The last addition is a large muscular brute (tho he will most likely receive a fairly gentle character) tadaa: Offcourse A brute is just a large man without something heavy to hit with, 2 heavy metal balls on a chain, seemed ... http://www.tolteks.be/?p=134 I finished the first character (finished is a big word, I completed the concept, the character is far from finished) The second character concept is also done: and same for the third one: So far I have 3 female characters, all I'm missing is their male counterpart to complete the bunch. I hope to ... http://www.tolteks.be/?p=130 The last few days, I've started on some concept scetching. I got some nice pointers from the Idrawgirls blog.

Also I now post my pictures using flickr, so no clicking before you can see ... http://www.tolteks.be/?p=119 I have worked with the Wacom Cintiq some hours now, and the results are already showing. my first full digital drawing still has some proportional flaws, however it was a nice first try. Drawing 1 Last week I went for a more "mobile" drawing of a ninja, aside from a few slight flaws, ... http://www.tolteks.be/?p=110 When I posted my "attempts at artwork" collection on facebook, I was asked if I felt like designing a logo, by one of our local dj's (brake failure) I agreed to try it, not really knowing what I got myself into, especially since I had never really designed a logo before. I ... http://www.tolteks.be/?p=105 Or how I named the photo album containing my artwork. I always had a huge interest in drawing painting, sadly I never really got deeper into it. These days at the helpdesk, during calls I scribble anyhow so from time to time I also draw a few lines.
