" digital painting - really nice.

[Onisan]

Thanks a lot Wilko :_D

Here is another 1h speedpainting before I go to bed, dedicated to blue I guess

[Onisan]

Another Environment speedpainting

[Giorge]

nice bunch of concepts but you got to do something about the background ... that gradient wont do ... just messes things up ... take care

cheers

[clifFroth]

Awesome work, really enjoyed that staircase.

[HTML rulez d00d]

really strong shapes in those mechs keep it up

[Onisan]

Thanks Giorge maybe the next one is not the best example but I will try to work on that. Hate to do the background at last ... I should take some more time.

Thanks a lot clifFroth, much apreciated!

Trying my best HTML rulez d00d, mechanical stuff is kinda hard to do without any industrial design background...

Here is a new character and I added a little step by step if anyone is interested in it!

[Onisan]

Here is another quick one

[Onisan]

yay I'm on a roll ^^" sry for the spam!

One in the same fashion as the last piece.

[Onisan]

last bump... sry didn expect to do three in a row! good night

[Onisan]

Here is a quick one dedicated to mitsurugi from soul calibur

[Onisan]

Here are two more BW sketches

[Onisan]

Another quick armed nun character in b&w

[LordVenom]

Really nice sketchbooks, you have a nice understanding of colors and lighting. There are some minor anatomy issues here and there but nothing serious. Keep the good stuff rolling.

[miycko]

Sweet sketchbook man :D i really love the style of your characters & your paintings and studies are looking great :teeth: thanks for the visit in my sb & keep up the good work :)

[Onisan]

Thanks LordVenom. I hear the anatomy issue pretty often, guess I have to do some more figure study soon to get better. Maybe I will have to review the Marshal Vandruff Anatomy for Artists once again.

Thank you for dropping by and for the kind commets miycko :)

Here is a little more advanced wip version of my archer/nun/vampire slayer. Have to finish her until Tuesday ... but now I need to sleep

[Onisan]

A little closeup of my progress... Stuck on the background at the moment and it should already be finished by now T_T

[Onisan]

I started my first master study today. Nevertheless I decided to change the female character in the piece " La Source" from Ingres. Looking to get a little closer to the actual colour of the piece and its mood without colour picking.

[greyskill]

Wow, you have some really cool stuff here! You have an incredible imagination, you transfer ideas onto paper really well. Your thoughts look good in thumbnail and amazing finished. Inspiring work, please keep it up!

[kmoeini]

I really dig the colors in post #65. nice job.

[Ivan Turcin]

beautiful warm colors on post #65
keep it up!

[FourTonMantis]

Love your characters. Keep it up.

[Onisan]

@greyskill: thanks a lot for the praise, I feel really motivated :D

@kmoeni: It is still wip but I think I'll keep this colour pattern if you like it. thanks for dropping by.

@Ivan:Thanks to you too, really helping with the images progress!

@Mantis: Cheers mate! Thanks for the kind words.

I have some progress of the Ingres Master study. After I moved the reference between my monitors my eyes nearly popped out after seeing how different they interpret the colour of the piece... I have to adjust a lot more on the colours but I feel like I already learned a ton!

[DeeStar]

wow, I would love to see some more of your step by step chaacters if you have any

[Onisan]

wow, I would love to see some more of your step by step chaacters if you have any

I have some older ones from last year. I will post some of them for you.

[Slobosaurus]

how about hello nature?

[Lyno]

Really lovely work Onisan. The demoreel on your site is great. And thanks for the steps of the fat flying character, always cool to see some steps.

[greyskill]

Wow, the oni is intense!

Thanks for the post on my SB!

[Onisan]

Sorry I don't get it Slobosaurus :drinkup:

Thank you Lyon, I think I will keep the step by step progress up as good as I can. Maybe I will write a little more if some are interested in my thought progress.

Thanks greyskill, I'll definitely be back at your sketchbook so keep the updates coming ;D

The current piece I'm working on will be my first attempt on a comic genre. Since I'll attend the Made Symposium in Berlin, I thought it would be a good idea to add some of those to my little portfolio :D Since this is pretty difficult for me and I don't have a lot of comic experience, I appreciate every feedback!

Since the announcement of Marvel vs Capcom 3 was made not long ago I decided to dedicate my picture to the game. I simply chose my favourite characters so I can draw characters I always enjoyed ;D Hope you can already see who they are

[Woji]

Hey, just wanted to say I really like your style, you've inspired me for the day.

[Onisan]

Thanks Woji, my pleasure :)

Update on the Marvel vs Capcom Piece. Some rendering progress on Wolverine and Akuma... wanted to finish Akuma today but couldn't find any time Y_Y

[LAL]

great work！keep it up my friend!

[Vatsel]

great blending skills!

I see you got even better

[Chr. Steam]

Like your monochromical works.

