I friggin love that fox piece! The characters, design, rendering, lighting, texture and composition all rock. It's such a dynamic piece (I really hate using that word but in this case it's true) and the idea behind it is really cool. Poregress may be slow on it but you are going in the right direction.

I also like your studies, there's plenty of variety there.

Love the studies here, kidult. The piece in #784I like very much and the matrix superhero vixen is really awesome. Even more so with all hand painted textures. Thats dedication. I am curious to the final result.The cybepunk cards look very Shadowrun / Deckeresque.

Awesome work. I didn't know we at all had artists of your skills in South Africa - our art scene seems to be heavily influenced by the post-modernist "anything goes" philosophy.

Are you self-trained? I have long wished to undergo proper classical training, but it seems not to be available anywhere in South Africa, and without it (and lacking any hint of actual talent) I have not been able to make much progress, not even in twenty years of fairly dedicated practice.
