[DanielC]

you sir are one of the super duper few that i would gladely post for on here just cause you do an awesome job. Keep it up man :]

[Crahzz]

Great mixture of sketches and paintings - I especially like how you blend traditional with digital. Have to say the latest anatomy study is a bit of a mess I remember having to draw and model every one of the 206 bones + all of the muscles.. jikes. Anyway, Ryan pointed me in your direction and I'm glad he did. Cool stuff =D

[Swampdigger]

Wooh, your stuff is super nice and really inspiring. I'm surprised I haven't stumbled across your stuff at some other point. Keep rocking it!

Great sb and , very interesting bio. I always thought life in Asia is a bit more interesting but it's all the same as here in Croatia ( europe, above Italy). I'm talking about the part to please your parents and all that.I too kinda think about contributing to the society, but it's kinda hopeless in the current system so I found out about "The Venus Project" and it's pretty much talking the stuff I think are right and the next system in evolution of mankind. So here and there I talk with people about it, trying to expand their conciousness but more often than not, negativity arise from them in trying to defend their status-quo.
