Flat out awesome.

Really good work. I like especially color. The first one has really nice interesting textures.

Fantastic and otherworldly!

Brilliant work Mate. Love the suits and the one with the blades is very appealing. Cool! Atmospheric work is very classy as well but that shuttle/ship is very nice. Would love to see that developed more.

**Rorz** · August 15th, 2010, 05:59 PM

Wow I like this. This work is beautiful. It feels like it's got a really light touch but also a real depth in mood.

Exellent work! Am I seeing some Klimt influence in the 1st picture?
Just a small thing I noticed (take it or leave it): In nr. 12, the receeding iron(?) 'panels' could be treated with some aerial perspective and that wouldn't distract from the strongly graphic aestetich you have going in the picture. This would add greater emphasis ont the cowboys as well. I wanted to say something about edge varety, but I think in this case, adjusting the values would be more effective and it wouldn't distract from the original style.

Five stars from me.

Thanks for the comment! I definitely see what you getting at. Maybe I'll try a new piece with your feedback in mind.

Klimts the man.
Thanks everyone.

Oh man, I love your brushwork. LOVE it. You have your own style and it is working really well.
Really nice stuff. Really. Really really.

Concepts for Halo Reach
Done during an internship over at Bungie.

@TheGnoll- Thanks man! I definitely "borrow" a lot from artist who I feel have established solid techniques and methods in their work

@Cicinimo- Thanks dude. You can't go wrong with the old space marine! Hopefully, I'll be seeing you around at the regular figure drawing spots very soon.

**wazabi** · October 26th, 2010, 02:20 PM

I love your style, color, and mood. Great work!

**Velocity Kendall** · October 26th, 2010, 05:21 PM

So awesome

**Mandryk** · October 26th, 2010, 05:59 PM

man these are gorgeous....the halo ones are really slick. More!

**Duman** · October 26th, 2010, 08:39 PM

Awesome. I see most of those Halo concepts made it into the game virtually unchanged. Most of them are instantly recognizable. I especially enjoy the Mass Driver and the opening environment for "Tip of the Spear".
