Hey, wassup ! Another Thunderdome contest soon ? wink wink :)
Just thought I could post a couple of pictures I did long time ago, but I never shown them before.
Counterstrike. Me and Mikael (co-worker) did this one togther for Valve a couple of years ago, but they never released it because of the 9/11 tragedy. A totally different style than I have today, the client wanted it to look totally clean and soft, and look digital. Probably because it's a cover based on the game and should look somewhat like a cleaned up version of how it looks ingame. I never really liked painting this clean, I always thought that seeing brushstrokes is a positive thing as long as it doesn't look rough but has a style and personality. But, for this type of thing I guess it works this way too. And I guess that is also what being professional means, -your ability to paint it the way others want instead of painting it "your" way.
Oh well,

ANd, this is a cover for a GBA game I did together with my co-workers last year. Those who knows Moomin recognize it I guess. This is a different style again, but this was painted following the style of the Moomin world, so flowers etc has that style.
