A new website!!

Hi Everybody
I have been working hard on getting ready for the new year and I am happy to share my new website with you which is finally ready.. www.niklasandersen.com
Apart from that I have also updated my blog to niklasandersen.blogspot.com as many of you properly all ready have noticed. 

The reason is that I will go forward from april 2013 as an freelance art director and production designer for various clients and therefor need to establish my self more clearly under my own name.
If you already are linking to my site I would be very happy if you will correct it to the new address.

Thanks in advance and hope you will enjoy the new site and the changes I have made to my profile.. and I wish you a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas & happy new year!

A gift for a dear friend.

This panther drawing was made for one of my very good friends, who I wanted to give an artwork for a while, but never got to do it:-) But I got around to it and he got it while visiting me here in Belgium.

New Brush packages released

  

I am finally back with some new stuff on my brush website... :-)

It has been a while since my last product release but now I have had some time to get further into all the new features in photoshop cs5 and cs6. And through my research I have made 3 new exciting packages you can find more about on my website http://misterbirdstools.bigcartel.com/ and read more about below.

 The mix media tool package:
A package made for mix media artists who draws on paper and needs to correct or add details to scanned artwork in Photoshop. The package consist of a large range of pencils, that has been installed with colors which matches scanned artwork made with col-erase pencils and grey pencils.
The brushes has color dynamics that gives a larger ranges of colors in-between a light pressure and hard pressure.

I have also added some basic brushes that demands less processor power.
They are more simple and great to sketch up drawings, as well as doing correction indications with.

The watercolor tool package:
A package made to give you the freedom to do realistic watercolor paintings directly in photoshop. The possibility to create such advanced brushes came with the new photoshop cs 6.

The Paint artist package:
A package which is made for advanced wet paint artwork and mechanical pencil drawings.
The brushes are made with the new advanced photoshop cs5 brush system, and the brushes has color dynamics that gives a larger ranges of colors in-between a light pressure and hard pressure.

A little personal project I am fumbling around with these days which i probably will develop further in the coming month or when urge comes again:-)

 

"The two of us" Visual Development

Here we have most of the stuff, I have been working on lately for  my dear friend Christian Kuntz's project "the two of us", which is a short film about a cute little creature that lives on a little piece of planet, that is floating out in space under the big space highway where people throw out all their food trash like half eaten burgers and soft drinks which he catches in his fishing net.

But he is all alone and not aware how much he is missing a friend until one day a creature much like a dog appears on the planet, and then the good life and the troubles of relationship begin, and he must make a choice between the material world of beautiful trash collected from the highway and his new friend.

Enjoy the post and if you are more interested in what Christian does, you can visit his blog here 

The work is done in varies materials most are big ball point pen doodles i have gone over in photoshop and the blue is varies colors of col-erase pen's.
