NEW WEBSITE!

FINALLY:

Ankatsart
Click it!!!

Old spot, new website!!

I know, I know. I started talking about making a new one quite a while ago (haha...). But (and this but ist a big one) there where many problems I didn't think of in the beginning.

First one was: I started to design the layout for my new website shortly after I started my Master Programme Scientific Illustration. Soon I had this problem: Where should I put my scientific illustrations?/How would I fit it in my really playful webdesign (sneak peak website)?
It took a while until I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to go on with scientific illustration I would have to be a little bit more serious.
BUT then I was a little unhappy: Should I just drop the idea (and the design I already put hours and hours of drawing AND ANIMATING! in)? Where would I put my Morlos? How can I be a serious illustrator and show my love for weird creatures and animation?
Finally it came to me (with the help of my boyfriend) that it would be possible to do both!

Two websites for two different things! This is my official (for clients) portfolio website and the other one will be more for me (hrhrhr).

And another but: BUT (since it will take a long time to revisit the design and change it into a Morlo dominated world) I will open my online shop before there is the Morlo website!!!!!! So stay tuned!! There will be a new announcment very soon!

WIP



A sneak peak of a new drawing. For the first time I tried to use the technics I learned in my Master Programme in a free illustration. Hope to be able to finish it this week and to start a new one before Academy starts again in 2,5 weeks.

Fluffy little caterpillar

I had another trip to the gardens and saw this cute fella:


As you can see this Caterpillar Morlo is more than visible. I guess he came out to chew on some leaves and thinking he is save because it was in the middle of two heavy rain showers.


But I bet it is more of an arctic version of Morlos. Hiding the best in snow covered bushes, chewing frozn leaves :)

Little Treehugger

After a very long time I was finally able to go searching for some Morlos again. Lucky enough I found one in the gardens next to the house of my parents. First it was hiding in the bushes:


But when I set down and was really still it turned out to be less shy and really playful. It scampered around the gras but in the first moment I moved it climbed up a tree.


After I waited for a while (of course frozen) it came down again and enjoyed a sunbath. But all the time it made sure it would be able to be back up the tree in seconds.


Even with cookies I couldn't persuade it to come closer again. Maybe next time.

Insight II.

I am still moving forward.Last week with high speed, this week (since it is official vacation time here) a little bit slower. But I got the okay to work on a lot of assignments this summer :). Hopefully I will be able to finish most of them, so that I am again on track with my study plan.

I am so happy that I finally finished the second part of the Somso-modell:



It is the second out of three illustrations. The one before was this one: http://ankatsart.blogspot.de/2012/05/to-get-insight.html and the third will be an ink-drawing from the very first illustration. So stay tuned!! :)

NEW II.

May I proudly present you the second change for my web presence:



My new logo!!!



Next changes will be my new website (hopefully launching about a week or so) and my super very double tripple new Morlo-Online-Shop!!

Besides that I had my evaluation talk and I am still try to work as much as possible, although it is kinda hard because everybody is heading towards vacation allready (summer vacation yeah). If you don't hear from me for a while I might just enjoy some vacation days as well :) I would really need them.

NEW I.

May I proudly present you the first change for my web presence:



My very new header!!! (as you can see, my blog is changed in its colour as well)

It will be the first of a couple of big changes! Including my new website (hopefully launching in two weeks at the latest) and my super very double tripple new Morlo-Online-Shop!!

Besides that I am working my ass of for my study (we have a BIG evaluation-talk-with-everybody-thing next week), I discovered my love for quinoa and will have to say the last and forever big good bye to a loved person for the second time this year.
Last is also the reason why I am not totally in time with all my master assignments or the other stuff (a.k.a. website ....). But things like that are not important compared to big life changes and the new ways of thinking in which these changes result.

Being sick sucks

It really does!!! At least it gives me the time to work at my website (STATUS: nearly finished!!!!! yeah!!) And it is connected to my art which is important ;-)

And for everybody out there I have this awesome video:



It is Neil Gaiman addressing the University of the Arts (Phl) Class of 2012. Enjoy!!

To get an insight

Although I am behind my study plan I am happy that I move forward. At least I finally finished the drawing of a Somso-modell. Nearly everybody knows it from school. In my school it was called Emma (it was female, the one in the drawing though is gender neutral ;-) ). It was so hard...since I have trouble with the 'big forms' it just doesn't get easier if you have to draw an already stylized plastic no-were-close-to-real-life-because-you-have-to-be-able-to-take-all-plastic-organs-out fricking puppet. But...after a lot of "you have to make something nice for you for every assignment" talk with my docents I decided to be guided by anatomy lessons and operation pictures (since body parts in formaline tend to look 'a lil' different than in real life)

But here is the result, take a look four yourself:


Furthermore I am busy to cross out stuff from my list. I will let everybody know soon when my website is being launched/the webshop opened.
