Last week, my girlfriend went to a party at her old design school, and she met this guy she knew from when they were studying there - at the time he was learning pixelart, copying from printed photos for photorealistic resultsÃ, - I guess the hard work payed off, now he's got a job as some kind of lead artist for a Canadian game developer. Looking at his website I can see why. Awesome stuff, hope it can be of inspiration.

I am in love with that guy.

You need to work on the eyes ... they don't fit in.
The hair looks okay, but overall the shading is inconsistant.
I'd say, all and all, it's a good start, but keep at it.
And don't get discouraged by critique ... I mean, that IS what the CRITICS LOUNGE is for. It's here to give advice on how to improve YOUR art work that YOU worked on.
Darth - is your reply for someone else?
Maybe this should've gone in General Discussion (anticipating move-action now), but I thought the art people in here would be a better target for the inspirationÃ, (?)Ã, Anyway, how would we ever improve at anything without inspiration?
Bartimaeus: me too, sort of...Ã, Ã, ;)
I was just messin' with ya man ... just because this doesn't really belong in the Critics Lounge :)
I've seen that guy's work before in the past, it is good stuff. A little "unfocused" for my taste (I like detail) but it has a nice style to it and conveys nice atmosphere.
going to move this to gen.
No problemÃ, ;)
I've seen this guys work before and he KICKS ASS.
I just love those atmospheric paintings.
I've got like a little fan folder of pringle on my PC. Hehe.
Concept art is the best. ;)
Yup, the guys' art is really cool.
I actually 'happen' to come across Sean : http://www.cgempire.com/showthread.php5
Ok the link goes to cgempire (so sorry for mentioning that site once more... :-/), but this is the only place I've found his art, as he doesn't seem to have a website yet.
What do you think of his images? I, personally, found them most impressive.
I've seen his stuff on CA.org. Veryimpressive, and he also posted a few tutorials where you can see him building up those detailed cityscapes. Can't give you an url sadly..
That guy Sean sure has a lot of styles to play with - I like the warm colors in the first ones, and the crazy vehicles are among my favorites too. I wonder who his father is... he says he's an even better artist?
2Macco: Found this thread with more pringleart there: Game Environments for graduation project (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php9541)
He points to some imageshack links for process, but they're dead :[
