Due to turbulance I’m also now on Artstation! https://www.artstation.com/maxes I’ll still keep posting here but if you’re wondering where else to find my stuff, Artstation would be the place

Sticking with the sci-fi theme from the previous image I made a scarab/beetle alien creature blending inspiration from Giger and Tsutomu Nihei.

A while back I made a sketch of a sci-fi soldier, the idea was to have a reanimated corpse encapsuled by a war armour providing it life support. Recently I made another image with more action and lights to test the idea further. It’s visually inspired by various things like Metroid, Warhammer 40k and Destiny.

I know, I know, redesigning Dante is generally a bad idea, but with the small glimpse seen of him in the trailer for DMC V I wanted to do my own more “worn” take on him before we get a better look. I am crossing fingers hoping that Capcom doesn’t screw this one up since their record as of late is...uneven.

The Betrayed King In anticipation of the Dark Souls remaster I wanted to do something in that style

Been reading through the awesome web comic Kill Six Billion Demons (check it out!) It has so many fun and quirky characters so I made a demon assassin named Carl who really likes to wear bells that jingle, might not be the best for his line of work, but when you have bugs for eyes that should be your last concern.

Glad you like it! I don't currently take commissions, reason being, not having enough time to produce things (at a decent pace) of the quality that I like to make slowly in my sparetime. When work calms down and gives me some more time I might be open to it.

Yep, that's me. But I'm ok with people reposting it, just glad to see so many liked it

Yoshimitsu My own take on the samurai from the Tekken and SoulCalibur series. Since he has yet to be revealed for SoulCalibur 6 I’m really curious what design they come up with...and hope that it’s not overdesigned like his incarnation in Tekken 7. 

Since I’m really into Lovecraft’s depiction of horrific monsters as well as I am of what Giger did for the horror genre in terms of visuals I wanted to do something in between. So I made an eldritch take on a xenomorph, under water of course.

The one that is hopefully under the project name "Shadows die twice" either way it kind of needs to be in the making with the Dark Souls series taking a break

This is what I hope a Hellboy of Yharnam would look like since I am such a huge fan och Hellboy and Bloodborne. The two universes share so much! From hunting beast, internal struggles with destiny and of course eldritch horrors and all that good stuff. I am beyond hyped for Hellboy and the Blood Queen as well as Bloodborne 2.

Cyberpunk girl with an esthetic inspired by 80′s sci-fi and anime.

Finally watched Batman v Superman, that Wonder Woman song stuck in my mind and I ain’t mad at that.

What I imagine good ol’ Ganondorf would loook like in the world of Dark Souls, after losing his piece of the triforce and kindling a dark flame from the abyss in lust for power.

I’ve been playing waaaaay too much Enter the Gungeon as of late so i drew the Pilot!
