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!
WO-HOO!]]>Anne by Kateurn:uuid:cc4fad38-7990-5720-9ee0-b4e6b7120c9b2010-02-13T01:55:17-08:00Almost a year without drawing…damn, I need some vacation! 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!]]>Jenny by Kateurn:uuid:bbf921f7-57ab-7d30-0600-39f812a405b02009-10-02T03:29:41-07:00Nothing new - shame, shame…so I decided to upload a picture I did last year.
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.]]>Jean De Florette / Manon des Sources (1986) by Kateurn:uuid:f4983b84-5006-c06a-98ce-705e1a15c3702009-02-10T13:20:09-08:00Well, there is something new, a picture that took forever to finish. (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. He is my fencing teacher, she (his wife) is a professional ballet dancer who also does fencing.
A photograph (poor quality, alas) taken at a show in France was used as reference.
Enjoy ^^]]>Cardinal in Holly by TerryXarturn:uuid:60c9cb1f-3970-2bf5-dd79-ec8c519241092008-09-09T15:37:00-07:00Eh...there is probably not much interest in this type of art here but I recently restored my old hard drive that crashed a while ago and found this oil painting I did of a Cardinal in a Holly Bush. 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. Original size is 12 x 9.]]>Cowboy Bebop Halloween Again.. by TerryXarturn:uuid:9f578d58-ed07-7f1d-a1d4-4685bbeb4b842008-09-09T15:25:12-07:00Hey there! 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!!
edit add: if anyone wants to take a crack at coloring this, I would be honored. Just let me know and I will send a high quality download!]]>Christina Aguilera WIP by TerryXarturn:uuid:41b01c21-c805-15a7-87b6-31ab4e85527a2008-09-01T16:51:30-07:00My current project. 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. Drawn first in pencil, sealed, acrylic paint base with finished oils on top. Hair, top & background are just base acrylic right now. I will finish these areas with detailed oils.]]>Mrs Lovett by Kateurn:uuid:ba8bf8ee-f937-941c-c68e-98b43e5deed52008-02-16T11:38:34-08:00Mrs Lovett! (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. ]]>Hugh Laurie by sasurn:uuid:faabc270-447e-6e32-f9ed-623a445836ad2008-01-02T02:26:31-08:00ugh I just can't stop drawing this man! he's so much fun
and the shirt he's wearing.... I have it a friend gave it to me
this took me about 6 hours I'm surprised because normally it takes me longer. just like my scarlettdrawing I finished earlier, that didn't took me that long either, but that's good
also a4 format

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...]]>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.]]>Hayden Panettiere by sasurn:uuid:e745faf3-6889-32e7-caef-a67fddb93f222007-08-18T01:22:59-07:00Hayden Panettiere from Heroes :D]]>Jack Sparrow by sasurn:uuid:64d49bec-063b-63e9-162b-71dc98a934fb2007-08-05T01:46:04-07:00Captain Jack Sparrow ! :D]]>Hugh Laurie 2 by sasurn:uuid:3ffc58e7-493f-04d1-586d-43489e6722c32007-06-29T11:21:56-07:00House again I know :D sorry :)

I can’t stop drawing! What’s wrong with me???
Well, as I just finished this picture, I HAD to share it with you.
This is part of my old “IN MEMORIAM” series, dedicated to all those great movie, series, or book characters who where killed off much too soon and left their fans broken-hearted (Yes, I realize that they are “not real”, but I don’t want to talk about it…)
This is a character you might not know it you have never seen the “Highlander” Series but, as Fitz is one of my favourites, I finally drew him…
The picture is dedicated to Hugh Fitzcairn (played by Roger Daltrey), the craziest, most sympathetic and funniest Englishman who ever held a sword.
(Top: Fitz during the early 1600s, bottom: Fitz (with Duncan on the left) before a golf match in 1750)]]>Dark and Difficult Times lie ahead, Harry. by Kateurn:uuid:ab5187f7-60e7-45fb-94b1-9f3edd4765962006-11-22T10:35:25-08:00AT LAST!
I thought that this picture would NEVER be finished! The pic was made for a Harry Potter Fanart contest, and even if the results are not published yet, it was fun to draw it…
From top to bottom, from left to right: The Trio (Harry, Hermione, Ron), Sirius Black, Harry & Hermione from P.o.A. and Fleur Delacour.
EDIT: Contest resluts are on (if someone is interested): SECOND PLACE! *PRECIOUS!!!*[/b][/color]]]>Hsiao-ning by sasurn:uuid:e8576354-7bae-e19f-869f-5071ef8b41732006-11-12T02:16:28-08:00Hsiao-ning at Monkey World in Dorset. :D she's so sweet :P my favourite LOL]]>Johnny Depp by sasurn:uuid:e735890b-4c1c-df31-1bbf-44542c84d5f32006-11-01T05:52:49-08:00Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow.

