Outer Space II

Newest addition to my ongoing space explorations.

Space Control to Major Tom

Some Space Ship designs that I've been playing around with. It's my first attempt but I'm really having fun with it. More to come.

Putting your Mind to the Pixels

Time to post some of the things I've been playing around with. Finished the Giants adding some details as to how they would be outfitted for battle. Next is the camouflaged defense system. Having fun with putting to pixel whatever comes to my mind these days. Hope you enjoy!

WIP

this is work in progress on some creature designs. Wanted to do some Giants to go with my medieval fantasy fling and have a few more ideas for them that I will be posting.

bike madness

some quick explorations on the same subject - futuristic bike.

bubble bike

futuristic motorcycle design. more to follow.

Angel

My latest lunch break creation. 'An angel answered my prayer' has a whole new meaning with this one...

Magical Forest

the forest saga continues...

Gladiators, I salute you.

Character design of a female gladiator. More to follow.

Land of Fantasy

Here finally my first new piece in a while. Decided to do an environment piece that later turned more into a scene. I'm actually quite fond of it and am turning from sci-fi to medieval fantasy. Also I have a sketchbook full of ideas that are just waiting to be painted.

Project A.S.H.

After a long break some news:

A long-term project finally saw the light of day - Alexander Seojin Holm was born on the 30th of June. I am proud to have accomplished in great team work with my beautiful wife Mino such a perfect artwork.

In other news, I was recently contacted by a sculptor from Brazil who wanted to sculpt one of my creature designs - the Sea Rex. He does online tutorials and this project will be featured in a book he will be publishing. For those interested, below is a link to his website where you can see the process of this sculpture.

my design:

MALFUNCTION - project completed

The final pieces for my visual development project MALFUNCTION. Last pieces include additional environment detail variations, character variations and some cinematic illustrations. - it's a wrap!

Suckerpunched

The first in a series of promotional artwork for my project. The goal was to create a dynamic action piece as a poster or cover artwork.

It's all going under..water!

The latest environment. Some of the machine city is flooded giving our hero the chance to escape the killer machines....or so he thinks (giggle). Trying to bring variety into the world so why not water. Bring out them speedos

Raging Orc

Waarg ...or something like that is probably what this one is saying. Just a random sketch I felt like doing (40 min). I guess an ORC was overdue.

Machine City

Finally the internal view of the machine city. Here I just wanted it to look crazy, massive and fantastic. Although I still need to work on the machinery making it a bit less organic in look I felt this one turned out quite well.

The Structure

My third environment piece. This one shows a wider view of the "lost city". Here we see the scale of this menacing structure that the machines have built. Sketches show development but I ended up with this octopus-like thing. Somebody also described it as a skeleton which I liked. Wanted the atmosphere to be beautiful but creepy.

Land of Pipes

Second environment. One of my ideas was that the machines use water to produce energy. So at one point our hero travels through this landscape of huge pipes. As before I have a enlarged part of the image to show the details.

Lost City

My first environment. Wanted to show the empty abandoned city and the towering robot structure. It spreads over the city so I decided to have it slightly shaped like an octopus. The lonely hero walking on the street below gives a sense of scale.

Refined Hybrid

worked a little more on the hybrid. voila.
