The originals look even better.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Those are awesome...though I swear I've seen them before.

Angcuru, did you ever link this a year or two back? Or at least some of the art?

 

[LeifVignirsson]

Impressive... very impressive. I hope you things work out for you in finding some serious graphics work in the industry because it looks like you have got the skills to stick around for a while.

 

[Angcuru]

A lot of his works are reproductions of stuff from game manuals, as that's how he got started. The assassin, cleric, and paladin are from Hexen 2, and the Starcraft stuff should be pretty obvious.

That's probably where you've seen it before if you have.

^ what he said

i based alot of it off the rough sketches from game manuals and super-rendering the hell out of it (i dont trace tho , you dont get better by tracing) i have several nice original drawings in the works ( like the skullbot, cleric, doom guy and such) to add, i have a giger-esque maggot drawing, a mummy alchemist, a fight between a dwarf and an orc, and a few others.

im gonna get to putting up some paintings, which are my weakness. i got my drawing skills ata comfortable level but painting i need to work on alot. i only have 3 or so that i consider good. i usually paint in the traditional renaissance technique, a monochrome underpainting with layers of color glazes.

i need work and ideas, more the better. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for drawings / paintings let me know. i need lots of practice, and i got no problem doing some gratis character sketches for ur guys characters.

today was my last day of school. all done. i have a few commission jobs in the work, but nothing great yet. im gonna bust out a few more original sketches for my portfolio before i send my work to art directors.

Oh man did you just start a landslide.

Put "Taking Requests" in your title (via edit post) and you'll get a flood of people wanting you to draw their characters, monsters, etc.
