Best French Erotic 2010

killer tornadoes over Germania

Finally, he has appeared with over the 500 pages largest comic from Germany, moreover, in hardcover with dust jacket in fine S / W. Drawn


, this mammoth work Stephan Hagenow , from a novel by SHA Parzzival can order and mans uA here: here. because people can also read about what the content of what I here spare (I have caught myself in a cold meal, and how every male character in the situation I am suffering now as a dog! * Schnorfz! ).
was referred to this comic record here not only because he is a valued colleague, No, because I painted the surrounding cover! However, I can not drumrum determine that I could now do better. It should be about 2-3 years ago I did it, as long as the book is standing because of some delays in the queue.

On 6 . November will sign Stephan the part in the Inter comic in Cologne + decorate if desired with little pictures, a time to remember the sloping of the Nerd.

High Waisted Skinny Jeans

comic prices

Even in this country are (considered more or less) awarded prizes for comics, usually in a comic book event selbige something to upgrade. Currently, most commonly the Max + Moritz Prize of Comic Salon, the Sondermann are the Frankfurt Book Fair and the annual ICOM price. Beautiful thing one would think, but every time Gibts Gezerfe and expressions of discontent if the judging. What is?

There are two ways to award prizes, you can tune the audience or a jury. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but ultimately decides argue the personal taste and on the can (not).

The M & M's price has from the perspective of the normal comic reader clearly lost its prestige, is because there is a price critics. Here are the titles nominated in part, a little knowledge, and you try hell-bent on the evil "mainstream" to avoid in the pantheon of "art" push forward. This is very clear that the views of critics and readers about what is affordable and what is not usually a long way different. Rather it has disqualified itself MMN this year by the award of a title is indeed appear until the day before the awards ceremony in German, but so was omnipresent throughout the event, that there was really no doubt about who gets the prize. suffers

The Sondermann though, that not by class but by weight, it means what most sells best has , is nominated and the audience (ie essentially the readers of a particular online newspaper) then vote on who gets the prizes. In itself, a correct method, it has only one thing. The average citizen has no idea about that is usually comic, bw what's in this medium at all. Since bought what is known , I guess boldly: hardly anyone would know more than half a dozen titles bw cartoon characters. That is so as one would reduce the TV program on DSDSS and GZSZ and then say one of two best of what TV shows. Consequently, this time got the price of a title is among connoisseurs as the worst of the whole series.

The ICOM price, however, has the highest reputation internally - and is strangely less well known. Actually, to be awarded the ICOM outstanding Independent Comics just can not now reasonably clear definition of what is and is not independent. Here, indeed, a jury decides, but not consisting of smug / tangled Critics, but mostly from people who make comics too, that have a clue about the matter and contact with the infantry. Sorry, we could here lately is a trend to watch the M & M closer price. It has a title this year, the ICOM and the M & M get-price touched the other one or something embarrassing.

Nuja, as they say then bitched in a beautiful regularity in Forum comic, and always with the same end - would be sure to let the fun times analyzed by a psychologist. Responding to the award involved thin-skinned, and sooner or later the accusation of envy and ignorance (- they respond at all, most jurors are in the greatest comic community at all active). The trouble-makers hold a more or less objectively against it and demand that the whole procedure of the award must be modified to get a "good" results, as should always look like that. At some point in terms of riding around in the comments just to have the last word, and finally someone speaks a word of power ala "Do over! Sit down!" - Until the next award.

the way, some judges I have no idea what they qualified for the job and who they appoint, because sometimes appear to me to say anything.

After Mamogram Ihave A Red Rash

Twilight Zone

A TV tip-between. Recently shows The Fourth day shortly after 23 clock the old Twilight Zone episodes .



so to speak, the mother of all mystery series. From 1959 on, were shot intermittently over 150 episodes, with offshoots in the cinema and comics.
in this niche channels are likely to miss the most, especially since previously untold teleshopping fooled the people, at least in my normally causes a reflex Next zapping. In the fall I suppress my instincts, the classics are worth it.

Fish Breathing Rate Experiment

More Monstrumologen

Because it has made me so fun, a little bit more about the Illus from same book. Here are a few designs
we have then taken for various reasons not yet. is


Before I go on the computer was first pencil geskribbelt to get a feel for the characters. Adapted to the cover should not really be so naturalistic. Also thumbnails for Illuideen go so fast by the hand, at least for me. As you can see from the figures, I have different perspectives in two scenes (the then not yet used) were tested.


A finger exercise to an illustration which was then reacted somewhat differently. As I said, I've used this technique before and never had to first figure out how and what works best. take off from 0 to 100 is not, since one should appropriately enough the first time to invest in the respective style + hineinzufinden technology.


How shrewd expert might recognize are the three levels: Black background, color sketch, (white) bar.

way: If, in foreign Writes tongues that can not control really well, can be easily misunderstood ...
