Commissions - PatrikM13

Road of Life - PatrikM13 by existtraiesc on deviantART

This was a commission done for PatrikM13.
His concept was about a person walking down the road of life and reaching a cross road where he will have to choose between a dark path with crazy dreams and an enlightened, educated future. His choice can be seen in the work.


Road of Life (Sktetch) - PatrikM13 by existtraiesc on deviantART

This was the first sketch of Road of Life. The left side had to be turned darker and i removed the sun coin along with the light as well as the gold bars. To give a better idea of the right side, i gave the characters there student hats to show their education nature.

Descriptions were a bit vague but he wanted a mysterious man that is capable of various things. I ended up making him look a bit like an assassin but he liked it.

Comissions - Julie van Mierlo

Here are two commissions i've done for Julie van Mierlo , a Wacom Europe employee.

This is a cartoonish/charicature portrait of her done in Adobe Photoshop.

 Although the commission was free and although there was no deadline, i felt i've been a bit late with finishing the main commission so i threw in a bonus of doodles and sketches i was playing around with in order to get used with her cartoon - like design.

It is incredible how months of work have resulted only in a 2 minute video. I am thankful for the result, i would like to thank Robin Gerndt & Dan Harvey for their help and finally i am grateful for being nominated for Glammies. Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for watching!

Moth - Colored Backgrounds

The backgrounds for my animated short are finally finished with the great help of Dan Harvey . After some revision and choosing the color pallets carefully, we decided to leave watercolor effects out and focus on a more chalky style.
Here are the results.

Background Test

I am almost finished with my backgrounds. I decided to add a chalky look to them. The character stands out fine. Wondering if i should put an overlay on the character as well, to make his own colors look chalky or watercolory as well.
