Hey there. Been unactive here lately. I'm playing lotsa warcraft3 so I don't have time for anything else

but, here are some paintings for the same game as I've posted from earlier and also micke posted his from recenlty. I hate some of these, but we have to paint a whole lot of them quickly so it's not always time for nitpicking. Hope you like some of the anyway....

Those cave pics just rock! I especially dig the first one, as your eye slowly gets directed to the light source to the left. Very powerful! And I know what you mean by Warcraft3, it really disrupts the work flow at the office

Night Elves RULE!

ahh you got the WC bug too? you evil man, as if play 'puter instead of art......so...want a game?

impressive work Joachim, as usual.... do you use scanned images for the rock textures.... and if so what do you do to get the feel that they distort around the form?? (I know of some huge time consuming ways to get it done, but I'm curious if you have a quick workaround) I'm doing some very similar work right now, (multiple background paintings for X-Box cinemas) and it wares you down after awhile..

any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.. thanks and good luck with your project... looks like a winner so far

later

Nice work Joachim! Nice lighting and scene setups. Same for you Micke, but, I won't repeat this phrase in your thread. =)

Germ01-- "Your caves just rock!" ha! I can't believe no one else found that funny.

Nice work! I love your stuff too, I'm sure you have read Micke's post... well you rock too!

The atmosphere in the cave ones is great!

WOW

i love those snow ones, can i use them? like modify them? coz my pictures for the RA2 mod im working on are set on a snow planet, and im not really good at creating snowy environments(hey, imagine, i live in singapore? snow is like.... bleh)

Great! as usual

one thing i've noticed though with your cave-paintings, is that some of them tend to look a little flat. I think it might have todo with your texture-layers being applied on them.. not sure though.

oh I could just kiss you! I've missed you so much! Very nice paintings, there's a definite unique feeling to these, atmoshperic and magical

Really nice work Joachim, you and micke have done a great job with them. Inspires me to make more of an effort in painting lscapes aswell.

Chester been working on this stuff aswell?

Yes, the cave ones do rock. But my eyes keep going back to that winter scene with the red wood house on the side. I don't know what it is exactly but I find that one the most interesting to look at.
