MAXIM MJÖDOV: THE WILD FORM
Beautifully haunting photographs of animals, I assume which are taxidermied, devoid of life. More here.
JEFF SIMPSON
Amazing paintings here by Jeff Simpson. Amazing form and content. These are a combination of digital painting, photoshop and acrylic painting. See more here.
DAVID PALUMBO
MACIEJ KUCIARA
Here's a taste of some of the most amazing concept art I've ever seen. This guy must have an incredibly imagination! More here.
AJ FARENA: SCREAM
Wow, I could stare at this for hours. It's like looking at a still taken from a nightmare. Amazing. More here.
CILER: CRÁNEO
This nightmarish piece takes me back to staying up late playing Doom as a kid. It has quite a Lovecraft feel to. Amazing work. See more of Ciler's darkness here.
NICK FRANK
Some beautiful shadows and angles come together here in what could be mistaken as Darth Vader's weekend retreat. I would love to be able to photos like this. From what I can gather this was taken in Munich, an amazing city that I miss dearly! Check out more of Nick's work here.
BRANDON HEART
And now for a slight departure from retro futurism and back to zombies and skeletons. The colours, the style, the composition, the expression on that poor bastard's face, Brandon Heart has nailed it all in this epic illustration that I would happily wear on a shirt. Brandon has many more amazing pieces here.
ORLANDO AROCENA: APERITIF
A nice piece here by Orlando Arocena, one in a series of illustrations of what appears to be women licking blood from their fingers. Delicious! See them all here.
CHRISTIAN VENNERSTRØM JENSEN: TWO
Some amazing shots here from Christian Vennerstrøm Jensen. The colours, angles and textures make it feel very other worldly, with a very tasty dark edge. I love it. Check out the whole series here.
ANDREW K GREEN: PHYSICAL MODELS
Andrew's description:
Collection showcasing physical models from academic projects between 2004-2010Beautifully abstract work. There many more examples right here.

Absolutely epic material here by Digimental Studio. Very slick and inspirational. Check their site for more eye-popping work.
JOHN ANTHONY: A LATE WINTER'S AFTERNOON
THOMAS KURIATKO: ILLUSTRATIONS
Thomas Kuriatko has posted a series of epic illustrations on his behance profile which I would file in the "I wish I had those sorts of skills" category. The piece above was my personal favourite. Although each illustration within the piece is awesome in its own right I'm glad that he's used them as a montage/narrative piece – as with most montages it gives the illustrations much more context and depth. I particularly like Thomas's style and colour palette, which to me seems like a nod to the grind house genre. Very tasty.
Check the whole series here.
NIKOLAI NOWOLODSKI: (SKULL) TYPOGRAPHY
Nikolai Nowolodski has made a creepy-looking skull from lots of words. I think that's really cool. The execution is nice and creepy and he's made good use of some texture.
BAM: I've just realised that there is actually a narrative running through the words/entire piece. This adds even more depth to the piece. Top job Nikolai!
Nikolai's behance profile is here, check it out.
MARCO MISHEFF: VERTICAL LANDSCAPE
I found this image by Marco Misheff to be quite haunting and a little surreal – not sure why, although the texture and lighting help to create a unique atmosphere. It almost feels like an apocalyptic setting, or even post apocalyptic given the overall darkness with the exception of the vibrant red streaks glowing from the darkness. Dull shapes sometimes becoming silhouettes of the crane and building look lifeless, uninhabited and eerie – like something from 28 days later. On a final point I love how the image is partially blurred and partially sharp, the blurriness possibly censoring or hiding something vital from the viewer. Overall a fantastically moody piece. See Marco's folio here and website here.
JOE DION: DEAD STUFF
I grabbed this image from a series of epic zombie illustrations by Joe Dion. To me this one was among the strongest. The bold colour, heavy contrast combined with the concept of a sexy zombie meant I had to post! In a world where pop culture seems to be flooded with zombie references it's nice to come across some quality occasionally (along with The Walking Dead, Dead Nation on PS3, whispers of 28 months later + World War Z). Check out the whole series here and Joe's website here.
RUBEN IRELAND: FAMILY TREE
ADAM CHROBAK: ILUUSTRATIONS 2010
Visit Adam Chrobak's behance folio and you will find an amazing selection of illustrations that depict a slightly darker and more aggressive world than what we're used to. His work is strikingly original and overtly raw. I think rawness is the essence of his work, in both form and content. These 2 are for me, stand out pieces but most of his work is ahead of the majority of the pretty, overly polished and filtered work floating around the internet today. Check out his folio here and there's loads of great work on his site here.
ALEXANDER MIKHAYLOV: LAST PICS
Alexander Mikhaylov has put together a series of impressive concept drawings on behance. This one in particular caught my attention as a possible salute to Star Wars and due to it's overall dark robotic goodness. The whole series is worth checking out, especially the pieces that have subtle animation. Check the series here and Alexander's website here (loads of great content).
