Austrian illustrator Michael Ostermann has been creating  gloomy, dark-minded and anomalous digital art for several years and enjoys experimenting with surrealistic concepts, always striving to improve his work. Every project is different; in both needs and approach, he usually likes to start with a good photograph, a good idea that sets the mood of the overall image. He then applies his self-made resources and uses several photo-manipulation techniques, seeing where it leads.
