Waiting for Spring to Come

Just two little illustrations that I made a few weeks ago (for a pharmaceutial company that sells clinical nutrition). Nothing very special, but I never really made a similar illustration so it was a bit of an experiment, too... I used ballpoint to make a kind of a very light grisaille and then colored it with watercolor. Easy-peasy... Only, I didn't find any of my black ballpoint pens, so I had to use a blue one.

It's still very wintry over here and I'm so much longing for Spring and Summer.

I made these simple collaged illustrations yesterday.
But the customer didn't like them. :P

A Poster

A poster that I made for an old movie, Andrzej Wajda's Landscape After the Battle, and some sketches for the same.
This again was a school assignment.

Aliens

Last semester we had to "design" aliens, supposing that we discovered a new planet with life.
My creatures have powerful antennae in their bodies thus they can receive any wavelength in the whole universe, over any distance. Their favourit place to "receive" is Earth. They love Earth's culture and painting (especially Baroque).
They have no real skin. Instead, their body is covered mostly with small ledlike cells. Thus they can simply (with just a thought) project any picture on their body. The above ones project paintings found in Earth's museums. Funny thing, but they can somehow feel what these paintings are all about and the pictures they project on themselves somehow reflect who they are. But of course they can change these "chlothes" any moment if they want to.

Calendar

Earlier I posted already three pages from this so-called calendar. We didn't have to construct a real wall calendar out of the images, but rather a posterlike sheet so that we can display them at year-end exhibition.

An illustration

A small illustration that I made for a spread of my women's weekly magazine. You can see more of this magazine here.

Impossible triangle made of impossible cubes

An illustration I made for a school assignment. Not a big deal but I still like it. It was not easy to figure out how the whole thing would work out.

Calendar

These are three yet unretouched versions of pages from a so-called calendar that we had to make last year (at school). All we had to do was make abstract representations of the twelve months. Actually I scanned these montages that I made from pages of an old stock photography catalog called Taxi (I think it's from Getty Images). As I told before I somehow love paper montage even though it might look somewhat childish, amateurish or simply old-fashioned. Once scanned and printed, they look more polished than viewed in reality. The above representations are January, February and October, respectively. In October 1956 we had a revolution here in Hungary, that's why I didn't make this month into a simple Autumn scene but made it a bit more stressful and more warlike. Otherwise I simply made compositions in color and line (the edges) that made me feel the flair of the respective months.

Spoon III

After the marks we had to make illustrations about the chosen object.
