TheHOINK - Professional Artist and his work

[TheHOINK]

Hello, there... ^_^

Some people have asked me about my art, since I am working as an artist and comic-artist for my living, working on my first adult comic right now.

Why adult, meaning mature audiences?
well, I like thematics going down to horror and erotic, and thus I have problems giving it to minor audiences.

In Europe we have no problems to show movies like "Basic Instinct" to persons at the age of 16, which means you are a "sexually grown up" and can decide what you do or watch as long as it does not pass the boarder to hardcore.

The same way around we are very concerned, especially in germany, about violence.
For example, buing a "Resident Evil" Game, you HAVE to show your identity card and have to proof that you are mature. Movies like "From Dusk Till Dawn", "Braindead" oder "Hellraiser" and sort are STRICTLY to be kept away from minors, and for example "Evil Dead" is cut and absolutely illegal in Germany.

So, if you want to make Art going to violence which is not surrealistic, you have to make it for matures.
Like, for example a lot of you know, "Spawn". The Movie was rated "Mature Audiences only" Comics like Spawn you can buy, but the movie you are not allowed to see. Strange, but true.

So, here are some links to some of my pictures, I hope you enjoy them.

To the moderators of this forum, I wish a nice day and I might ask a request, if not stretching the line and playing against the rules completely with it (yes, I did read them before posting, sure.)

I really like being commented, pictures, postings, etc.
No matter if it is "Yeah, I like it!" or "What the hell do you think showing of females like this?"
As long as it is not only a sentence without meaning, but a constructive criticism.
"I don't like it, BUT..." or "I don't like it, BECAUSE..." are always welcome to me as are requests for motives and questions about I am doing things or positive comments.
Since art does not pay off that much nowadays (like always in human history) a good compliment is like bread for a starving artists soul, you know?
Especially since I am doing it for a living, not just a pure hobby.

WARNING:

Some pictures might be offending.
I draw and paint what I like or what my customers are asking for.
I do NOT care if you are offended by surealism, Nudity or fantastic violence.
I draw my fantasies and customers wishes.
I use common sense and think, every picture should, as far as I know, be allowed for all countries.
IF you should find a picture that does seem to offensive, let me know and I will take away the link IMMEDIATELY!

I will never follow demands or requests for my more mature pictures.
I will never give in to showing Pornography or mature pictures in PMs or in this Thread, although I am drawing this like this.
To be honest, they are paying of the best, like stated in the wise words "Sex sells!"

So, enjoy! ^_°

This is myself, by the way, while playing in a deserted old factory. NO real guns or Rams, just Airsofts with a maximum muzzle velocity of 300 fps. NOTHING more is allowed or considered a toy in europe, to find a maximum velocity.

Self portrait called "Psycho Dad"
Just a fast sketch for evolving my comic characters. Sometimes it's easier to take faces you know and transform them a bit, so, nearly everyone I know has at least the role of a guest in my comics and pictures...

This is my girl as I do see her.
Vivian is part cat, part human, so, everybody who already is informed about my love for cats, fennecs, espeon, can figure out maybe how deep my love is going ^_^
Like I am saying frequently "I love women with furry ears and bushy tails!"
Hope the joke settles and feels good.

A double-portrait of vivian and me, done with simple pencils.
Measures 60x40 cm.

My Cutie at her best.
This was completely done with artists and graphic designers alcohol markers.
So you have to work fast and you have to know what you do.
Two hours of work for a picture measuring 40x60 cm.

A sketch for a surreal picture, the first one.
Measuring 29,7 per 21 cm, afterwards, after feeling satisfied with all the colours, I transformed and enlarged it to 120x90 cm and worked it out with airbrush colours from Schminke Horadam and a Japanese Rich AS2 Airbrush Pistol.

A picture of a good friend of mine.
This portrait was ordered by his mother and I feel quite satisfied. Some even say it looks like a foto, but naaah... hey, I was just drawing for two years when I made this up. ^_^
For portraits like this on DinA4 (21 x 29,7 cm) I normally take 40 Dollars, and that is VERY cheap compared to other professional artists, but I am just at the beginning of a hopefully god upcoming career.

