golly
chaos

[derk]

Great work! but I've allready told you that

Those D&D pieces were a nice suprise.

Keep on rocking!

[Stark]

I echo chaos...this stuff is massive and epic. The expressions are sick and the illos are very well colored and defined... I like the guy reading, well, just because he's reading! I know, crazy huh?

[Jason Snair]

THESE ARE AWESOME!!!.

love the one with the knight on the horse slashing thru other knights. How the hell did you create that water splash? Too cool.

Yes. Post more.

Welcome back too.

[ICH]

This is great stuff, Toasty.
I know some characters of your works, cool!
The water on second work are awesome.

[Ian Mack]

Excellent works!

I especially like the city and how you lit it. The birds aren't bad although it seems liknd of contrived that they are flying almost in a line into the distance. But hey, that's a small detail. it was cool to look down at the city and see the little people!

I also really like the one where the guy is being hit with lightning. There is real emotion in thepiece. Keep it up!

[Dreamworker]

five stars are too much little !
ciao

[Andronicus2814]

im really enjoying these. the way the night elf is holding that staff is bothering me, other then that i love them all

[Erilaz]

Stunning stuff, although I thought the dwarf-girl was a chibi-giant for a while there!

[Evil_Sloth]

Awesome illustrations bro, love the Shaman one the best. Cheers.

[Razorb]

extremely nice colour and detail :o great work !

[midknight523]

those water effects are awesomr

[redcap]

You just had to put the dwarves in kilts and playing bagpipes!

As a Scot I don't know whether to be insulted or not LOL

Great looking work!
good water, that is a weakness of mine but yours looks very realistic

Even the dwarves look nice

[SummoniX]

Cool stuff!
I like the feeling in the last two pictures - very fairy.
post more

[Mandryk]

These are really nice illustrations! It's been mentioned, but your water effects are especially tasty. The only one that sticks out to me is the female gnome, there are some scale/perspective issues that make her feel like a giant.

[Djib]

Yihaaa !! Toasty's on the run !
You know what I think of your work, Dude : just awesome !
Me want more !

[Coinpurse]

Hey man these look great. Love the one with the barbarian fighting the romans.

Lemme ask you something, I recently posted this in the photoshop section of the forums, but what do you do to keep your images looking that sharp? Ive been having this problem when i save my images (highest quality possible btw) and reopen them, parts of the painting looks very pixely... Have you ever encountered this problem?

[Chermilla]

Some lovely pieces! So much to take in on each one, really sweet attention to detail, I love the water splash effect you've used on a couple of them too, it looks really nice. Great post!!

[Wasker]

This is some great stuff. I especially like the WoW-cards and that arabic city, must've taken forever to do

You should be more active on Conceptart.org

[RedShadow]

man that is awsume.. great pix.

[dkounios]

great pics man. nice detail in all of them.
great work!

[Troll Skelking]

Ach, the last two ones remind me of the good old times, playing HoMM3 and Tzar, with monsters and humans fighting together and against each other - Pure Nostalgy...

BTW, love your colours and the amount of details, keep it up!

[toasty]

Wow lots of replies ,
thanks everybody !

heya derk, thanks mate, you should post too !

Stark, thanks, I like him too, mostly because I'm tired of doing battles

Jason, the watersplash, is mostly done with a texture repeated and tweaked

Ich, thanks, glad you're actually playing with those guys and like them
Ian, yeah the birds were something not planned at first, just an after pic to give a sense of scale or something

Andronicus, yeah it bothers me as well, at first it was an enormous mace and they changed it in a staff but oh well

redcap, haha come on man, dwarves are cool,I would consider it as an honour

Mandryk, yeah maybe another background element is missing to give a better sense of scale
Djib, thanks mate !

boom! not sure I understood your question, I don't really have problems of that sort, to get images quite sharp I try to keep in seperate layers the background and the character so I can cut with the eraser on the silhouettes, to keep edges clean

Wasker thanks, I'll try to post more often

chaos,dreamworker,Razorb,summonix,chermilla,redsha dow,dkounios,troll skelking, and others thank you all for your comments , I greatly appreciate it !

[toasty]

Here is some new stuff :

3 novels covers I made for a french publisher

[BlackBeret]

In your update I like the last on the best.

[character]

ooooh i love these. i really dig some of the palettes you've got going on, like in that first pic with the night elf in the woods. shweeeeet

[asoir]

while i've never liked the warcraft realm, some of these are sublime, great job(s)!
