Welcome to CA!

You´ve been painting just a year and you can paint this? Man, great work, this should be interesting sketchbook.

Your sense for painting landscape and all the action in it is just great. Something I´ll be finding out for myself for a looong time.
The last one blows my mind, keep it up man!

Nice pictures, keep it up!

But I've noticed something with the image "LeVikings" - the hand of the viking holding the axe is a bit off. It's like he's holding the axe between his fingers, and not in his fist.

Other than that, great work - the last one is particularly nice.

nice paintings, i dont like the strokes on the submarine on the first picture, it makes it look to fabric like and not metallic.

Thanks! I should have mentioned though, that a few of these images (like the sub) can't quite qualify as speed paintings. I like doing quick 1-3 hr works, and most of them here are, but the submarine, the post-apoc, and the first mech painting are hardly speedies, each taking at least seven hours. I hope I didn't bother anyone with the massive size of the images too.
