*summer droppings*

**Mandryk** · July 26th, 2008, 05:49 PM

Here's a few new'ish pictures. Quite busy with work things these days, so not a whole lot of stuff to show at the moment. I also jumped on the bandwagon and started a blog where I post a lot of crappy sketches - feel free to check it out if you're so inclined. Hope you guys are all doing great...and maybe I'll have more stuff to share soon. If you have any feedback or comments, please feel free.

cheers!

this one is stunning

**walnut** · July 26th, 2008, 05:54 PM

A mandryk pos tis always a good post! Yippee! My favorite would be nr. three, the lighting on it makes it feel really special, plus it's a chick with a ridiculous big big gun, that's always cool. I'm just wondering, is the fourth one inspired by Olivier Ledroit in some way? The profile reminds me of his work. Nice play with brushes there btw.

**Kian** · July 26th, 2008, 06:12 PM

The sniper's really doing it for me. Great shot, quite powerful.

The underwater and infantry pieces I like the best...

**Nickodemus** · July 26th, 2008, 06:13 PM

going...into...state of shock...and awe

post forever, please

**Blue Severin** · July 26th, 2008, 06:17 PM

kickass. I like the blue demon guy (simultaneous Contrast Baby!) and your brush use in that piece. All good pieces though. Hope you're having a good summer.

**Mike Corriero** · July 26th, 2008, 06:35 PM

Hey Daryl,
The first three pieces are beautiful, especially loving the motion and sense of action in the poses of that man vs robot image. I love the mood of the underwater image, is that a special custom brush you used for the bubbles?

**dazz78** · July 26th, 2008, 06:47 PM

5 stars!

This work is fantastic, I like the underwater one the best, you have a great use of blur/motion, gives the work energy, hope to see more.

**Atmospheria** · July 26th, 2008, 07:00 PM

Good stuff bro. But may I ask why does your %90 of your images contains guns? I'm not saying it's bad. Just want to know...

cheers,

**DigitalProselyte** · July 26th, 2008, 07:08 PM

Stunning. I particularly like the lighting on the third one. Man, I gotta learn to paint this good.

**Duman** · July 26th, 2008, 07:55 PM

Stunning, as always, and I love how you draw so many soldiers, one of my favorite subjects.

**illustratorwayne** · July 26th, 2008, 08:31 PM

beautiful work my friend!

**Matt Smith** · July 27th, 2008, 12:05 AM

Mmmmm these are some tasty droppings. Always fun to see new work from you. My only crit would be on the green one. The foreshortening on the arm on the right isn't reading, it looks like a tiny arm, and the way the wrist is bent it looks broken.

**Rezeroth** · July 27th, 2008, 12:15 AM

Wow wow wow..Mandryk, never fails to amaze. LOL More more!!

**Titan** · July 27th, 2008, 12:15 AM

**simoncheng** · July 27th, 2008, 12:17 AM

very strong concept.
the scene is dramatic too. awesome works.

**popjordan** · July 27th, 2008, 12:41 AM

Five star!

**Victor B** · July 27th, 2008, 12:57 AM

all I can say is thanks for posting!

**MoonVisionStudio** · July 27th, 2008, 01:07 AM

Great work as always!! I love your technique, classic compositions, poses, and armor. My only comment is on the sniper, he's got a scope but he's not really using it.

**andrewkim** · July 27th, 2008, 01:25 AM

wow, these are so rich!!! awesome colors, poses... the female soldier piece is just amazing!!! I've learned so much already from that piece just by looking at it. I love the contrast in pretty much every aspect of that piece. Awesome work!!

**stoph** · July 27th, 2008, 02:26 AM

first one is Foster/Wood-esque. i like

last one made me go "oooo..!"

**xchosun1x** · July 27th, 2008, 02:30 AM

amazing work as always...keep it up D!

**swore** · July 27th, 2008, 06:27 AM

damn....u r insanely talent
i can't describe how much i love it
the third one is my favorite
more more more

**Kan Muftić** · July 27th, 2008, 06:27 AM

Hi,
If I may, I'll give some crits.
- brush strokes (impasto) on the first one are obviously added afterwards as a texture and look a bit fake
- on the second one, the closed eyes stand too close too each other. some volume of the eyeballs could be also visible
- on the third one, the ears of the girl are way too low. also, the faces of the grunts should get some light casting.

But,

Duuude!

This is all fantastic!!!!

Take care,

Khan

**D@niel** · July 27th, 2008, 06:59 AM

You inspire me, thank you!

**mGn+** · July 27th, 2008, 07:28 AM

Strong respect...
Awesomazing stuffs as usual.

**Brun** · July 27th, 2008, 07:30 AM

Mandryk great stuff as allways,

I would like to say tho that the ears of the third image are way to low (as chupacabra said allready)

the first one is a nice addition to your set of robots and guys fighting.

i love the overal look of your works, and the looseness of your lines, keep at it and keep posting

rock'on

**PaulDavidson** · July 27th, 2008, 09:39 AM
