Hey, long time no posting.
On this one, we were 3 artists working on the same picture....Me (Joachim), Micke and Chester.
It was done in one day, or two days including the different concept sketches -so, it has some composition problems, but we hope you like it anyway

Whow 3 kings on the same cake! Awesome!
Who did what?
The top right character is my preferred and the central with the sword too.

team effort!.. cool Something I've never doen before.

Looking really good! How did you cooperate? Everybody working on it at another time? Or did you use a special programm to work all at the same time? Something like network-paintchat?

S4Sb · Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2002 8:46 am

Oh, and is there a wallpaper version of it? Or at least some detail shots?

I'm guessing that Micke did the top left third, Chester on the right hand third and Joachim on the bottom third? Or am I totally wrong?

Great work guys

hmmm my guess: Chester the right one,
joachim the left and mike the one on the bottom = righty right?....

Actually I would say that each of you did different characters in each tile
but I think they melt together very well, especially for a one day work!

I like's it! It would be a great
bedroom poster.

Nice pic, is that going to be the cover of a magazine or something? Looks cool anyway.

Thanks for the comments!
Everything was based one one very rough Concept sketch that Joachim did.
We split it up in three pieces and finished our given sections of the picture. My section was the upper left part(The wizard, hooded girl with the magic balls and the crowd in the background, Joachim did the right section with the Phanu-Draka and the demon/Vampirea. Chester worked on the lower part(Barbarian, Amazon and Templar, but all in all we all worked on the whole picture. Once in a while we put them together to see how they matched and we went through each others sections..
It was done for a poster btw. None of us would had the chance to finish it on our own
if we would'nt have teamed up.
It was a rush job, but fun anyway

Maybe Chester or Joachim could tell you more about how this was done..

Ahh i hate (read: envy) what you guys can do in a day. really dig the R/G/B color section separation, great concept and execution, works well!

Shaded · Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2002 4:49 pm

Micke, Joachim - the two of you have one of the most unique styles Ive ever come across. Its a terrific mix of cute and upperclass. Im not sure Ive ever had the opportunity to see Chesters stuff, though. Great stuff nonetheless, keep it right up!

Dang that's good. Cg and all! This mey be a stupid question, but... Is this an illustration for a book cover?

Highfive · Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2002 5:16 pm

Best example of team-work we've probably even seen. One day? Unbelievable!

J. Tsang · Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2002 6:51 pm

amazing!!
i love it

Anthony · Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2002 10:57 pm

I think the most remarkable part of this pic is how your styles match up well enough to work together in a single pic without worrying the viewer. Awesome.

aaaw! this rocks!

no crits

you guys need to start an official fan club!

Freddio · Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2002 1:16 am

nice work guys,

I dig all the different characters

BooMSticK · Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2002 3:37 am

Very nice! I think it's safe to say that this is not the best work any one of you have done, but the fact that this was done in one day is very admireing. Good work!
,Boom

S4Sb · Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2002 5:54 am

How did you match the colour scheme so very well? I would have been sure that this piece is from one artist only. Great!

Isric · Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2002 6:37 am

Beautiful work lads. You've given me a new standard to live up to, as always. Your my heros, for real. I'm not joking.. ~heros~

Spectacular as usual guys, your work is always like a Christmas present.

There was only one tiny thing that caught my eye.. one of the guys on the right has like a 48-pack in place of his pecs

I dunno if that was intentional or not, but having stomach muscles all the way up your chest sorta freaked me out.

Other than that tiny little thing (which may not even be a real issue) it looks incredible. Just to clarify who I am talking about:

Great work!

It's gorgeous. I love the vague shapes of the distant army, as well as the blue hues used at the top of the image.

Very cool work! You guys make a great team.
