Thanks for the comment in my book, I'm really happy with the most recent pen sketch of her, just seemed to flow from one line to the next. But I had to throw away the newest batch I just finished, just wasn't working the whole night. You can't make em all right.

As for your new demon painting....wow!

**Mikko Voipio** · August 27th, 2007, 04:18 PM

though these last portraits are looking really good, there is something dull (flat) about the eyes. They seem a bit dead to me. Maybe it's the lack of reflection or color or something. Otherwise really cool portraits.

**maxetormer** · September 1st, 2007, 09:46 AM

Ah Man! the values of this one are so sweet, loving the face!

**James Wolf** · September 16th, 2007, 01:14 AM

Excellent work. The portraits are nicely done.....
Gotta explore this method, as it seems effecient and looking at your handling of PS, gives a Very cool appearance.

**Teeth** · October 4th, 2007, 02:26 AM

Those 1hr enviros don't seem crappy to me.

**JesArt** · October 4th, 2007, 02:26 AM

Hello, Man you are an amazing artist your sketches are amazing,do you take pictures of your sketchpages or scan them, I am just asking because I am looking for a scanner to fit a 11x14 sketchbook (dame I dont think I will ever find one for a good price, anyways ). Looking at all yourself portraits I ask myself would it be hard to draw you in a caricature, and the answer is yes, I hate drawing pretty people in caricatures, well I just wanted to have a little smalltalk, and again you are a amazing artist who inspired the 18 yr. old.

**Zord** · October 4th, 2007, 05:36 AM

Damn dood, tons of progress. I saw the other enviro. on sijun and was thinking, holy... this guy's progressed like it ain't no thang'! And now you've got to show us up with a youtube video.

Is that Pinback playing in the back ground? Thought it was funny how there might've been some sort of IM or something towards the end of the video. And way to make us feel lazy with the COW too... thanks for the inspiration. I mean that in all honesty, much respect man. Cheers.

**Inkfish** · October 4th, 2007, 06:22 AM

Hey man, looking sharp!

Only thing that popped into my mind was that maybe you could introduce some irregularities to the symmetry in the portraits, right now they look great technically but, are a bit strange because of the perfect symmetry. my 2c.

**CHARLES CARVALHO** · October 4th, 2007, 10:33 PM

I liked the video. Congratulations! Resulted a beautiful work!
Hug!

**jdeegz** · October 4th, 2007, 10:52 PM

yo man, i absolutly loved looking through your book, i learned ALOT from your videos, wether you like em or not haha, so heres to more good years of art and gaining more experience! later

**zao75231** · October 6th, 2007, 05:03 AM

Hey there, love your hard work AND artwork, keep them coming

**TheDonut** · October 6th, 2007, 05:24 AM

Phenomenal work, especially your colour portraits. Love the oils, jaw dropping stuff!

I know how the 'self taught' thing feels. My teachers are hopeless.. I try to dedicate all the time I can to my art so I can improve but it's slow going. Well, if you can do it..

keep it up!

**Sirio_Brozzi** · October 6th, 2007, 05:31 AM

That 1 hour speedpaint was cool skeiff..turned out better than the second one..But heck, nice video nonetheless.

**InvertedChalupa** · October 9th, 2007, 03:42 AM

cool gun dude! Just make sure you keep an eye on things like the trigger size. right now you could probably only fit a long twig like finger in there. try to think of how the gun would sit in a real pair of hands. The front handle bar thing also looks a little small relatively speaking. I'm really only repeating what most of my teachers probably have said about my stuff : )

Great enviros too dude

**Konstruktion** · October 14th, 2007, 01:24 PM

Ok. I have watched you for a while now, great sb. Digging your traditional stuff as well as your digital ones. A while ago you posted an oil painting of an interior setting, that one is pure gold if you ask me! Also your latest digital stuff are extremely nice, really like the video you posted.

**N1ck** · October 15th, 2007, 04:53 PM

i must admit you really got me started with learning to draw (im a newbie). you made some chars which i have to say i dont just like, no, i love them.

its a bit said to not get that much stuff from you like about a year before as you posted a lot more but i really understand that its a lot work to scan you work and to replying this thread.

anyways, i want to see something from you

greets Nick

**Papparazzi** · October 22nd, 2007, 09:29 PM

Hey buddy..WOW..your work is breathtaking....very incredible and inspiring work you got. To answer your question on my thread...I always add my new stuff to the end of the first thread....just to make it one big chunk of images..so new stuff is always at the very bottom.
Thanks for stopping by and I'm really glad I discovered your work on here.
-cheers
