I was watching a documentary called "Der taumelnde Kontinent" (the staggering continent) on German television, which was showing how people in spent their final few weeks before the outbreak of WWI.
Even though the storm was already coming, clear for almost anyone to see, still the party went on...until the horrible awakening.
This was the longest work I have ever done. That Picture is also slightly larger in size than what I normally do (the original is A3 size) and it took me almost 9 months to finish (with interruptions, of course). The medium is pencil, as usual, and I decided against the use of any coloring or other digital stuff on this. Just old School paper and pencil.
RIP to all those innoncent people who lost their lives, loved ones, youth or / and sanity during this horrifiying War.]]>ORC'IDEE 2011 by Kateurn:uuid:18de62dd-06a6-f816-f33d-32b42086db2b2011-10-19T20:12:30-07:00"ORC'IDÉE 2011"
A poster I designed for a Swiss RPG Fair called "ORC'IDÉE". This edition was called "The twelve teeth of midnight" (there is a pun between "crocs" = “animal teeth” and "coups"= "clock strikes", --> French is fun, isn't it?) with a lot of horror RPGs...Including vampires, werewolves, witches and...my favorite baddie: Jack the Ripper!

As I do not have enough time anymore to draw during daytime, I started a new picture between 10.00pm - 3.00am and worked every night for a whole week. ^^
I am not a great fan of “The Tudors” Series, as I think that they take too much liberty with historical facts (sorry, there comes the Historian again ^^). But anyway, I am totally in love with the reconstitutions and, above all, with the period dresses *droooool* - I want one of them…hey, wait…I want ALL of them!]]>Lonely by xhannahsoncrackx by unfocusedurn:uuid:a93b07e2-1f4b-7445-0c7a-a23c9a113a672009-12-15T13:22:15-08:00Reference http://xhannahsoncrackx.deviantart.com/art/Lonely-81299572

I'm a huge "OMNIA" fan (a Pagan Folk band from the Netherlands). They have a harpist called Jenny who annoys everybody with her virtuosity.
Well, as I can't play the harp, I tried to draw it. It was my first harp and one of my very few pictures representing real people.]]>Never Looking Back Again by unfocusedurn:uuid:439572d0-2e7b-4cc5-eb0a-59c7945dd6212009-05-03T07:43:05-07:00The reference is a capture from the music video titled Leavin' by Jesse McCartney.

(as always ^^)
These are scenes from two movies adapted from the novels by French author Marcel Pagnol. They were shown in theatre in 1986, and Gérard Depardieu looks incredibly youg there ^^.
If you have the chance to watch them, GO AHEAD! I think that they have never been translated (I’m not sure about it), but subtitles DO exist :-).
Those very sad movies take place in Provence, Southern France, the first one in the 1910s and the sequel some ten years later. The big deal of the story is the eternal lack of water in those very dry areas…and what people are capable of doing to keep a fresh water spring for themselves. Water is worth killing for.]]>Kiss me, Musketeer by Kateurn:uuid:35188201-11d4-6b56-03f2-a9e8d282f1822008-10-22T10:59:13-07:00Finally, a new piece of work…and one of my very few representing real people.

A photograph (poor quality, alas) taken at a show in France was used as reference.

It took me forever to complete but it did win several awards in a couple of art shows...so...I thought some people may enjoy it. Oils on hard canvas board.

I was finally able to restore my old hard drive that crashed a while ago and found some old art. So yeah...it's an oldie...but I thought it was cute. My weak illustration of Spike and Ed. Enjoy!!

Oil painting of Christina Aguilera. The only part finished so far is just her face. I still need to complete her hair, top and background. Oil painting on illustration board.

Just fooling around with shape tweening in Flash. I liked this scene in the video because the wind is wisping her hair around.
Animating wisping hair is difficult. I should learn how to do it good. Because it seems like it would be a beautiful element to an animation.]]>Kari Sweets 01 by unfocusedurn:uuid:b654ef99-273a-7a95-73e7-7e7da8191bc42008-07-09T14:56:22-07:00Pink Series 3: Kari Sweets edition

This is a very sexy scene in that old Laurence Fishburn movie Deep Cover, hence the title.

