Schlaraffenland

'Schlaraffenland' - the personified 'land of milk and honey' is on the lookout for someone who found the way in his world.

This illustration is my contribution to a volume of poetry about food. The book will be released in near future.

After I sketched the idea I started to sculpt it. Later I painted the outlines and the background. So this is a mix between 2D and 3D techniques.

Some of the individual parts:

Lowpoly Character 'Mellory'

This character based on a concept created by my friend Maria Suckert. She is a multi-talented illustrator and it's funny to transfer her concepts into the third dimension.

I hope you like this girl. :)

Male Bust

I spent a few days with my girlfriend in Nuremberg. I'm highly inspired. The museums, monuments, cathedrals are amazing. So I sculpted this (random) bust on my tablet while we drove home by bus to process all of the incoming material in my head. :)
