Really amazing stuff! I love your use of uneven grounds and the way you integrate at least small aspects of nature into the designs (Like the birds and small tufts of plantlife). It gives everything a very grounded feel, without making it look mundane.

[Simon Boxer]

Great lighting and narratives in all your work.
It's both technically and conceptually awesome. Goodtimes!

[nickmarshallvfx]

God Damn this stuff is beautiful. At least half of this is going on my hard drive. That first enviro i havent seen on your site either, and it is phenomenal. Any chance of a step-by-step on any of these?

You already know what i think of the matte paintings from mattepainting.org but i love your concept work as much or more, it has so much textural quality and stunning lighting!

5* from me!

[El Jeremie]

Mucho respect. All of them are stunning..
Fucking good:drinkup:

[alyssa milano]

awsome stuff... and its quite rare to see this kind of city pictures

[Sylvain-Klein]

wow !!excellent work
do you start with pencil draw or you directly draw your concept on pc with graphic tablet ?

[Dahami]

I like. It takes real talent to create detailed environments like these.

[Jorge Gecov]

Great stuff, love the first.

[Glenn K]

Hey ditlev

These are really awesome. Well thought out, and nicely executed.

huh very realistic! especially liked the chinese city and the 3 last works :)

[corspufo]

Amazing work and very inspiring. I saw your Matte Paintings on MattePainting.org and was totally blown away there. So welcome to these forums. You already rock the house, I can't wait to see more. I love the Pirate Cove one, super cool.

[Angroc]

wow thats good!

cant say any crits. to damn nice! love the "chinese city at night" especially much.

[Majora]

nice job,I personally like your concepts,they all seems to be fresh made :]

[Mikael Leger]

Not bad Jan, not bad at all. I really dig the ship wreckage. And the last Matte you made (the first one). I can hear Hans zimmer playing in the background when I look at those:asspat:.

[moobish]

wow these are so amazing

[David79]

dude 5star respect O_o really well executed !!

[ditlev]

thank you everyone for your kind words, it realy means something to me. Hope somedaye to be able to show some of the production work the Concept team at Deadline Games have made.

[Lotet]

thats some pretty sweet stuff, great job man.

[cbonura]

Really like the stranded ships. Has a great mood. Looking forward to seeing future works.

[CGMonkey]

wow that is some really solid compositions and colors. Good Work!

[Poustman]

Electrifies the imagination. I love it.

[Mat Kaminski]

CRIPES!!!

That stuff is absolutely and utterly amazing

<<< ---- PWNED!! :0

[digitalkarma]

really nice work,, dude... inspiring////////////////i like also the use of colours and the sense of composition++++

[takmask2]

These are really nice.

[Kan Muftić]

Sweet work!

[Mikko K]

Very nice paintings!

[oOHereticOo]

Amazing stuff all around :O I love the texture on the first one I swear I can almost pick the moss off those trees in there. The oriental city scape is absolutely perfect too. You can almost hear the hustle and bustle and feel the heat from the street on that one. Inspirational stuff.

[awooldri]

Wow! what else can you say, the matte painting's, i was in dis-belief, they look so damn real, well done, for a first post i would say its an excellent start and is gonna be hard to beat, well maybe not by what i've seen....

[Sir Bret]

Your use of lighting is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot believe that you are so good at this - your dockyard painting, I have to say, is... wow, for lack of a better word. I love it - show me more! :D

[Haxxxor]

hi there.... wow i'm really impressed.
they are all stunning, i really like how you use highlights to show texture... really impressing.

is it possible for you to show us a wip of one of your work?:carnifex:

[ditlev]

Hej Haxxor
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately i don´t have a work in progress for these paintings, but I will try to remenber it next time i paint somthing of my own.
Again thanks to everyone for your posts.

[Piecemaker]

wow awesome work you got there. plz keep posting. btw are these for faith nd a 45?

[Badaboom]

Very good and very interesting, specially the rough ones (though the matte are really good too). Congrats and thanks for sharing.

[ditlev]

Hi Piecemaker
No these are not from Faith and a 45... I would like to post some of the concepts we done for the game, but for now we have to wait.

[Jason Manley]

very nice work man...welcome to the boards.

[roidvoid]

great details
i really like where you free transformed patterns ie: the mesh on the first piece.
how long did u spend on each painting? they look like they were really well thought out and labored over.

[zweiDee]

mamma mia, thigt concept art. will paint like you, now! give me your power!

[olivier_P]

really impressive work ! Would love to see more !

[sourgasm]

This are good. REEAALL good.

I hate you a little bit, actually ;p

[cgaddict]

Everything from composition to mood is very strong - these are easily some of the most impressive environment pieces I've seen to date. How long on average did these take, if I may ask?

[ditlev]

Hi Cgaddict
Thank you for the kind words. Each painting took about two days. I went kind of overboard with them in the level of detail and interest, and it was fun. usually I would have toned it down to keep focus.

[Dallas]

Hey Ditlev. Tak for sidst....
Super Cool stuff!! Values is totally in order.... :)

[ditlev]

Hi Rasmus
(Skulle lige se nærmere for at finde ud af at det var dig...)
Super cool website you have and thank you for the nice comment.

[Gregg]

Very cool stuff, especially your urban concepts, your use of the lights/colors by night is awesome.

[Tabikat]

Your concept work is simply amazing, I love the depth and movement as well as the colors and composition of each one. I'm not surprised you do this as a professional just by looking at your art. Your matte pictures just blew me away, a lot of people don't do traditional art anymore and seeing something like this is really inspiring.

[Chermilla]

Ahhh wish I could muster up the talent to paint some enviros as beautiful as the ones you've got here! Wonderful work. :)

[Springborg]

Good to see you finally figured out how to post :)

As usually great stuff from you. Really think you nailed that cityscape.
Looking forward to when we can post some of our Faith and a .45 stuff.

[DANKA]

Wow! Great concept and matte painting! The tibet.jpg is simply amazing!

[Martinity]

Hey Ditlev, nice to see more of your work. You've improved a lot very fast! Amazing quality in theese. Keep it up :)

[sabin boykinov]

[jdeegz]

print available? ...holy shit.

[Pavel Sokov]

Great paintings man, theyr all solid work, and i love how every environment is actualy pretty different from each other. very varied environment portfolio you got there

[X@nder]

have to agree with everyone one else, phenomenal :P, love the fine details you put into it :D we need more...
