A small trip into the area of design. Just decided to randomly do it. Haven't done anything design stuff for some time now, it's fun to sit and contemplate about a design for hours and hours (as long it doesn't go on for to long ;-)).
I'm not to sure about the black circles under the symbols, especially by the third one it looks like the base of the screen is the continuation of the black circle, or just a mistake made in Illustator (by the way, this piece of work was made in Illustrator and Photoshop).

Happy Buddha
A piece of work titled "Happy Buddha". I originally wanted to have different religious signs hidden in the picture, but I thought it wouldn't be quite right. So I ended just doing the Buddha.

The Cosmic Trilogy
One of my favorite books is "The Cosmic Trilogy" from C.S. Lewis. You might know the individual books "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra", "That Hideous Strength". If you have not read them, I highly recommend reading them. Although they don't share the simplicity in storytelling of the "Narnia" series, you can see similarities. "The Cosmic Trilogy" is a very unique book, which like Tolkiens "Lord of the Rings" relates the battle between good and evil, only here on a cosmic scale and without all the historical backgrounds etc.
Also the books are written so well, that you have no problem visualizing the worlds and events that appear in the books.
Here's a picture of a creature which appears in the first book "Out of the Silent Planet". It's an intelligent inhabitant of Mars (more intellgent than humans, but live like cave men). The species go about the name of Sorns, not the only race on mars.
The character design is my idea of how a Sorn would look based on the description in the book. It's just a quick sketch that I did in a couple of minutes, so it is a bit rough.
I'll certainly be doing a couple of more illustations and character designs from the book. I'm really looking forward to it.
edit: @ Bhairava: correction propositions?? I know the legs & feet aren't that fantastic, but otherwise I quote like how the head chest turned out.

A little Something …
A little something I did yesterday. I drew the original by hand and inked it digitally with my new Wacom tablet (still have to get used to it).
This actually happened! I was in London with friends and having a really great time, and then in the Underground there was this iPod poster and I hugged it  and that was it ;-)

Waiting
I had my last test on the 25th of September and it takes nearly a whole month just to correct the tests, fill out my Graduation certificate, get it signed (by the school Director and the Ministry of Education) and hand it over ro me … and I thought I was slow … never mind, I will (hopefully) be getting it tommorow.
Here a sketch …

Free
I've just finished all my Graduation test today (second run), and will be getting the results in a week or so.
Now I've got time for drawing again. From my side I hope to see a whole lot of updates. Also have to start looking for a job ;-)
Here a sketch I did a while back.
Since I don't have a drawing tablet, I'll probably just be posting sketches and inked drawings.
