New website and artwork

[Seung Ho]

Hi all,

it's been a while since posting. A lot has happened around here, good to see that. I just wanted to share some new concept work and my newly updated website.

( http://www.seunghohenrik.com

These images are from my own personal project I've been working on for a few years (on and off). Let me know what you think. (If I can get this upload manager to work first....)

Thanks
Seung Ho

Great environments man! They are some of the best iv'e seen in a while.

[CGMonkey]

Amazing stuff!
I'm really glad you've posted new stuff and updated your homepage!
Thanks for the inspiration!

I love your photographs on your homepage aswell -- Specially those very yummy aerial perspective ones!! :)

Can't you tell us more about this Somnio project of yours?

[Layil]

your atmosphere is intense. nice movie-like quality to your stuff.
nice variety too. gorgeous!

[Dan.v.D.]

it's amazing how far the digital art world has come in just a couple years. i mean only 4 years ago that level just wasn't a option. seriously take a minute and look at it like that. and then resume expanding what is possible. this goes for you seung and everyone else aswell! i'm inspired

[Springborg]

Really great stuff. So tight yet so loose. How about a small tutorial on how you make it so painterly - is it "just" painter? Art Rage and Photoshop?

Love it man

[Seung Ho]

Thanks for your encouragement and replies. You are allowed to criticize!

Somnio is a personal book project I've been working on for a few years. On and off I should add. Mostly off since I've been very busy with work. Only last year was quite a productive one as I took on alot fewer projects and focused more on this. It is a collection of short stories, written by myself, mixed with artwork lke this. The level of finish of each image varies alot, giving it a more dynamic feeling than if all paintings were super polished. Some are "finished", some are rough, I personally like that mix.

Here's another quicker one just to show the range of quiality:

I wish I could share everything, but I'm going to keep some to myself. I'd like the book to feel fresh when (if?) published. Thanks for looking. I'll reply more later, now I'm off to the gym!

I'ts all Photoshop with a small mix of 3DSMAX for perspective. No painter or anything else.

YOU ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible...

[HumbleHenk]

Ja jävlar. What the others said. ^_^ I saw a piece from you a month or so ago on cgsociety and got intrigued. Somewhere on the way I sadly forgot about ye though. Thanks for slapping me awake again ;).

[Chane]

Is this all photoshop work? How did u made this kind of stuff? The rendering is very nice. (All by hand?)

[lewiston]

Unbelievable stuff. Thanks for the new perspective on what is actually possible, man....

[Helioth]

seeeeriously... :o

good job man, can't you die happy now?

[GoKammy]

* * * * *

I had never come across your work, but it´s some of the best I have ever seen for sure!

I am really impressed with the lighting and colors, but also your rendering technique.

I especially like the more painterly look in your concept art. Could you please explain some more on how you get such an effect?
And I think we would all be very happy if you could upload your photoshop brushset for us to mess around with. (I like the brushes you use of the trees etc.)

[andreasrocha]

Wow! I hadn't seen stuff from you in a while (probably searching in the wrong places), but now you blew us all away with these brilliant paintings. Your technique is just amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[Velocity Kendall]

These are stunning

[Capprotti]

wow... i'm in LOVE!!!! with those landscapes. Well done!

[t i m]

inspirational.

[UnSharpened]

Some of them are incredibly realistic to me, say the street one, yet there are still strong paintery element. Just amazing!:D

[sony]

Ridiculously detailed!!! I am your new fan!

[bao]

Incredible stuff! I love the textural quality of them all, very polished too.

[Matsign]

holy moly

[mariusz]

stunning works!

[moonstonestreet]

Howow!!!

[Atlantean]

Trully beautiful use of digital media and awesome results.

Just one little thing. I might be wrong, but at least in the pieces posted here, I lack a wider range of compositions. Most of your landscapes show a centered horizon line with the focus in the center of the image, as do the main characters stand in the center too. I guess it´s just your choice, but I´m telling you in case you hadn´t noticed.

Hope it helps. Your use of brushes to achieve textures is trully inspiring, by the way.

[JustinBeckett]

Amazing!

[moonstonestreet]

Can you tell us what kind brushes did you use? :D

[Verehin]

Thaaank you!...awesome stuff!

[Nokill]

really cool and inspiring works, post more!

[PieMonster]

Amazing pieces, thanks a lot for posting! :D

[EVIL]

holy hell your good! I want a video demo from you!

[Beelow]

Haven't seen work from you in a while. I think I should go to your website now that you have new stuff. Inspirational stuff as always!

[Victor B]

TIGHT WORK, Keep it up friend.

[ColumbusSage]

really beautiful, I love the shed especially .

[RasselTassel]

Glad to see you are still keeping up with the painting Henrik, was wondering there for a while.. but i suppose the silence now turns out to be a good thing : )

- A tip could be to loosen up some of the figures in some of your pieces. The silhouettes in the very back of the night/helicopter scene for example aren't as confident as some of the environment-work, which is very understandable due to your background. And i think that perhaps the details some times are unnecessary, I think just some loose strokes would be enough to keep the imagination spinning here. Its probably something you could do in the last phase, destruction for coherence. Another thing I come to think about when seeing these images is that they are very much presented as concepts with open space and clean foreground. I think throwing in something in the very foreground that could add to the storytelling and lead the viewer in could be a nice addition. Of course it all depends on what you want to convey with these images to begin with.

I´ll wish you the best with the book and life! ...and of course, very nice work. ..(and thanks for all the help in the past! : ))

[P E N Ricklund]

Thanks for showing these, it really make digital painting feel fresh and just... painterly. Hope you book gets printed. Would be something to have in the bookshelf.

Inspiering.
