Join 18 time Chesley Award winner Donato Giancola in his Brooklyn studio for three days as he creates his latest space masterpiece, The Mechanic.

Donato begins the DVD by taking photographic reference, used to add a high degree of realism and detail to his thumbnail sketch. Work on the the actual oil painting gives him opportunity to cover everything from the delicate subtleties of portraiture to eye-popping metallic surfaces. Throughout the video Donato generously passes on his years of experience and ends by inviting the viewer to surpass his own accomplishments. Massive Black and ConceptArt.Org welcome the viewer to rise to the occasion!

I'm not familiar with this artist, but looks like a very cool pic. Is it Photoshop?

**OldJake666** · July 6th, 2009, 09:05 PM

Oils... this will be great!

Holy crap I cant wait, I was at the Illustration Master Class 3 weeks ago and Donato announced that he was coming out with a CA dvd though he didnt say when. Is it going to be several hours like Dan's? and is it going to cover his drawing or is it just strictly oil painting?

**Theking78** · July 7th, 2009, 12:58 AM

This can't be true...... it's a dream for me to see how Donato Gianicola can create his beautiful paintings!
Thank you very much MB!

Jeezy creezy.

Donato is a phenomenal artist with a hugely impressive body of traditional artwork under his belt. Well worth looking into if you're not familiar with his output. He has that WOOOOOOOW factor with the majority of his offerings. He's done some absolutley beautiful work based on LOTR. Classic and memorable. Also some more recent works like dead mermaids washed up on the beach. Just jaw dropping stuff!

**lyon** · July 8th, 2009, 03:46 PM

Brilliant! Cannot wait.

**Zaknafain** · July 8th, 2009, 07:01 PM

fuck yeah!

**biplav kumar** · July 9th, 2009, 12:27 AM

**Divine Oblivion** · July 11th, 2009, 08:04 PM

Do freaking WANT.

Can't wait for this one!

**Kamikazebob** · July 11th, 2009, 10:12 PM

I'm impatient for a trailer now. Cant wait.

**Serpian** · July 13th, 2009, 02:31 PM

Yes. I want.

**DBMiller** · September 6th, 2009, 09:33 AM

Any word on a release date? I can't wait for this one.

**MassiveDVD** · September 9th, 2009, 03:49 PM

Thanks for your interest everyone.

It's going to be 5 hours long. It begins with a photo shoot of his model and ends with a final painting.

The editing is finished... now it's just a matter of cleaning up audio, making menus, getting proofs of the DVD, and so forth. This process can take awhile, unfortunately, so my guess is that the release date will be the week after next. We'll have a couple other solid releases between now and then, though.

The video was shot in HD, but it looks like there's not enough demand to release it on BluRay so right now it's looking to be DVD or downloadable.

Cheers.

Sounds great. Can't wait to see what other videos are in store.

**DBMiller** · September 10th, 2009, 11:01 AM

Very, very sweet!

**escape2mars** · September 11th, 2009, 04:08 AM

So excited about this. I've always been curious about his technique. His oils have such a beautiful glow.

**joespadaford** · September 26th, 2009, 01:44 PM

I went to Syracuse just after he graduated... he's a legend there. Roger Demuth, his teacher has a print of his student work... yeah its pretty much as good as his pro work. Also he did a comic for a school comic book for fun...yeah, it looked like it was at way higher caliber than the rest of us. So needless to say, I have been waiting a while to see his work.

**DeckardSolo** · October 2nd, 2009, 09:08 AM

Oooh...can't wait. When when when? I love Donato's work...especially his scifi subject matter. Reminds me so much of an old favorite - Jim Burns. I wonder if there was any connection there.

**Noah Bradley** · October 2nd, 2009, 11:04 AM

It's been a few weeks now. Any better estimation of a release date now?

You can note my nervous excitement about this video.

**Spirit** · October 2nd, 2009, 01:55 PM

Wow, how had I not heard of him before! His work is... well, mind blowing! This is definately on the long list of things im going to be buying from this site, thats for sure

Thank you for posting the link, Elwell! I love that he has his finished works, and also for many of them his initial sketches etc, I love to see how other artists came up with their ideas!

**Darkside** · October 9th, 2009, 04:43 PM

hey guys, any news on this one? Like Noah, I´m terrible exited getting my hands on that
