Floodliners - Wreckage

Hi guys,
Things have been quite busy for me lately, as I've ventured into the wonderful world of themepark design! I'm currently working on designs for Adventure World Warsaw, a polish themepark we're currently designing from scratch. Lot's of fun, be sure to check the link above! :)

Meanwhile, I've picked up my floodliners project again, above another visual I did in Photoshop. Trying to find out how much of The Flooded World is actually left intact, I have some more visuals I hope to be able to share with you soon.

Back to work,

The Incredibles 2 | Visual Development

Old Enemies

World's Safest City
Stretched Out

Good Old Days
Stars of the Sky Tours
Incredible INC.
Go Away.

Finally I present you guys my top secret personal project: The Incredibles 2!

'WHAT?! Incredibles 2 artwork?! Is Pixar working on a sequel?!'

Well, not exactly. Let me explain.

A couple of months ago I was watching Pixar's 'The Incredibles' again, and started wondering wether a sequel would ever be made, and how awesome it would be to do visual development for such a project.

But, as I don't really have (director) Brad Bird or Pixar on speeddial, I decided to just start development on this fictive project myself, and see where it would lead me.

On the trainride to work I started scribbling down ideas for a possible storyline and doing quick thumbnails to explore some of these ideas visually. I created around 50 thumbnails I think, which I eventually brought down to these 7 images.

As I'm not much of a writer, I'm not going to bother you with the story I based these images around; I would much rather hear your interpretation of these images, and other ideas you'd love to see in a sequel!

It would be great if these images could start a buzz around The Incedibles 2, and have Pixar acually do another one. :)

Feedback, comments and ideas very much appreciated as always.

-Edwin

Pensketch Village

Currently working hard on improving my digital painting skills, unfortunately not yet anything I can show you guys. In the meantime here's another sketch I did for my sketchbook. Inspired by the awesome Regis Loisel.

Oh, and a bunch of childrensbook-covers I did a while back recently hit Italian bookstores , I'll be sure to put those up here soon aswell, stay tuned :)

Speedpainting - Part 1

Space Cowboys - Character Development

Well, finally another update! I've been working hard on freelance projects, but now that my schedule is clearing up a bit, I'm back at work on my personal projects aswell, yay!

I've picked up my Spacecowboy project again, for which I posted some charactersketches a while back.
I figured my cowboy character needed a horse to ride (yes, I know, I'm a strong conceptual thinker :P), so the last couple of days I focussed on character development for the main characters' horse.

Most of the poses and emotions in the sketches come from the fact that the horse and cowboy will be encountering alot of aliens, hence lots of falling/being beamed up poses :) All sketches were done directly in pen, with a 'mircoschrijver' from the 'HEMA'. Dutch people will know what I mean. :P

I've already finished another batch of pencilsketches for this project, and also some digital plein air sketches I've been doing around The Hague on my macbook, I'll be sure to put them up here in the next couple of days as well.:)

Overlord 2 - Character Concepts

View the full list of new images at gamona.de), with awesome work from fellow partners in crime Daniel Ernst , Gilles Ketting , Sjan Weijers and Chris Evenhuis.

Overlord 2 Concept Art

Hopefully Codemasters will release even more images soon, as some of my favourite (character) designs are not yet among these..:)

More personal work coming soon,
