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.

Man, this is great day at concept art. We get a Brasshorse post a Hawkprey post and Joachim post. Days like these should happen more often :)

Really like your cs piece. Even though it's cleaner than your usual stuff it still looks Joachimish, really nice soft look on it. The perspecitve on the boxes in the background looks a tiny bit off though...

and... hehe, "Mumintrollet" :D

Nice pieces!

I like the contrast between the two pics! It's almost like they are both the same picture, yet in 2 alternate universes: one foreboding and cautionary, the other one happy and inviting!

crash, yep you sweedes have grown up on moonim even more than us Norwegians I guess.

mutton, thx ! yeah, they should have stopped the happy the moonin cover as well, because of 9/11, those two happy characters are probably terrorists too :D

joshua, great orcs you have made. I just have to find the time, and I hope your orcs thread will keep on living for a couple of weeks more I will def. do one.

hopless, ok, hmm yeah. :confused:
