Yer very kind.

Nubb-
I do my best! Even when I don't. I guess that doesn't work... does it!? LOL

KenJ-
The drawing board is my favorite place!

HunterKiller_
I've always been a fan of the art on MtG, some serious badasses on that one dude. And they are pulling from the concept art community at an alarming rate.


Android-
Cheers, brother!

xchosun1x-
Color is always a challenge for me. I get so lazy by the time I get to that point, that I never know what's gonna come! Gotta work on my speed though, to actually make this freelance worth it! What's yer secret?

Racasdorph-
Thanks!

chain&jane-
Woohoo! Starman! Thanks G. ^_^


Pavel Sokov-
That three headed worm thing was a hell of a challenge. I'm pleased ya like it!

Bowlin-
They said they used it for promotional art for the release of 4e, but I never saw it anywhere. I hope people dug it!

Incinerated-
All them guys are my heroes too!

mr. m-
Thanks a mill, man! It'll be a little while before I can post a big clump of MTG stuff, could be a year. But there's more personal work to come soon!

Carnifex-
Thanks man! I'm really pleased you dig it. One's eyes get so myopic after staring at the same stuff all day. It makes me happy to know people see the effort!

Dahami-
You don't enjoy being disturbed? LOL

kelly x-
I don't know of Litto, who dat?

Iridyse-
Cheers!

baxart-
Thanks mang!

TheDirtSyndicate-
LOL! You keep watchin, and I'll keep painting for sho!

shadoman-
They did end up awkwardly surreal, ne? I think it fits the world pretty well! More stuff from this set is soon to follow, at least three or four more cards, I believe.

DanielC-
Thanks, man!

Troubadour-
Thanks! I've got to work on the dynamics a bit more, I worry my figures might be a little stiff sometimes! Glad you likey!

[PsiBug]

I case I haven't already commented...

AWESOME! Your art makes my brain go "EEEEEEEE!"

[Geir]

I can only say what you've heard several times. Friggin awsome! Love your brushwork. And your imagimation? Love it

[ikuru]

"EEEEEEEE!" :p

[krossj]

incredible stuff man!

[Dave Kendall]

These are great Izzy. i remember seeing these cards as I progressed through mine. They blew me away. Like Andrew that sphinx was a real eye-exploder. Thanks for posting and raising the bar high.

[Sean McMurchy]

The work you do fits so well with my taste. Its cool to see your work for wizards of the coast as that's something I'm interested in getting onto as well some day, It shows me were I need to be. Vary cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

[Helltroll]

Brilliant, brilliant stuff for the Esper shard.
Love it.

[cannibalcandy]

Just finished another set of initial sketches for a few new magic cards, and in lieu of playing video games for too long tonight, I painted for a few hours... Another Ariokh's Muse portrait. If any of you are on DA an you want to see me destroy your visage check out: http://ariokh.deviantart.com/journal/13440628/

C&C always welcome. I'm ever learning.

[inmygucci]

Awesome as always...

The last one reminded me of a show I watched when I was in college on MTV...

[jMarkus]

I have no critiques for you, you are way out of my league, however I did just look through your whole thread, and was admiring all of your artwork... I am about to do some concepts for a friend, and you just gave me all the inspiration I need, your work is just stunning my friend, one of my fav artists right now I must say, heres 5 stars, cheers!

[cannibalcandy]

[Vulgar`]

The adventures of Sockface and his Nemesis Turtleneck!

Errrrrrheee

[Steve Somers]

Wow, I can't believe I haven't come across your stuff on here before now. Saw your latest beast for COW and had to see your other stuff - lovely, lovely work.

[e338]

always a treat for the eyes. But damn, this Sphinx is soooo good.

[cannibalcandy]

"It's finally finished" has never been so bloody poignant! Three years now and finally GOW3 is done, shipped, and played. It was a pretty fun project, and the team I got to work with were dynamite. It was a real honor to work with Cecil, Andy, Jung, Scott, Andrew, Todd, Erik, Cliff and the rest of the art group. What a very skilled group of guys. I really did learn a ton.

A lot of stuff is rough, but one of the things I really dug about Sony was their willingness to let us do things in a more painterly fashion. I'll be doing maybe three dumps this week so you can easily sift through all the stuff! So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy!

































































Stay Tuned... LOTS more coming!
