These are some 3D sketches I made for my new project Metamorphosis, the project will be 3D and probably abstract. I have a very limited colour palette in mind, mostly blacks and metals.

More to come

Eternal

Eternal is a series of graphic novels I’m working on. I’ve written the outlines for about 9 novels and now I’m focussing more on the actual writing part. I’ve also been working on the concept art, by collecting things that inspire me, sketching and taking photos… If I was able to explain Eternal in a couple of sentences, I would, but I can’t, too big of a story, too many storylines, …

But I can show you the concept art, some of these you’ve already seen, but I wanted to put everything in a single post. Just remember some of the photos in my sketchbook aren’t mine, they’re just there for inspiration.

One of the photos from the Avon shoot and some research on Paradise Lost

Jewelry design for the character of Avon

Instax photo from a Dazed and Confused shoot of Gaspard Ulliel, Inspiration for the character of Judah

A photo from the Avon shoot

The photo on the right is my own, the one on the left is from a magazine, both are inspiration for the character of Avon

On the right is a photo from Dazed and Confused, the model is Jethro Cave, inspiration for the character of Ariel. The one on the left is inspiration for the character of Lilith

Six characters from the novel, in the correct order are Lilith, Eve, Eden, Samael, Judah, Ariel, all written in hebrew. Calligraphy is kinda hard when you're not used to it, on the upside I know about half of the Hebrew alphabet by heart now.

One of my favorite photos from the Eve shoot

Next update will be photos I took over the summer

Eternal: Character Design for Eve (WIP)

It’s been ages since my last update and even longer since I updated Roro. I was just more focussed on creating things, working on projects and enjoying the summer then on posting about it.

This post is about another one of my characters for my project called Eternal, the character I’m currently working on is Eve. She’s supposed to have this washed out look with hints of colour, so I’m still experimenting a lot with the right amount of colour and which colours. So don’t look at these photos as a finished product but as a work in progress.

I’m working with several media when it comes to developing these characters who or what they are and what they can do is something I’m not ready to tell you lot about, maybe in a couple of months…More about the several media, I will be making a painting of each of the characters, after I’ve figured out a definitive look for them. So I’ll be working on the characters through the medium of photography, painting, sketches and since they are part of the story, words.

This is one of the first sketches I made for Eve, about a year ago

The other character that I'm working on and that you have already seen some photos of is Avon, pictured below.

After the Eve shoot with part of the make-up still on

Another project I'm working on is Wizard of Oz, more info will follow

Shadowplay

A new batch of black and white photos. The photo above was taken with my Canon EOS 400D, the rest were taken with my Diana F+ on Kodak 400TX medium film. And that's all the information I'm giving, figure it out for yourselves what is about and what you're seeing...

Vivid

This post is a collection of photos with vivid colours, heavy saturation and cross-processing. The above two pictures were taken with my Canon, the vivid colours in them were gained by tweaking them in Photoshop.

Click the pictures for larger resolution

I just got my pictures back, the ones I took with my Pentax. I wanted to try something different so I shot the pictures on slide film and had them cross-processed. I don’t know why, but my scanner kind of fucked my colours up, they are supposed very saturated, but somehow my scanner drained some of that saturation out of them, tried to fix it a bit in Photoshop, still not the same though.

This picture was taken through a keyhole, they are kind of hellish to get a right focus on.

This one was taken with blue coloured flash

I’ll post more Diana photos as soon as I get my pictures back and remember to check my RedBubble account, I sometimes post pictures there that I don’t post here or I post them a bit earlier there.

Love,

Jules
