    Wow! Amazing work. Matte painting is genre all to itself.

    Man, this is fantastic!
    Some of it is reminiscent of the Half Life 2 style.

    mostly nice. except for the way disproportioned train/houses in the second painting.

  11. Bojan Devic January 2, 2010 at 3:13 pm #

    Looks amazing

  12. Joe January 2, 2010 at 5:45 pm #

    im guessing this guy does alot of work for Ubisoft seeing as their is concept art work for assassins creed and prince of persia 2 and 3.

  13. JHONNY January 3, 2010 at 9:32 am #

    very good

  14. Mysterious Chap January 4, 2010 at 12:32 am #

    Number five’s rather Bioshock-y IMHO.
    All amazing, wish I could paint like that.

  15. homelessjoe123 January 5, 2010 at 10:28 pm #

    these are great. awesome work!

    @dreadboy- um… i think that was the point. if i’m not mistaken, it’s a HUGE train riding over a winter village. true it’s not plausible, but it makes for great art.

  16. Tom - Airopia January 6, 2010 at 4:54 pm #

    I like these, very unique.

  17. Brendan January 6, 2010 at 5:49 pm #

    Maybe i play too many video games, but these all look like they could be concept art from games. Either way, great job! These are some amazing pieces!

  18. Tim January 7, 2010 at 5:19 am #
