Artist's Comments

Skarin, the main character of Sega's/The Creative Assembly's new title Viking: Battle for Asgard.
The task was to achieve a rather realistic and more detailed feel of the in-game character. Since it was used for life-size standee prints, the artwork has an extremely high resolution, it was a challenge to bring in all the details while preventing from a too stiff and unnatural look with that huge size. Completely done in Painter X and Photoshop CS3, no use of 3d software.

That is a very powerful image. I like the detail in the fine knot work on the ax head and the leather leg armor.

This is so brilliant... the stance, the detail, the textures, the facial expression.. all perfect. I love every bit of this piece

Fantastisch! Kannst du nicht ein paar Einblicke geben, wie man so verdammt realistisch ohne 3D software malen kann? Ich finde es echt beeindruckend :)
