Sketches
Between childish schoolbook illustration and bloody rats I tried to do some "serious" sketching stuff again. That mullah guy I drew with reference and did some photoshop-edit to make the sketches look more finished.

Shadowtail
And another rat (I start to become a rat-pro). It's a "Schattenschweif". The "shadowtails" mask themselves as members of other routs to spy on them. In this case a shadowtail that has gnawed off it's ears and tail to disguise itself as a red-eye (look at this post to compare). Clever little bastard...
And the sketch I did before.

Ratten! - Fashion & more
The first RATTEN!-adventure is out now. It's called "Der Kasten des Lebens" ("The case of life") and it just waits for you RPG-nerds to download it :D
Oh and pretty cool: Projekt Kopfkino opened it's own Online-Fashion-Store and you can order different RATTEN!-Shirts on there. Personally I still most like the mutated rat, it's just cute!
Nearly as cute as this friendly naked mole rat. I didn't had to work hard to make it look ugly, the mole rat is damn ugly in real (maybe that's why it lives underground). It has four big teeth growing out above the mouth and very small, nearly blind eyes hidden under skin flaps. And it doesn't feel pain, cos it's skin lacks the so called Substance P that is responsible for sending pain signals to the central nerve system. So that little creature is the perfect monster (wonder why it never had a leading role in a horror movie).

Year v.2.8
Hey there, hope you all have upgraded the old YEAR 2.7 to version 2.8 succefully. Well, I did and until now it all works just fine. And it's time to show you some results of my last year's efforts.
First of all: The new year started and of course my chemist's calender is out right now and - in my opinion - it turned out well.
Furthermore I created the cover and booklet for the second album of the band Home To Paris. They play something between ska and modern jazz and I guess they do it very well, BUT that is so NOT the kind of music I listen to (I actually don't know what I like less, ska or jazz - wow, that rhymes!) But it was fun to draw the band members sitting on the old buildings of "Zeche Zollverein"! And if you are into that kind of music, visit their homepage and order a CD!

Ratten!
Finally I can tell you about the project I worked on for several weeks. All the rats and the other cruel looking animals were created for a new german RPG-label (role play games for non-nerds) called Projekt Kopfkino. The game is called rats! (Ratten!) and it's about - no wonder - rats!
I have never been into role play games like DSA or something, but it was fun to draw the mostly sick looking creatures involved. It was a welcome reliefe to the jobs I work on actually. HERE you can download the first version of the game-regulator.
This is the translation to the infromation text on the website:
Something heavy fell onto the tomcat from the ceiling. Completely puzzled and suprised he crouched and wasn't able to react fast enough and dodge that thing. He was pressed down on the ground. At the same time the world around One-eye got into hectical movement. While it became clear to him that he layed under a net, crawling rats appeared from all around, furry stinky rats, that jumped at him and started attacing him with their tiny crawls and sharp teeth. The tomcat pressed against the net with all his strength, tried to move away from the rats, to escape their bits, but they were to many...

Petting Zoo
Hey there, it's me again! Due to the fact that my laptop went heavenwards two weeks ago I haven't blog anything for a longer time. Now I got a new and better and cooler laptop and started working again (felt a bit disabled without it).
Meanwhile there are the prospects of a few new jobs, but same as usual: I don't wanna talk about them too early (had to make the experience recently that there are many hollow words in this business...)
So now to one of my favourite projects I'm working on and... yes, won't talk about it, hehe. A first version of the completed project will be finished at the end of November and then I will tell you more!
This time I present you these three lovely pets:
