Oh, forgot one thing about how I work!!! MUSIC! Usually I'll listen to good ol' Punk like Bad Religion, or I'll have some chilly lounge music playin depending on the mood I'm in, and the tone the image itself should have. Yeah, I know, strange mix of music, I know. But hey, I don't like to attach myself to just ONE type of music!

Hey, thanks to everyone again on all the great comments! Glad people enjoy my work. I got some questions about how I do my work so here's a short description:

1. Many times I'll draft down a rough sketch on paper, in pencil
2. I'll copy this sketch onto transparent paper using a light blue pencil
3. Go over the blue sketch with pen (no shading done here, just the basic outline)
4. Scan Into Photoshop, then import to Illustrator
5. Form here I re-do the entire image in Illustrator using and manipulating the line (or basic pen) tool. About half the time I'll start my images here to begin with, this means no sketching or anything!
6. Form here on it's just a mass of layers in illustrator representing all the elements in the images (Outline, Clothes layer, detail layer, skin layer, shade layer and so fourth).
7. If I desire an airbrush look I'll import the file into Photoshop and touch up here. I mainly however prefer the vector / cel-shaded look to my images most of the time so Photoshop isn't required.
8. Cut image to desired size in Photoshop, downsample as Raster-File and done.

That's it. All in all, an illustration will take me about a days time, usually just one night (I will however be working ALL night then on severe overdose of coffee )
I don't trace existing photos or anything of that sort, and no vectorizing images. All my works are self created works and poses.

Well, hope that answers some questions? Till next time people!

Is there anybody out there? Well, I'm a designer in Germany, grew up in California and Arizona however! I tend to mix my American styles with European ones for a different sort of feel and look to the work. I've worked for various agencies, and am currently thinking about starting up my own thing depending on how things go. I like to plan ahead, but not too far because the never really know where things will take you.
My work is inspired by many things, music and people foremost. Can't work without music, always have headphones with me at the office. Can't think of anything else right now to write, just signed up today so I'll catch up soon!
