Heavy Art Talk Ep 35: Marald van Haasteren (Kvelertak, Metallica, Necrot, Mastodon, Baroness)

I love Marald. His smooth and slick rendering really sticks out in the scene. I also love how his digital color still maintains an organic natural feel. Sometimes digital color can have a certain sterility to it but his stays ambient and natural. Also, dude seems like the nicest guy ever.

[@HeavyArtTalk]

Agreed on all points! Awesome and super professional dude, and an excellent role model

@8:26 That book!!! I have been searching for it for so damn long. I couldn't remember who the artist was or the book title but it was fundamental in sparking my interest in art as a child. It has been bugging me for years as to who the artist was!

[@HeavyArtTalk]

I know that feeling of finally finding it!

Another great video, I don't know what I'll do when I catch up.. but MAN , every video get's me fired up to sit and DRAW. Cheers Lee!

[@HeavyArtTalk]

Hell yeah dude! Well I can confidently say I have two more coming out shortly and then it’s all about 2025!

The skull case is so cool

[@HeavyArtTalk]

We laughed off air because he thought the first thing I was going to ask about was the case full of skulls haha

I am incredebly fortunate to own one of his originals. Piece called wake up, which is part of the Purple collection. I met Marald at the a venue in the Netherlands where Baroness was playing at the time and asked him about about it. Send him a message the next day. So yeah I can confirm he is really open to this and just a really nice guy. Yes it was really expensive, but I still enjoy it every day. I grow carnivorous plants as a hobby and am a huge baroness fan for many many years. And that piece was just perfect for me. So if you see something you really like and have some money to spare just contact him.

That is so cool you own one of his originals. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your experience. Marald is a big inspiration on me as an artist and also as a professional
