Shahrul Nizam Selamat

Today I share with you the wonderful fantasy/sci-fi art of Shahrul Nizam Selamat.

It comes in a good time that I find Shahruls fantastic imaginative art, because this past week I have started to draw again a bit more then usual. I normally just have a typical quick sketching that only happens about every 3 to 4 months. But I should keep consistent with the practice, because I am extremely rusty at this point.

I am amazed that artists like Shahrul exist, as he is so effective to project a fantasy world in every piece. I have no idea how anyone can have an imagination where they can create so much detail and create a picture perfect surrounding that fit his characters. All the elements in his pieces are always cohesive with his compositions.

In my case I can create the main character, or the main focus point and concept, but I was never good at drawing a background or surroundings. I would not know where to start. But in the other hand you have Shahrul who has so much to offer in this aspect, and give you more then enough of it!.

Shahrul's color choices and accents are on-point. I can look at the water reflection in the first picture and separate myself from whatever I am doing at the moment. It is a joy to see his color combinations and perfect shading.

I will update you with the latest art piece I am working on in the next blog entry. I am trying a new style which was inspired by my experimention of the sketch in the previous post. So far it is coming out pretty good. But in the meantime I suggest you continue observing the rest of Shahruls artwork displayed in his website or Deviant account. He has many wonderful pieces to spark a pleasant distraction.
