Dave

I am currently reading Michael Crighton's Next and yesterday I suddenly felt like making some fan-art. So here's Dave - half-man, half-monkey, Dave's some sort of a transgenetic species. (Or whichever the right term may be.) I drew him like 10 years older than he appears in the book cuz I wanted to see how would he look like as a teenager...

Here's the front side of a packing I designed for a friend like five years ago. He was planning to sell protective hologram stickers for cell phones and he needed some sort of a picture mount where the stuff had to be attached to. The phone was entirely drawn with the lasso tool in Photoshop 6, so don't be too harsh on me - it was my first try as a wannabe designer...

By the way, did you know that all Chameleons are able to change their skin color not only as an expression of their physical and physiological condition, but also as a method of communication, including to make themselves more attractive to potential mates. They have specialized cells, collectively called chromatophores, that lie in layers under their transparent outer skin.

The cells in the upper layer, called xanthophores and erythrophores, contain yellow and red pigments respectively. Below these is another layer of cells called iridophores or guanophores, and they contain the colourless crystalline substance guanine. These reflect, among others, the blue part of incident light. If the upper layer of chromatophores appears mainly yellow, the reflected light becomes green (blue plus yellow). A layer of dark melanin containing melanophores is situated even deeper under the reflective iridophores. The melanophores influence the 'lightness' of the reflected light. All these pigment cells can rapidly relocate their pigments, thereby influencing the colour of the chameleon...

Anyway, I typed this only to fill out the gap to the right of the image. =P

Bedtime Story

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop
Into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like "I love you".

I can see it in your eyes
You still despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true and
Never seemed so right before.

I practice every day
To find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait
Until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and
Oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like "I love you".

Back to the Super

To set up the stage for the live-action sequences of my short animation that I already presented in the three previous posts, I had to provide a considerable amount of drawn pages. Each page had to feature a different type of superhero concept with the parody being the unifying element in all of them.

Eventually, I ended up with a helluva lot of characters. Some of them will be able to make their way to the screen and obtain their 15 ... seconds of fame. But others, lots of others won't be that lucky. Here's why I decided to clean up and color a couple of my favorite sketches and put them in the spotlight through Blogger. I hope you like 'em...

ICS Preview - Part Two

Okay, here's the teaser poster for my forementioned animated short. But don't get too excited about it! The plane, the bats, the angry tribesmen, the dirigeable, the Paris sequence and the sacred ruins, were all discarded due to low budget restrictions...

Oh, and the title got changed too. But it's only a teaser after all...

ICS Preview - Part One

Meet Uli. He plays the leading part in my latest short animation called I Can See. The less-than-three-minute-long flick is inspired by Johnny Nash's greatest hit "I Can See Clearly Now" and tells the story of a drawing trying to escape from its creator.
