Love your use of color and ship designs! Especially some of the ones on the first few pages. Hope the EVE Online design a ship thing is going well. I play that game when i get the time. Used to be really into it back in the day. Didn't realize they were doing a design contest. Hope to see more, and great work!

Love the ship designs particularly for EVE. You mentioned that you don't always have time to do what you want becuase of commissions - what sort of thing do you usually have people ask you to do?

wasabi89- Thanks dude!
ole-x- Thank you
Ardescoere_ lol thanks
FAST ART- Spaceships make you cool!
snootchy- lol i do need a new wacom, my trusty intuos3 is starting to show it's age... and use
LAL- Thanks
Soultek- Yeah i played it a few years ago and just couldn't get into it. I loved the idea and travelling about was cool but i just wished they'd simplified the skill tree a little. Ah well, thanks dude
ThomasM- Thanks! Ummm well i do a lot of illustration stuff and a lot of concept work lately. I've literally only just started working full time freelance though. This time last month i was machining wood in a saw mill for a living

Anyway, here's another shot of the Samalah. Wish i could spend more time of the actual ship

[alexson]

Your spaceships are really cool Really great design. Keep it up is all I can say!

[Holland]

Thanks alexson

[Windmaker]

I wish to steal your design skills. And... your skills in general.
Aaaand... have you thought about making the background on the pieces with the Samalah darker? To make the ship stand out more.
Anyway, the ship looks great

[seagulls]

Really great concept work. The samalah looks sweet.

DOPE!!! Do you have links to any resources on rendering spaceships in space?

[Ricardo Robles]

this ships are really inspiring, and your sketches are helping me to improve in mechanical shapes! maybe more dynamic view in this last one?
keep it great

[wilkerson]

I like your style, it reminds me of vyle.

[Holland]

[Holland]

How in the world do you have so much contrast in your pictures but make them look awesome I can not pull that off. Great stuff man, the very first thing in your gallery made me continue to look. AMAZING work... Keep it up
