Since my journal needs an update i thought hey, why not posting this here, too. This is an art site after all and should be interesting to you as well.
I am someone who might be called a "cineaste" - because it's true. I friggin' LOVE movies. I love watching them, collecting them, doing research, listening to audio commentaries and learning about the backgrounds. And i always had a soft spot for animated motion pictures. Still do. Disney is awesome, so is Dreamworks and the not so wellknown ones.
Lately i went through my DVD-Collection once more and...i just realised again how MUCH i despise the awful covers that go along with most of the animated movie DVD releases. Especially when i recall the original theatrical posters - which are all (design wise) of sheer BRILLIANCE, full of power and emotion and actually dignify the movie's content. Not to be compared with the cheap DVD covers. Little comparison for you to see what i mean - because i felt like doing one.
(if you can't see it in fullsize, open it in a new tab when you're on the Scrapbook page or download it)
Note: The DVD Covers i featured here are the newest copies (because the newest are among the worst) and i gladly own some of the older copies (like Titan A.E. or Nimh where they more decent (although still bad) DVD cover artworks)
I really wish people would just keep the awesome posters as covers and don't design some shitty new ones - how great would that be for the collector nerds of us. Okay, yes, i KNOW why they do it: Animated movies, they are, so children are the main target - and most children want cheerful, colourful, happywappy cutesywootsie covers, end of story - i see that, i see that. But still....aaaarh. I want to cry whenever i look at the Prince Egypt DVD (which doesn't represnet the excellent movie AT ALL) and compare it to that EPIC theatrical poster they had back then. Hrsn. Or why can't they publish a special collector's edition with awesome theatrical posters only?
Funny though - unlike the DVDs most Soundtrack covers still feature the theatrical movie posters. Which is awesome but still....can someone explain WHY? Because it makes no sense.
(and DAMN, i need to design a new Journal Skin. Because this one makes no sense as well.)

Old Art for shits and giggles: Math Fox/Math Snake
Sharing some old art with you! (because i don't think i ever published those)
As it sometimes happens when you're supposed to do some cleaning, you get stuck with stuff that you haven't seen for years which would all lead to hours of digressing because you have to look at these things and bath yourself in some nostalgia first.
Well, guess what happened to me lately.
I stumbled over super old art which was drawn when i was still a kiddo and i thought: why the f*ck not share it with you! 8D
Thus, have some cover papers from my old personal math book, which were drawn when i was in my early teens.
Explanation: In our class, we all had to m
Board Card Game: Cutthroat Kingdoms
Long time no journal entry!
Thought it was high time to feature a project that i was artistically involved with and which, since October 2017, is finally out for sale.
Meet Cutthroat Kingdoms, a board card game with medieval setting, backstabbing and intrigue:
"You are the leading lord or lady of one of the six eminent Houses in the Kingdom of Aurum—a grim fantasy world fraught with danger, intrigue, and plague. You must use your armies to claim Territories, gather wealth, recruit Hirelings, and hire Mercenaries as you pursue your nefarious plots and jockey for power. Political intrigue and assassinations abound, and powerful strateg

Die Poster die du da zeigst sind aber auch alles Teaser Poster - und die sind IMMER schöner als die finalen Poster, auf denen dann Unmengen an Charakteren und Text draufgequetscht werden. Und Teaser Poster sind immer großartige Kunstwerke. Allein dieses Mulan Poster is einfach zum Abknutschen schön. Oder das von Quasimodo inmitten seiner Glocken. Wow! und dann diese hässlichen DVD Cover, da stimm ich dir zu. Da könnte man weinen ^^°
