Christian Andreas Steimel

Well, what to write? I´ve always loved to draw, paint and make models, to an extent that I first applied for graphic design studies. Being turned down, I switched to learning some 'real' job (english literature studies... REALLY!) and hone my artistic skills as a hobby.

Nowadays, I mainly work in 3d computer graphics and 'real-life' models, being pressed into greeting card artwork production every time my parents need these... ;) Recently, I got Photoshop and am totally hooked for the great FX you can do, especially in compositing; I´ve dumped my CorelPaint for it, but still stick to 3DsMax for cool models and paper cutout models.

I´m a more into SF, since most Fantasy (except for Tolkiens setting) appears implausible to me (too much magic). A bit incongruous, I know, but hey! I´m an artist! Artists have to be eccentrics, that´s the best part of it! I best like military SF, with tanks, powered armours and stuff, and so most of my art subjects run along these lines.

Hallo du kalif von kalau wir muessen mal wieder zocken (gelbe einmachdosen knacken); ) 21 Jul 2005 Webster Loading... Wow, i really like your drawings. I draw spaceships 2, on a program called wings3d. Btw, where did you buy that 3dsmax program? 12 Oct 2005 Aaron Weaver Loading... Your stuff looks pretty good. I have to work at sci fi and fantasy stuff, thats why my gallery grows so slowly. Sci fi is a bit easier but fantasy is hard. 26 May 2006 Joshua Price Loading... I like your spacecraft alot. It looks very Escape Velocityish and tempts me to ask if you'd be willing to do graphics for a Escape Velocity Nova total conversion I'm doing, despite the fact its far from ready for graphics and why would you want to do graphics for some random guy out of the blue? Don't see much sci-fi here at Elfwood, and this is certainly a refreshing change. Keep it up, I'd like to see more of your spacecraft work. Christian Andreas Steimel replies: "Dear J. (Jay? ;P), I´m afraid that I don´t know what "Escape Velocity" is... a computer/video game, I presume? Whatever, I´d be happy to contribute to such a project, but I´ll only be able to supply pixel graphics, maybe 3d models and animated gifs. I´ve also done a number of Pics for a D20 supplement hopefully to be released this year, as well as numerous T-Shirt designs and greeting cards, so I´ve got SOME experience in commisions. Please drop me a line via E-Mail and tell me what you have in mind." 11 Nov 2006 Isaac A. Gallegos Loading... This is a very fun gallery. i plan on commenting on almost all of this. At the moment this page has been bookmarked. Again, sweet gallery. 13 Mar 2007 Me Loading... That is so good, i looked at al of the work! you got really fresh ideas about space ships and stuff. I saw 1 or 2 ideas that i had myself (before looking at this) and it's all original keep it up, mail me if you ad more of that 3d work! 10 Jun 2008 Dave Cripps Loading... I have been here before. I remember now. I may be back in he future... that could be a threat...
