Just stunning.

I really love how you handle flesh, it looks soft, plump and warm.

[Tooth]

cool stuff, love all the traditional especially, must be great fun getting stuck in with that stuff! :)

[Giant Panda]

Awesome stuff man, really like that waterfall (rapids?) paint. Do you use a particular medium with your oils?

[archipelago]

Thanks!

Giant Panda - The rapids one is digital, among some of the other oil painterly ones in this thread, I use artrage together with photoshop to get that effect.
When I use real oil paints I very rarely use a medium, if so just linseed oil and some thinner. Oil paints are quite smooth already these days straight from the tube and it is usually the best consistency.























Cheers!

Dude, I haven't seen any major updates from you for so long! Awesome stuff!

Are you planning on going to the Northern Lights workshop in Stockholm?

[swilm]

You had me at that Dune piece... plus your paint skills are very nice. Thank you for sharing.

PieMonster - Cheers man, You have some real awesome art going on yourself! Nope, I wont be going to Northern Lights, but some of my friends from Atelier Stockholm will!
