I'm really liking the way this forum is turning out btw.

**Interceptor** · October 9th, 2006, 12:24 AM

Poor Wolverine !

very nice work.

**j a k e** · October 9th, 2006, 12:39 AM

Why have I not seen your work before. Those superheros are lovely! Super stuff dude.

**maxetormer** · October 9th, 2006, 01:27 AM

dope stuff mate.

**I.was.ink** · October 9th, 2006, 02:34 AM

I'm really digging the exaggerations and the colors.
The one thing that bothers me in the first piece is his right leg (below his knee) seems too skinny.

Keep it up and post some more!

the spider mans really reminds me of cheeks stuff. I love the colours in the first painting. Really lose feel, and looks like an economical use of strokes. excellent work. can't wait to see more!

**robinchyo** · October 9th, 2006, 03:37 AM

I sure do love the last one! But one thing is I wish the Hulk was larger and less naked :p..But it happens!

**derf** · October 9th, 2006, 04:33 AM

amazing work for the Marvel one....good style and mood....give us some more!

**AgAtA** · October 9th, 2006, 05:12 AM

An excellent work in a very mastered style.
Personally, I have a fondness for the third one which is a delightful personal interpretation of super heros.

**Nicko** · October 9th, 2006, 03:28 PM

Haha. If I were a superhero i'd beat the crap out of Wolverine myself for being so over-saturated. Great Job on all works!

**TheGnoll** · October 9th, 2006, 03:30 PM

man, batman is really old in that one hehehe

very nice work

ciao

**endregan** · October 9th, 2006, 03:55 PM

Nice work alex, but like I told you, the lensflares would help out the composition so much better

. I especially enjoy the superheros.

**alxcote** · October 9th, 2006, 10:29 PM

Interceptor/jake & maxe - thanks fellas, it just happened to be wolv in the middle.. no reason.

I was ink - true enough you're right, thanks!

MikeC - thanks, and yeah i did go for the pastel-ish look. I find it more fun to work with color wise.. it makes you think about your next brush move haha. And yes, Marko had a huge influence on me for the heros, it was the first time i had tried to do anything marvel related.

oalexis - thanks, i've seen some of cheeks stuff before, alot of people at school have his stuff laying around. I think his poses are great indeed.

derf - thanks, i don't know when i'll be putting any more work up.. schools taking some time and we're working on films and such. Also been busy with 3D. will have to see!

AgAtA - hey! thanks for the compliments, i'm glad you liked it. I love your work! i've seen some of it recently.

Nicko/TheGnoll - thanks guys, and indeed i added some years to batman haha.

endregan - thanks you sicko, i was wondering if you could give me some tutorials on how to make lensflares at school.... or at your place... haha (are you coming to the meeting next weekend?)

**Justin.** · October 9th, 2006, 10:35 PM

Someone is gonna get buttraped by the Hulk =]

Cool stuff man, though I think your ocean stuff could use a bit more saturation- other than that, pretty wicked stuff.

**Ulie-J** · October 9th, 2006, 10:39 PM

I like your environments, and your ocean stuff.

I like your style too,keep up the good work.

**mwillustration** · October 9th, 2006, 11:04 PM

yeah, lovin the superhero one.
great colors in there.
the others are nice too, but that one really stands out.

**openanewworld** · October 10th, 2006, 01:49 AM

such nice color man, characters are exagguated in just right amount, color is awsome

**cotron** · October 10th, 2006, 08:07 AM

great stuff! love the colors and value relationships, mm mm tasty

**strych9ine** · October 10th, 2006, 11:03 AM

These are great man, the super hero piece is great. I think you curving batman's cape all the way to a straight line down the left bottom corner frames it weird, I'd just throw it right off the border. Nice work!

**character** · October 10th, 2006, 04:55 PM

nice style. post some more plzkthx

**kaktuzlime** · October 10th, 2006, 08:46 PM

excellent!

**Pixel8** · October 11th, 2006, 08:27 AM

I like those pastel seascapes, myself. They feel like the seaside to me. Nuff said on the superhero stuff - on point!

Have you guys checked out Alex's website? Tight stuff there, too.

Though I would encourage you, Alex, to keep at the 2-D BIG TIME. It looks like the 2-D is your most raw, more impassioned form of expression. The lines and the energy they represent look like they come from the heart.

Thanks for sharing!

**alxcote** · October 12th, 2006, 02:18 AM

..damn so many replies hah, thanks for the comments.

Justin - yeah my friends said the same haha, and for the set design i tried to make it all blend together so i had to lower the saturation on the last one. perhaps it was a bad move.. thanks for the notice!

Ulie/mwillustration/openanewworld/cotron - you guys are too nice!! (thanks tho)

strych9ine - I completely agree with you 100%, indeed one of my bad habbits is to paint over my quick sketches and forget to "re-compose" my elements afterwards...and im also terrible at fixing stuff. i always kinda throw it in the basket and move on. Good eye! thanks!

character/kaktuzlime - thanks fellas

Pixel8 - thanks bud, apreciate. As for the 3D part i really have to update my site, those were my first models back when i started learning maya and i got around getting alot better at it. I've been working on alot of different projects animation/short film wise and planning stuff out. So whenever i got time ill make my 3D section worth the bandwidth haha.

**Phattro** · October 12th, 2006, 02:30 AM

awesome...i enjoy your sense of palette. and the last image got cool dynamic to it....and your HULK got no pants LOL..

**yonson** · October 12th, 2006, 05:28 AM

Wicked. I love the "Bag head" look to spidey.

**Haxxxor** · October 12th, 2006, 05:24 PM

lol all that comic dudes are against wolverine... poor guy but it seems he is has a kind of madness....

very nice work so far!

**jdeegz** · October 12th, 2006, 06:26 PM

awesome dude, the first one reminded me of American History X, but hes got hair so that brought me back to reality, and the 2nd one, what did wolverine ever do to you!? i love the anatomy on the heros, lets see some more

**Art_Addict** · October 13th, 2006, 04:14 PM

Yes, very nice color work. post more man.

**BANCK** · October 19th, 2006, 04:47 PM

love your style

**Rich Pellegrino** · October 19th, 2006, 05:25 PM

Hey these are really good! I'm feeling the BG in the first one. Maybe this was mentioned already, but the Hulk's anatomy is a little quesionable. Great work. Post more!
