SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Christian Kindler

If during converting pics you get a colour change, then it's best to just try and edit the new version - change hue(fiddle) and saturation(lower).CPT is 'COREL PHOTO-PAINT', isn't it? Well in that case you should try directly exporting it from Corel PH-PT into JPG(or is that how you do it). Several windows should appear with loads of export options, studying them carefully should help. Your specific problem might alternately be lower colour depth in CPT. Try converting to BMP or changing colour depth, then converting to JPG? Just my two(2) cents... =) Nice gallery Some of the pencil pics are better than the coloured ones I feel (fi. scythe). It's v. hard to draw proper gods. Celestial beauty is hard to capture and often it's like earthly beuty in a different light. Keep it up!

Christian Kindler replies: "Oh...okay...It is definitely worth a try. Thanks!!
You're right about the celestial beauty thing...but my gods are modest...They are content with the way they are portrayed by their faithful "

Hey I think you are better in drawing weapons than people.. Because it looks so real, I meant the weapons. I am also trying to give my weapons a closer view.. But I discovered that I give it too many details.. You will see that soon in my gallery. But the one that doesn't try, does not reach the top.. Hmzz maybe I should learn how to translate sayings..

Christian Kindler replies: "Yep, that sometimes causes me trouble, too .
Thanks for the comment, I'll stop by at your gallery soon."

Hey! I like your style, I really like your drawings, especially the Group Picture. Their poses all look very natural and relaxed, even though the pictures aren't too realistic. Keep it up!

Christian Kindler replies: "Thanks!"

I like your style. Your swords are beautiful and looks so good- i especially like the way that you put both the pencil and coloured versions together. Yeah your waists are a little thin- but we can all dream- and they are goddess after all- i hope you dont mind i had a bit of a go at a flamer on one of your pictures- it just wasnt nice of him/her!!

*anyway have a pie*

Christian Kindler replies: "Thanks. Yep, my gods don't get much chance for running to fat. Being divine is a very strenuous activity. And I've got absolutely no problem with you taking on this litte brat (I suppose him to be). Always nice to have some support "

Im going to give you my honest opinion. You have some talent, but for a guy in college I just dont feel that you are at the drawing level a person your age usually is. Thats not a bad thing, but you are going to need some extra figure studies and a lot of practice sketches to catch up. I suggest you go ahead and do a study specifically on hands, human upper body proportion, cloth folds, and hair. You are ahead of most people when it comes to weapon design, and you have some beautiful works, but if you are going to improve the realistic effect of your weapons, you need to understand how they fit a person, so do a few sketches of people holding swords to get a feel for effective shapes. Keep trying!

Christian Kindler replies: "Thanks for your honest opinion. As I stated in my bio I'm just doing this for fun, not on a professional or too serious basis, so I’m perfectly fine with your notion and totally aware of this fact myself. If I had more time, I’d opt to follow your advice and turn those sketches in more realistic pictures, but until this happens, I’ll stick to my “not too realistic - slightly simplified - comic resembling”- style. Besides, some of these pictures were drawn in my pre-college-time (just as explanation, not as an “excuse”, of course ). Nevertheless thanks for stopping by and commenting."

in responce to the last guy and your responce, if you want to work with comic-ish anatomy, buy a comic and trace it until you draw like that... it doesn't actually take long, although it'll incline you to busty females with no waist and lots of hip. And it actually helps.
You don't need real things to develope a sence of shape - Mine comes from my friend's doodles and too many disney films.

Christian Kindler replies: "It's not that I really want to work with comic-ish style or anatomy. My point was that my drawings are just far from being “photorealistic” and I can live with that. Nevertheless thanks for the advice...and the comment, of course. ;-)"

Hmm trying to decide which is my favorite one out of them all, and it is tough because all of them are so good. I will have to go with either the dagger set or the mage blade. Very very nice designs.

Christian Kindler replies: "Thanks a lot ^^"

i really like what I see, you have a lot of talent.

Christian Kindler replies: "Thanks a lot! "

Whoa dude! SWEET WEAPONS!!
Wish I could do weapons as good as THAT!
Keep up the awesome work! *two thumbs way up!*

Christian Kindler replies: "Thanks a lot! But I think Morikoru Seregond's sword look pretty cool, too "

wow! your well good at drawing. I want to be an artist and hopefully be as good as you. I love your angels and sword and stuff....... ------- WICKED

Christian Kindler replies: "Wow, thank you!"
