Claire is putting her clothes on #2

Last post before Christmas.
Happy Christmas ya all!!

Claire is putting her clothes on #1

This time I inkt directly from the thumbnail which is about 10 x 5 cm to 29,7 × 42 cm at 300 dpi. Pretty satisfied with the outcome, might to check her waisline out before I'm going to do the background and painting.

Witch Cat sketches!

At last, I have holiday season! Which means I can finally do personal work, want to get back to my Witch Cat project and other things. Here are some work in progresses:

I hope this is the final design for the Evil Queen of Oparaha. Her pose is referenced from a pin up model.


A quick overpaint from the original. I dig the rough shadow casting.
I have a name since the second chapter of Witch Cat for the Evil Queen but I made a mistake in the editing proces. It should be "Malissa" which means honey bee which might have a suggestive link to the saying "The flowers and the bees" which her personality reflects. Also it's a pun on malice which has a connection for being evil and stuff.



I was thinking the other day to make 11 × 16 prints of Witch Cat to sell at conventions. This is one of them, Claire putting on her outfit in the morning. I really liked how the thumbnail came out, but after working more in to it, I'm not satisfied with the results. Will use references from now on, since I'm very rusty. The 'X' parts are obvious anatomical errors, although the whole piece might be completely redone.


The colour pallette should give an early morning impression. Will be redone.

Character colour designs for new comic idea

Long time no update... I'm too busy with school to work on personal drawings and comics this year.

I have an idea for a comic next to Witch Cat since last summer and here is one of the character designs. Some people might recognize the character from an illustration of mine before.

The designs are undecided at this time.

Stripdagen Houten 2009: Report

So last Saturday I went to this comic event in the Netherlands and joined the Mangafique group to sell and draw there. I got the impression it was awfully quite around our stand. Did'nt sell much like earlier years, but I guess that's also because I haven't anything new to sell.

All with all, I left with a bitter taste. I will attend these kind of events again when I have more things to sell and to promote. I drew only a couple of sketches there, here they are:

Claire taking a bath and scared waitresses!
A little warming up, two emotionless heads of both genders.
Experimental; a dumb and fruity portrait of Ruan.

Stripdagen Houten: Saturday 26 September 2009

Next week on Saturday I will attending Stripdagen (Comic days) in Houten the Netherlands! However, nothing new to sell. I just want to attend because I was absent last year and I wanted to show I'm NOT dead. As for being a dealer, I like to walk around the area trying to network a bit (I'm really terrible at this!) and perhapes buying some comic books.