[monsi]

good looking stuff man :) keep posting!

[Onisan]

Thanks LAL really appreciate the kind words!

Hey Vatsel welcome back, improvement is the best compliment of all :D

I hope you like the Marvel vs Capcom piece also after I coloured it Chr. Steam

Thanks monsi, I will and here is something new :)

I was just in the mood to do something I don't do a lot, besides comics. Now it'S cartoonish comics.. don't know if that makes any sense. A little piece about peter parker picking on clumsy and overweight venom. Spiderman is a bitch!

[Danny_K]

nice improvement, especially on the wolverine arms I liked that. keep posting mate

[surus]

Keep on posting these asian characters! I love the drapery folds as you draw them! Do you also have some pencil sketches to share!

[Martell.Joshua]

OH MY GOD!

[monsi]

haha the new one is great. well executed :)

[Hatonacat]

Hey Onisan! really nice sketchbook you got going here! :D i really like your Asian inspired characters and your rendering of the blob guy in post 29 one the first page! hes looking sick! but anyways man keep updating! great work :D

[Onisan]

Danny_K thanks man, still trying to get the anatomy correct but i guess you have some more freedom with comics.

surus I already kind of finished my asian themed project but well it is a great influence to me so once in a while I'm sure another piece will pop out :D As far as pencil sketches, I will scan some stuff over the weekend because I'm at my parents house and I have no scanner myself at the moment.

Martell.Joshua :ilaekae:THANKS! ... I guess :mittenbop:

monsi Thanks it was really fun to make.

Hatonacat Thanks a lot, after being inspired by your awesome characters there is no way I will stop posting any time soon ^^

Damn there is one even meaner thing than being woken up by a loud alarm clock... having a cramp in the leg before you are even awake... crazy start for the day. Well I did not manage to do a lot yesterday but here is a WIP of a weapon design I call "hunger". There are blades at the handle and they cut open the hand of its wielder. Because of the blood smeared blade it is possible to draw it quicker from it's scabbard. Got the idea from the animes Katanagatari.
Well I'm going home now to draw, work is over maybe I'll udate again later. Sry for all the text I feel chatty today ;;D

[NickyBeats]

really great stuff man!! i LOVE that marvel vs. capcom image!! keep working on that one, its gonna be sick when its finished.

[cgaddict]

Your figure drawings are extremely impressive - nicely drawn and designed. As for critiques, I think you can benefit from working on your lighting more. You're doing a lot of value studies which is great (and you improved a lot from the first page in that regard), but I think you can benefit from focusing a bit more on lighting. Keep at it!

[Onisan]

Just a little update on the run, will add some more pictures and thanks later guys :)

[mike butkus]

Beautiful paintings and character designs, well done.

[Onisan]

NickyBeats Thanks a lot, I will work on it later so hopefully there will be another update before I go to bed ;D

cgaddict Hey thanks a lot for the heads up! I'm always thinking alot about lighting but I guess I should do a lot more studies to get better. I'll keep it in mind :)

mike butkus thanks for looking, I'm honored ;D

Ok since my sketchbook started people often asked me about my pencil sketches and I .. well... didn't have any because I was so stuck at my wacom. The last few weeks I "tried" to become friends with my pencil again. As a nice side effect I discovered, that there is a whole awesome world outside of my little box !!! Wel... nevertheless here are some pictures. A lot from live, a little from reference and a bit imagination. For example the first sketches for my marvel vs capcom piece started as thumbnails in my book.

[Onisan]

some more, had to split it up in two parts because of my unreliable internet connection ;x

[Onisan]

update with a little rendering progress. fooled around with some colour... I think the next update of this piece will be when I'm finishe. I don't want to spam so much :x

[fantasyartist]

Great designs! Your sketches from life are looking really good too. Just keep working on your figures and you'll be fine.Study the structure of the skull more as it seems to be a weak area. Keep it up.

[Onisan]

fantasyartist Thank you, Heads/Skulls are definitely on my list of thngs I have to improve sooner or later :)

Here is another update. As I'm almost finished with the rendering I decided to start with colour and paint finish the rendering after all the colour is applied. For my colour theme I will do a lot of red/blue contrast between Ryus Hadouken and Akumas Dark Hadou. I noticed that Ironman is also mostly red with blue energy from his engines and the power source on his chest. The only colour left from Ironman is yellow which is also on wolverines clothes so they kind of surround Ryu and Akuma. It sounds reasonable but maybe I'm just dead tired... good night! :)

[NickyBeats]

oh yea Onisan! that piece is looking awesome!! iron man looks really great! -also, all those pencils are really nice too!

[cgaddict]

Nice updates, your figure drawings are killer. Very dynamic and full of depth; Your latest painting has some incredible lighting effects, glad you focused more on values first as opposed to colors, I think you have a better image as a result from that. Great work!

