Nicely rendered.
I'm uncomfortable with the way you had different perspective sets merged into a single image (in each of those pics). Is this deliberate?

Sweet! - It's Night of the living Dead meets Gangs of New York.
Really nice horriific/social realist style - what kind of game are these for? I'd love to see more if you have em - bigger too!

Hi everyone!
Sumaleth - thanks, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by different perspective. I usually don't think too much about that when I work, so if there is something off then I probably thought it fitted the compostition =)
the_insider - Thank you!
B0b - =)
Capt. Fred - thanks, my fave also. That one was great fun to make, very speedy and intuitive.
Matthew - Yepp! Men det �r v�ran lilla hemlighet 
marc_taro - Thank you! It's supposed to be in a genre that I'm not all that familiar with - steampunk fantasy. And they're for a good ol' pen and pencil RPG. I did some character portraits aswell, but they're not all that exciting to look at =)
Cheers!

Absolut great greyscale-work!
I dont miss any color and the amound of detail fits in perfect too.
PS: Im not sure, this is painter, or?

Well, enough praise has been added that I don't mind bringing up the negative -
In spite of all the good qualities, all of these images have a total lack of motion.
The lighting, detail, technique, composition, are all superb, but the figures all look like manicans. No motion at all, just static poses =( |

| very nice play on values. I like how you selectively made areas of interest low contrast and high key. |

Dr. Bang - Ahahaha!!!! =) Man, you crack me up! Oh, btw, I'm now 24 since feb. 17
DL-44 - Hm, that's not very good at all... I'll work on it until the next time.
Lunatique - Thanks!
SolarC - I don't think about it at all, it starts out a totall mess (most of the times) and then I try to refine it as I go along. Chaos is the key
acrynick - They're all made up from scratch, mostly because I was commissioned to do them. I read an unnerving article about copyright issues in illustration and the use of other people's photos as refernence. They might actually sue you, so I didn't want to take any chances =) If I had a dozen people, access to all possible kinds of clothing and a proper studio with lights and those cool reflection-screens I would use photos all the time though 
Cheers!
Mon
