I think the most of them are master peaces of digital art. Yesterday I thought: Worth a try. Here is it. The car is a free stock-render from the internet, "pimped" and I make it fit into the environment. I think the result looks quite good. Maybe a references for those who search for "CGI-Freelancers". http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=65 Hey guys. Here's me again after my great holiday. When I came home I got a mail from a guy called Mathew. He asked me to be featured artist on "the untapped source". At first I asked myself what the hell the untapped source is. So I read some information on the website.   A short sum for the readers: The untapped source is a special kind of shop where you can buy artworks of artists. The clue is that the artists get a lot money and the owner of the untapped source are making only a little profit. I'm really appreciate such projects and here is also a commendation to the owners: the great design makes you really enjoying the visit!

It's really hot there, but tell me: Where isn't it atm? I think it will be very funny, and I hope won't get burnt of the sun too much. I wish all visitors a nice summer and see you in 2 weeks. Simon http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=62 I decided that I need a new desktop wallpaper. So I made one u c. At the beginning it wasn't made for being published, but I decided to after a long time of no releases. I was inspired by 7shadows and have to mention, that he's a fuckin great artist. I used stocks from shutterstock.com and scxu.hu. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=61 A few time ago the new Depthcore art-pack 'Empire' was released. Depthcore is one of the biggest abstract-art communities. Once I was a member too. But because of my long time in-activity I'm out now. The pack consists of more than 80 works, which show us the great variety of abstractionism. I really like the different developments the artists are walking throught. DC shows other artists new styles and gives them inspiration. With every DC-Pack a new mile-stone in the progress of abstract art is set. Above you can see a small part the picture 'Empire', created by Theo Aartsma. Only one piece of a lot that shows the genius of the guys who are relating there pictures there. In my opinion there could be more oldschool abstract, but I have to realise, that I'm one of the last followers of oldschool abstracts. Cheers. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=60 I often wanted to make a photo of this plant - now I did it. Like the black & white result a lot! http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=59 A few month ago I got a mail: I should be spottet artist in the Forbidden Wispers Magazine. I ask myself: what a magazine is that? So I surfed their Website and found out that Forbidden Wispers Magazine is a Magazine for digital artists, about the scene and about the technics. This one should be the 3rd issue of this magazine. It's a magazine you have to pay for, either get a printed version or a pdf version for selfprint. When I got the magazine I was overhelmed: I got 4 Sites for my own and I was really the spottet artist: First gallery-sites with panorama-views of my pictures. Thats my first press release and I'm really proud of being mentioned with pretty amazing artists in the same magazine. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=57 This is the first part of the AntiWear fashion serie. I'm trying to create fashion that has style and looks a bit crazy. I'm looking forward to the next one... http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=55 I wasn't really content with the blog-design, so I decided to redesign it.

I wish you a nice stay, ... http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=54 I'm a proud member of mcxu.com - a german digital art community, consisting of special members.

I read a lot of critics before I watched the movie, so I knew what will come. At the beginning the movie is some kind of confusing. A mafia-member should be the principal witness to blow the wistle on the mafia. They engage a killer to erase him. A lot of other killers knew about the million that is set out on the heart of the principal witness. A rat race beginns between these killer. A funny, overwinded story with a (more or less) surprising ending and some amazing jokes, worth the money. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=48 Slowly it becomes serious: The exams to finish school are in approx. a month and I haven't learned pretty much yet. I don't make myself having stress - but the others do. Most of the have already began to learn some stuff. How will this end ? But another topic: I'm sure what I'm going to study after school. The subject was an important question for me the last time that didn't let me calm down. Now I know what to study: Bio-Informatics (Don't know if this is the correct english term, but I hope you know what is meant). It is very relaxing to know what to do. Maybe I have less head-ache now :/ Hope with me! http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=47 A new design made for the company jufu.net. The design should attract gamers and young people so I decided to make it in dark colors. Enjoy! http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=46 Yesterday I had the best working Sheesha ever. I got a smoke with a density you can't imagine. Used a new methode, the so called 'teelight-method'. My brother gave my some real noble tabacco last sommer but it burnt everytime I tried to smoke with. So I decided to create a ring of the cassing of a teelight to create more room. So I was allowed to fill the head like every time, but the coal doesn't touch the tabacco. It worked well you see =) A lot of kingly tasting smoke was the result. Now the bad news: Had to stay away from school today. Since a week I have had a lot of headache. I normally have more headache then others, but so much ? Really depressing. I hate headache as much as the pest. Hope that it will stop soon.

