great updates man, that torso creature is sick.

**Lazy** · August 13th, 2006, 10:31 AM

WOW! These are simply amazing!
What brush do you use in painter?
Your style is so bold and strong, really wonderful to see, your COW with the arms and torsos is really disturbing, just the way i like it!

Hello, I will talk about art in a minute.

. Just a bit pondering , just for few teeny tiny minutes

. You are from London! How nice. I think I left my heart there. And when I saw UK near you name I suddenly wanted to talk about Love

, meaning London

. Hope you love it too. Do you?

And then I read your description near avatar and my heart slightly jumped. I mistakenly read "Showman"! Man, I was so happy again, thought I found the right person, my lost half and we will be like conjoined twins, chatting not stop, hehehe. Will you imagine my disappointment when I saw the real word.
How could this be? I don't believe this. May I ask why you chose the Snowman to represent you here? It is impossible, you know, it is just can't be.

...removed some stuff... too crazy to read.

OK, moving to real legitimate reason to write on forum.
Art.

Your knight lost in the snow touched me, very strongly. Man, it is the baddest thing in the world, being alone and ill or wounded. We are all afraid of this. funny isn't it? his armour has no use. He would trade it now for something as simple as carrot. I feel for him. He is sympathetic to me nevertheless if he is a good guy or bad one.
So I say very good communication with your viewer, on all levels: body language, strong screaming colors, his pose, his face expression, and I would say despair in your brush strokes, or maybe it is just very right fit for the theme.

What I like even more in you art is your sense of humour. A bit unexpected in very many pieces and it''s great!

http://img129.echo.cx/img129/9580/joan0tf.jpg here. those springs crawling out of the girl armour make me smile, they are like the springs from the old mattress, need to be out, old enough to get out of the "nest" to see new exiting world. Heheh her hair too, nice touch. She is very cozy and personal after you did that additions. You are not Snowman, don't fool yourself.

http://img173.imageshack.us/img173/2092/teachervj2.jpg Again, thank you for that. Sweet talent of yours to make life lighter and sympathetic around you. I don't know what those two playing in to, what kind of an imaginative game, but they are harmless.

http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/6...ground80qt.jpg Takes my breast every time I look at it. I did several times already. Beauty.

http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5452/welcomehw5.jpg Lovely mechanical girl. so graceful. and she is a child, do they ever grow? the robot children? This one could be never aging loveliness.
Ahh, you have wonderful skills. faces are interesting in your art work, they are sincere, unpretentious. So this is your feature I think, You don't like phony. You like natural.

Some faces have interesting flaws sometimes, eyes are on different height.

It is rare though.

So great book.
I liked your metro-sexual pirate very much and especially how lukavi said about him: he knows he is beautiful.
Isn't lukavi awesome? I wish I could say a lot with minimum.

**Skureal** · August 15th, 2006, 08:14 AM

soo aweosme man! i love the transformers and these are freakin sweet

**vigostar** · August 21st, 2006, 04:39 PM

Fantastic work Andrew... Really great shit.. I love the narrative... You should continue this.. maybe make a couple of panels a week.. that would be awesome... Then maybe who ever publishes the transformer comic would ask you to do some kickass artwork for them.... then everyone from CA would go out and buy the comic and you'll become a superstar... YEAH!!!

Sorry about that Im a bit hyper right now... but, i really do like them.... alot.

**cartoonfox** · August 21st, 2006, 07:27 PM
