| "Im Fleischerladen", April 2003, 320x200, 8 colors
|
Otto Dix, a German painter who lived from 1891 to 1969, is one of my favourite artists. The picture on the left is a low-colour conversion of his painting "Im Fleischerladen" ("At the Butcher's") from 1920.

|
| "The Monostyle Scheusal", 16 colors, Oct.99-Nov.00
|
I once decided to paint some more original motives, but now it's the same old crap. Creating this piece took me a really long time due to my exams-preparation. It was used in a demo by CheckPoint.

|
| "Hope", 4 colors, May 1999
|
nothing would have been a more foolish footnote to man's demise than that his final destruction would have been occasioned by a war to ensure human rights.

|
| "Kiss Me!", 16 colors, February 1999
|
Full sucky mOd kopist style! Note that this is in 16 colors. It was used in CheckPoint's >SURE TRIP<. Besides, I am not fully satisfied with it. I just wanted to test another dithering-technique. As you might see, the try failed. Picture's from a fashion-magazine.

|
| "BinLiner Preview logo", 1 color, November 1998
|
Outline of a logo for >BinLiner<. Even the outline wasn't finished due to the canceling of the project. Nevertheless, I think you should see it.

|
| "Björk II", about 32 colors, October 1998
|
This is the second of an once planned three pieces picture-series showing Iceland's avantgarde-queen. Due to the fact that presentation was canceled, there's no third picture. People say this one's proportions are not right; I say: "So what?"

|
| "Björk I", about 32 colors, September 1998
|
Originally done for skipped British/German concept-demonstration >BinLiner<.

|
| "Jasmin", appr. 128 colors, August 1998
|
This picture made 1st place at Polish Quast '98 party. It shows the German techno-pop queen >Blümchen<. I got the original picture from the booklet of one of her albums.
The picture was also used in MYSTIC BYTES' demo >TearDrop<, released in August 1998.

|
| "Suspend", 16 colors, July 1998
|
Done for CheckPoint's >SURE TRIP< demonstration, original by Valeo. Strangly enough, two weeks after I finished this one I saw a competition picture by Made/Bomb from PC showing the same girl in black/white. Weird, weird...

|
| "aNikA's sUPERwoO", 16 colors, May 1998
|
This picture was used in Dynacore's intro for tSCc's MODULE COMPiL 15 "BASTABLON", which was released in late May '98.
The motive for the picture was found in a German fashion catalogue. Painting took me about 2 weeks. The picture's name can be found somewhere in it. Try to find it!

|
| "UnderCover Magascene Issue 12", 16 colors, April 1998
|
Back in January '98, I found a photo of this beautiful girl in a German fashion catalogue. Originally it was planned to be used in the RESURRECTION demo, but because the release-date of UnderCover came nearer and nearer and I hadn't painted anything for the loader of it, I decided to use it for the magazine.
Painting took me about 1 1/2 week. Please note that this are only 16 colors!

|
| "CheckPoint Logo", 16 colors, March 1998
|
This 8 colors logo was done for one of the forthcoming productions by German demogroup "CheckPoint".
I began with it at a little party in Dresden with the guys from Checkpoint and Escape. And as you know, I don't like it too much to paint during parties, the result is very bad. Just take a look to the left side...

|
| "RESURRECTION Logo I", 16 colors, September 1997
|
Surely my hardest logo ever done. My fingers where bleeding whilst painting it. Developing the shapes began in May '97 and I hated the pixel work for it so much, I only did some pixels from time to time. But after about 5 month of demotivated work it was ready. Whatcha think?
Dyna: I cannot read it, but the blackwork in the background reminds me of something...

|
| "RESURRECTION Logo II", 16 colors, July 1997
|
This was the first time I painted a face. I saw this woman in a German fashion catalouge (it was OTTO, if you like to search for it...). After some hours of shy painting (I did not know how to begin...) I realized that it looked shit but far better than I thought. The next morning I was so motivated, I just skived my lecture in constitutional law.
Can I tell you what bad conscience I had?!? ;)

|
| "SIX SIEVERT logo", 256 colors, April 1997
|
With its unusual size of 656x240 pixels, this crappy logo had to be scrolled in .tSCc.'s 96k intro >SIX SIEVERT<. You may realize what happens when a 16 color-artist paints the first time in truecolor. Nevertheless, >SIX SIEVERT< ranked pos. one in SiliConvention 97's intro competition.

|
| ".tSCc. Logo I", 16 colors, January 1997
|
When I joined .tSCc. in early 1997, I had done no graphics for them before. So this was my first graphic for the crew. I have to admit that I got hardly inspired by a logo for AMiGA-team "REBELS". (some of the more critical persons may call it a pure copy, but I wouldn't name it that way...;))

|
| "UnderCover Magascene Issue 8", 16 colors, oversized, December 1996
|
Remembering the time when I was painting this one is really horrible. After I did a pencil sketch of the logo, I drew a one color outline to the screen. Unfortunately this outline was bigger than the screen, but I thought it will be sized in some way later.
Hmm, this was a big mistake, because I never made a screen-fitting version of it. So it was nearly unusable for atARi. Eventually it was used in the intro for UnderCover 8.

|
| "UnderCover Magascene Issue 7", 16 colors, October 1996
|
This was the first picture in which I used that excessive dithering style. In some parts of it I got inspired by NikO/MJJ Prod. It was used in the intro of the magazine. Well, to be honest, I don't like it too much these days...

|
| "CREAM Logo", 16 colors, September 1996
|
This picture was done for issue 2 of the German PC-magazine "CREAM".
It was the first bigger picture I did after my very unproductive time at the army.
I hope that atARi-democrew "Cream" will use it some day in one of their productions... (at a time when Agent -t- is not doing gfx anymore?!?) ;)

|
| "TNB-Logo 20", Oktober 1995-September 1996, 320x200, 16 colors
|
The first logo in that "every straight line is a crime"-kind of style. Burned in TNB's intro for "UnderCover Magazine 8".

|
| "TNB-Logo 19", March 1995, 320x200, 16 colors
|
Very early logo that was done for a planned but never released production for the Fried Bits III party. Eventually it was released in TNB's top scoring "Lasse Reinböng"-demo two years later.

|
| "UnderCover Magascene Issue 4", November 1994, 320x200, 16 colors
|
This is the first picture with a Niko-alike dithering-style. Kopist Styler!!!

|
| "TNB-Logo 12", April 1994, 320x200, 16 colors
|
For this logo I got inspired by the works of a classmate. Not readable, therefor unreleased.
