Very, very nice. I really like the bottom half of the image. The people in the town and the town itself are rendered in an awesome style. I'm not sure about the grafitti--seems a bit illegible (?). Is it a watermark of a sort? Overall, you Liquid guys make me sick

And with flushgarden in your ranks soon (correct me if I'm wrong), I'll hate you guys even more

Amazing! I like it a lot. Especially the combination of styles�

Another LIQUID member... hmm, not too many left to tempt to the sijun boards

Your work is greatly appreciated here Jim. That is some fine detailing you got going on there!

... I was never able to read graffitti though... so I'm missing something

<swedish>
hehe, tjena . det e jag som inte fick n�t jobb hos Er

s� kan det g�. eh.... graffitin passar inte riktigt in i piecen, �vre delen passar till en piece. men att den forts�tter sen....bokst�verna borde ha varit pure old school

mer detaljer i bergen i bakgrunden, f�r nu ser dom ut som stora isblock..

snubben som h�ller lycktan har ett snett ansikte, perpektivet st�mmer inte riktigt in med huvudets riktning....snubben som st�r upp e lite inspirerad fr�n sk�nheten o odjuret ser det ut som

annars e det en v�ldigt sjysst bild </swedish>

nice....like to see more...

that is soooo cool

would it be possible to get a look at at bigger version? or perhaps just a zoomed up portion. The detailing looks fantastic

And what about that Liquid thing?

Great piece!!

I'd love to see more of your work!

Correct me if I'm wrong but you are THE Jimmy in the swedish graf scene? If that's so I've got a picture of your awesome backpiece you had at the Jam in Uppsala (Gottsunda) in '92 or something

'nuff respect

Very impresive...dont you have a site?? i would really like to see more of your stuff!

Jim70SWE · Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2001 2:19 am

wakestarr!: You�re correct, I was there and wore a backpiece, so I�d love to see the picture, bring it up...

...No, I don�t have a homepage of own, but you can allways go to "www.liquid.se", at the moment I have not put any pictures there, It�s the homepage of the company and you�ll find one of TOM71SWE... It will uppdate from time to time.

Love the incredible artwork in the bottom half of the page. Not too sure I like the graffiti/logo thing. Looks out of place and clashes with the fine art look of the rest of the piece.

As for the Liquid thing, I checked out the website (nice stuff, btw) - you're not the same Liquid! that works on BattleChasers, are ya?

Jim70SWE:

missf�rst� mig r�tt !

ddet �r en fet bild...men du m�ste ju h�lla med om den d�r snubben me lycktan...eller s� har han ett snett huvud

fet bild, o det vet du sj�lv ! mer s�nt h�r...hehe...

forts�tt !

Jim70SWE · Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2001 6:22 am

Inga problem, du har verkligen r�tt g�llande huvudet. Det r�cker med att ta bort det h�gra �rat och perspektivet skulle se r�tt ut. Detta �r ett konkret fel, g�llande �vriga synpunkter kan jag inte kommentera eftersom detta grundar sig p� tycke och smak, och det �r upp till var och en. Uppskattar din uppriktighet! :-) Tack...

Okey, I'll scan it this weekend and post it here. However, I don't recall how good/bad the photo is...

MonkeyBoy · Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2001 8:43 am

I realy like the rendering of the town and figures in the lower left. Use of colour and sugestion of form/level of detail is, IMHO, well chosen; however, the forground figures lack the same grace in addition to having some lightsource issues. Combined with a lack of overall direction of coposition (or rather a solid composition obscured by a few poorly placed promanent elements). You might reconsidered (as others have mentioned) a Logo that works with the pictoral, in addition to removing or repositioning other background elements (Tower/Dragon). Considering your obvious ability, you would be well served to work these problems out in rough comps.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more.

Take care,

Rhysling

Hey Jimmy,

I found the picture and scanned it. However, it was quite a crappy picture..

Anyways, here it is:

Backpiece by Jimmy in 1992(?)

/wakestarr

Jim70SWE · Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2001 10:58 am

Hm...

Okey, it�s mine. Started up doing the backpiece some time during 1990, but I didn�t finish it until late 1991 because of lack of time.

Wyatt Turner · Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2001 11:11 am

Oh Oh Oh shit.. Damn man you made me mess.

Very cool, only thing a little dark for me.
but don't listen to me. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

And I could do with out the gansta text.

Cool shit man.

...I know, it�s a bit dark! You should see the first print, I did look at the "croma" (not sure about the term, anyway its a kind of a digital testprint) and it all seemed to be allright... but no, the printed cover was a disaster, no details were no longer visible. I did tell them to be very careful and that I wanted to see a paper-test-print before the printpress started up. No testprint but a few days later I got the cover. :-(((
It�s a long way between WYSIWYG on the screen and the final paperprint, thats the reason why I only work with computergamegraphics...
