Mustermatt

Animation

Mustermatt by Johann Schehl

A friend of mine started a new Youtube channel about chess problems. It is highly recommendable if you speak German, because his analysis is very good and it is worth watching. The animation is pretty limited, as was the budget ( I did half of the work for free, because I really like chess).

These were the basic ideas/ sketches:

and a little additional animation

Tante Alma

comic

I have been working for the new hotel chain Tante Alma Hangout (https://tante-alma-hotels.com/). The idea iss that these hostels have a story about being owned by a fictional character called Aunt Alma, who is kind of a female Captain Blaubär, meaning her stories might be made up but who knows. perhaps Tante Alma was the first human on the moon, the inspiration for James Bond, a famous opera singer, racing driver, and the woman who Jimi Hendrix stole his licks from….

It is great fun. This is the first comic strip I made for them. Apologies to Yoko Ono….

These are the sketches:

Expedition Erdreich

Animation, Uncategorized

I designed this character for Expedition Erdreich for Raketenfilm, Berlin. My working title for this: Tasmanian Hamster.

It started it´s life as a squirell. The client rather wanted a hamster.

Here is one of the finished films ( Ididn´t do the animation, I just designed the character and provided some of the handdrawn stuff).
