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:

Oh man, lol, this is so cool, Uwe! I saw your post saying how you'd drawn the entire Star Wars epic, didn't think I'd ever have a chance to see it, so this is really great! Thanks for sharing it! :D

Wow, you had it all frame by frame--and the characters are recognizable! You were an awesome talent already. I have to say that Star Wars influenced me too--my husband looks a lot like Mark Hamill;-))
i-popba

Ohh WOW!! Thank you for sharing your memories and early art Uwe. Fabulous at least. I won my first (and only) award about that age too, A year art scholship. Seems that we all get diverted by lifes practical needs, like food and shelter which art alone won't supply. Please keep on sharing Uwe. Love it all. :-)

Excellent artwork! Looks like you spent a lot of hours drawing. It was well worth it!!

I see you were very prolific creating star wars stories. Those initial movies were so impressive and inspirational. Fantasy is the mother of the creativeness.

This is such a coincidence, Uwe! Just this morning I was ooohing and ahhhing over a huge manga story that a 13 year old friend of my daughter's has been drawing for over a year. Before inspiration came from Star Wars and this generation it's Kenshin, lol!! She's been doing it with a mouse and in Microsoft Paint! Amazing. These images are fantastic! You were an exceedingly talented child and I'm so glad you kept your earlier works. Love seeing what you did back then. Very well done!!!

Uwe, I always thought you were born with a gift and these images just prove that! In seeing these images, it is very very clear how dedicated you were in learning your craft. The amount of detail you showed then have become your trademark in everything you do now. Thanks for sharing!!!

It's true - you are a born artist! I love seeing this. You might have given up comic illustration, but I can assure you and your love for action and adventure and super heroes and villians is alive and thriving in adult work. Wonderful of you to share this withus. :o) CC

It's fascinating to see these early works. Children's art is always so fresh. I always encourage children to draw, not that they need much encouragement!

Even at the young age, you can see your talent shining through, as in being able to draw Vader and Skywalker at all angles. Wonderful work as a youngster and it's always fun to see people's first works.
