post 713 is very cool
the pen renders look great
I just love it when I see lots of variations on the same subject
you also have some really nice photos in there

[Lightship69]

MORE delightful madness!! my mate you are a brilliant ongoing inspiration!

I liked the pens idea you kicked around back there, which 3d package are you beating up at the moment mate? it seems to work well for you......... or have I just dropped a major bollock and its all hand drawn!!

ha ha all the best mate.

[ThomasM]

whaaat! Great work on that security gate - very impressed

[AckermannPhilip]

I like your crazy enviromentals really. And I love your posts in general. YOu are one of these guys making this place better.

But your figures and faces don't convince me. Look at Frazetta, Capullo, Huante to solve that and understand how they do that.

for example page 20 and 21, the alien:

Imagine that you are that freakin alien riding that thing, ready to slam and rip someone's fucking head off. Strike out while your eyes are wide open because you are sceaming, feeling the energy energy that you are about to release with all brutal force that nature has given you. Feel your pec tearing apart while striking out. Feel the cramp in your shoulders because you are pulling your arm back like a bowstring. You know what I mean?

Also, the zombie or creature is shown in profile. Do you want to show a dizzy zombie, who doesn't realise the danger of the current situation? If not, give yourself a hit. Turn him towards the guy who will kill him. Showing the face is not so important as showing the body language in this case.

You can do that better. Just think like you are fighting. Go crazy in your workroom for a moment.

Lightship69 thankyou my friend! the pens are 3d base with photoshjop on the top for the quick alterations

Thomas Thankyou sir!

AckermannPhilip I wanted to say how great i thought your post was, thanks for the advice, it really made me think!

Eightball_, X, htkpeh thankyou chaps!!

Takashmen, i know its so hard to finish something sometimes isnt it!! just aim to finish the important areas before bordome sets in and you want to move on

sony you are much too kind!!

Honda
messing around after a long dull week of 1million wheels
id like to put somehting like this in a tribute to Syd mead's silver coach image...
why is red so prone to compression artefacts? are they there in all colours but less contrasty, or does red hate JPGing for a special reason? anyone know?

[Travis Smith]

Really like this design. Does it split apart when passengers want to enter or do one or both panels slide upwards?

[Farvus]

Hey. I haven't been here for a while. Your 3d renders are great as usual and painted stuff is getting better. I sense strong Syd Mead influences here .

[gurzy]

Man I gotta say when I first went to your sketchbook I thought it was weird as fuck; really abstract to me and distasteful but now that I see it again...hell I don't know what I was thinking really great stuff man. All your 3d/render/manipulations/2d studies/mixed media are top notch. Keep on inspiring

[Cyberman]

coolness, been awhile since I checked this out. I like this one lots.

[takashmen]

totally agree vel,

will try

are last two pics part of animation look awesome, interesting vision of honda

[asa]

the Honda car is mind blowing
Syd Mead is a great inspiration, but I would definitely like to see your car in the streets like 20 years from now
that would turn the heads
great concept!

[shyamshriram]

INSANE STUFF !
thanks for posting kind words in my sketcbook

[Ricardo Robles]

what an elegant design in that honda car...
those are the things that make me stop suddenly and seriously think about taking more time in work out an interesting and effective design. You´re a heavy inspiration for me, sir.

[Umbravita]

Ohh, this is gorgeous stuff. I like how the lighting is in the stuff on this page, it's so bright and natural, reminds me of a summer day.

[kidult]

i want a honda like that!

[Black Spot]

Okay I'm going to say it. I don't understand why you put random 3d objects in your pictures. They jar. I'm not saying they're not well made, but they are total incongruous. The last post is the first one that shows them in their natural setting that I've seen.

[kevinwueste]

methinks there is some mad scientism going on here ! amazing! (jarred in a good way!)

[Max Challie]

I love those last two man!! Futuristic and colourful

"I don't hate people, but i feel better when they're not around" - lol

[sony]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooo oooooooow

[Velocity Kendall]

Hehe thanks!

Max, thats my favourite movie ever!
Blackspot, I didnt 100% understand, but I like things that jar and tickle my eyes
Kevin thankyou sir, your paints are a bit inspiration!
kidult well the hard part, deciding the carpet colour is done, now we just need to invent antigravity.. piece of cake!
Umbra, thats the 3dsMax's lovely daylight system, check it out, its free if youre a student!
Ricardo right back at you sir!
Shyam, thank you very much, I really enjoy you work it is so painterly and nice
asa we gotta do an email collab or something!
takashmen, hehe you better!!
sean: thankyou very much dude, i shouldnt mind doing some more pencil sketches soon, its been a year at least...
Gurzy, haha i love that feeling where you hate something but then kind of like it, its my favourite!
Farvus thankyou! Syd is one of my heroes, so im real glad youre getting that vibe
Tb0ne thats a good question... i thought maybe the window itself might pull back in some way impossible using current materials, but splitting would look really cool, let me think about it!

my sister made a blog for her sweet drawings, if you like this stuff as much as I do please check it out!
shes a graphic designer and can knock you up a sick poster or personalised wedding invite or whatever quicker than I can type the word pinapple!.. no wait pineaple.......

all the best mate and thanks for posting the last lot my faves I think were the ones at the bottom of post 731 they put me in mind of the original "Tron" which I love. But I suspect I am the only person on the planet wgho does, I saw it at the movies when it came out you see (very old man!) and was blown away by it.
