I wanted be able to draw on my travels and I liked how some Artists like Marco Bucci go outside and draw with watercolors. They always end up with those bright images which I liked.Also I decided to send out those images as christmas cards.Check them out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/d.thiele.hh/ Here are some of them: Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13784784297350976476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59445959579835553.post-30502519310151711632021-04-11T16:32:00.003+02:002021-04-11T16:32:55.800+02:00It has been a whileI relocated twice, got fulltime jobs and therefore marketing and all that online persona stuff got less important.But here is something I worked on during the pandemic that I am quit happy with.

Many of my clients (long term) who are in the gaming field ask me for effects. So here are some handcrafted effects for you.
The game these are made for is called Edge Adversaries and it is a Beat Em Up with antropomorphoids fighting each other in a somewhat futuristic world I believe.. The style is Anime like and I think the Developer is still working on that.

Do you have to do tests as often as I do? I have to do it all the time even as a freelancer and often times I don't do it because it does not seem to be worth it.

After long conciderations I started a page for all things related my job at the SAE Institute.
Since I do all this in my free time and payment for my lectures does not involve anything related to preparation or feedback or mentoring here is a page for all the students who are interested into learning and practicing for free. :)

I have been working for this client for a long time and they said it is cool that I can post artworks online. It shows that I like my work. So this is a selection of Illustrations and Concept Art. The Hargo pic is based on a line drawing from another artist. Notice the different styles and settings which are intended.

The Truthful Phone is based by a Terry Jones (Monty

The Truthful Phone is a dark comedy about nasty pensioner Mae Morris; local busybody, pet kidnapper, husband killer.

Here is a video about the basics of rendering. It is the practical approach to the theory we have in an earlier semester at the SAE Institute.

This video is the first one of at least a three part series about perspective.
Most artists I know don't know the half of it and I probably do not show all of it to my students due to time restrictions but I think it is awesome what you can do with it. Feel free to follow along. :DDanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13784784297350976476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59445959579835553.post-12783787390471145962015-11-20T11:27:00.001+01:002015-11-20T11:27:46.513+01:00New videos - From Black and White to Coloring Sketches
Much more to come. I will hopefully do some more videos about the basics like perspective and material studies. There is a lot of stuff that I cannot publish online because the anatomy demo is based on another course and I don't want to get into copyright issues. If you have any feedback let me know.

The Game is called Failure. The Art Test was a win. They loved it but it turned out they couldn't afford me. Lesson learned. Next time get down to the money first and do the art test later.
The next thing is a background for a landing page from a publisher called United States Publishing.
And last but not least I am now allowed to publish my artwork from a longterm client named Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13784784297350976476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59445959579835553.post-35806295215465751432015-07-30T14:38:00.003+02:002015-08-02T21:40:44.895+02:00Client Update - Digital Corkboard Studio - Xenocide Academy

Soon it will be pitched and demonstrated at the GDC in Cologne.

Here is how I work. This is a 2 part video. Long and super high res. I use it for my students at the SAE where I play it and talk over it. I use VLC player where I can change the speed of the playback. For more info on images I used and what it's made for see this post http://danielthiele.blogspot.de/2015/07/overstep-game.html

They comissioned me to make the win and loose screens for their game this time.
I especially like the zombie win screen.
Since you are controlling the zombies this is the win screen showing the heroes being overrun by the zombies. They are the specific characters from the game. You can see it even better on the other screen where I incorporated the 3D models and painted over them looks funnyDanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13784784297350976476noreply@blogger.com
