“Mickey Mouse”

“Death Note- Ryuk”

Q: Hello Maxim and welcome to the PxlEyes community! Please introduce yourself.

A: Hello there! I am Maxim Verehin, a 22 year old concept artist born in a small town somewhere in Russia. So far I’ve been living with my parents working as a freelance artist, but I am planning to change my location and get a permanent job at a bigger game company soon.

“Red Dragon”

Q: You’re a greatly talented digital painter. How do you find your inspiration?

A: Ha-ha! Well, thank you! When I am not depressed with my art and my general progress the ideas usually come naturally. They come from songs, movies, games and photos altogether.

“River Styx”

Q: Realism, fantasy or humor? Which one represents your works better and why do you chose that?

A: As a concept artist you are entitled to be able to create stuff that doesn’t exist in real world. Also I’ve been a huge sci-fi\fantasy fan since I was a kid.

“Green Dragon”

Q: Are you a full time artists or do you have other hobbies/job?

A: I think that I am basically interested in everything just like everyone else, although I try not to waste my time and pay more attention to studying. Ideally I’d love to be able to draw all day long, a good 8-12 hours.

“PARANOID: Wasp”

Q: Natural talent or lots of practice?

A: I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who were initially talented and it gave them a good kick start, but I cannot really say I am gifted. I mean all that I can do is due to endless hours of nerdy practice with the tablet.

“Michael Hussar Tribute”

Q: Please give a little piece of advice for the newbies just starting out in this field of art.

A: Draw in your spare time and some time in half a year or so take a look back at you old stuff – you are guaranteed to see major improvements. This motivates more than anything else. So you keep doing that for a couple of years – bam! One day you wake up realizing you are making money doing your favorite thing – drawing. How cool is that? 🙂
