Been about time you've started a book here. I really dig your figure drawings and the bookcover turned out pretty nice.
Keep that up and post some more ;)

NICE work so far in here, ability... That WIP monster guy is begging for an environment, though;) Keep it up - look forward to see more soon.

awesome sb you got here, your life drawings are really nicely done, love your lines. i'm also diggin your character designs, but i think they are uploaded slightly too small which isn't doing them justice because i can see you put a grip of details into your works but with them so small you can't really take it all in. just a minor gripe though just keep up the great work can't wait to see more.

Hi there!
The sepia giant is nice! :) With the text it looks very good.
The old jedi head looks too small. Keep on keep on! :)

Really great start dude ! your work is really good . For the last chara design, I really find the head a bit smaller than the rest of the body. So keep it up, and I'm looking forward to see more of your stuff :)

Love the looseness of your initial sketches. Sometimes I like those even more than the finished product.
Try not to loose that in the transition to the detailed drawing.

Hi everyone!
@Mr.Juicy: I dont think so, but its an inspiration for something else I planning to do.
@InFame: Thank you, yeah they could be bookcovers for fantasy books, youre right. But how I said to Mr.Juicy, they are an inspiration for another pic I planning to do. More stuff is coming, dont worry. ^^
@Pandahund: Thank you friend, i know we get along wonderfully. :D
@hunchbackmagee: Thank you hunch, I'll try! :D

Nice chimps! What are you using for that font? Or are you making that yourself somehow? It gives a very professional feel to your pages! That illustration major is really showing through :) Good job!!

Thanks for the info! Nice new design by the way:) His face seems a bit thin for his massive frame, but a lot of that is probably hidden by the collar. Keep up the awesome work :)
