I'm posting as an art lover, much more than a painter. I dabble but you have found your theme, or that's what I call it anyway. It's a thread of feeling that runs through an artist's best work.

For me, and I'm sure each person will be affected differently, I was struck by the beauty emerging from desolation. I noticed the shark-like imagery in the ships on the first one and the rocks that also looked like sharks emerging.

I noticed that luminescent green in the water on another one, contrasting the starkness of the rest of reality there.

Stirring work.

Nice enviros, really like the sense of space. Those thumbnails are my fav tho, so much to pull out of them. Mind posting a few more with your next post? Thanks for posting these up with the process work.

[MarkWinters]

Outstanding stuff. Keepin' 'em to study! Thanks for the WIPs!

[xchosun1x]

new updates- check it out =)

[Coinpurse]

hey bud, great stuff you got going on here. I have a question for you, and I hope you can answer this. I notice in your enviros, especially the cityscapes, you have several small blots that represent lights and such. Here is a perfect example: http://www.jamespaick.com/images/ent..._port_full.jpg


Do you paint every single one of those small lights by hand? or do you use a different technique. Reason I'm asking, is because I think im taking the hard way out when I paint my enviros. Adding little details like that will take me hours upon endless hours I cannot afford to waste. Anyway, really i'd love to hear back from you James.

Take care!

[cannibalcandy]

Holy FUCK, dude. Your work was bad ass before, but this is on a whole other level. I hope there's more hidden in your sleeve. I'll be waiting... somewhat impatiently.

[Riddick]

Many thanks for the update, you are a new source of inspiration for me.
Best
