Hmm. Not bad. Not my favourite style (Im not an abstract fan. Impressionism is about my limit) but it ain't bad.

I like his stuff. I'm not one for the style, either, but I think finding a niche like this - I mean, does anyone else paint landscapes from video games? - is relevant to my interests. He's going through some rough times right now, so I'm just trying to spread the word.
(Does anyone else paint video game landscapes? I really have no idea...)

imho neither of those two scenes have a distinctly CoX feel (the Mercy one feels especially lacking). I have played CoX more than any game in my life, but I found the HL2 (only played a few hours of this one) and Fallout 3 images much more recognizable. The HL2 one is great, I think. If there were a giant atlas statue or gaudy pyramid, things might be a little different.

Hugely off-topic but; Larry, is anyone in your family called Steve, and does he compose?

I recall seeing one four plus years back, mostly done in vector, none of which were CoX related (mostly did Halo, Counter-Strike, just about anything that graced the Xbox). They were great, but overall attitude I got from his comments were unsavory so I didn't bother saving the site after the first run through. Other than that, don't think many do landscapes. Shame though cause some 'scapes have some amazing feels and vibes to them, being CoX related are Shadow Shard and Grandville.|

I really like the HL2 ones - particularly the train yard.

Larry is just a name I thought sounded funny with it.
Only person in my family named Steve is my aunt's new husband.

Pimping for a friend:
A friend does painted scenes from video games. Original works are available for a nice price tag, but he also offers prints.
http://jamesbarnett.net/
I post here because he does have a couple of City of Villains scenes in there (Port Oakes and Mercy Island).
I've actually bought a print of the Port Oakes painting. (thinking about the Half Life 2 one next to it, too...)
Hey Devs, wouldn't a nice original painting of Port Oakes look good in the Paragon Studios offices?!
(Sorry if this is out of line here - if this type of thing is frowned upon, I apologize and feel free to ignore.)