Some of you might know the game "Nightmare Creatures 2" from Kalisto, the french software company.
It was released in 2000 and I feel quite comfortable about it.
It is measuring 29,7 per 42 cm (DinA3) and was sold for 120 Dollars.
Much?
No, it was 14 hours of work, I am using the best materials in colour I can get so my pictures do not fade out in a short time and I am doing it for a living, as I said, not as a hobby or for presents.

Classic surrealism like Escher was doing.

.. and classic nudity as I am doing. In german, this is called an "Akt", means the artistic painting or drawing of a nude, normally done to admire beautifull bodies and learning the basics about anatomy and shadows.
Pictures like these are considered "Erotic" and NOT Pornography, just to state it clearly.

So, that's it for the beginning, hope you enjoy it ^_^
Thanks for your time reading and watching.

 

[The Edge]

Whoah...your girl doesnt really have a beard, does she?
Just kidding
But seriously...this is some major art. Wtf are you posting this in a POKEMON FORUM, of all places!!! You could be selling this stuff man!! How much do you usually get per pic?

Wow...youre probably one of the best to ever post here.
Keep it up!

 

[Shrike Flamestar]

^To the above poster: he does sell it, it’s his living

Usually I don’t comment on art (I’m not a very good critic or commenter...), but I just feel as if I’m obligated to here

As I said before, your Psycho Dad character is awesome. Although, he looks a bit thin... It might just be the posture though. Vivian is cute, and hot as well I love the naked picture of her... You’re a lucky man

Lots of eyes in your surrealism pictures... The first one has a lot going on in it, and I can just imagine how hard it was to draw X_x

I love the hand of the silver haired monster in the Nightmare Creatures picture. Those are some messed up zombie-ish monster things, would hate to run into them in a dark alley.

Your portraits are quite good, and I especially like the two female ones at the bottom <_< I love her hair and, well, just guess

Um, I just thought I might warn you, however, that while nudity is allowed on here as long as it’s not purely pornographic in nature (which none of yours are), you’ll probably want to edit your post so as to link to them instead so that any younger people on here don’t accidentally see them. If you don't, a mod probably will for you.

 

[TheHOINK]

Tanks a lot for your comments, you two ^_^

I don't hope so.
Like Stated above, they are NOT pornographic in nature and just showing wahat nature and artists are ableto do *drool*.
When keeping away nudity and nature from them, especially while growing up, people often become frigid and are having problems with nudity.

On every TV-magazine cover you can see women in Bikinis and with open blouses showing the space between their breasts, so why not showing the whole body nude as nature created it, a little refined by the artists eye and the postet in a completely harmless way.

I like to say, "It's not the picture, whos bad, it's the viewer's thoughts about it."

And, ... why not sharing or posting pictures in a Pokémon Forum?
I also do this in my main Forum, an Airsoft--forum, where I have done more than 1.800 posts in the last 8 month.
Why?
Because I like to combine the things I do and like, and since some other people share the same interests, why not finding out?
Some people interested in Pokémon might also might bwe interested in drawing, and why not sharing and combining the shared interests?

And, by the way... my art is not the best in the world, I have just begun 4 years ago and am still improving.
I do have pictures from me hanging in Rome, Paris, Cuba, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, but only a few and only because i have some good relations to some people.
What a lot of artists forget about their success s to keep in touch with the ones they want to reach.
And these are people.

Not millionairs, not "Mäzen", not the "Real big spender".
It's people.
So my picture range from 40 for a portrait to 900$0 for the real big one with 90$ meaning including the frame, 45$ for the passepartout and the rest for the picture itself, which took 85$ of material and something like 80 hours of work.
Hans Rudi Giger "The Inventor of Alien" or Luis Royo, Boris Vallejo, Hajime Sorayama, they can take up to 5.000 to 30.000$ for a sinlg epicture, because they have the names.
I don't
But that's okay, like I said, I'm at the beginning ^_^

If the corresponding echo to this thread is good and the requests are there, I will post more.. (have a lot more, I asure you)

 

[Shrike Flamestar]

Eh, I guess nudity is more accepted in Germany than in the US, but here it seems like 90% of the population thinks that exposing children between the ages of five and sixteen to women’s breasts in any context is some big sin that will forever scar children (as you’ve said before, America is very screwed up indeed. I’m leaving as soon as I graduate from college). I just don’t want Serebii or anyone getting in trouble because of some uptight American mother that happens to look at the screen at the wrong time... Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they’re pornographic, but try living with my Mom sometime and you’ll see where I’m coming from and why I always keep my door closed

The other poster was just joking about being too good for here The thing is, most artists on here use a more anime-like style, and so realistic and professional art is a rare commodity here.

