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

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.

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

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.

I like these, very unique.

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!
