BIO
Short Bio: Fantasy Artist Uwe Jarling was born in 1968. After graduating with a diploma degree in graphic design 1991 he worked as a illustrator and graphic designer further on. His first works were countless covers for videos, books, ... and many technical and architectural illustrations for advertising agencies. An important step in his further development followed in 2000 where he started to develop his "Fantasy Artwork" more seriously and did his first attempts creating his art on a computer. Since 2003 almost all of his work is painted digitally for clients all over the world mainly in the Fantasy Art genre. Uwe lives and works in a little village in the south of Germany. Tools used: Fantasy Artist Uwe Jarling is a traditional artist using traditional media like oils, watercolors and mainly gouache, but the last years he did the step into creating his art digital. The last 3 years 98% of his images are created using digital tools. Uwe experimented with several digital tools 3d as well as 2d. For 3d he experimented with 3d max, Poser, Vue, Bryce and more nice 3d applications, but as it doesn�t fit him too well he decided to work mainly using 2d digital tools. For his 2d digital images Uwe uses mainly the software Painter, currently version 9, so most of his paintings are now done with Painter. For color corrections of his images or several effects Uwe uses Photoshop. All his latest images are done using Painter 9 and some Painter 9 and Photoshop CS in combination. Uwe currently �paints� on a Macintosh G5 using a pressure sensitive Wacom tablet.
Uwe was voted for January�s 2006 Renderosity Artist of the Month. Read the AOM interview here:

Very well done! Excellent!

I think the texturing really brings it to life--you can have the best of both 2d and 3d this way, a model that you can rotate and light, and the beauty of the brushstrokes!

Uwe, that looks amazing, a great blend! Is the base figure your M2 scuplt? and were you successful in applying your morphs in poser? If so, I'd really like to know how you did that :)

Thank you all so much for all your positive feedback, I’m really glad the piece worked somehow :-). blbarrett – it is indeed a M2 basemesh again, but not the sculpt I did. No I wasn’t successful applying the morph. I really got a lot of help and some different ways to do it. But somehow it just doesn’t work well. I got the morph into poser but it just looked wired when I applied it. I also tried to modify the cr2 file to the new mesh, which seems an extremely easy way to do it but something’s wrong with my mesh I fear as the figure just doesn’t appear in poser :-(. However I really appreciate all the fantastic help I got and I learned a lot. I mean I now even know what a cr2 file is and can modify it. It’s not a big problem that I’m not able to bring the mesh back into poser. I just do another morph with the M3 figure and I won’t have any problems to bring it back to poser ;-). And really I’m pretty fast at sculpting when I have a base mesh and just need to modify the anatomy to my needs. So a new sculpt with M2 will probably take around 2 hours, trying to bring the M2 morph working correctly will take me much longer, so I will go and just make a new sculpt. If it works well and bends well I’ll probably get it to the marketplace for anyone who is interested :-). Again thank you all so much for all your help and support, you are fantastic!!!!

How can you look at this and think it is 'nothing special'??? This is so much better than the orks that were used in 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy of movies! You are so incredibly talented,(the word "gifted" comes to mind). This is quite similar to what I envisioned the orks to look like when I first read Tolkien's books back in the 70's.
