…I’m working on several projects the next few weeks. So it will take some time before I can post new pictuers.
But I found some old stuff, worth to show you. These are some drypoint prints I produced within my studies in Hamburg. Hope you like it…
Character sketches
Verfasst von Nils Eckhardt unter Doodles, Skizzenblog am 9. März 2012
Violá! I did these doodles in preparation for storyboarding the ProSieben Superheroes Campagne.
Actually, they weren’t used for the project but anyhow look good enough to me for posting them here.

Old School: Black Book One
Verfasst von Nils Eckhardt unter Doodles, Skizzenblog am 21. Mai 2011
.
Recently, while searching for some of my typography stuff because I had to design the logo for a game, I stumbled across my old black books. It was fun to watch all the graffiti sketches and characters I designed those days – almost 20 years ago now…
It’ll take a few more months before I can show you pictures of my current projects, so I decided to put some of my early works here. Watch out for more.
.
This should be a tribute to Bob Kane, the creator of Batman. But in fact it never made it upon a wall...

I wasn't the wild style writer type of a sprayer but much more into characters.

For this piece I got inspired by the comic "Dark War" from Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy.

The next few images show the process of a graffiti the way I did it:

First the rough sketch to find the shape of the character and the flow of the letters.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Next, I did the layout and used it for my color sketch.
.
.
.
.

.
.
Now it's getting serious: doing the fill-ins.

And at last we got a nice piece in the skate shop "Mr Wilson" in Aurich.

The creation of “Die wilden Felder und der Krieger” – Part 6

Setdesign
.
As I mentioned before, The wild fields and the warrior is divided in two narrative levels, which I had to seperate visaully.
Below, you can see some images of the setdesign. In this step I defined the coloration, the lighting and tested a little bit concerning the textures, which I generated at last with some digitised structures of paper.

The creation of “Die wilden Felder und der Krieger” – Part 5

Design- and early linetests
.
At some point of the production it turned out that I would need two narrative levels.
One part should be animated in a classical frame-by-frame style. In those parts the story would be told only by the warriors acting (except of the dormouse and the crows of course as I mentioned before).
In the other part a narrator had to tell the story. It should help me to submit the more complicated contexts of the plot. Only in here the figures of the fields appear and I decided to animate those parts in a cross-fading technique and fit it together in After Effects. This had the useful sideeffect of not needing to animate the fields frame by frame which would have been very complex.
I was trying different materials and techniques. The sequences of the warrior should look like they were inked on paper. I chose a monochrome coloration for that.
The cross-fading parts should be a little bit more colourful and I wanted to have some more depth in the pictures. So I decided to split the screen into different layers which I used like theater culisses and inserted some camera movements to further the plasticity of the scenes.
To manage a smooth transition from one narrative level into another, I had to come up with some special actions in which something or somebody covers the camera for a moment.
