Arne is right, haven't seen any new postings in a while. I'll be the first to admit, that 2013 has not been a good year and Im a bit frustrated with the industry right now, but anyways...Here are some boards I did a few weeks back and I was pretty happy with them.

girls...

wow... is it just me... or did this place completely die out?
guess the problem of most storyboard artists might be the fact, that you can't show your work until you already don't like it anymore...
so here is just one frame and a sketch of another one... from an ad-storyboard done a view months ago..
can't say much more about it..
well.. usually i don't work that "clean"... but on the other hand... i like drawing women!

Drawing object in 3D software

2012-06-18T09:28:00.001-07:00

Hi.. long time no posting.. :) i have storyboard project about watch and chocolate, and because the watch have more then 1 frames to draw, so i decide to make that object with 3d software, and render it with toon shader. i found it very helpful.

and when i have to draw glas, and chocolate, the 3d model help me to see the angle and composition. but i just use the outline, and color it manualy in PS. here is the example:

My version of the upcoming TV series, The Ultimate Spider Man

2012-03-16T21:10:00.002-07:00

Just thought of posting my latest artwork, which started off as a 'doodle' on animation paper, that eventually became a finished artwork!

I had so much fun working on this!

Enjoy!

Some sequential art to mix things up alittle....I hope it's cool with you guys.

Rough Pencils by: Alex C. Ragsac
Inks by: Joma Santiago

I know this site is for storyboards only, but with your kind indulgence, I hope you won't mind me sharing some of the sequential art pieces I have worked on for a comic book tryout.

I have to give props to my good friend, Alex Ragsac for providing me with some of his original rough pencil drawings. It really inspired me to try my hand in doing 'inks' on top of his work.

I had fun working on them, and this is a great way to practice my personal inking style.

Working with the Clients

2012-03-02T11:27:00.000-08:00

When I begin a project, I like to start with a loose thumbnail. After the client has decided the direction of the project, I create a series of small thumbnails. These helps by fleshing out the imagery in my head and eliminating compositional elements that are not working. During this thumbnail process I also research as much as I can on the subject and collect a good amount of reference relating to it.

Once I find a sketch that is working, I begin to push in the values. I feel that a composition relies heavily on the develop of the drawing. Here I can explore the drawing in more detail and tighten areas up with the aid of good reference. Ultimately, I try to stay loose while always looking for ways to push the drama of a piece through values. I really enjoy creating a strong drawing before I go anywhere. That drawing becomes an anchor for me, holding my whole progression together. In the end, what is most paramount is telling a good story throughout that process.

Quick Doodle to sharpen my drawing muscles.

2012-03-01T15:34:00.002-08:00

I did these quick doodles of my daughters while I was talking to a client on Skype. Strangely, this is how I focus on both my conversation and my drawing.

Again, drawing for love, and not for money.

Drawing for FUN!

Artwork that I did for fun....... and not for the money!

2012-02-24T05:03:00.003-08:00

This is one example of an artwork I did because I love to draw and not because I get paid!

I hope you guys send more of these stuff so we could all appreciate and celebrate our gift.

More power to you all!

"Will Draw for Love & Money"

Here's a couple sets of boards for a Hard Rock Cafe spot-- aired pretty recently so I think I can share.

The director had some really well defined notes and even had reference photos ready, so it made the job much smoother with few revisions:

Artificial Love

This is a page from my comic "The Tell". It's definitely the love part of my drawing day. (If anyone knows the secret to making money out of comics, please let me know ;)
Like with shooting boards, I often find myself drawing with a cinematic eye, and applying them to the comics page. Infinite layout options and no aspect-ratio requirements make it fun/challenging and a totally different animal though. (I love this animal~)

"The Sunless Circus: The Tell" Pg. 8

And once in a while comes the lucky opportunity of combining both the money with the love !

"Greedy Han" t-shirt design

Very curious to see what everyone does between these two motivations..!

Drawing for Love... or Money?

2012-02-18T06:21:00.000-08:00

Sometimes (most of the time?) we draw and paint for money, to satisfy our clients needs. Here are some layouts I did last week for a terrific client. I love working for them (and let's be honest, I don't mind the money ;^) Sometimes we draw and paint for fun -- for the love of drawing! Here's a piece I did yesterday afternoon, inspired by my 17 year old son, Simon's recent robot character designs. How about you? Show us something you did last week for money ... and something your did for love!

new portfolio/website

2012-02-16T23:46:00.000-08:00

hey there!

i finally managed to renew my website (or online portfolio, whatever you wanna call it). tried to keep it simple.
seems to be a bit slow on ie but should work fine on firefox and safary and whatever samsung uses on there phones..

take a look at reismueller.de

and to not only have text in this post... -here is part of a storyboard i did for opel last year:

Time slice sketches, storyboard for a game.

2012-02-10T04:49:00.000-08:00

Hi guy´s,

thought maybe it could be of interest, showing you a couple of rough boards done for a game project back in 2009. It is about describing a time slice, describing part of the action a gamer could have playing a certain level. Doing rough and quick sketches in storyboard form was fast way to previsualize the idea of the game.

Cheers, Eric

Just a quick sketch to loosen up my drawing arm.

Character Development

2012-02-03T19:30:00.000-08:00

I know these aren't 'technically' storyboards, but these are also essential to getting the final product finished, and these are what we call Character Development or Character Design, which is very fun to do!

I'm developing a 'basketball player' character for a 3D-animated short that we're developing. These are early character studies and I'm still a long way from the final look of the character.

Fun times all around!
