Artist's Comments

You know, I thought I would never, ever do fan art, yet here I am.

I recently finished playing Silent Hill 2 (what a freakin' great game!), and was inspired to make this picture. The building in which I work was originally a nuclear physics laboratory dating back to the 1950s, and since parts of it still haven't been modernized, some of the old hallways look like they could be taken right out of the Silent Hill games. So, I took some pictures, screwed around in Photoshop, and this is the result. I'm not all that happy with it, but it's time to call it done and move on. I learned a lot about this sort of photomanipulation, though, so the next time I try something like this the result will be better.

The ceiling texture came from here, but the rest of the photos were mine. If you want to see what the hallway actually looks like, click here.

while i wasnt that impressed with silent hill 2 (or any silent hill for that matter) the images from the game are admittingly creepy. You did a very good job of recreating that same kind of creepy feel here.
Nice work man!

Thanks! I know that the Silent Hill series isn't everyone's cup of tea, but like it or not, the artistry and attention to detail that went into the visuals (and sound design, for that matter) is really impressive. It was much harder mimicking that aesthetic than I thought it would be, even though I took a number of liberties with the style.

Maybe it's time to borrow the silent hill game from my friend... ;-)
Very creepy picture, good work! ( i like the reflection on the floor-tiles! )

Cool, I'm glad that somebody noticed the reflection! I think that's the sort of detail that generally goes unnoticed when it's there, but sticks out like a sore thumb when it's not. You should definitely check out the Silent Hill games if you haven't already; even though they have some weak points (such as atrocious voice acting and frequently corny dialog), the atmosphere that they create is amazingly good. Frankly, those games scare the crap out of me! :)
