Deer skull and some good news
So I finally really get a hold on my to-do-list :)
This is one of my academy assignments. This should have been finished way earlier but....gnah... sometimes time is not your best friend.
But I am working as hard as I can to finish everything in time :). Should have everything done by summer since I will start with a really cool final exam project (yeah!) then!!!! :D
The deer skull is one of the two assignments I was talking about in the last posts. The other one is about the sheeps brain and eye-movement and should be finished this or next week. Then it is just a handful of really big assignemnts.... hff... but it is better to get your ass moving instead of sulking about how much is still left to do :P Then nothing would happen and you would have even less time to get it done. You better just start without thinking about how much is still ahead of you! (that's how it works for me).
Probably going to post some sketches in the next days. Has been a while since I did that. After that hopefully my new Morlos (all finished, just waiting to get a nice photoshoot) and then just what I am able to fill in my tight agenda :)

The Blue Tit
Another bird illustration hope to make some more illustrations with this kind of idea. It is the perfect solution for my background problem and I try to finish another one until monday. Then I am also going to tell you why I am working so hard on illustration about birds!!!!
And....did you know:
We humans can not detect a gender difference in males an females of the blue tit. But research has shown there is a difference. The only thing is that we can not see/detect it with our senses. Males are coloured different in nearly ultra violet (a wavelength we can not see) and it even seems the brighter their crests are the more attractive they are for the ladies
I am reading a very interesting book (Bird senses - What it's like to be a bird) about bird senses everybody who loves birds just has to read it!!!! I have had the chance to meet Tim Birkhead and follow a presentation by him. If you ever have the chance to follow a presentation/reading - do it!

Three little Puffins
It is finished. Finally.
My first bird drawing with background and I am still not sure if I really like working with one or not... Some tipps for that? Without background (see the bee-eaters) I always have the feeling they are sitting in front of nothing....
But....no time to worry about this. Still working on other stuff, which has to be finished this week!! DRAW! DRAW! DRAW!
More updates soon! :)

More to come
I am still busy like a bee :) and although it is a heavy workload it is also quite nice. In two days I will be able to post the finished version of the Puffin illustration (Three little puffins). Hopefully I will be able to show some assignments as I am currently working on a refined drawing of a buck skull and a poster about the sheeps brain in relationship to the sheeps eye and the sensory eye movement (quite a big project ;) ).
So much about my illustrations for academy or for some competitions....
My plushie-online shop got featured by a french website a while ago and I am very thankful for that :) I hope to update the site in the next week. I am looking forward to introduce three new Morlos to my loyal followers and soon I will even introduce a new creature. The Morunculus!!!
And now something inspirational:
a cinematic live dance experience called SEIZURE.

2013 will be exciting
2013 started out very exciting which is also part of the reason I rarely spend my time posting new art or writing new posts here in my blog...
First thing is that I have some very very exciting assignments at the moment... as soon as they are finished I will post them and write about them here :)
Second exciting news are that I will start to apply for my final exam (Masterpublication) this week. There is one very exciting place where I would love to go, but it is quite famous in Europe, so a lot of people will try to get in there ... I just hope they never had someone from a programm like mine and that they like my work so far and that they would like to work with me!!!!
And last but not least I will try to take part in some competitions this year. One is a national one (Germany) and one international one!! Following a post about competitions on "Muddy Colors" by Greg Manchess I thought it would be time to get myself out there!!!!

Bee-eaters
Or: still training my skills in drawing birds and still not succeding fully. I find it mesmerizing that, although I can see I get better and better in drawing in general, there is still so much to learn and so far to go.
It is awesome to be on this journey and being a student forever. There is always something to get better in, something to do different. A few years ago I kinda had that idea that someday you would 'arrive' somewhere where you know 'ok, that's it. I am there...'. But now I rather think that you will never have that moment as an artist or maybe I even hope it.
Btw. these are two bee-eaters. Some of the most colourful birds we have in Europe and I am very happy that I was able to observe them myself in Southern Germany close to the french border.

Digestive system of the rat
This is my illustration with legend for the digestive system of the rat we had to do. First we had to diesct a rat ourselves and decide which system we would like to visualize. I decided, as you can see, in favour of the digestive system:
