Amazing art! I love your " 30 hands"!!! The smoothness in your brush strokes is brilliant! Color and light is also very inspiring!

That is a very nice armor study. Do you usually lay in the mid tones first like that?

[chevy28360]

truly beautiful stuff in here. The brushes you are using look so natural. Love the thick texture it adds.

[Lumens]

xxshadowedsoulxx, i do not yet have a set method..sometimes i work from a dark toned background instead.

Dude loving your work =) Do you switch between Photoshop and Painter or is most of your work done in Painter? Thx's =)

[Fungus]

Your sketchbook is really inspirational, for me especially the way you work digital media like it's traditional. I also love your studies, it's great to see someone's through process when they're working on an idea for a piece. Will check back, be assured.

[black-swan]

thanks for commenting on my sketchbook.

I've really enjoy looking at your work, the painterly effect you've got in your digitals is quite unique, you don't see it very often.

You mentioned you want to become a freelance illustrator, have you done many illustration projects? ie. book covers, magazine pieces advertisement, conceptual work, sequential work, poster design etc.

[Lumens]

Kungfoowiz, thanks. i switch between ps and artrage.

Fungus, Thats cool to hear. i'm too easy on myself with studies though.

black-swan, i've done some private commissions so far, thanks.

[Greenhouse]

Yeah, the lightning in #281 is fabulous!!!!!! The blonde hair in the last post amazes me. I can’t take my eyes from it! Can I ask what sort of brush you’re using doing that hair?
Thanks for all the inspiration and wow factor in here!

[Lumens]

I used a bristle brush for the hair, thanks.
