So, whatever, here, some kind of characters. i hope you enjoy that.

Hey Leo,

I've been admiring your stuff for a while now; very solid skills. Was wondering if you could tell us how long it took to do each of those finished character designs in post #302 and also how long it took for the environment in post #259 Thanks!

[`rawr]

pretty wicked book you got going here, I'll be checking back often

[Reject-D]

Grizzliman, thanks for interesting comment

[Call0ps]

for some one who hates job u did an killer work, u have an big problem i think theres no way to fix it, u cant stop improving xD seriously i love to see your work, keep posting plz

[KelsM]

You have a fantastic sense of color. I really like your WIP sketches. The elves are great, I love the cold blue lighting, really feels wintery. Tell me, do you have an initial color palette in mind when you start these, or do you work it up as you go?

[Reject-D]

ive had the same questions as the above post as well..

two questions i would like to add though is where do you get your inspiration.. and when you first look at your blank screen where do you start?

[lalovergel]

Amazing! please keep sharing!

[Mark Bot]

excellent work.
more robots. ...........yeeeeesssss?

[Miles_]

Do you paint straight into colour or use overlays or any combination of the two, basically it'd be cool if you could post a tut. Great stuff man.

[Seage]

subscribed to the eyeball sexiness!

[Reject-D]

The latest paintings are nice. The medic-type character is my favorite. Nice expression on his face.
