About Henning Ludvigsen
Henning Ludvigsen, a large, friendly and talented Norwegian, with a penchant for artistic creation and a love for all things fantasy. Some speculate that he came into being when lightning struck a glacier and split it in twain around thirty-five years ago. Others maintain that he was born in Holmestrand, Norway, a small town one hour south of Oslo.
From an early age the large lad was always painting and drawing, keenly interested in putting imagination to paper or canvas. At the age of 16 he followed up on this interest and enrolled in a traditional art school for two years. Upon his graduation he secured work in the advertisement industry and began a determined and steady climb up the ladder. After only 9 years Henning was sitting in the position of Art Director for a medium sized advertisement agency.
Alongside his career, however, Henning always worked on ongoing hobby projects and personal creative endeavors, and in 2003 one of these offered an exciting opportunity to switch over into computer game development. Henning seized the opportunity and, leaving family, friends and country behind he moved, with no small amount of apprehension, to Athens, Greece where he began work on an exciting new task. Today Henning is still a partner of Aventurine S.A. from his home town of Holmestrand, Norway, developing the MMORPG Darkfall Online, a revolutionary online game offering players a unique and beautiful world where they may slaughter each other en mass. Henning now works as the Art Director for Rock Pocket Games AS in Tønsberg, Norway.
Today the large award winning Norwegian artist is living with his Swiss girlfriend and fellow artist Natascha Roeoesli.
He still takes on many side projects and has worked and provided artwork for many big names such as Fantasy Flight Games, Warhammer 40K (Games Workshop), Burton Snowboards, Eidos, and also writing articles for ImagineFX magazine (Future Publishing). When he is not working the Norse artist enjoys all kinds of board games including the role playing variety, music, and, of course, the quaffing of copious amounts of beer!
Henning is also the founder of Badger Punch Ltd, a company that focuses on digital art, board games, and smaller computer games.

I do allow some of my art work to be used for sig-tag usage.
Please understand and respect my following rules:
1) No tubing (removing of backgrounds)
2) No alterations of elements in the piece (adding/removing elements).
3) You may turn the art works into grey-scale.
4) Maintain the aspect ratio when scaling my art down, don't squeeze it.
5) Only use for non profit purposes.
6) ONLY use pieces that belong to me and NOT pieces I've done for any of my clients. You will understand from reading the descriptions if a piece was done for a client or for personal reasons.
Head over to PSP Tubes Emporium for great sig tag art. This is the ONLY place where I'm offering my art available for tubing. Thanks for supporting!
Thanks a lot
