UPDATE !

I finished a new Illustration. I am sure everyone knows Don Quixote, so no need for a big introduction.
I very much enjoyed reading about his his legendary adventures when i was young and this is the way i picture him.

Image was painted in Photoshop with Wacom Intuos 3 in about 8-9 hours.

Hope you like it
Cheers
Randis

Awesome work again! How long did it take you to finish this painting? Great great job on it!

[Darkside]

nice, expression is sooo cool. also the windmill´s shadows is a thoughtful subtle hint at what´s going on

[sebdrew]

Very nice stuff you presenting here. Cool variety of styles.
I especially like the dragon on page 8.

[cgaddict]

Randis is unstoppable Really enjoy your latest piece, especially in terms of colors and lighting. It's amazing how you can incorporate so many different styles in your portfolio, and pull all of them off in such great quality. Keep it up!

[AestheticMachine]

Holy hell It's awesome that even your 'simple' works have so much detail and love for em.

[Junpei]

Teach me, master

[Black Sun]

Love your stuff man, the one you used as your icon is my favorite by far, though. Sexy. :p

[Abrodos]

That last one is really cool. As a crit, I'd say the shadow from the mill wing in the wall, being not-distorted at all, creates a weird perspective effect with the wall itself. Also, the right rear leg of the horse pops out too much, appearing closer to the viewer than the other legs.. The cause might be the bright colour. Try to dull it with more dust effect, for example.
Finally (but that's only a personal opinion), I think the horse personality differs a lot with the slim, starving Don Quixote horse, and the chicken, if given a scared expression, would create a mini-scene in the image and therefore make it more rich.
Anyway, great work in it! Keep it up man

[Quike Garcia]

Love how the Quijote ended up

The only thing I'd point out is that these windmills are from the netherlands, and spanish ones (The ones from La Mancha) are ...quite different

Thank you! The image took me about 8-9 hours


@ Darkside
Thank you! Cheers!


@ sebdrew
Thanks for visiting!
Glad to hear that you like the dragon


@ cgaddict
Thank you! Don was very fun to paint.


@ AestheticMachine
Thank you! I am happy to hear that.


@ Junpei
Thank you! Check out my upcoming tutorials


@ TomatoFish
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the dinner time image.


@ Abrodos
Thank you for the ideas!
As for the horse, i know the horse is pictures rather thin like the Don himself but in my mind the horse is strong and well fed. I simply thing that Don is a man with a hearth to big to let his good horse starve.

@ Quike Garcia
haha thanks! Don fights the mighty windmills all over the world

UPDATE

Finished a new private painting today, let me present you the Puru-Panda man and the Fap-Flamingo girl.
Explaining all the symbolism would be boring, I would rather let you observe and for your own idea about the meaning.
Hope you like it

Cheers

All of your work is incredible. My favorite one is the guy with the butcher knife on the first page, the stories one could tell from that single scene are endless.

i'm sure you've been asked this quite alot, but forgive me, im not up for reading 291 pages

you said you used 3d models on some of them... what program or what do you use to make the models? (if it is a program )

[Randis]

Thank you! I use 3ds max for base models or perspective grids.