I don’t know if you’ve ever drawn Pokémon art before, but have you ever thought of drawing yourself with an Espeon? I know that if I could draw, I’d draw me with a Buoysel, Linoone, and Quilava...

 

[Kamileah]

Indeed professional artwork, I just have no words. The anatomy is so perfect, the poses and the hair...

I really have no words, you have heaps of talent.

 

[Shining Mew]

Regarding the nudity... in bold.

2. Artistic nudity is allowed under certain conditions. Always note that there is a difference between "artistic nudity" and "pornography". Artistic nudity is basically a picture that idolizes the body, perhaps in a drawing of a pregnant Pokemon. Pornography is showing off of private areas rather mindlessly that doesn't have much artistic value and aims rather to, er, arouse someone rather than give them eye candy.

Also, the "direct link your images" rule in artistic nudity is a MUST. The reason for this is if someone incidentally clicks on your link and right there in their face is a picture of nudity, which would be especially bad if they were underage. See what I mean?

;\ Please read the rules.
Editting the links.

 

[TheHOINK]

Thanks, Shrieke-Flamestar for your long explanation about censorship, but I don't get the difference between a mum sneaking behing ypou while scrolling through this page or seeing the linked picture.
I do not want Serebii or any other mod getting in trouble, neither this forum, that's for sure, but I wanna clear this first, before I take away the direct link (showing the picture here) for a link (which you have to click to see the picture).

Anyway, I did two Pokémon pictures already, one of Eploud which I call iXtraLoud (the german term for Exploud is KRAWUMMS, which I think is really funny... sound of a big bang) and one with all the Eevees called "Eeveelution".
I will load them up this weekend.
As I found out on the forum, Eeveelution seems to be a used term, I always thought it would have been my own idea.
But after all, the idea is not soooo far away.

And yes, boobies, a nice term.
Instead of nipples I prefer the portugisian word "mamilia", cause it souns so warm, tender and soft ^_^

Edit: Sorry, shining mew, I read it and just forgot about the second part.
Seems to be a big difference posting my stuff in european forums and here.
Anyway, I just, personally, do not get the difference between seeing it here or clicking a link.
Would be very kind of somebody to explain me the difference, just for me to understand the mentality better, and to learn from it, I really thank you for it.

 

[Shrike Flamestar]

Heh, Shining Mew beat you to the links. See, I said a Mod (or, well, an Admin in this case) would come and change them for you There really is no difference between embedding the image and linking to it, and there is still a risk nonetheless, but now at least kids that know their parents are uptight about that stuff have more warning and can be more careful that their parents aren’t around before they click the link.

Heh, Exploud is a neat Pokémon and it has a...certain feature...that goes nicely with my other interest (I’m sure you know what I mean) And, of course, I adore the Eeveelutions (who doesn’t?) so I’ll eagerly await your art of them and anything else you decide to post.

Hmm, I swear I’ve heard the word “mamilia” before somewhere... *Checks Wikipedia* Ah, it sounds similar to “Mammalia,” the scientific term for “mammal.”

 

[Shining Mew]

Basically what was said in that one paragraph... to some members, mainly the younger members and such, could be offended, dont see it as appropriate or not wanting to see something like that. Different opinions/ideas on the subject and whatnot. Just like how there are ratings and notices on fanfics that warns people of the writing content so they can skip a certain part if need be, material like this just shouldnt be thrown out there without a way to avoid seeing it if thats what the member wishes.

yeah D:

 

[KamonPedro]

There's really no difference... It's just so that you/Serebii can't be held responsible if some kid clicks the link knowing full well it contains nudity.

Nonetheless, it probably wouldn't stop some mom from b****ing about it anways...

EDIT: Beaten twice by above posters


On the art, though, I find it very good. Absolutely love it. The one of the guy(Is it you?) with the shovel, very stylised, its awesome!

 

[TheHOINK]

@KamonPedro...

