Manga-style Artwork (Computer-Colored)
The pictures in this gallery were all colored using a computer and a software for picture manipulation. For some pictures and effects I also used a small graphic tablet.

Sad Michiru Version 2 (2001-08-31) Sometimes, things happen in life that make me very sad. And sometimes I try to express my feelings with a picture - and this usually helps me keep my balance. Another try to color this ink-picture with the computer, this time again in the "anime-cel-style". |

Sad Michiru Version 1 (2001-08-30) See above for a comment. With this picture I've tried a different computer-coloring method. I took my tablet and selected a brush with "oil pastels"-function. I really like the outcome... I guess the pastel-style works well with the sadness of the picture. |

Animagic 2001 (2001-06-20) Since 1999, Germany's biggest Anime-convention "AnimagiC" was held every summer in the city of Koblenz (meanwhile they changed locations). I missed the first one, but I've been there ever since. This year I have again drawn a picture while at the con, doing the raw-sketch and inking there. And I also had the great opportunity to take part in a workshop held by Tadashi Ozawa-sensei. He worked on the "Record of Lodoss War" OVA-series and several other anime and got his own animation-school in Tokyo. Even though this workshop was very short I've learned a lot from him. Domo arigatou gozaimasu! |

SD-self-portrait (2001-06-19) My second try to color a picture entirely on the computer. It shows my real-life self (at that time) squeezed into an SD-figure... |

Bluedress (2001-06-18) My first attempt at "real" anime-style computer coloring. It was only after the "AnimagiC 2001" that I understood how to do it. I still need more practice, though. This picture is still incomplete. I will try to add a suitable background sometime. |
