the self challenge
I like to paint characters and especially I like to work with skin tones. I am trying to find the essence of the character. Usually I try find something that will be hard to do so that the whole process becomes a challenge. Sometimes this result in that I spend hours on a skirt to be right and I miss that the whole anatomy is out of order. Maybe in the future I will play more with interesting backgrounds but at the moment it does not interest me that much. In a computer game everything is usually full on but when I paint on my own I want it to be more subtle and that you pick it up after spending some time with the painting.

In my day time I work as character modeller for a games company and in my sparetime I like paint on the computer. I got some of my early work included in books but at that point I used to start with a photo and paint over that to get the basic structure in place. Now i paint from scratch and it is more of a challenge and meditation. I also like to do yoga and take long walks.

do not hesitate to contact me if you have some questions or something like that. Crits and general advice for me to develop more is always welcome and I till be learning new stuff until the day that I die.

take care and thanks for looking at my profile.
