New year, new portfolio (Image heavy)

Hello again boys and girls of the GG community! Some of you may remember my first post last September where I introduced myself and talked a little about my goals as an artist, most of you probably do not.

But whether you do or not is not important, what is important is that a lot have happened since then and that nowadays I am working as a full time freelancer! Something that has turned out to be both very hard and very rewarding, I have learned a lot over the last half a year or so and can not tell you how awesome it is to be able to support myself of my art. It makes all the hard work and sometime unholy hours worth it.

Anyhow, as my last portfolio is getting a bit old as to showing what I can do nowadays I thought it was about time to put together a brand spanking new one with a proper webpage that I can keep updated with fresh material, and of course to give you guys an update ;)

For those who want to see the result here is my new portfolio: Click Here
Made a new job post here at GG as well: Click Here

And for those who just want to see some fancy pictures here are a couple of samples from my portfolio:

Best regards

Hello everyone! I'm pretty sure no one knows who the heck I am but I've been a part of this proud community for about year and a half now and I think It's time I write a proper introduction. A lot have happened during the last year's time, I've been a part of starting a company and I've been working hard together with some greatly devoted people on a project that will probably be revealed later this year.

I've learned more about not just game art but everything surrounding the making of a games then I would ever have thought possible. And hopefully I've been maturing a great deal in the progress. It was a couple of years ago I decided that I would go with my life dream of becoming a full time game concept artist/illustrator. It's been a couple of intense and rough years turning down regular jobs only taking art related ones and just working hard on improving the level of my art but I'm happy with the progress I've made and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

That's brings me to where I'm at today, I just recently started working on a portfolio and I've decided it's time to start trying to get some more interest out there as a freelancer, start making some new contacts and hopefully make a little extra money to start paying of my loans. For the curious I've posted a thread in the "Looking for work" part of the forums right here: Link. Whish me luck people!

Oh, and since images are all the rage around here I'll go ahead and post my portfolio as it looks right now:
