don quijotes worst nightmare


It was for an workshop with Florian Satzinger at the University of applied science in Salzburg.
There is an mad scientist who lives in the windmill, and tries to awake his best friend, a dead fly.

You also have to check out the link!
It was for an short 2D animation, but the course ran out of time, unfortunately it was never concepted that we can finish it. So instead we did something on our own:

Max u Moritz - The Second trick from ben.hinteregger on Vimeo.

A short animation from Constantin, Jakob, Benno and me. I drew everything, benno and Stan made most of the animation, and Jakob some after effects. Benno did most of the post production too! It was some funny 3 days, and it was great the folks asked me to help!

RAUMRAEUBER

Raumraeuber was a project we (Alex Zimmermann and me) did in 2009.
It was my first characterdesign that was later built in an 3D programm (maya).

At first we defined the environment and world to have some rules we can stick too.
If you wouldn't do that you couldn't say if form and concepts make sense. We imagined how somebody would be in this world. How is his life, what is he doing, what does he need, but everything in the context of our own understanding of that world.
I could have drawn an engineer too, but this guys are intergalactic scavengers! There is nothing nice about them.

First I thougt over clothes and armor. The thick shape and mix of old and wasted modern parts fitted very well.
Alex was more into some additional gear for protection. But like Ted Backman said, metallic armory is something antic. Modern materials are way more effectiv. And the different layers cover a wide arrange of protection, and keep the warrior mobile.The life support system was placed on the back, some ideas played with a front installment, but it seemed immobilizing.
While we discussed the different pros and cons of armor and clothes we started with inventing the weapons, to get new arguments.They use meleeweapons and close combat, because of the easy breachable hulls from the ships. And they dont have many ressources in space and any energy is used for more important systems, so they invented new ways to kill each other. For example an air-pressure-shrapnell-gun. The head design was another challenge. My personel favorite was to show a face and some skin, but our level of skill at that time favored more the gasmask solution. Now is the mask not the best choice, because it is exhausted (even when it works) but its destroing somehow the impression of an astronaut. Anyway we found a good look, next to the hellghast, combine and the rest of the faceless footsoldiers.
the final mood for the presentation of the product. I got some impressions from early russian propaganda and retro-futuristic-design. The colors are reduced, to a minimum of colored light. Dark, dirty, bloody and strange.Thats an poster which shows the designprocess. It's 100x100 cm big, looks cool in real

Zei(chen)(t)trick



I made it as the final project for my Abitur
credits to the music goes to Venetian Snares, "szamar madar",
…excuse the copyrightstuff

It's about the difference between time and pictures, and the fake that film and life is doing to us

the feeling that time is a string is an illusion, its more like a field and its not about when you are but rather were,

IT'S SOMEWHERE OUT THERE!

SPRIIIIINNT


sketch just for fun. I had no wacom at that time, and colored it with ps and a mouse. I prefer the raw sketch more than the colored piece.

the 2nd perspective is a little bit boring, but thats ok

sandship

sandship (pencil, wacom and ps, 2009)
I really like it, even when I'm missing some shadows. I tried some variations, with night, and artificial lights and some cold, poisonous moonlight too …hm, what happend to that idea?

thats the right perspective! (blue pens are amazing)

I did some more sketches to find out a funny point of view.

The theme was a ship in the distant future, endless plains, and no oil, what else should you build?
the people in this time, life, sleep and eat on the ship, they are kind of nomads, collecting the trash from past civilizations!

how I paint a Ranger

the finished piece
I added a little bit fog in the background, to make a more misty mood, but theres too less volume in the upper part of the picture. I tried to help a little bit with some clouds, in the foreground.
I watched at these picture for the last months, and there are many things now that I would do much different.
At that time it was for me more about the guy, the gun, and the project. How should I paint? To learn the process of painting on my own helped me very much.
light and shadows, to get more depth and dynamic, also some colorgrading
the trees are not the best, my reference was a forest at my hometown, which was like a dried out Swamp. After 1 hour in it, I was biten by more than 60 mosquitos. It did a big impact on me (60 small impacts). Very cool
the environment is important for some mood,

first the camo, I used the new pattern from the US-military as colorreference. My brushstroke was not very well

ranger (sketchbook, a5, 2009)
its a sketch I did last year, and colored with wacom, and ps
I didn't know that it will become a colored picture, it was just to much fun to draw.
I tried to draw the gun, as real as I know.

an evening with a turtle

about the way down a street into odd nights and worlds …


Sternenraeume


falling in the rabbithole

proberaum


massiver einbruch

tribute to bob


rauschlafen


heimweg
(pen, marker, little bit ps, winter 2008)

the lyrics are:

Alleine durch die Strassen träumen
In endenlosen Sternenräumen

Am Strassenrand zur linken Hand
Wildnis als Schlaraffenland

Fällst dann in König Pilzes Bann!
Zeigt er dir schnell was der Geist kann

In Erden näheren Wirklichkeiten
Kann man das Ich dann nicht mehr leiten

Verweile dort und du wirst merken
Wie Frösche an dem Zauber werken

Ergibt sich Tanz, Musik und Phantasie
Das Rauschen wird zum Wahn-Genie!

Und wenn Äonen dann nur Nächte sind
Die Träume werden Wahrheits Kind

Weggetragen von Wellenbergen,
Ermüdend schweren Acidherden.

Aus nächtlichen spazieren, wird so
Ein tageloses Traumsinieren…

mephistopheles

mephisto, (handdrawn, ps-colored with wacom and some layout)
summer 2009

he has his own heart in an cage, but not the right key. the metalbelt shows that he is a blind, raging puppet master. the horns are his self given crown… I've done a lot of effort in the character, but it should still look like a real ugly and filthy demon.thats the original drawing, it was a very funny night. To draw it, most people said that I shouldn't show the penis too much. But I think its one of the important parts of a devil. He's the seducer and corrupter! People also don't saw the scar. There might be too less attention in the final picture!

It's one of my favorites first wacom. Even when I used the conceptart from diablo 3, by phroi for color, and reference.

Maerchenstunde

a projekt i've done in okt. 2009 with friends at my hometown villach.
it was an evening were 4 different bands or dj's were performing their interpretation of the tales from the brother's grimm.Here is a cut from Cellar Door's tale: Haensel und Gretel (hansel and gretel)

the picture is "little red cap" in the mood of artificiel light, and was given on the flyer.
rotkaeppchen
(handdrawn, colored in ps, okt. 2009)

the concept from loge, the act, was that it should be 4 different musicstyles for each animal.
here you can see the "bremer stadtmusikanten" (town musicians of bremen) as used as background for his show. (not animated)
discodonkey
acidtekknodog
hiphopcat
the piece in the background is from google, the credits goes to anon.

kikeriki (cockadoodledoo)

the animals are all first handdrawn and than colored. we also used them to promote the evening (another way to say advertising):


but the budget allowed just the humantall posters that you see below, and some others from simon, a colleague/friend of mine. Which had drawn the 7 goats.
It is one of the best projects i've done. the evening was great, also well visited. You can't pay working with friends on a cool project! (even when I was payed, hehe)
