Lund, Skåne, Sweden.
Name's Benjamin Sjöberg. I recently achieved my Bachelors degree in Industrial Design at the University of Lund, and I guess now is the time to get a portfolio going and start looking for work as a professional concept artist. Of course I still feel I have a lot to learn, so constructive comments/pointers are appreciated :)

Battle School.
With the Ender’s Game movie coming up, I wanted to explore my own ideas of what the orbital Battle School might look like.
Polished up the sparkpunk character design for my portfolio. I really liked the way it turned out so I thought I’d put it up here as well. I hope you like it too :)
Old meets New no.7 - Knight v. Ship
A different take on the classic tale of the knight v. dragon. Perhaps this is how a first encounter might play out in medieval times.
Old meets New no.6
Been working on a new brush for some time now, and I finally seem to be getting the look I’ve been looking for.
Old meets New no.2
Inverted as it is, this ship looks almost like an ancient effigy to some god or demon.
Old meets New no.1
I recently got inspired by Bungie’s concept pieces for the upcoming Destiny. Fantasy meets Sci-fi - it doesn’t get any more classic than that.
Paolo Coelho’s The Alchemist
Painted a set of locations from the book, following Santiago’s travels through Spain, Northern Africa and the Saharan desert. I tried for a more traditional painterly look with these, pushing the colors and proportions of things slightly into the realm of the fantastic. Hopefully, if you’ve read the book yourselves, you might recognize the locations. Enjoy :)
The Sorghum.
The pirates of Armada have managed to hijack an entire deep sea drilling platform - the New Crobuzon vessel Sorghum. With it, they plan to plunder even the earth itself, and fill their chests with riches of oil and rockmilk.