The community contains a "small" amount of high-level artists (if I can call me and the other artist like this) . If you want to join the community you have to send your admission on the offical site, to get access to the member area. It is worth a try, how I told you - a lot of very talented artist are going to help you and give you different kinds of typs.

Note: It isn't the picture I tould about with the walkthrought. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=43 Poker: one of my big passions. A great game which is often called a game of luck. In the main it isn't. You can calcute the propabilities and only play with pod odds and the knowledge about your chances. That's my kind of playing. There are rules you have to follow, and think about your partner, try to be the partner and think like him. At the moment I'm writing on a programm which calculates the chances of every figure you can reach with your starting hand. Would be nice if I could realise that (I would surely share it with you) but it is very complicated (I'm interested in the calculus of propabilites but it is very hard) If you have a party poker account, add me to your ICQ contactlist and there's no problem to challenge me. Cheers, Simon http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=42 I have a really bussy time at the moment. Much client work and I started to learn for my exams, so despite here are vacations I really work a lot and have no time to finish the mentioned picture. Keep on visiting my site. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=41 This is the site for my final secondary-school examinations I will make in a few month. I made this design for the open source code phpBB. The design is in fresh attractive colors, but view at your self. Releated links: abi-mania.com http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=40 Ohh don't have any time at the moment to release some different stuff (trust me I have a lot here). Have a lot of work with learning for school (I'm going to make my exams in a few month) and I'm not really vital at the moment, so... Cheers! Ps.: Thx for the comments guys. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=39 You maybe noticed that I have uploaded all my picture now. Now I hope for a lot of comments, I'm a bit sad because there are only a few comments :( Would be a pleasure to me if there would be more. Another topic: Working on a new picture at the moment, and I have a surprise for you: I'm going to make a walkthrought or rather a walkthrough of this picture! So you can look forward to its release. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=38 This picture was on my HDD when I had a long period of inactivity. I often asked myself if I should release it or not. Finally I reworked some parts and released it, so here's the outcome. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=37 New World Energy was made in Cinema4d only (excepting the composition of the 3 parts). It was a kind of practice with HDRI Maps. The picture shows a kind of battery, consisting of solar-cells. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=36 I tried to make this picture less realistic, more fantastic. I kept the scene bright and made it look like a smudged dream. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=35 I made this pictures in protest to the new abstract art and the appeal to go back to the roots. Big Bang points back to the beginning, to the oldschool. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=34 Found this little lost guy in a cave of leaves, he seemed to be very small and alone there. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=33 One of the many pictures I have made for Depthcore.com. This was for the 20th art pack "Voodoo". I like the result a lot. http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=32 My 4th Daily Deviation. Quotation: "Peace Negotiations by *en-tyrael is not only a powerful render but it makes one stop and think about a very pertinent subject that affects us all. (Suggested by *Destiny952 and Featured by `bluespeed9)" http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=31 My most popular picture and in addition my 3rd DailyDeviation. "The dark night befalling the black ocean, the tumlting sea shimmering from star light as the cold winds whips waves against the steel hull of the oceanic habitat. It's just the calm before the storm, deafening thunder and fatal clouds rolling closer as the birds make their last round around the big black dome. And then, all hell breaks lose! Storm is a striking scene in an incredibly realistic looking environment by german 3D artist *en-tyrael.  (Featured by $spinegrinder)" http://www.simonschulz.de/index.php?site=blog&id=30
