Ryohei Hase is a freelance illustrator from Tokyo, Japan. His art is dark, surreal and beautiful all at the same time.
I am a huge fan of Michael Ostermann's digital art illustrations. Each one sucks you into a surreal alternate world. Here is how he describes his process:
"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."

This is a fantastic Batman comic illustration by illustrator Jock. It is composed mostly of simple lines and coloring, but the compilation of them creates a really impressive illustration. I find the "the black mirror" text at the bottom especially effective. It has a shaky handwritten style that further exemplifies the ominous feeling of the piece.
