BazookaBonsai's News

Posted by BazookaBonsai - January 30th, 2015


Hello fellas,

I have been considerably quiet in the past weeks, I admit. It's the kind of stuff one deals with when the exams are coming up. At least the worst is pretty much behind, so hopefully, I will be able to upload more work and be able to socialize with you more.

Lets get started.


Project update

4715561_142265358462_WiP.jpg

The next painting is in its conceptual phase. I want to put more emphasis on composition and the background in this one. Depending on how well things go, it will be done somewhere in the middle or by the end of next month.


Feedback requests

My blog is still in development and I would like to hear your feedback on it. Do you like the layout? What can be improved? I was thinking about an entirely new, more streamlined layout so that the content is more in the center of things.

The feedback would help me greatly.

You can find the blog here: http://anpiety.tumblr.com/


Need a hand?

I was taking art tutorials into consideration. Basically, I would explain things like my workflow, some techniques I use aswell as ways to improve.

I may even add some artist presentations where I show some work of some of my favorite (and other great) artists. 

Tell me what you think of this idea.


Livestream announcement

Lets all have a drink and relax as we draw some silly cartoons. I have a surprise for the next livestream ready, so be ready. It will be fun.

 

best regards

BB

Hello fellas,

this has been quiet an eventfull week for me here. Lets just say that I am more pumped than ever before for the things to come. Lets not wait and get right to it.


Project update

4715561_142205116372_tumblr_nijm2gnw5D1u7gli7o1_400.jpg

My next illustration is nearing completion. I plan to be done with it this sunday. I have some plans for the next painting already and hope to be able to begin working on them as soon as possible.

The experience was fun has taught me alot of things, including how I would tackle future illustrations.


...Talking about illustrations

I've began creating more stilized work lately. Work that leans more towards cartoons and comics than high end paintings. I found it incredibly fun doing these. I want to flesh out the style and try out many motives with it. Expect alot more of these in the near future. They will be creepy,too.

What does that mean for the future? My gallery will primarily consist of three different kinds of work: Fleshed out digital paintings, cartoons and doodle compilations from the livestreams.


Livestream announcement

The livestream will feature the finalisation of my current illustration. Depending on how long it will take me, doodles will follow.

The livestream will take place, as always, on Sunday 8pm CET.

Hello fellas,

Not much has happened this week, so see this update as a sign that I am still alive.


Project update

The next painting should be done by the end of next week. Style studies are still a pain. 


Livestream announcement

As always, livestream on Sunday, at 8PM CET. I'll spend the evening drawing cartoons.

 

Lets end this incredibly short post on a bright note: Lots of my schoolwork will be done by this weekend. Things are about to happen.

Hello fellas,

 

Another week, another friday.

Another friday, another update.

Buckle up, we're going in hot.


Project update

The visitors of my last livestream already know what I am working on at this moment. It is a considerably big piece that requires alot of refinement.

It is coming along quiet well and I expect to be done within a week or two.4715561_142083902261_Unbenannt-1.png

Because it will take so long, I will also work on other in between illustrations. I am currently experimenting with more illustrative styles again, similar to this one: http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/bazookabonsai/201214

I also have other things in store in the near future, so stay tuned.


I has a tumblr now

http://anpiety.tumblr.com/

It's empty. It will mainly consist of sketches, WIPs, Updates (like this one) and other things. I plan to expand it as time goes by.

Why not come along? It looks neat.


Livestream announcement

As I said prior, I am experimenting with different styles again.

Thus, the next livestream will be a doodle stream. Like every week, at 8pm CET!


That is it for this week. Comment below on things you like or dislike or want to talk about.

Hello fellas

Happy new year. I hope you had a great celebration as we now go into another exciting year of stuff that happens.

 


Resolutions LOL!

Like every year, people set goals for themselves to reach. Loose weight, more success in ones job, finaly move out of ones parents house etc. The list is as long and as diverse as humanity itself.

It is a common thing to do and also very relatable. The new year is commonly seen as a new start. New year, new chance. However, it is also very commonly observed how many people drop their resolutions only after a couple of months.

I was there last year. Check it yourself: http://bazookabonsai.newgrounds.com/news/post/880799

The series never saw the light of day, neither did the game.

Like last year, I have ideas, plans and dreams. The problem is: If I don't do something for them, they will never be real. This thing is, as I believe, a change in attitude.

To quote my longpost from the CC14-retrospective:  

"When I can do it and want to do it, there is no excuse for not doing it to the best of my abilities."

This is the mindset I am going to carry into 2015 and live by. Just having dreams does not suffice. If I dream it and want it to be real, I have to make it happen and the moment I work towards it, it should be done with absolute dilligence.

Can this be counted as a resolution?


Project news

In the time of celebration, I worked mainly behind the scenes on a series of private projects.

A new Illustration is already in the making. There isn't much I can show yet, but you can visit this weeks livestream at Sunday 8PM CET to see me working on it.

On the subject of illustrations: You may remember these:

http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/bazookabonsai/the-temptation-of-st-anthony

http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/bazookabonsai/071214

I would be a liar if I said that I didn't fall in love with dark fantasy and obscure imagery. Pictures of this nature will likely be a more common thing from now on.


Change of pace

Only a quick note at the end: From now on, the weekly updates will be written on every Friday.

Also, if there are things you would want to be included in an update, like a particular artist, musician or some other subjects, let me know.

 

Best of luck for 2015
