Posted this already in the matte painting section but wanted to have it in my portfolio as well.
Digital matte painting approx two days of work, done over several weekends.
This is the plate I used:


Was mainly for practising set extension and grain/res match.

initially started as a speedpaint for practising lighting but kinda evolved into this; still not finished but I'm not gonna spend any more time on it as I'm happy with the way the thumbnail looks lol.
Thanks for viewing!

"Damnit,... I need a friggin weapon...!"

Most of the time while playing Dead Space I felt more like "Damnit I need friggin Ammo!"
But that's kind of the point of survival horror I guess. Fucking awesome game.
Surely inspiring; however, nothing in the image is from the game so its no fan art or anything; just made me want to do sth sci-fi-scary-ish

Hi there

How are you?

Long time no see... Iīve been so busy with projects the last weeks and months. x__x
And still a ton of things to do.

This is the last in a series of three cover artworks I did for the German publisher Atlantis and itīs Gallagher Chronicles novels.
I know that it might look a bit weird that the creature doesnīt have arms but this was a special request of the author in order to make itīs appreance even more extraterrestrical.

C & C very welcome!

Hi there
First post here. Actually Iīve been lurking around here for a long time and always felt a bit intimidated by all those kickass images but wanted to register now.

So hi @ll!

The painting was done for the e.o.w. contest @conceptart; the topic was "the floating bazaar"
Any comments appreciated
