Hi again,

time to post some more.. Have a bunch of stuff lying around so I might as well put some of it up here..?

This was made for a poster in the promotion of Anarchy Online, for stores, etc. It was also used in some magazines I think. Would be funny to hear if anyone saw it, and if so where.. :) Not sure where they used it really..

The character in the painting is a central character in the game, "Philip Ross", the supreme leader of the big corporation ruling the planet, over the renegade clan outcasts.. Okay, just a bit of background info for those who care, he he :)

Anyways, your comments or critiques are very welcome..!

two thumbs way up! i totaly dig this style, the contrast between the big bold strokes around the face/figure and the detail in the face is great! The town on shown at the bottom has great atomsphere too.

i really like it, but the hand looks really odd, like it has no knuckles, and the nails look like very feminine

. the fingers could also be a bit longer, everything else looks great

Really sweet atmosphere you have created on this one!! I love the pose of the guy too!

Is his fingers supposed to be short and Chubby??

yeah dixter good point, they look kinda fat and short. It's pretty minor though

Nope, actually wanting pretty much a normal type hand there :) Hands are hard to draw, hands with this kind of foreshortening and perspective -- even harder...! Check it out with a mirror... you'll see..

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming :)

Great Picture !!!

Only crtitic is the hand. I know it was already said but I just wanted to admit my opinion ^_^

With that degree of foreshortening shouldn't his hand be like, huge?

Man that is nice.. what strikes me is the power of the pose I think you got what you where shooting for in this. Wierd I never did see this pic in any AO coverage

Nice work Christer I realy like that face but I do have to agree about that hand looking strange.
I know hands are hard to draw though.
