Hey Ed! Finally found your sketchbook...hehe!!!

Sweet stuff, especially the last one. Love how simple it is, yet the right amount of details in the right places, great.!

Looking forward to see more Earthrise stuff. And i hope you and all the other guys are doing well over at masthead.

PS.: I'm a little bit disapointed, because I suggested Miro at the "behind the iron curtain" event to change the name of the game to "the earth that rises"...but it seems masthead doesn't appreciate good ideas...hehe

[Mattinian]

[Jaunay]

Wow, all your images are really crisp and polish for sketches, they look like american grade film, which is a really striking way to create dynamic lighting and texture, you do it so well.

What programs do you use?

[gunsbins]

Wow, just wow, very nice art here man, especially the last one, love the light effect you've put into it, a color dodge brush, right? btw, if you have time, please have a look on my SB, I really need some advices for my enviros, thanks

[JakehC]

you have a very articulate way of image making. that is defenitely an artistic virtue.

[Lightpunk]

Nice nice nice!

[dan liimatta]

wonderful concepts - and it's refreshing to see all the methods you use and all the things you do try

Also so few do concepts here - at least not in the sense you do and in the quantity - I really should aspire to be do more things like these, yet my own.

Thanks for posting - and some ideas are just crazy - yet they work so well

[Mattinian]

thanks guys. 3:30 AM - I don`t understand why I keep doing this over and over

custom shapes tryout

[Caspia]

I don't really have any useful feedback other than WOOT MECHS! Can't wait to see more.

[NickyBeats]

yours is one of my favorite sketchbooks one here! so much power in these images!!

[MarcSampson]

[MacTire]

Wow, fantastic concepts here. Loving the latest updates!!!

[Mattinian]

animation i`m experimenting with in my free unemployed time :]

[unnamed.device]

wow your animations are really cool. Would love to see some kind of instruction on how & what you're using.

[Mattinian]

unnamed.device : i will - once i get the hang of it too :]
no sleep tonight

[NickyBeats]

nice one man! -and im with you... havent slept in almost three days.... and i just drove a car about half way up and then down the east coast of US. so tired,, but i still have to paint something before i sleep.

[f1x]

this last piece is a killer, and its only starting,

also that animation experiment on #206, I would call it success already!

[Mattinian]

more animation... testing out more complicated movement and character
