Inspired by a concept developed by some very talented larp:ers: The Maheva'Jin. Only a handfull of this once proud, wild people is left. Now they roam the forests in the north, their animal-totems pulsing inside their bodies, driving them even more to succumb to their feral selfs. Only time will tell if they choose to walk the path of human... or beast.

Not much to Tell

When you're between studys and don't have a job you get a lot of spare time. There's a saying that a man can go crazy if he is given to much free will, to many alternatives. I believe that saying is true. Although, it leaves me with lot's of time to draw =) So here is a sketch-dump of my recent works!

School's over =,(

Asura Won! In my last post I said that I was gonna compare the level of ass-kicking between Kratos from God of War III and Asura from Asura's Wrath. And there you have it: Asura won. Doubt it? Play the game. So, now that school's over, and since I don't have a job, I just have to make the best of the situation. Wich would be: playing Asura's Wrath over and over! I LOVE that game! I'm just gonna say it's awazing, especially the artwork. Just brilliant... Anyho, here's some of my recent work. Feels good to be back i photoshop again. Both of these are done from scratch, no scanned line-art this time since both of the are speed-paintings done in about and hour and a half.

First up is an inspirational piece for a larp character of mine. It's just an idea that's been in my head for a while now. It is Aom Shakam, a lightning spirit.

 I love Exalted. Exalted is a RPG developed by White Wolf, and I mean a real rpg with real character-sheets and real dices! It's probably the best sand-box rpg there is so lot's of cred to the masterminds at White Wolf's. As for the picture here: it's concept-art for a character of mine called Hellord Immolates, one among the Chosens of Hell. He stands as the deity for The Cult of The Guiding Flame and he commands vast demon armies. Whenever he's displaying lot's of emotions, one can see his third eye burning with green flames.

Finally

Yes. I'm finally back from one week of larping, one week in Paris and I've also managed to whip up a decent portfolio and send it to a couple of concept-artist-schools. Boy, am I tired... but it has been so much fun, totally worth it.

And now... something for my fellow bad-ass enthusiasts:

Recently I borrowed God of War III from a friend and yesterday I purchased Asura's Wrath. It's time to see who's the biggest bad-ass out of these two god-kicking machines!

So here's a... sketch. Sweet Vishnu, I'm still green in colouring with that smooth style I've seen the fellas on youtube speed-paintings do it. But every work is a step forward!

Progressosaurus

Phew... Well, it's been a pretty effective day. Got good pictures of the croquis drawings I'm thinking of using in my application for the game artist-schools, added a few spots of colour on this painting and got a good start on the "personal letter" (don't really know what it's called in english. Summary?) thing the game artist-schools want you to write. But it's just the beginning of the week and there's still lot's of stuff to do. I just gotta remember to have fun.

So stuff keeps truckin'

©Viktor Blomqvist

Yes, they do keep truckin'. Many projects on the same time, you know. Making a video for the LARP-projects with The Wolf, still struggling with the applications for the game-art schools so here's a quickie I made this afternoon.

WooWoo!

Alright! now we're cooking! Apparently it is very good to work at several pictures at the same time, it makes it harder to get stuck in one detail. Still learning new things, can't get enough of it. So! Here's a piece I sketched up a long time ago and decided to throw some colour on it. Bam! Hippos... mean b*stards.

Winterwood

Bam! Right out of pure imagination: deep within Winterwood, during a moon-lit night, a rider stops. He stares at the vauge shapes that nestles between the trees. The night has only begun...

I feel goodish

Heya! Lot's of stuff going on right now with all the big art-schools've opened their apply-time. So here I am, trying to create the best pieces I've ever made before may 14th. Challenge accepted!

Ops!

Sorry pals, forgot to upload last wednesday... It was kinda hard to see after the eye surgery. But it's all fine now! So here's some stuff to make up for the delay. As always, click on for a larger image.

Enjoy!

Silhouette madness!

It's wednesday and that means update! Light, dark and everything in between... it truly is inspiring. I'm still trying to get a more solid grip of this method and with it, try to widen my gaze, to expand the horizon of my imagination. With this method it becomes a tad bit easier!

The first theme was girls. I feel I need to improve in the whole drawing-females field. So here goes!

The second theme was The Undead. Here I try to find new, creepy concepts for the wicked dead. Not an easy task, but still deadly fun. Ahaha, I'm killing myself! (Morbid jokes, I know).

MEga-update!

Welcome back! I haven't posted an update in a while (bad Viktor!) but hopefully this one will make up for that. I've really gotten into this silhouette-sketching stuff. Also, I've put up a few pieces from my december-exhibition. Stay tuned for more!
