My Writings. My Thoughts.

visual tools

During the past few weeks I’ve done three photoshop works for the incredible Brenkster Tools. The first one was originally a film poster of a 70s porno movie, which is called Hungy Mouth.

“Iconic” is the appropriate word, but take a look at what I’ve tinkered in my chamber of creativity!

Another idea was to create a frontcover for the imaginary (as yet!) Brenkster Tools magazine, with a summary of all our recent blog posts – in a gossip manner. But on a high level, with all that goes with it, covergirls and all the shit.

Here is my first draft, even if I don’t like it. It’s definitely NOT brenkster. Yeah, brenkster is an adjective.

I love my second try as much more, it appeales so much minimalist, sophisticated and smoothing. Totally brenkster!

If it’s going well I’ll try to do such things regularly. Oh, and remember: all these works will be published on Flickr!

appreciation

by sp | | October 21st, 2009 | arts & graphics, comics

Yo! I’ve just finished reading the two volumes of “Superman: For Tomorrow”, the Brian Azzarello/Jim Lee work. Wohohoho!!! It’s another masterpiece, both the story and the artworks. The Brenkster Tools exclusive “Superman: For Tomorrow” review is written already – in my mind. Stay tuned!

Anyway, there are plenty pages I’ve got to scan and enrich our panels with them. I’ll do it as soon as I can, promised!

To see what’s awaiting you, here’s a short “pre-taste”. That’s the cover for Superman #212:

I’m going to upload a bigger version soon, maybe in wallpaper-sizes. Awesome, isn’t it?

new youtube video

by sp | | October 11th, 2009 | tools, videos

Due to my excitement for the new Batman-game „Arkham Asylum“, especially for the well done battle system, I thought I could do a video again. So I thrashed some Lunatics yesterday and put the stuff together with iMovie.

Arrr, it was awful. The raw material was about 16 gb. First, I had to change it to a suitable iMovie-format. Okay. It took approximately half an hour until I found the right converter for my .avi-files. At the second, a couple of cutting and editing hours later, I made the decision to upload it directly from iMovie to YouTube. There’s a handy function…

Estimated time: less than 1 hour.

Whatever, there was nothing to do for me anyway. In the meantime I did the challenge mode and beat up some poor Joker henchmen again. Hahah.

And then! Almost 60 minutes later, I got an „communication error“. Please try again. PLEASE TRY AGAIN!! Guys, it was about 2:00 am. I took the conventional way on youtube.com, just 1:15 h wait. To hell with it!

At 3:00 am everything was done. My video was online and everything was fine.

Hope you like it!

scribble

Don’t worry, Miss Brenkster isn’t going to be male this month! Hihi. Lately I’ve read a lot of superman comics (more later), so I had no option but to make my own supes.

It’s not THE superman I’ve got in my mind, but for that short work it is… okay. By the way, I didn’t know that it’ll be so difficult to put these pictures online. That supes lies in front of me and the paper looks way different from the uploaded image. My sheet is actually white and some smooth lines are… missing.
