“In the small and unknown country of Alpenland lives and toils the deer man. In a neighbouring valley a father and his son spend their summer vacation with camping and hiking. Silently the two worlds collide and before the son understands what happened, he finds himself in a situation where he has to save his father from the belly of a wild mushroom monster. The boy makes friends with the deer man. Together they attempt to save the boy’s father.“ Alpenland is a manga project by Bernie Schulenburg.Tumblr (3.0; @alpenland)http://alpenland.tumblr.com/<p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/9253e2018d1f75e7a4dd55a7367fe99d/tumblr_inline_mmy79fVGI31qz4rgp.jpg"/></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/9b14ad5be1964442c521228d538840bd/tumblr_inline_mmy7demYWS1qz4rgp.jpg"/></p> <p>Two new zines to order: <em>Concept Drawings from Alpenland</em><span> </span><span>and</span><span> </span><em>Concept Drawings of an unreleased Alpenland Trailer.</em><span> </span></p> <p><span>(send me a message @bushghost) or get the digital copies here:</span></p> <p><a class="gumroad-button" href="http://gum.co/pycU">Concept Drawings of Alpenland</a></p> <p><a class="gumroad-button" href="http://gum.co/rwrp">Concept Drawings of Alpenland Trailer</a></p> <p>If you&#8217;re in Vienna be sure to go to the Make.a ZINE fair next week at the Künstlerhaus.

The left one I drew first. I showed it to a friend and she immediately told me that the stones on the stairs are not believable. Also the bowl looks like a fruit bowl, but intended to look more like plants in a bowl-shaped pot. Maybe because they grow too high, so they’d need deeper roots to be believable. Also she didn’t recognize the background as a window and a wall. I drew the scene again, trying to fix those issues.</p>http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/50287425066http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/50287425066Sun, 12 May 2013 22:59:42 +0200alpenland<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2109746f1a838af1add97a7bc1962d20/tumblr_mjhjskXjWm1r8fj6to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>submitted this to the Ghibli Jam.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://ghiblijam.tumblr.com/">http://ghiblijam.tumblr.com/</a></strong></p>http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/45098129760http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/45098129760Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:36:20 +0100tangentialother drawings<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ebf7109c1443a96168bc685b12cbc02a/tumblr_mfwop8l96T1r8fj6to1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Sunset over the Deerman’s valley</p>http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/39316056696http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/39316056696Mon, 31 Dec 2012 18:33:00 +0100alpenland<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9abpgE9a71r8fj6to1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Concepts for the upper part of deer man’s tower home.</p>http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/30135822401http://alpenland.tumblr.com/post/30135822401Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:29:00 +0200alpenland<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m95ypvwS0a1r8fj6to1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The boy spends autumn and winter with the deer man at his tower home.
