I got permission to post some of the work I recently did for The TOPPS Company. These designs we're done to create a unified look for all the Martian war machines in the new comic book series. The comic book artists will use my designs as a template in the series. This was a awesome job, I didn't have to create any shiny illustrations, it was pure design.T he new series is being published by IDW. Go check it out.

The project raised the funding it needed.

I like the Banshee. ...It looks like a cross between a D&D chain monk and a WoW high-level Warlock.

[Ebony-chan]

All I can say is wow wow wow. Great work all around. =)

[Lone Wolf]

Ebony-chan- thank you.

[El Assandro]

Great work. Nice to see someone else from toronto here as well.

[triple7allstar]

Dude - you are very good. What would you charge a musician (myself) for logo work? Just curious. I have a production label and an artist name that I would need logo's for. Would need to be similar in look and feel. PM me with your pricing and we can chat further about this.

Thanks

[Radio24]

there's some awesome work in here. a sin cit fan i see... nice stuff. i love the line work, and the t-shirt designs rock. good luck!

Life Drawing.

[Digital_Blacksmith]

You know, you have alot of phallic art in there......but you are damn good at what you do.

[Lone Wolf]

Raverunner- strange comment.I don't see that in my art. Thanks

[Digital_Blacksmith]

Most artists don't see it in their own work. Its just one of those things. Even I do it in alot of my art. But if you look at your art, you will see that alot of your men are holding something up usually at their crotch, pointed upwards slightly, or have a bulge with something on the front, or even armor as on your mech "Gatekeeper"....especially that one....But no, its not a bad thing, since you do infact have awesome work.

Atlantic Claw Serpent:

These creatures roam the deeps of the Atlantic ocean preying upon anything that comes within their reach.
Their favorite prey are the land dwellers that come into the deep encased in their metal shells. The satisfaction of ripping through the land dweller's tough shells to get at the soft flesh within is without equal.

I have worked with Mr. Sztaba for about a year now, I would recommend him to any art job out there. He's a quick learner and can deliver quality work in a short amount of time.

Wow! I love every piece of work you have here. You are so talented. What advice would you give me to become as good as you are?

Love the characters, and vehicles.

Words can't describe how much i like this artwork.

[Lone Wolf]

ElandI- thank you very much. My advice is too keep drawing and practicing. Do life studies, and that's all there is too it.

[jeremygordon89]

I think that every one of your pieces is inspiring. Keep up the great work! I definitely hope I can be as good as you one day soon.

Much respect

[Lone Wolf]

Wow man! I love that piece of work. That character is dutifully menacing and very organic looking. How long does a work like this take you? Very inspiring.

[Lone Wolf]

UPDATED WITH NEW T-SHIRT DESIGNS FOR R2L.

ElandI- glad you like these pieces. Each piece took about 3-4 days from sketch to final.

[Lone Wolf]

Updated with new work at the top of the page.

[Henchman 21]

[Lone Wolf]

Updated with new work.

[Lone Wolf]

Looking for work again. Updated with new work.

[xoFoxyGirlox]

I really like your work. Your work sort of reminds me of Star Wars with the sorts of things you draw. You should seriously consider drawing General Grievous.
