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 ^^]]>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. ]]>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...]]>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]
]]>Buffy by Kateurn:uuid:bff8d2d3-c30d-a0aa-5aec-534699c5d0ff2006-05-26T14:04:01-07:00
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 />
Enjoy.]]>IN MEMORIAM: Padme/Amidala by Kateurn:uuid:d626d14d-eea0-2b35-8c84-e614de3bb5442005-07-21T04:14:38-07:00Second picture of my "IN MEMORIAM" Series - with special dedicace to all "STAR WARS" fans....]]>IN MEMORIAM - Qui Gon Jinn by Kateurn:uuid:251726ba-45eb-32b8-4555-0c1e71bd73062005-07-06T13:15:07-07:00Finally Finished!!!<br />
<br />
This is the first picture of my "IN MEMORIAM" series, dedicated to all those amazing characters who rocked our world and faded away all too quickly.<br />
<br />
I'm not a big "Star Wars" Fan, but I have to admit that I liked the first movie, especially Qui-Gon. And...YES, I cried when he died!<br />
<br />
This picture is dedicated to all "Star Wars" Fans. Thank you.]]>Mathilde et Rouvière by Kateurn:uuid:bdbce4ae-5d2a-c437-3ae5-c99cdd19298c2005-01-15T05:22:15-08:00A scene from the French movie “Un long Dimanche de Fiançailles” (A very long Engagement). I went to see this film with my mother and made this drawing for her afterwards.<br />
<br />
This pic was Hell – one of the most difficult ones I have made so far. DETAILS everywhere on Mathilde’s clothes, on her Wheelchair, in the backgroud...it KILLED my pencil – and my nerves.]]>April Weather by Kateurn:uuid:0125c42b-e154-7fd2-3f44-50340fae280f2004-10-10T14:01:36-07:00Well…I can’t believe I’m actually doing this.
I will now close my eyes and just click the “upload” button…
This picture is dedicated to all the people around here commenting on my stuff with things like “I wish I could draw like that”/ “I will never be able to draw like that”/ “My stuff is total crap compared to this”, etc…
I drew this picture when I was 14 years old…yes I MEAN 14! -> See what I mean?
You are ALWAYS able to improve…
JUST DRAW ON!!!
To all the nice people on this site – with all my recognition.
Kate.]]>Fee by Kateurn:uuid:97cd03e8-62a7-a1fb-da53-c3da145f80cc2004-10-07T10:00:37-07:00Portrait of a Fairy - done for a friend of mine. *Hugs her*]]>Guess who... by Kateurn:uuid:23973fe3-f9c5-04f2-0690-83a370804ef22004-09-03T12:44:21-07:00* Bella couldn't help thinking that someone was watching her. A person who was definitely not Rodolphus. Suddenly she felt a hand, cold as ice, touching her hair and the well-known voice of her cursed cousin whispering: "Hello Bella. Guess who's back?" *<br />
<br />
That picture has been buzzing through my had for a while and finally I sat down and took the time to draw it. <br />
It has been a while since I have used coloured pencils for the last time, but the Black/White version didn't look good to me (especially the ghost!). <br />
Then...well...then I coloured it and I was quite happy with how it turned out. But this was without counting on that nasty Scanner, who literally KILLED the picture! The colours are horrible and every ounce of detail has been wiped out. <br />
<br />
I hate my scanner...oh, how I hate it...]]>Vampire by Kateurn:uuid:d1d8ee80-ad0a-065d-d79b-993f879e617f2004-08-06T12:03:36-07:00*ARGH* - I hate Vampires! But anyway...this is Lady Marguerite La Noire, a friend's WOD character...who KILLED my Vampire Hunter, by the way...]]>Precious! by Kateurn:uuid:6da6a269-f6fb-b146-4088-b4f3161c5f182004-07-09T14:18:24-07:00I' have just finished it today! *drops*<br />
<br />
This picture was done as an art trade with Marie, who has done a very cool Sarumane for me ^^.<br />
<br />
Well...nothing more to say about the picture itself...exept: HOBBITS RULE!]]>Sorrow by Kateurn:uuid:07e198c7-69f5-a0b9-3bab-ddfcd9599ca02004-07-05T13:31:09-07:00Well...I confess that I am a Sirius Black Fan (as you can see ^^)<br />

<br />
Oh well, who cares...HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone, keep on drawing!]]>Eowyn by Kateurn:uuid:89a10643-9fa6-bc1f-99f5-f1b44ef853b32003-12-26T05:01:02-08:00Oh, how I LIKE Eowyn!<br />
