New website!

Welcome

To the new and improved website for The Art of Corlen Kruger.

I have decided to convert my blog over to Word Press and with the help of my friend André Jacobs I can now offer my readers a better experience.

Coming soon! You will be able to buy those much requested to-die-for limited edition posters directly from me. So keep an eye out for when the shop doors open up.

The site is still undergoing some development so please forgive any glitches (especially posts from the old blog).

If you would like to get in touch with me, you can now e-mail me directly from this website.

Enjoy your stay!

Next posters inspiration

Okay so I was thinking I will share the process of my next poster, so the next one if you could not guess already from the pics, is ‘Night of the bloody ape’, I have been wanting to do this one for a while, but I am going to be making a few changes, first, the wrestling babes are going to be my focus on this piece, I almost want them to be the center of attraction, and the mutant man monkey the secondary attraction.
So next I will be posting some of the very rough pencils sketches and doodles and then some of the more refined pencil sketches, you will also see how the refined pencils change from the original roughs, sometimes its beacuse I found a better pose or the layout just works better, anyways check back later this week for rough doodles and sketches….cheers

Digital battle in action

Here are two pics of my work projected on screen during the digital battle.


Game Horizon Digital Battle

Hi All, sorry for the no-updates, but I have been swamped with work, but still had time for a little digital battle, here is a bit more info.
Game Horizon held their art battle competition at Dance City in Newcastle.

Eight contestants battled over three twenty minute rounds to see who was the fasted and best illustrator of the day.

At each round the artists had to complete a piece based on the brief and reference materials set by the panel of judges.
Half of the group was knocked out at the end of each round and the remainder went on to compete in the next round.

It was a good night overall with some free beer and a turnout of about 150. To cut a long and grueling take of battle short, the TV and design background of the judges favored Corlen’s superb iconic piece of design won him the trophy and prize!

So here are the art pices created in 20min each



jpeg troubles

Sorry I just noticed the jpeg compressed like ass, so sorry for the fuzzyness, I promice to upload a better version soon.
