Monju Hunters of Sōfugan Island - Russian Version

Now here it is the Russian version of our short film "Monju Hunters of Sōfugan Island". I don't understand a word, but I love this synchro version so much. :) It somehow adds a new layer of authenticity to the whole thing. Many thanks to Futuroom_Show for making this possible!!! Kudos to the great voice actor!

A Sacrifice for Dagon

This is my latest painting. It is inspired by the Cthulhu myth of HP Lovecraft as well as a little homage to the golden age of fantasy illustration and of course inspired by representatives like Frazetta or Vallejo and some others. It is based on a pencil sketch from one of my sketchbooks (last picture).



in my Sketchbook:

Flying Scorpion

"The ancestors of this small animal once rose from a life on the ground into the air by jumping to catch prey from the air. Evolution caused the legs to become a kind of gliding wing system by elongated hairs that interlocked like a bird's feather." ...I don't know if this makes sense, but I thought walking on tail and claws was a funny idea. :)

Alicanto

A mechanical, gold-seeking Alicanto bird made by a dwarf smith... or something like that. 😆 Digital painting in Photoshop over a scanned pencil sketch.

Animated Short: Monju Hunters of Sōfugan Island

The animated short film that I made together with my friend Karim Eich was finished in 2016 is now available on YouTube in full length! It has been featured on short film channels such as CG Meetup, CG Bros and several others and has been seen by many thousands of people since it's now online. I'm really excited about all the positive feedback we've received!


It was my final thesis at the Bauhaus University of Weimar in 2016, and we worked on it together for two years (2014-2016). Later, our great sound team Michael Holz, Ludwig Müller and Jonathan Ritzel and the composer Martin Kohlstedt did it really great in the end. It was a great time, we learned so much.

I'd like to make more of this world one day.

Concept Car: Bladek TS - X2

Playing a bit outside my comfort zone. I tried a concept car design. It's a giant reverse trike. I'm not sure if it's technically 100% possible but I like the forms. I designed some blueprints for presentation too.