(In old photograph brownish-yellow style)
*ARGH!* - I am OBSESSED by this movie! And I normally HATE musicals! Now I keep singing all the time (and NO it did NOT start to rain while I was singing!)
Anyway...I finally finished Mrs. Lovett. She is my favourite character in the movie (Sorry to all you Sweeney Fans - He is very cool, too!).
This picture took a little less time than my usual work, because it is quite dark (the black spaces are not so difficult to do ;-)), even if the details on gloves, pies, dress and the London Street in the Background seemed to take forever.
Enjoy!
Oh, and have a Pie *Gives Pie*]]>Sweeney Todd by Kateurn:uuid:a59a1c03-1858-eb8f-ae5b-cd64165299b32008-01-23T13:04:50-08:00Hey, I’m just back from the cinema. “Sweeney Todd” was released only today in Switzerland (you lucky American bastards!!) and I just LOVED this movie! It is dark, really REALLY dark (even for a Burton) and extremely violent…but I love it. I must be mad.
This is the reason why I am really happy that I managed to finish this picture right on time for the Swiss release. It was really awful to draw (the details on tapestry, floor, trousers, etc…) and I am still not happy with the result.
Whatever. I hope you like it anyway. ]]>Elizabeth by Kateurn:uuid:1ac48d0c-9c83-fa00-4f3f-380251e637b82007-11-25T09:15:12-08:00 Well, this might be another of those drawing-phases I have from time to time: Even if I have no more spare time at all, even if I know that I must sleep or eat something, I can’t help drawing and I won’t get to bed or into the kitchen before I have not finished my picture.
I think I need a doc…or a psychiatrist…or both…or neither?
This is a pic I stumbled on as I had a look at the movie posters for upcoming movies in December.
You may have recognized (or at least, I hope you have) Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth, Queen of England.
…I can’t wait to see that movie!!! (loved the first one) ]]>IN MEMORIAM: Tara MacClay by Kateurn:uuid:60d1643d-a2fa-ae58-1cf7-a05dfda6e67e2007-11-15T00:33:38-08:00A new picture for my "IN MEMORIAM" Series. If you do not want to be spoiled, please don't read any further.
It has been a while since my last Buffy picture and this is my first try to draw Tara. She was one of my favourite characters in the series and, of course, she had to die...just like most of my favourite characters do.
...I must be cursed...]]>Optimus Prime (War Within) by KeheiZerourn:uuid:45da37f1-257b-686a-0b21-3c43732b92a22007-09-18T12:34:19-07:00Coloured version of my WW Prime.

Took forever to finish, and I know it's screwed up so don't tell me that. At least I am finally done with it, haven't had much time for it in a while.
Much thanks to the members of Random that helped me on this picture.]]>The Double Act by Kateurn:uuid:f3ab1fc8-2b95-0f19-b861-4918adc282312007-08-25T19:15:08-07:00Normally, I’m not into those Crossover things, but I finally made an exception.
I was more or less “pulled into” a Crossover RPG, where characters from different movies, books and series had to deal with a very hostile environment…and with each other.
This was the first time I noticed how many things the characters of Sirius Black (Harry Potter) and Faith Lehane (Buffy) had in common: difficult childhood, endless battle against their parents, betrayed by a trusted person, locked away and an undeniable darker side.
…They would either rip each other to pieces or become the most rock’n roll double act in Crossover history. ^-^
I would like to believe in the second possibility.]]>Goc by KeheiZerourn:uuid:8e95675b-91a8-ae0e-929c-e048ff56dfce2007-08-14T18:18:45-07:00Goc, one of the sons of Gruul in Blade's Edge Mountains.

Gonna fire it through Photoshop and see how it turns out. hope it takes less time than the Overlord pic did, but I put a bit more detail into this one, so I doubt it. :(
In case you don't recognise the design, this is Optimus Prime from the comic "War Within" which was set on Cybertron before G1. It's become quite popular for fanart because it depicts a lot of the Transformers in Cybertronian modes rather than Earth modes. Grimlock as a tank, for example.]]>Truely by unfocusedurn:uuid:67c183e1-9930-ba9e-17c8-aca131f171a62007-05-07T14:23:15-07:00Pink series

One of the Elven Spellbreakers on the side of the Alliance in Warcraft 3. As the name suggests, they're anti-magic troops. Completely immune to magic, swords designed to cut through weak armour and the ability to hijack control of magically summoned units.
Yes, the legs are a little short. Was supposed to be crouching, but I guess i didn't come out like that. Fixing the robe would have made it work though.]]>
