His hyper realistic renderings are painted by hand in Photoshop, and he uses real life 'muses' to inspire the details.

"I usually have a certain vision in my head of the character, and I start by thinking of and looking for people or real-life pictures that somehow remind me of the character I am working on." Jirka Väätäinen
