Miscellaneous Art-Work
Occasionally I also create (maritime) illustrations that are not related to Quincey Howard RN or the Wharfair project. Interesting art-work gets its place here from now on.
Test page for colouring with other brush and colour definitions for Affinity-Photo - with a referenc
Last year I had scanned other of my old comic projects in view of reworking them. Since I have almost finished "Ironimo's Battleship" in the meantime, it is now the turn of a fantasy short story with a maritime background. After I had removed the text from the first page, I finally tried out some of the brushes I had ordered with Affinity-Photo. For comparison, I then quickly coloured it again in my current technique.
"Faucon Noir", study of a heavy privateer frigate, created in 1980.
The historical setting should be the transition from the 17th to the 18th century. The experienced viewer will notice a few small flaws, but bear with me. I had to work from memory, as the few reference books available at the time could only be obtained through inter-library loan
Dutch ship of the late 17th century
I wanted to test the image editing program Affinity-Photo. For lack of current line-art, I got this work from the 80s from the archive to edite and colour it by every trick in the book. And the result is, not only visually, very acceptable.
Buccaneer-Ioel at Sea
Originally a sketch to entertain my godson while babysitting. Then inked properly last autumn and coloured afterwards. Unfortunately not finished in time for a Christmas gift. 🙁
