Jeff Simpson is a digital artist who creates these almost surreal and fantasy-like paintings. I've always really loved his work and how he creates this actual paint-like look and texture.
I really love the colors he chooses because they are so muted and it creates this dark feeling to each one of his works, even though the image itself may not be very dark or unpleasant looking.
Its also kind of interesting how he seems to choose female subjects more often than males. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but it would actually be kind of neat to see a mixture of both males and females. Though I sort of think that possibly the intention of some of his pieces could be showing the darker and messed up side of some females that you don't really see. That or he just really likes drawing females.
He also does concept work for a video game series I really love: Assassin's Creed.
It's really fascinating to see the concept art behind characters from games, especially since it's not always just a replica of a 3D model. I really love looking at concept art since you can compare the piece to what you actually see in the game and how it differs.