[Onisan]

NickyBeats Thanks a lot I hope you still like it when it's finished and I don't screw up :D

cgaddict Welcome back and thanks a lot ;D

Ok here is the finished piece and I have to move on to the next one. I decided to da a major crop because the left side of the picture was very empy and since it should be an action shot I wanted to keep most of the calm parts of my economy out of the picture. Please feel free to correct me and give my feedback on which one you liked more. ( I mean the work in progress and the finished, the second piece beneath is just a closeup).

Ok here is the cropped version and a close up shot... I noticed after I was finished with ironman that I probably was zoomed in too much :D

[Onisan]

Here is the next character design I'm doing for a little contest. "the titan"

[Onisan]

a quick creature on the go

[Onisan]

Some rendering progress of the titan

[Nutella]

Holy toledo @ post 102. I'm diggin' the sharpness of the edges, although I have to admit that I know very little about painting, especially digitally.

I love your pencil work! Keep it up man!

[DeeStar]

Back for more, post 102 is looking incredible.

[Locus]

You've got a nice variety of good stuff in here. And you do a good job at refining and finishing rough black and white sketches, which is something I'm still working on. No critiques at the moment, but I'll keep an eye on it!

[jonone]

some cool stuff markus,
but dont forget to get in the foundations right,composition,shapes color before anything.take ur time!

cheers

[Onisan]

Nutella Thanks man! Everybody has his own taste so if you like it I'm happy :)

DeeStar Very kind of you be sure to come back soon!

Locus Thanks for the heads up, looking forward to your feedback!

jonone Thanks a lot man, I was planning to do a lot more foundations because I always tend to rush into every piece... hopefully I will be able to get to a picture quality like yours.

Here is my kind of finished Titen piece and some studies from today.

[Enydimon]

Your landscapes are bitchin'! The shading on the graphite ones are top notch, even if it's not complete.

The digital stuff is looking good too. Keep it up!

[Onisan]

Enydimon Thanks a lot !

Here is some progress on my Ingres master study with a different girl.

[Onisan]

Here are some studies from Albert Bierstadt paintings. They are not really precisely execute but maann he has some serious implied lines going on in his work.

[xxPurple Nugxx]

awesome concepts and characters. the marvel vs campcom is fantastic

[Onisan]

xxPurple Nugxx Thanks man, much appreciated!

One more study of no landscape this time.

[Mabelma]

Woow. First thanks for checking out my sketchbook and for all the great advice, second. This is just amazing, truly amazing. I love everything, the silhouttes are really nice an I love how some of the images you post have like a start and finish procress kind of thing and at the end, everything looks amazing. The backgrounds/landscape are really nice and the original character are awesome, so are the fan-arts. Keep up the amazing work and I would like to see more of you.

[Incinerated]

fantastic stuff, thank you for stopping by my sketchbook. It really is a pleasure looking at your renders, Your environments are really are great, but still you need to get more structures in them tho, so far its all been organic nature scenes.

[iven]

Deine Monster sind echt WAHN sinnig, echt FEDD !!

:wtf:

[Onisan]

Mabelma Thanks man I hope you got something out of it. I'll check out your other stuff and give you some more advice if you think it was helpful.

Incinerated Thank you, that has to be Albert Bierstadts fault, he focused heavily on nature. Maybe I'll do some Sparth studies too, maybe you like them :D

iven Dankschööön !

Here is another quick sketch. Saving Private Ryan without looking at too much details, shapes, comp and colour study.

[Nonobot]

Wow! I must say, some of your monsters have 3D qualities to them and those really pop out to me. Super stuff!

[lennon]

Wow, the last ones are great.
The titan is very well rendered. You may practice more the figure so that you become faster.

[Onisan]

Nonobot Thaaanks man I really like rendering stuff out... but the rest is off most of the time ;D

lennon Thank you, I will :)

Here is some random stuff I did today! Yay 5 pages !!

[Cameli]

Nice pencil sketches!Love the last enviros the orange is my fav.And the last portait has some really nice tones keep it up :D

[LordVenom]

Damn i wasn't here for a long time. Awesome updates man, i really really love that funny spidey venom post you had, incredibly cute and funny!

[Onisan]

CameliThanks a lot man!

LordVenom Glad you like it and thanks for dropping by once again ;D

Wasn't able to do a lot the last few days, this weekend is off and it is getting a lot cooler now, so there will be some more updates the next few days.

Here are just some quick character/creature silhouettes.

[Onisan]

Here is a quick character/sniper concept.

[fenixx]

You gotta a real neat style man. Nice sketchbook. :)

[Onisan]

fenixx Thanks a lot man !

Another little update on a character concept.

[fenixx]

Hey. I've been making attempts on painting portraits in PS with very very bad results. I was hoping you could drop by my SB and give me some advice. Its epic fail really.

