[razz]

Sweet creature designs! I like the crazy color variations on them. Sketchbook pages are insane too, love them!

[Overtoom]

Amazing paintings! The creatures, the colors, the dynamics, it's all there. Great stuff!

[Riox]

Hooooly crap, I love this sketchbook. It's not too often you come across an artist as talented as yourself but you gems ae out there and thats the soul reason I love these sites so much. Great, fun images and I can't wait to see what else you create!

Groovy ne updates mang! Keep the creatures coming!

[Metal Fingers]

Thanks y'all! I finished up the C.O.W. I've attached the concept description as well.

"Born of vile toxins, and pestilential miasma in our futures landfills, these parasitic organisms rose in great numbers into our skies upon a breach of our containment domiciles. Evolving within a volatile, gaseous environment the creatures grew to excrete the own air they breathe through digestive functions. It was only when they had escaped the large contained landfills, we realized our folly. They bred in such rapacious numbers upon escape, their excretions soon blotted out the skies. They poisoned the upper atmosphere while simultaneously trapping themselves within it. Contained within their self made prison, with a population sky rocketing and a food source dwindeling, these creatures soon resorted to cannabalism. Leaving us, with The Ravenous Ceiling."



Some of my fantasy flight work is finally out, its old! but its out, so I'll be posting that up here pretty soon.

thanks for dropping by!

Saw your flying creature in the COW forums and had to check out your SB. I am not disappointed that I did. Great work, mate; I will certainly be checking your work out as often as I can!

[Linzwinz]

So the time I just blew away picking through parts of your SB was time very well spent. That was awesome.

[Metal Fingers]

and some thumbnails for the next C.O.W!

[Metal Fingers]

Some of my fantasy flight work has been released, here are two I am certain I can show! Cheers!





Cheers!

I like the last F.F.G. illustrations! nice painted feel on the last one! is done is Painter?

[Metal Fingers]

Thanks man! I started some roughs from the thumbnails I did the other night.

[I STRaY I]

Awesome, awesome work. Inspirational really, thanks for sharing it! Oh and GO BLAZERS!

[llex_paul]

I like the first 3 ones, keep up the good work with those vivid colors!

[Metal Fingers]

Thanks y'all, definitely still working out some design kinks in the gas filled creature. Here is another of my 40k paintings done up last year, this is probably the first character illustration I actually really liked towards the end.

[Betty86]

great creatures and vivid colours! character from last update also look really good (maybe just add a little shadow so he is not floating in air )

[llex_paul]

looks good and nice details! btw how long do you usually have to wait for an illustration to be allowed to show public. I`m interested in FFG policy about this. Thanks!

[MrFrenik]

Such cool shit, man.

[Metal Fingers]

Thanks y'all! Alright, I had to submit an earlier version of this guy due to the deadline, but there is what I'd like to have submitted to this weeks C.H.O.W, The Swamp Hermit.

[Medelo]

So inspirational, love your work!

[Metal Fingers]

Thanks dude!

Finished up this weeks creature of the week a while ago, on with the show!

[Hive_minD]

Dude, your work is amazing. Keep it up, you are really an inspiration!

Love the non-typical approach to the cyclops; feels more like an actual creature rather then just a large one-eyed man.
