The one with the diving helmet is fantastic, but the vampire one is just heartbreaking. Its rare in vampire pictures that you feel for the victim. So often it is the vampire that is the focus, and the victim is just there as something for them to threaten. Here, you can tell by her expression that the girl has been fighting against what's happening to her, and now knows it's too late. There's no going back.

Beautifully done. Visual storytelling at its finest.

[qlotzan]

really i like it this realy fantasy beaotiful art

[SEVANS]

All solid work.
However 'War1' really stand out for me. The amount of movement and energy in that piece is fantastic.

Great post (even the ones I've seen before).

[Clay Davis]

Absolutely incredible! The diver and war1 images really stand out to me.

So so good Randis.. When I looked closely at the blade of the staff as it goes into skin on the 4th piece...I let out a big "whoa."

[gaurishankar]

you are great,you have a lot of patience to do such clear and smooth work.....

[davi]

completely awesome

[AlstonInk]

Ah man, just brilliant!

[NightHerald]

Well, I don't have a lot so say, but:

Wow.

Absolutely awe-inspiring. Some are very imaginative and interesting. A great deal of them gives the impression that there's a larger (and facinating) story behind them, that the viewer doesn't get to glimpse. If you know what I mean. This makes the works far more interesting, to me at least.

Again, great work and I'll be on the lookout for more.

Dude that painting with the spear stabbing, and gliding underneath her skin. I looked at it and made that painful inhaled hiss noise. Wicked man.

IS THERE NO END TO YOUR AWEOMENESSS????

i love what you did with the first newborn vampire entry, she looked great nude but i'm ashamed to say she's looking even better dressed.

[Quike Garcia]

Astonishing works I have to say that I really like the piece with the cleaver and the nija master one.. is amazing how you fill in all the details to make a real scene from a painting.. wonderful

[archipelago]

[Dallas]

[Riddick]

Hey Randis,

There is a lot of good things in very different styles!
I am very surprise to discover so many "asian" paints.
You really did a great job on a lot of your pieces!

[blueknightfox]

I needed this. I was feeling down about my own skill and this picked me back up thanks for the post.

[Leunam]

Randis, thanks for posting these amazing works. Truly inspirational... it's hard to believe you liked my stuff, nevertheless, thanks.

[ArneSReismueller]

hey randis,
cool to see some new work from you. the realistic paintings are sometimes a little too clean (glatt) for my taste but that's just personal.
i really like this painting/style

Hi im new to the game, and am just starting out with some basic sketches. But your work is amazing .

How long does it take for you to do a piece, on average?

[Randis]

@ miycko
