  1. The first one, the “Hub of Time” is so amazing I just can’t get over it. Just imagine a city on top of all the gears, the gears slowly grind away as the cities on top slowly spin with them.

    Just seems like something that would be amazing in a video game 🙂

  2. OMG this is so amazing. I’m going into graphic design and now my new goal in life is to be this good.thanks!

  3. OMG this is so amazing. I’m going into graphic design and now my new goal in life is to be this good.

  4. holy shit these are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. This is an amazing art!
    Romania has great artists and designers!

  6. Very beautiful works. Congratulations! I think you have cracked it 🙂 very inspiring (heads off to go n find sketch pad n pencil)

  7. 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!

  8. absolutely exquisite.. they look effortless.. you are officially my fave digital art artist now..

  9. Oh my God! i seriously love most of them. Really inspirational Art hat’s off to the Artist 🙂
    Btw Pagodas was outstanding

  10. absolutely exquisite.. they look effortless.. you are officially my fave digital art artist now..

  11. Hey i would like to feature your art on my site if its ok with you. Its a work of fantasy i bet my members will love. from one artist to another this is pritty impresive!

  12. wow! i love your art so much it’s very inspiring. i hope that one day i will be as good as you ;p

  13. 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.

  14. These are incredible! How much time did it take to complete each one? They are very useful for inspiration.

  15. 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.

  16. normaly I don’t comment on stuff I find via StumbleUpon, but this time I wish it had more than two buttons..In addition to “dislike” and “I like it!”, I’m missing a button called “awestruck!” hats of for an amazingly creative mind, and skillful hand!

  17. It’s been a real pleasuer to play in your GW invoirment for 5 years, the game is so beautiful. Really looking forward to GW2

  18. I was pulled in by the swan boat, marvellous! Having played Guild Wars for several years I was very happy to see some old friends lol plus some hopefully soon to be viewed in game new friends!!

  19. If I ever came across one of scenes in a video game that would be it for me I would be hooked.

  20. 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.

  21. he’s a romanian artist and i’m proud to be romanian to 🙂 at least, for this time

  22. All This Stuff Reminds Me Of Like Hell And Heaven And Stuff… Lol IDK Why… Looks Really Cool Though. KEEP EM COMIN…

  23. I loooove this artwork! Demand a high price for your work but most importantly, keep going. These are so amazing.

  24. I always liked the art work of Guild Wars, been playing it since its early days. Cant wait for GW2 to come out. Also you can get a book with concept art for GW2,and maybe some posters for the original GW

  25. Good lord this is INCREDIBLE. The Direction you’re going in IS the future of Sci-fi

  26. Pretty unreal. I would love to have some of these as posters! Anyone know if they can be bought?

  27. the “Robed Guy” reminds me alot of Zelda for some reason, I think it’s the bird thing on his chest

  28. my god….
    ive never seen anything like it before…
    if i could id shake his hand…
    excellent work

  29. Yüksek hayalgücü. Yaratıcılığın son noktası bence. Hepsi çok güzel.
    asoskay

  30. Wow, …wonerful! These are perfect fantasy worlds from a real artist.

    Kind regards,
    Sven

  31. Wow, I was real impressed with the Swan Ship, but as I scrolled further I couldn’t believe half of these exist! These are so amazing… great work. There’s so much depth in your artwork.
