Updates anyone?

Well, what can I say. As I’ve written before there have been some changes in my life that will affect my blogging activities. So therefore I have decided that my updates will be on a whenever-I-can-basis!

In doing so I hope that it will be quality and not quantity, here on the blog (...stop laughing!).

And as you probably knew the design process is still ongoing! Although I might be closer to an end result, than I was a few weeks ago...!

Take care!

The pose...

...for some days I’ve been trying to find a decent pose to get the character in the mood of things. To try it out. To see how it feels. It’s hard finding that pose, until I decided that I could steal it! Yes, there you have it, he who steals, gets!

I’m not to proud of this realization, but if it gets the job done...! The pose worked by the way, and the character also!

Take care!

Finally

I’m back on track and continue with the character design. It took some time, but maybe it was needed, probably it was.

I will probably not post works of the process here, during the process, I tend to play with the cards close to my chest, if you know what I mean.

Take care!

Charlie Hebdo

Today I heard of this attack against the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. I hope that this blow at the freedom of speech and criticism will not be the conquering one. I hope that freedom of speech and criticism will stand tall and strong.

I also hope that the journalists and critical cartoonists out there that are under pressure will find the strength to continue their important work.

One last thing, although I’m a man faith I find that criticism of religion is very important. Because a critical or satirical view of a subject might be a completely different view than your own, and therefore you might get a different take on things. And this new take might make you grow, as an individual.

Take care!

Sometimes things happen all at once!

It seems that short break that I wrote about earlier became quite long...

Since my last update, I’ve started working full time (which is a positive thing), but due to the increase in working hours, my projects have been missing out, some.

Although ’tis the season to be jolly and all that, early december something really, really sad happened, that has just taken it’s toll on all of us. Since I’m a man of integrity I’m not going to get into great detail here. But the short story is that we are all so, very, very sad. To everyone that have helped us out, my warmest thanks! A friend in need, is a true friend indeed!

The holidays are soon upon us, and on that note I wish you a happy christmas and a happy new year!

Take care!

Taking a break?

This week I’ve pondered about the importance of the short break. I guess I’ve written about it before, but maybe there will be a new angle here, or a piece of a new angle...

I’ve discovered that when I’ve taken a short break, I often get new ideas and tend to see my project from another angle. I think that a short break fuels the creativity and gets you more creative, and let you try out new ideas. Because if you hadn’t taken that break, you just might have continued in your own footsteps or as you previously had thought, and not gotten that idea that will turn your project into a smash hit!

That’s why I’m enjoying some days where I’m not working on my projects at all and is content with doing nothing!

Take care!

P.s Well... earlier today, I finished two new sketch books, so how about that break, eh...!

The winds of change are coming...?

Some changes might turn up for me in the near future, that might affect this blogging activity of mine. One of these changes might be that my weekly updates might be semiweekly or whenever-I-can-weekly...! To tell you the truth I don’t know if this will happen. Maybe I will continue with the updates, the future will tell!

I’ve had this blog with weekly updates now for about four years, and maybe it’s time for some changes...

Take care!

P.s And yes, you guessed it! I’m still designing the characters... I don’t know if I’m slow or if this is how the process is. Sometimes I feel like I’m as fast as a snail...!
