Miss Brenkster – August 09

by sp | | August 16th, 2009 | arts & graphics, tools | No Comments »

I know… I’m late.

Whenever I’ve talked about Brenkster, I mentioned all along our high creativity level. Haha. Now it’s time to do the job properly. From now on I’ll present you only self-drawn women. In the last weeks I’ve had a lot of time and I used it sensible. My first “sketchbook”, in fact it’s a simple notepad, is completely full and I have to buy new stuff next week.

By the way, I got it, why batpawn always said “you have to use blank paper, not the squared one…”. As you see on the right, it’s a little bit messy with all the squares and the contrast. I tried to adjust it with Photoshop, well…

You can call her Maria “Pig Nose” Yardner. Oh god.

Scribble Time: Nocturnes

Okay, this entry is going to be significantly shorter than my usual ones. Life is just pretty stressing lately, I’ve got many personal conflicts to encounter and I’m overall just very… very tired. In fact, I just want a few, quite and relaxing minutes. I just want to sleep… A LOT. But, don’t be afraid, your personal favorite austrian guy is going to survive it, one way, or the other.

But I haven’t forgotten about the blog and my responsibilities that comes with it. So, without any further explanations, here are your good, old fashioned, freshly cooked scribbles for this very hot month. Click on the pictures to enlarge ‘em, you dumb fucks!

Scribble Time – Part II!!

by Manuel | | June 3rd, 2009 | arts & graphics | No Comments »

Folks… please, tell me: can you believe it? It’s been over (!!) a month since I posted some of my pretentious artwork for the last time! I am… amazed! Amazed and horrified, that is. Horrified that I almost fucked up my own continuity scheme. “Continuity scheme… what might that be oh glorious austrian guy” you ask me, beautiful young girl in the first row, begging that I finally recognize you? Your begging brought juicy fruits of inspiration, my dearest. Because I recognized you… but, how in earth’s name could I not? And I tell you! But listen close, for I’m not repeating those wonderful things your faith sucks out of my fingertips.

I’m going to post all-new, fresh artwork once every month. Yeah, I know… it’s unbelievable. Does god finally start to care for his children that he brings us such delicate gifts? Oh no, I’m no god. I’m not even his voice on earth. Because I’m not lying to you! Because I don’t promise you things you don’t even get! (heh… well… it was hard for me to write this with a straight face, actually). Because I care about you! Maybe because I’m such a low-life that I hope you might care about me that way either. I’m so fucking alone – buhu!

Without any further intermissions, here are my latest three scribbles I’d like to share with you. Here ya go…

I’m starting with a picture I’ve been working on since almost five months. And by “working on since then”, I mean “I didn’t gave a shit to do it until last week where I had nothing better to do”. The drawing was, in fact, a request by a good friend of mine, you might already know. I’m talking about my much appreciated blogging partner. He wanted me to draw a picture of the in-famous Dragonball character Lord Piccolo the way I would interpret the character. Oh boy, you don’t know and can’t even imagine how disappointed he was about the end product.

I should have told him that my version of Piccolo would be the son of Lucifer, who got shot straight to earth in a spaceshuttle, only to start a career as some cheap pimp on the corrupted streets of Curson City who defends his bitchez and hoes by using his hellish powers. I smell money, baby.

———

The next picture is a tattoo design I made for the sister of a pal of mine. I’m very proud of how it turned out in the end and very flattered that this fine girl is going to tattoo it on her body without any further changes. Can you believe it? A design I made on the body of someone for eternity? Especially since the design itself is very… grotesque. I mean, a buddha mandala, sorrounded by rock-stars on a leopard pattern? Seriously… what the fuck? Well, tastes in the end really ARE unique, I guess. I, for example, would never put something like that on my body! I mean, where are the boobies?

———

Last but not least is a drawing that’s fresh. Reeeeal fresh. I just made it today and I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. You can call this picture a self porait if you want to, or just another character design for my “Batpawn comicbook series” I’m currently working on. I leave enough room for interpretations on this since I love myself so much that the character is based on my own looks. I’m sorry for being so utterly fabulous.

The girl that’s riding on my back on that picture is, in fact, inspired by a real existing person. And since irony tastes so utterly sweet, that is exactly the person I drew that picture for. Hopefully she’ll like it, other wise I’m going to commit suicide. Again…

Scribble Time!!

Since I’m writing and drawing pretty intensely in the last couple of months, I thought that it might be a pretty nice Idea to share some of my stuff with you, the “Brenkster Community”. This collection includes two “Batman character sketches” which I’ve done to literally elaborate the mood I’m trying to go for in “BATMAN:golgothik”. It also helped me to work on the character himself and how I want him to be reflected in my story. Kinda like a director who is working with an actor in the pre-production of his movie.

The third picture I’ve done shows a selfmade comicbook character, named – hold on – “Batpawn” (yeah… I know…). He is a character who I’m working on for quite a while, to be honest. I have “created” this character basically back in 2001, but never saw him as being anything more than my sexy alter-ego. The Idea of making a whole developed comicbookcharacter out of him came along back in 2004, I guess, when me and a friend of mine were shitchatting about how it would be like if we were superheroes, and our secret identities are our internet pseudonyms.

After a while of thinking and planning, I was cutting the “superhero thingie” and were working on another, more mature and darker take on the character. In the end, it turned out to be more of a horror fantasy drama than anything else. And I think I like it that way.

You will get more “Batpawn” in the next couple of weeks when I’m officially releasing more backstory about him, plot excerpts and fresh, new concept arts. If you’ve been an active reader in the last month, you might already caught a glimpse of Batpawn. The “Intermission Article” I’ve released is, in fact, the very first page of the first Batpawn issue.

Oh my, I almost forgot what this blogentry is all about. So, without any other deviation, here are the drawings! Click on the pictures to enlarge them – duh!

Miss Brenkster – April 09

by sp | | April 1st, 2009 | arts & graphics | No Comments »

Es ist der 1. April. Brenkster macht keine Scherze, hier gehts knallhart ans Tagesgeschäft! Zeit für eine neue Miss Brenkster. Ich hab mir Gedanken gemacht und schlage heute mal eine andere Richtung ein. Aber seht doch einfach selbst.

Die Zeichnung ist natürlich nicht von mir, sondern vom großartigen Alan Tew. Ich liebe seinen Stil und würde mir wünschen, auch schon sowas in der Richtung vorweisen zu können. Aber es will noch nicht klappen.

Wobei ich sagen muss, dass die verlinkte Zeichnung eigentlich gar nicht seiner Art entspricht, was sofort bei Durchsicht seines Blogs auffällt. Wirklich interessant, wie facettenreich Mr. Tew ist.
