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!]]>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.]]>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.]]>Chloe by olgiurn:uuid:4ac66d03-02fe-3217-31c2-db5df0e789eb2008-12-02T13:00:15-08:00regular pencils.

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.

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. Drawn first in pencil, sealed, acrylic paint base with finished oils on top. Hair, top & background are just base acrylic right now.

*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!

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

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.

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 used a 16-inch ball jointed resin doll. I completely removed factory facial painting as well as the attached original wig and hand painted it to the loosely resemble the likeness of the stunning Angelina Jolie. Here, the repainted doll is shown wearing a new wig I attached.
Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.
-- acrylic paint and ultra fine brushes

I completely removed factory facial painting and hand painted it to the likeness of the alluring Uma Thurman, as she looked in a recent issue of InStyle magazine Also, the doll's hair started out very curly so I had to cut, perm and restyle it.
The photo of Uma Thurman on the left was used as reference for the repaint.

Tonner doll co. released its 17 inch Capt. Jack Sparrow figure recently. And although it was a wonderful recreation of Jack Sparrow, I felt it needed to be more authentic in terms of hairstyling and resemblance to Johnny Depp. So I removed all factory facial paint and completely repainted the doll to more closely resemble Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack. Also, the original hair started out just being plain with a little bit of wave and braids to it. So, I reworked it and created the dreadlocks just like the real character's. Also the hair ornaments were repositioned to look more accurate.

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 drew 80% of that pic with my LEFT hand! :D
I'm right handed by the way but in the moment i got a carpal tunnel syndrome but still couldn't wait to draw again.

I'm still not used to work with left.
To the pic content: It's a comission for a friend who loves maids. He wanted a maid pic for his front door (yeah it's silly, hope he reads it), it's so silly so i drew it like the maid opens the door. That's silly from me too, but who cares

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.

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.

another picture i drew today cause i was too lazy for my diploma. It's a shame. i started with the poster in the back ( that was the original image ), then i turned in a commercial wallpaper.
then i thought a guitar man would be funny and so on. . .

i have no idea what i was thinking while drawing, i was in the middle of

drawing a "maiko" please.
So i started drawing this to make her happy!
Well i was just drawing, so there robots and gangsters and Skyscrapers
in the back first. But when it turned 2:00 in the morning i just drew anything
to finish, sorry! hope that's okay]]>