Well…it has been a while since I have tried to do a Buffy pic…almost 5 years, I think.
While tidying up my room, I lately stumbled over my old Buffy tapes…and couldn’t help watching them again. This picture is a shot from the episode “The Body” , which was particularly terrible. The expression on her face when she *SPOILER* enters her house and sees her mum lying dead on the couch…it just struck me.
Well…I hope the picture is worthy of this memorable series.]]>Collage: Sirius Black by Kateurn:uuid:7f4ec1dd-5d8b-9d41-e92b-c18003ae560f2006-05-12T12:53:37-07:00Well...I'm still not getting over my Sirius Black veneration and I am therefore drawing little doodles of him all the time.<br />

Finally, I have decided to put some of them into a collage.<br />

This was just a very quick sketch I did of Spike from Cowboy Bebop. I was going to bring it to a complete finished drawing but I liked the rough sketchy feel of the drawing and decided to leave it as is. Enjoy!]]>John Lennon by TerryXarturn:uuid:ecac8020-aa93-faae-f7c2-b7fa712981b52005-12-10T09:35:20-08:00Hi Folks! Since this week was the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death, I thought I would post a drawing I did of him a few years ago. John was and still is very special to me and I still remember the day he died like it was yesterday. Many of the young people here probably weren't even born yet but believe me it was as big as the day John Kennedy was killed. It was a horrible day and I still cry every time I think about it. The reference for this drawing was a screen cap from the movie A Hard Day's Night. It was completed with Derwent soft graphite pencils ranging from 2b to 8b on heavy weight medium textured Strathmore paper. Once again my scanner tends to read the texture of the paper more than the subtle shading so it looks a little rough but I think you get an idea of the drawing. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will be happy to answer! Thanks for reading!]]>Josh Holloway by sasurn:uuid:1472ee48-488e-1086-611b-850a68416f242005-11-28T10:58:45-08:00YEAAAAAAHHHHH I love lost!!! It's the best!!! <br />

I thought since Thanksgiving is around the corner it would be fun to post it. The drawing was done in pencil with color added from PhotoShop. Just a quick fun drawing for Thanksgiving with my favorite Cowboy Bebop characters.

This is a portrait of Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully from The X-Files I did a few years ago. Drawing was done with Derwent graphite pencils ranging from 2b to 8b on medium texture Strathmore drawing paper. Unfortunately, my scanner seems to read the texture more than the subtle shading so it looks a little rough with some shading lost. But I think you get a general idea of the drawing. Feel free to ask any questions and enjoy!]]>Fox Mulder, FBI by TerryXarturn:uuid:0161b5de-95d8-518b-cec1-9dc2ddc45f7e2005-11-18T09:25:01-08:00Hi everyone!

<br />
I'm really happy with the result!! I wanted this one to be perfect, and for now I think I'm close... <br />
most of you seen Liv Tyler finished in WIP 7.. but now I finished the pillow and the background!! I like the pillow, background is not very special, it was something like this in the picture, maybe something different.. but that doesn't matter. I make some things darker in the drawing, and also scanned it darker, so it looks better now! <br />
hope you like it!! <br />

I'm not big into yaoi but I received a request (and some money, yea!) to illustrate someone's Cowboy Bebop fan fic. This is a preliminary sketch I presented to her and she liked it. So next I have to ink & color and finish the background (right now it's just a VERY rough draft) I threw some mood lighting in with photoshop for now. But I wanted to get some feedback here to see if I should really continue with this piece. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of this genre so it's hard for me to draw. Of course, this is very tame compared to what I've seen *shudders*. Any comments or constructive criticism is welcomed. Thanks for looking. Hope I didn't gross anyone out! LOL!! I also have another pic for the same fan fic coming shortly. You've been warned!! LOL!!]]>