Sorry for the shovel, but if you mean the second picture from above, that's me, yes, like stated in the text directly above the picture.
And the thing on my back is my short-sword, LARP-sword which I have been wielding for years.
And the other thingie is an axe, obviously ^_^

@all
Thanks for the explanations.
Especially the part with "Anyway clicking on it, already having been warned about the content" makes a lot of sense.
In germany I would have more problem with the pictures of "Nightmare Creatures 2" because you can see blood dripping from the axe.
Different cultures, different morals.
I'd like to get a mixture, not so rude about violence and not do "frigide" about nudity. Would be perfect for me. Moving to France maybe, I'm french anyway, just born and raised in germany.

 

[the_black_deoxys]

your style rocks and the 5th art left bottom i saw the movie and i like the movie so you rockzz ^_^

 

[Chatsy]

You have a great sense of anatomy and how to put them in the right perspectives - Of course, if you're to make a living out of it, it's to be expected ^^

I'm in love with your surrealism artworks. Particularly because the usage of eyes in such pieces are difficult to drag the viewer in - you managed to make the eyes hypnotising. I can't stop admiring the details as well.

The first of the two surreal pieces also has a lot of hidden motives. Those kinds are always awesome to view.

I adore Vivian. She's very beautiful and the way you shaded her is amazing. Your selfportai with Vivian also seems very flawless judging by the picture you first posted of yourself.

I'm amazed at all the detail of the portait you made of your friend, particularly with the hair. It does indeed look like an actual photopraphy.

The Psycho Dad piece amuses me somehow. I love the pose and how scrawny he seems, though XD

I'm not familiar with Nightmare Creatures, but nonetherless the piece is very nicely done. The person with the bandages on his face is very similar with the Psycho dad portrait, though. I think it's because of the hair.

Your classic nudity pieces are lovely and very detailed from what I can see. Again, I adore how detailed you made the hair - Photography material once again as well

It really is clear that you use professional tools to create these pieces, no doubt. Your creativity is also very good and you must have quite the patience to spend so many hours on getting every detail in every piece of your artwork. It's truly admirable.

And has it really just been four years you've been doing this? Wow!

I'm really looking forward to see your Eeveelution piece - Mostly because I adore those little critters ^___^

By the way - Yay for a fellow European! =D

 

[Dimitar]

Nice, we get a professional fan-artist. I hope you guys realize that not too many forums can brag about that. Those pictures are amazing. It takes someone with a very good sense of anatomy to draw pokemon well, and I think you are the man. I can't wait to see those pictures you said you were gonna make.

 

[The Edge]

... my art is not the best in the world

What I was saying is that your art is definitely something compared to a bunch of kids drawing made-up pokemon on the computer. Its a breath of fresh air.

 

[Clockworkz]

It's... Not bad. I wouldn't go so far as to say it belongs in a museum, nor would I personally buy any of it... It's just not my style of work. Also, unless you want your cat-girl reature to look like a bush baby, make the eyes smaller, and the face more defined (in the first shot of her, at least; compared to the work you did with the tits, it makes the rest of her look bad and draws the viewers attention away from the rest of the picture). I see some anime styled things; it's like you're trying really hard to do anime but it's more like, "Oh, wow; so close, too" and doesn't hit the mark (currently looking at the face in the phantasmagorical demonic picture; regardless of the fact that if I had the tools and patience I could do something similar, but this isn't a place to brag, it's a place to critique). The Escher-esque picture would be awesome if it was in a medium other than pencil (or is that pen?). The erotic images are nice from what I can see, but seems too light to make out clearly.
Keep on keepin' on.

 

[Mistynia]

This is some really good art. Very different to all that's posted here ^^ And your girl, Vivian, looks very cute!

Hey, your art is already good and you're still improving, you say? Then I would love to see your art when you improved more! ^^

Very good, keep it up with your art!

 

[The Edge]

Hey, i just noticed something. I went to look at the last to pictures again, for, um...*cough* reasons...The next to last pic doesnt have any hands!
Oh well not that big a deal...forgot to finish it i guess?

 

[TheHOINK]

Hello there... ^_^

I will come to certain questions later on.
As for the hands on one of the "akt pictures"... I just let them away, as an artistical "stilmittel", something like artistic method of styling something.
The face and the upper body it is I wanted to take the focus on, so I forsook (forsaken) the hands.

Time for a small comic.
Entitled "Little Death: Every first step is a hard one"
Enjoy ^_^

^_^ ("awww, cute!")
