    Vlad74 - It's still not as expressive as I want it to be but I'll get there
    Erikly - Thanks, I have to post more often!

    10 min sketches, firearms (because my brain was telling me I couldn't paint them and I decided to prove him wrong) and another sketch-experiment.

    Holy cow! Everything here has so much energy and life! It's amazing!

    I think should be focusing on getting experience with rendering things more detailed and better polished, because you already have a lot of energy and visual communication with your use of colour and gesture. Subscribing because it's really inspirational. Keep up the good work!

    I really admire your work. Your colors are bright and saturated and figure lose and dynamic.

    Hi, great work, just wanted to leave my thoughts on last piece since you requested it, unless you want to apply for dc comics, i don't think have a fan art piece of wonder woman is so great idea, it would be more interesting for people looking at your portfolio to see your own designs rather then someone else, again just my thoughts, keep up the good work!

    snatti: yeah, about that, I was just preparing for the comic con (honestly I would love to work on comics too) but I agree, it has no business being on my portfolio

    Nice studies, lovely portrait!
    Your work in general has so much energy and character in it, something I admire a lot.
    Thanks again for the paintover

    Great studies. Really digging your confident brush strokes and use of color. Definitely would like to see more finished pieces from you. Keep posting.

    I think I got a bit exited and now I don't have any hours left to sleep before work oh well... maybe I'll touch it up and upload the process, as soon as I don't need monster cans to stay awake
