Making new art from scale model photographs

I must say that Im really lucky to have many supertalented people around me. One of my friends Marko Paakkanen creates these amazing dioramas and miniatures.

You should check out his blog and facebook pages.

I have had a plan to make some images out of his dioramas and scale models and this time I took an image of one of his smaller character pieces. It is a model of Anglo-saxon huscarle. All handpainted and crafted this is a really nice piece of art. So we went to our studio, set up the lights and took the initial frame to be the starting point of my art, creating a story behind that image. I also took an image of Marko´s face so I could composite his face into the character.

Then after some hours of retouching the image I was happy to show my creation to the world. It is just so awarding to collaborate with different artist and create something totally unique.

Here is Anglo-Saxon Huscarle!
