Description

Because of too much work and other issues, I haven’t had as much time as I wanted to paint personal pieces lately, and this is the result of that. I’ve been working on this on and off for about 2 months, which is not how I usually work at all. I felt that I lost the connection with this piece so I just decided to finish it before ruining it further

Again, another Call of Cthuhlhu inspired piece, and the guy is kind of a portrait of myself. Don’t ask why :-P

Painted using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. Reference used for the character.

I just love your lighting! You can spot your stuff a mile off just from the lighting alone!

we wish the squid were so easy to bring down. Wonderful work, as usual. Wish I actually had the time to do stuff like this. The Wall is still my fave though.

I actually like that bottle... too bad it's empty, I can imagine one could do with a good drink after killing some tentacle creature

After a long day at work, a fella needs to be able to kick back and collect his thoughts in quiet.

Excellent, Henning.

As usual, what I like most in your work are male portraits. Having never met you in person, I immediately recognized some of you in this character, which is proof of true skill.

I also enjoy the Cthulhu themed scenes. Keep them coming

Great piece, Henning.

It reminds me of an old 1940s detective movie with the hero taking a break in his office.

well done, though dare I ask why he is holding that tentacle on his shoulder while flesh is dangling, perhaps almost pouring out the bottom?
