Drawing on cards
Cards from a game called magic the gathering. This is called altering cards, I never tried it before but it was fun :) I used miniature modelling water based colours (for warhammer or others like it)

Hipster time
As the title implies I'm a hipster today. Drawing in photoshop is too mainstream, good ol' paint is the shit. I made a tutorial too on how i went along. Just for fun, I should really be studying for a test tomorrow but who cares.
First I did a normal sketch:
In paint there's no opacity, if you draw it will cover EVERYTHING.
Start filling in details once the foundation paint is done.
Lastly, I just did more details and some highlights.
And voilá hipster picture done :) Who need photoshop?

Introversion
Hey guys.
I've been thinking quite a lot about the concept of beeing "introvert", meaning someone who is thinking rather than speaking, someone who's percieved as shy or drawn back.
Better explained here:
Beeing shy and introverted are two enirely different things though, also nobody is either only introverted or extroverted. We are all somewhere in the middle of the specrum, just more or less towards either side of it.
More on the subject:
That beeing said, after I saw these videos I immideately identified myself as more of an "introvert".
My entire life I've been the "silent type" (that's what teachers said althrough elementary school atlest).
I have oppinions in all different matters but I just don't feel I have the need to express them. I know what I think and respect what others think. I don't want to convince someone something, that's for politicians. I like to listen though and develope myself, getting more all around educated and think broader. Yet again I just don't have the need to tell others what to think and the concept of arguing is to me pointless. For this I've been called "shy" and "drawn back".
Society today is built around extroverts and we need to be outgoing and "sell" ourselves in orders to get a job or a place in a community. All job applications I've applied for last years have the demand for "social skills". Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-social, I am quite the social guy who loves hanging with buddies and so on. I just don't feel I have to engange in social activities every day to feel part of something. For this I've always felt the need to change myself, beeing by yourself is not desired. Even today at university level education, almost everything is about working as a group, learning to exchange ideas and collaborate to benefit society later.
In this "quest" for changing myself to fit the template I've gone to some lenghts. I don't regret that today, it's helped me a lot, but that's mainly because there's no place for somebody who's not thriving in the limelight to be of help or interest.
I'd rather sit at home alone watching a movie or drawing than going out to the bar, and thinking about it what's really wrong with that? I have no other career ambition other that finding something that I enjoy doing, I don't need to get rich or famous. Actually I'd rather not.
My only ambition in life is to be happy. Seems strange to many but thinking about it it's very logical. I don't need to change myself to please others. I am social when I feel like it and give myself personal space when I need it.
That's it. People are different and have always been. What I've not realised until quite recently is that we need to create room for us to be ourselves, politically and socially.
Self-contemplation is a good source for positive change but often forgotten about.
Not every solution can be found by discussing or arguing and is it a democracy if only the people who crave to be heard are? Are those with the most ambition the best suited leaders?`Can one be "social" and truly be themselves at the same? I am not sure but this needs to be put into consideration more often.

Last wip
In its final stage I think, might need a little refinement here and there but this is more or less the final product. What do you guys think? I think it turned out ok, not 100% satisfied but ah well.

CD cover
Hello guys, sorry for beeing a bit inactive here lately, have been working furiously on this piece.
Work in progress:
A commission for a metal band called "Burn the Plague". (The same band I made this for):
Anyhow let´s talk a bit about the upper piece, the one in progress. I've never done writing before, all I knew was that I wanted the font to look "angry" and "dark". I drew a sketch of it in my notepad and then drew it in photoshop after my sketch.
Also while I have very little experience in drawing in photoshop I have little to no experience at all on drawing landscapes and fonts and all that, I usually just do a funky character like the bottom picture.
Anyhow, what is left is illuminating/highlighting certain parts, filling out the letters more, refining the silhuetts and the stuff in the foreground and over all reshape/refine everything. This is just the first sketch it might change a lot and look quite different when it's done.

Colour
What do you guys think, should I start doing more coloured stuff? This is my only one so far.
It was fun but I it's much easier to get depth in graphite drawings (black and white).
But hey who said life's just about going the easy path? :)