Thanks.

[Onisan]

Quick creature/demon concept, hope you like it.

[Onisan]

one more character quickie to kill time

[Onisan]

Mech'ish concept and some.. well... shapes I guess? :)

[Onisan]

Here are some soldier studies. I also started a BLOG (http://markuslenz.blogspot.com/) where I will update additional stuff to my sketchbook! Got some awesome and pretty huge books this weekend, Renoir, Degas, Tizian and a collection of the Louvre paintings. Definitely looking forward to doing some studies out of there soon.

[pixel cheetah]

I love these latest soldier studies, the girl in post #122 and the jungle in post #110. Keep it up!

[Onisan]

pixel cheetah Thanks a lot man, hope you like then ext one too!

Here is another quick character with some influences from earlier studies.

[Onisan]

Update! One little cartoony self portrait with my better half and some random head from imagination... I really don't like my portraits at all ... have to work pretty hard and do some more facial studies very very soon

[Onisan]

Another quick sketch!

[in2eternity]

Beautiful SB, keep it up :)

[Onisan]

Thank you in2eternity !

Here is a little Sargent interpretation I'm working on this weekend.

[Slade_Templar]

Really liking everything so far, keep it up.

Looks like you do most of your rendering with a hard round brush and then some textured brushes for your landscapes, would I be correct in my assessment?

[Onisan]

Slade_Templar Thanks man, you are correct. I like working with a hard round standard brush for detailed rendering most of the time but I'm starting to switch between hard and soft or rather trying to do it a little more often. Textures brushes for quick pieces where I need information and detail fast.

[Onisan]

Finished masterpiece interpretation of the edouard and marie-loise pailleron portrait from Sargent.

[Onisan]

Donna Velata study from Raffael

[Onisan]

Here are some anatomy studies based on the video from marshall vandruff.

[witek]

skin rendering on the face(to of the page) is great
keep it up
cheers

[fenixx]

Sweet. I love the use of blues and reds in the character sketch.

The anatomy studies are coming out awesome... its like i can use your sketches for my studies... the forms just pop out. Great studies.

Keep drawing :)

[Onisan]

witek Thanks man! I'm always struggling with faces and there are some errors I always tend to repeat. Hopefully this will change someday

fenixx Glad I could help, there will be some more anatomy soon.. big topic >.<

Here is a new character, maybe I will try to do some perspective views and model her in 3d later.

and one sucky warriorguy...

[Onisan]

Characters, characters and more characters. All kinds of relatively quick doodles.

[Brian.May]

Great images, I really like the old mythology you are using. Have you gone any farther with Susanoo in development? I would really love to see more.

edit: I'm going to have to look through the rest of the thread! I was only on page one when I commented :)

[DeeStar]

always an inspiration. I love the self portrait of you and your partner.

[Onisan]

Brian.May Take your time :) Well I "finished" the topic and moved on. There will surely be something like that again in the near future ^^

DeeStar Yeah thanks man, good to have you back!

Here is a new character concept I finished recently. Took me around 2h. Since I was busy visiting my parents I couldn't do a lot more.. started to read the Figure Drawing book of Andrew Lomis... amazing! There will be more updates this week hopefully.

[Cameli]

MAaaan nice updates!The last one is awesome!Keep posting

[Onisan]

quick zombie update

[witek]

new updates are Ace man!you are better and better
love the colours on zombies piece.
How you get on this goblin effect of some kind of buryness which si making movement impression( i hope its understandable:P)
peace and have fun bro

[fenixx]

Love the black and white character sketches in the last page and also the zombies are cool.

Sweet stuff :) Keep painting.

[iven]

I really like your anatomy studies, not mentioning your new posts here,.....
very good stuff

[Onisan]

thanks guys, oh man I really did not post anything for quite a while!

Here is some stuff I've done more or less 'recently'. Some random commissioned stuff and some doodles. I'm currently working as a concept artist for my first multiplatform title and hopefully I'll be able to flood the sketchbook with the huge amount of new pictures I've already created at some point!

[insanelight]

Hey Markus, those game locations are amazing!
What did you do exactly? the preliminary concept, the modeling, the textures...?
Keep it up!

[Onisan]

Hey Markus, those game locations are amazing!
What did you do exactly? the preliminary concept, the modeling, the textures...?
Keep it up!

Thank you! It's different from picture to picture. The rough 3D perspective foundation of some pictures was done by someone else, the rest was mostly done by me. Mixing in photo reference, painting, adjustments, light setting etc.

[Onisan]

quick sketch I did just now

[Onisan]

Here is some commissioned work I did last year for an upcoming board game from Giant Goblin Games.
As from next month I'll be working at keen games in Germany as concept artist on one of their great projects and I'm already insanely excited about it !!
