Da bin ich mal wieder sehr spät dran mit meinem Kommentar.
Es ist wirklich beeindruckend wie viele atemberaubende Kunstwerke du schon gezaubert hast und ich muss sagen deine älteren Werke stehen deinen Neuesten in nichts nach.

absolutely brilliant Master Art deWhill

Zeit...zu spät sein oder nicht - alles relativ :D
ganz herzlichen Dank, Christoph!
I am really happy, that my "classic" ones still have a great attraction, not only to me but on others, too! wow, makes me feel proud :)

dramatic sounding heading, but its not bad news.
I just want to tell you that I am going to  put my Star Wars or fan art stuff on hold for a while. Just finishing off my current projects (like Pasha, the Rebel pilot), then turning my face towards new challenges.

I happend to meet a guy who is publishing different SciFi magazins, paperbacks and eBooks and he would like to have "some" covers and illustrations done by me. Though its all a non-commercial offer on a more or less self-publishing amateur base, where the profit is equalized by the production costs, his offer is very attracting to me. You know I like to showcase my works and to see them on a cover on a mag selled at a news stand would be awesome kick ;)
and the challange to focus again on my own ideas instead of fan arts is just too good to be rejected.
Funny that I just showcased my "classic" stuff here only days ago and now I am heading seriously into this direction again...

As said its not about money but honor and glory :D  all I will get is a PDF page of the finished cover which I can use on my blogs and stuff - but hey, its about fun!

And if you have any vehicles or figures you think I should take as inspiration I would be happy to read your notes ;)

here is a link to the publishers website (German only): http://www.frx-online.de/

cheers

Art,

Good news about the offer, you deserve the attention. With regards to Star Wars stuff I totally understand, this is a hobby and I often find myself getting tired of working on the same subject...

Saying that, I do expect you to pop in from time to time and let us all know how you are getting on!

All the very best,

Jules

thank you very much for your understanding and the good wishes, Jules!
I will sure show up here on a more or less regulary base trying not to miss new customs :) its no good-bye, just a shift in themes and because of the contract to keep the publishers commissions  private until they are officially announced a reduction in posts. On the other hand I should do a lot more speed paintings and conceptual stuff, so there will be work to display ;)

I had the great honor to be commissioned by the Star Wars Fanclub of Belgium to create their front and backcover for the current issue of their  fan club magazine. It was a dream to work together with Tim Veekhoven, head of the club and chief editor, and because the front cover is now published online I am able to share it with you ;)

Now its going to be hot LOL



Thanks, Art

Once again you have killed it! (in a good way!) Awesome job! Now there's a magazine I'd read!

"The Empire has a legion of loyal soldiers that are in endless supply."
"Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise."
"For the Empire!"

Der belgische Fanclub kann sich wirklich glücklich schätzen so einen talentierten Künstler als Unterstützung zu haben.
Das Cover sieht einfach nur genial aus. Du kannts wirklich stolz auf deine Arbeit sein.

Hello Christoph,

thanks heaps for your flattering compliments :) you know I greatly appreciated your support.

It was great to work on the covers and I sure will do another one for them in the future. My next cover is on its way, coming in July, a Slave I have done for the German SW Club...

but right now I am focusing on my non-SW/custom creations to be hopefully published as covers or inside the German XUN magazine.

Art, congrats on a terrific cover for the Belgium fan mag! 

Mustafar never looked so good; if it weren't summer where I'm at, I'd have to consider vacationing there!   ;D

I keep going back to your early pieces from, I believe you said the early 90's; just love the true sci-fi feel to those (aside from the SW connections I make when i look at them).  Looking forward, as always, to seeing what you come up with next!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
