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!]]>Britney by punkaddicturn:uuid:ef52c596-0e39-92d0-81ea-4487394b3e0f2009-11-24T12:40:27-08:00This is a painting of Britney Spears:)]]>Elisha Cuthbert by punkaddicturn:uuid:74494ae1-da84-5c66-cdbb-28009d53af292009-11-24T12:35:22-08:00This is a portrait of Elisha Cuthbert.

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.]]>Kate Moss by Beautiful_Painurn:uuid:4c50b47c-6247-8703-4df5-247983c313632009-03-08T06:44:46-07:00Love this image of Kate Moss, and had nothing to do last night, so I drew it :) Hope you like!]]>Liv Tyler by Beautiful_Painurn:uuid:7ee408f3-82c4-82dc-d55e-7057040242e82009-03-08T06:44:45-07:00Liv Tyler is stunning, and very talented.

Really unique!]]>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!]]>Daniel Radcliffe by Beautiful_Painurn:uuid:bc981ae5-6fa1-8f40-5b9f-8129c84387c12008-09-04T01:31:09-07:00Dan's latest newsletter Picture ! :) Had to draw it!

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.]]>Daniel Radcliffe by Beautiful_Painurn:uuid:cbb5306a-3a97-a9fb-9254-2e19ac8bf3252008-05-11T07:47:11-07:00I've always loved Dan's cover of details magazine :)
I drew it outside on a sunny day :) I love sunny days!
Used a bit of graphite too...]]>Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter by Beautiful_Painurn:uuid:36db14b8-348d-6c63-0a71-5d61dbbdeae72008-04-04T14:15:45-07:00I decided to experiment with coloured pencils, and I was quite pleased with the results :)]]>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. ]]>Lily Allen by Beautiful_Painurn:uuid:ca94c267-7723-fd9c-f8aa-545cf97e1bed2008-01-12T13:09:45-08:00I adore her music and in the current Marie Claire mag there's a gorgeous photoshoot with her.

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.]]>IN MEMORIAM - Hugh Fitzcairn by Kateurn:uuid:276335cf-da9e-92dd-4240-b230d45f79502006-11-23T10:18:39-08:00HELP!
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]]]>Fleur Delacour by Kateurn:uuid:c03bb1b3-a65e-ae67-c0f3-e6bdadf057c92006-06-09T00:33:08-07:00Even though I have my examinations this moth, I cannot help drawing during the night, instead of going to sleep…how bad is it, doctor? I don’t know if YOU like Fleur Delacour, but well…I do.[/b]

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