Vaute Couture Design Challenge: The El

2008-10-18T11:35:00.004+02:00

Another coat I entered in Vaute Couture's design challenge. This lady is going to her fashion editors job. In fashion like this you're never late!

Vaute Couture Design Challenge: The Vaute

2008-10-18T11:26:00.004+02:00

I want to thank Vautecouture.com and especially Leanne Hilgart for scouting me for their contest. My design philosophy is not exactly vegan and my artwork is probably not the thing for conveying the vegan message. I made it to their honourable mentions, though. Hit the button up right and cast a vote in their three coat categories!

It took me three quarters of an hour in Photoshop to can this lady.

Girl in black satin jumpsuit and little yellow gloves, pumps and scarf. The scooter is a retro design of my own.

Illustration Friday: Enough

2008-07-20T18:28:00.004+02:00

This Spider woman wishes she was born a centipede....
Never enough shoes, and only four legs to wear them.

Another one

Illustration Friday: Foggy

2008-07-11T16:33:00.004+02:00

Themes can actually quite pretty up the fashion items you want to illustrate. Here's a pair of boots in a foggy scene. Who's giving this lady a ride?

Woman in a little black dress in a shady watercolour.

Retro bathing suit

2008-06-28T11:29:00.003+02:00

I imagine this lady on deck of a giant modern cruise ship heading for some paradise island in the southern pacific. For this pose I specially designed the surf board-like chaissé longue.

Lightly packed

2008-06-26T20:57:00.004+02:00

This woman likes to travel lightly, but all essentials are packed! Glamourous boots and matching bag.

A bit strange

2008-06-26T10:23:00.004+02:00

Nowadays you don't see so many people smoking a pipe. Maybe it's one of the remnants of days long gone. I guess it's part of some kind of a very retro lifestyle. I just thought of it as to add a little bit of kink.

White and smooth

2008-06-25T18:04:00.002+02:00

work or pleasure

2008-06-24T18:27:00.003+02:00

That's the dilemma. Jazzy outfit combining tough jeans and a glamourous blouse and shoes.

bold and beautiful

2008-06-17T20:56:00.001+02:00

This one is inspired on the outfit of world war I fighter pilot outfits. There's the long white scarf and the leather helmet and goggles. The leather jacket has no (teddy) fur collar, instead it's made of a whole lot of tiny little ruffles and little flowers.

4 piece ladies costume

2008-06-17T18:03:00.001+02:00

This one is a 4 piece costume: shirt, wrinkled skirt and upper skirt and a little vest with matching boots.

This is going to be a place for me to express myself creatively. I'm not so much of a writer, but I'm a fanatic sketcher with a passion for fashion, industrial design and concept art. The Idea is to launch my visual ideas on a regular basis. I'm hoping to get feed-back from you, visitors. If you find this interesting, please don't hesitate to subscribe to the feed of this blog, so you'll get notified of new posts.

If you're wondering how I do these visuals, here's a list of tools that I commonly use:
Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter and Sketchbook Pro. My weapon of choice is the wacom intuos 3, a wonderfully sensitive sketch tablet.
