some of my work

[Ben Baumhauer]

hi out there,
I'm a new member of this site and I eventually got convinced to show some of my work here and I also want to introduce myself.
(now I really don't want to disrespect your rules but so far I couldn't quite figure out what exactly they are supposed to mean, so forgive me in case I post here inapropriate)
I'm a student at an artschool at Stuttgart, Germany and doing this kind of stuff I feel like on a lonely island there. I remember painting was the reason I decided to become a designer in the first place and I'm still eager to develop and to make it my job soon. What I like most is painting scenarios, and when I do it looks pretty much like this...

- 18.10.08 update: replaced some in better quality, added two new ones...
thanks for watching and for the response

Hope you like it,
get back to you later.

really nice compositions here.

Very cool environments. They depict some very cool scenes. And while I really like the colors, and you use them well, I can't help but notice all these pieces have very similar color compositions. And while thats not really a bad thing, I just thought it was a little strange.

really nice stuff dude!

just one thing: I think you have to work on your perspective a bit more carefully. Your artworks looks great overall, but there are a couple of elements what makes the space a bit confusing.

welcome on board! :yayca:

As already pointed out, a little more color(-variation) would make them pop out little more. Especially dunno.jpg and coast.jpg have a too Grey washed-out look for my taste.
But good stuff so far, i would love to see some more :)

The second one is the best, in my opinion. The others seem to have this glowy, blurred effect. I think it's most apparent in the third one. Other than that these look awesome. :}
