Sketchbook Pro

So I decided to try out SketchBook Pro, and I really like it!
This is a sketch I made, tomorrow I will try it some more.

Street sketch

A fun sketch I did off of a photo. I find this stuff very meditating to do so you can expect a lot more of it!

Also you can expect a facebook page very soon of my art! I'll give an update about that soon.

soldier photobash thingy

Something I did for school. Still like it!

Viking girl

A speedpaint with some post process details. I want to add some more details though soon.

Schoolwork!

With all the schoolwork and a final project in the make I have very little time for paintings.
I am working on some stuff though; this painting inspired by traditional paintings is one of my favorites at the moment, and I hope to finish it next week.

I scanned in a drawing I did some time ago, and painted over it digitally.

Traditional artwork

The last few weeks I also have done a lot of traditional art. Mostly concepts and studies.

Sorry for the long absence!

I really needed some time off, so I did absolutely nothing but relaxing this week.

I háve made quiet some work though, so I'll upload a bunch right now.

Starting off with this environment. It's been some time ago since I've made a scene.

Initial sketch:

Another portrait

Really love this one. The hair and the clothes could be rendered better though. Those are defiantly things to focus on in my next piece.

Exploring techniques

I tried to use some new techniques. The main technique is called ambient occlusion. It took me about 5 tries to get to a ok result. I got some great feedback on this piece that I'm applying right now on a new painting.

ingame art

Some ingame assets collected for a school presentation

Project 'Brave'

A fun project I am working on currently. This is about 3 hours in. I am planning on adding another 5 hours or so, depending on how much it needs. It's also recorded, so I will make it into a fun timelapse on Youtube!

Another hour with given feedback added:

Fun matte sketch.

Used some photo's from Kiev given by someone.

Fun practice sketch

Value practice

A WIP of a value practice I am doing today. I feel like creating a better design then this, so I'll probably start a new one.

Few 1 hour sketches

Nothing fancy, and a lot of mistakes. But I had a lot of fun doing them.

Kinda had an artblock, and was realy busy so I

wasn't able to upload anything lately. I'll catch up real soon!

This one is actually my school. It started of as a joke, but the lighting came out better then expected.

Realism: photo study I

I am doing a few photo studies that I want to make photo-real. This way I hope to advance a lot in texturing and refining my paintings.

Another one is in the make, and with video timelapse!

Valentines day

No worries about being alone this Valentines day!

I've got the perfect girl for you right here ;)

I hadn't drawn a pretty girl since forever. No specific reason and by accident right before Valentines day.

I had a lot of fun painting her.

the Enforcer

A zero-tolerance robot enforcer. Property of the government even though his actions aren't quiet legitimate.

Website!

I produced a lot more horizontal paintings lately, so my website's layout didn't really work anymore.

So I worked on a new design!

sanderagelink.com

Keep in mind that it's brand new and it will get a lot more content, and the layout will also improve overtime.
It's very fuctional, more than it's pretty for now.

check it out!

Last week of this semester

I am unable to find any time to make some paintings. So for now a small sketch. I hope to find some spare time within a week.

Chubu's Thunder Catcher

Chubu's (中部電力)Thunder Catcher- A fun low-tech future car used to catch thunder to convert to electricity for your home.
Chubu is a large Japanese electricity provider.

A tigers spirit

Had fun with this one. Started as a speed-paint - study of a tiger. Added some elements like the fire and snow. Maybe I'll detail it later, it's still kind of rough.

Another WIP, full body 3d character

By now I've finished the unwrap, and I am working on the diffuse. For now this turntabel.

Couple months old, but still decent enough.

From thumbnails to refinement to variation. It was a redo of my assignment for the course of Charlie Bowater, a fantastic artist. I kind of messed up the original assignment by over-promising and failed to meet the standard I was hoping for. I did this because I hate to leave mistakes for what they are, and I think this one came out well.
