Sunset flying with Claire - Wallpaper

Finally finished! Took me long enough, my PC crashed too often when I was painting this so it slowed the process down. I'm happy it got finally finished. This is a wallpaper in 1600x1200 format for you're desktop pleasure.

Flying over a floor of clouds: Work in progress 1

The background has more contrast and value now thanks from the advice of A la Bapsi from Conceptart and I have started to cell shade to get an idea where to paint. Although I have a dilemma keeping it cellshaded or to paint which will take much longer.

Flying over a floor of clouds: Background

It's not really a floor of clouds which I intended first, but I wanted to experiment with loose clouds as a background then just a floor in the end. The illustration is nicely coming along for sure. Background might get some tweaking though.

Event report: Stripdagen Haarlem

So, how did my last event go? Here is a short discription:
It was a sunny Sunday and the crowd was pretty huge; from diehard comic collectors to your avarage person (you know what I mean, Vincit...). I went there around 11:00 till 16:30 though it started at 10:00. At first I did'nt attract that much visitors, but around 13:00 I finally got some attention and sold a few booklets to people.

There was also a guy that asked me for a drawing. The subject was to draw your own comic character relating to your favourite movie. And thus, Claire in a Darth Vader suit was born. At those moments, you should'nt think about subjects too much, the person does not want to wait for ever. I had a hard time of thinking and getting things done, since I'm having a field of anxiety around me with so many people around me. Luckily he was really happy with the drawing afterwards.

I did not go trough the whole event, because I was in a hurry when I left. It was a nice experience that I should do more often. Hopefully I can get a stand at a Anime Convention cominc in September, untill then!

Event anouncement: Stripdagen Haarlem

Coming Sunday, the 8th June In Haarlem the Netherlands. I will be there as a dealer selling my booklets and this poster. Probably the whole day if things go well, I'm looking at the weather that is. It's an outside location on a market street. Sounds fun but I don't want to think about rain or storm either. That would be a worse case scenario (next to selling nothing, haha).
