**Lake** · October 10th, 2005, 08:55 PM

good one, and yes, very mononoke-ish. but s'all good, if it came from the heart.

**Carnifex** · October 11th, 2005, 04:34 PM

Van - good to ehar from you my friend thanks for the comment

anyway jes finished this, its kinda ass but there a deadline only had today to really draw it, its for the new environment of the week, its a bit ass and the description blows but i promised form i would post:

TITAN FORTRESS-
Gate 42 of the titan fortress allowing entry to craft with only the appropriate identification signature.

The "gates" a complex series of above ground outposts provide one of the few visible parts of the titan fortress which expand for a massive distance underground (gate 42 being about 63km from the known center) intelligence reports suggest that it is entirely self sufficent, not just in the realms of sustinance but also concerning research and developement of new technologies, as it is rumored to be in league with the Taima Initiative and various other large corporations. Its suspected to have personel some where between two hundred thousand to ninehundred and fifty thousand, and easily enough equipment to wage a medium size war against almost any opponent.

**van** · October 21st, 2005, 07:01 PM

That rocks.

**Jtoons** · October 21st, 2005, 08:21 PM

seriously nice job with those landscapes. nice use of depth in all of them. cheers. keep it going.

**fakeraaven** · October 23rd, 2005, 02:12 PM

Haha... Remember me dropping by to tell you that we're trying to attend the same school? Looks like we both made it. Well, see you at school sometime i guess.

Fantastic stuff you've got going, by the way. Lots of improvements since i last checked back.

**I.was.ink** · October 23rd, 2005, 02:57 PM

Wow, nice progression rook.
It looksl ike you're pushing yourself in all sorts of different directions and its cool to see that.
That last envirnoment is looking nice. Just keep at it, you're doing a good job!

**Eytan** · October 23rd, 2005, 09:06 PM

very cool, love that ship
the ground is kind of up close and in the background at the same time, I cant really see it, is it on a slope?

**Lake** · October 24th, 2005, 11:32 AM

hey man - crits for this one on the EOW voting thread.

**Hanuka** · October 30th, 2005, 06:01 PM

nice sketchbook btw. - i love your enviros

**hurricane** · October 30th, 2005, 06:15 PM

that one confuses me depthwise, the depth isnt believable because of the way you colored it... its the bottom half that fubars it

try to cover the areas with your hand..

cheers man and what you need to do is to rar every envirothing you've done and send it to me! i love em all !! i want to be the third person that walks around in them..

thanks for the inspiration

**blankslatejoe** · December 11th, 2005, 10:13 AM

**Tigermilk** · December 11th, 2005, 10:57 AM

totally awsome digitals, I like it alot!

**Zebz** · December 11th, 2005, 12:30 PM

I really like that last concept, how cool would it be to work next to a water fall? I'd run through it on my lunch breaks. lol This sketchbook was a pleasure to look through. You put a lot of love into these bad boys! I'm glad to see all the hardwork. Especially all of the studies from life. You've really set a fire in me... I've gotta get more of those done. Thanks for the inspriation. I'll be watchin, mate.

**Red_Rook** · January 14th, 2006, 10:41 AM

**cotron** · January 16th, 2006, 04:08 PM

great t-dome piece man, you're getting to the next level. can't wait to see what you do next.

**bumskee** · January 16th, 2006, 04:14 PM

Red, wow... the last image is brilliant!! bloody fantastic. love the slight shift in the little girls pose and nice use of cool lighter shadows. Although I do notice sometimes black outlines in your work can be slightly overwhelming. Just a little.

I quite like the warrior chick, a little broken in terms of values but nice design overall, the perspective studies are little gems, making an awsome progress.

cheers
