Heh…guys, he’s already got a job with ArenaNet, and they pay him to draw this exact stuff. Of course it’s as good as what you see in games; it IS what you see in games!

Wow these are absolutely incredible! I was playing a Star Wars video game recently, and you could unlock art and drawings and your artwork was as good as theirs or better! I think Halo has art like that too. I honestly think that you should contact Lucasarts and/or Bungie and send them some of your art. Perhaps you could get a job at one or both of them.

I can’t fathom the amount of talent it takes to create these illustrations. I fear there is little money in it — I could be wrong, I hope so.

Only attracted to the dark side, as so many are. It’s so easy, so tempting.
Your art is sad, it depicts sad stories of power and violence. Only the dark sides of humanity.
How do you think your pictures influence the next generation?
Try the other side. Draw nice and enjoyable lives, make us smile, laugh.
Make the future a better place, by drawing better places.
