Description Trowa, Quatre, Heero, Duo & Wufei - Gundam Wing
"For just one evening a year, even war stood still..."

Merry Christmas, everyone! Have a wonderful holiday and some really relaxing and calm days!

This year I had the honor to contribute the artwork for the 24th in Akira´s Gundam Wing advent calendar . At first I thought about something really cheesy, colorful and christmas-y, but then I decided to do something more...well, fitting for the Gundam Wing universe and timeline. War times are hard times, and I doubt the boys would be able (or willing) to get ahold of a flashy christmas tree and typical holiday stuff, so...improvisation is the key to a simple, but successful Christmas eve.

Love you all, thanks a bunch for all the support this year.

This made me so happy. Look at 'em all. My gosh.Duo is especially adorable.  I love the color and how you dressed them all. Very much in character for them all.

Great pic What programs or tools did you use? Any tablets? I'm thinking about starting digital art so I try to collect some information^^

Thank you!
First of all, I don´t use a tablet. I do all my linearts manually, scan them (at ~300dpi, b/w mode) and then import them into Photoshop (Version CS3, but Gimp will do the same job). Then I use my mouse (simple usb-mouse without any special features)to do the coloration. :> It takes a bit of practise to keep all the lines straight, but then again - what kind of drawing technique doesn´t require practise? |D;;
Good luck with everything! ^-^

Oha Merke erst jetzt, dass du auch aus Deutschland bist!
Danke für den Tipp Dafür dass das alles nur mit Maus ist, sind die Linien und Farben so was von fein und sauber! Ich sehe, ich habe noch viel vor mir! *fängt an Maus zu quälen*

...oh. |D Das habe ich auch vorher nicht gesehen, ich antworte einfach immer stur in der Sprache, mit der man mir schreibt.
Viel Erfolg! Ich würde dir, wenn du mit der Maus arbeiten möchtest, eher ein raues (also stoffbezogenes) mousepad empfehlen als ein glattes aus Plastik, weil du da sichereren Halt hast. :3 Nur so als letzten Tipp.

this reminds me of an event in WWI: Christmas was celebrated between the French, German and Scots, war stood still... oh good, a film has been made of it: [link] it was sooooo beautiful!
