Hi. My name is Viktor Jung and I'm from Czech Republic. I went in for sport a lot when I was young and I had a lot of hobbies, but drawing was not one of them in that time, as in case of many other artist. As far as I can remember I have newer drawn or painted a thing when I was child. Only in my twenty-one I started to be interested in drawing. I lost my job so I had a lot of free time then. Computer games were one of my hobbies since primary school so i started to draw characters, items and environments that I found in them. I found out I had enjoyed it a lot and it may be quite good to put more effort into it. Maybe in that time I started to dream about a career of an artist in games developing company. At this time, I admired Luis Royo, Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta fantasy paintings but never fancied to imitate them or make them my example or try something like it... well, with one exception. In 2001 I painted a copy of Fallen Angel II by Luis Royo, but that was all.
I have never been concerned with fantasy ever since. More, it has always been some sort of a quiet admiration of the genre. I have never known anything about pin-up art in that time, however. I do not know what was the spark that lit the fire in me, the passion to paint women, perhaps it was the moment I first saw Sorayama Hajime and Olivie de Berardinis paintings. I have liked them so much I wanted to try something similar. And because it was quite good and I enjoyed drawing a lot, I started to do it full-time. Now, pin-up drawing is sort of an addiction to me. As I finish one painting I am really looking forward to it being done, then I enjoy a short break and then, there is another model and another work to be done. When I have drawn my first painting my dream came true and I started to work in games developing company...
