Hello

Ben Mauro

Hey Guys,
Been lurking around for years, thought i should say hi and contribute something. A couple things from the past year or so.

MoP

Very nice work, thanks for posting!

jaalto

Very nice indeed! welcome to polycount

renderhjs

some really great pieces

PixelMasher

dope, I love the 1st one and the jungle temple pieces.

mat

some very nice concepts, specially like the creature designs

ScoobyDoofus

Wow! I really love your work! Just stellar stuff.

Some of it looks like concept over 3d. Are you a concept artist or do ever take any of these bits to 3d completion?

fortheweekend_

Awesome work dude! i especialy like the interior scene.

achmedthesnake

awesome art ben, i remember seeing this stuff around

Ben Mauro

Hey thanks guys.

ScroobyDoofus - Sometimes a simple sketchup blockout to start, but for the most part its drawn out or just all Photoshop.

BradMyers82

Nice stuff! I really like the last two.

Joshua Stubbles

Really fantastic stuff.

Hi!

Great concepts, these are sweet. Hey cool some of your concepts were used in the Unearthly Challenge, nice to have you sharing some work. I really love concept pieces like RATATAT_treasure_dev.jpg, they are so much radness, and this one is juicy. With coolness or interesting... ness. Thanks for posting!

You're a very talented painter. What are you doing for work these days?

hobodactyl

I really like your proportions and colors; it's nice to see some awesome concept art here Hope to see more soon

Bongo

Nice to see you posting here. Awesome stuff as always (I got your blog on my RSS reader, also was in a summer workshop you taught at Digipen way way back).

warby

looks awesome welcome to polycount ! you might wanna change your subject to something like first post : concept art or something would be a shame if someone skips over this thread with its beautiful content and all.

killingpeople

Make the thread title: Ben Mauro kicks you in the teeth with his artwork: warby approved

Nick Carver

Great to see you here on Polycount, Ben. I was bowled over by this stuff on your blog a couple of weeks back. I really liked the stuff you did for your Bioshock 2 project.

Keep keeling it! Did I read you were off to work at Weta soon? Nice!

Cheers, Nick.
