[JPW]

The guy at the top of the page is mesmerizing. Really good. Top hats.

Amen

[JPW]

Really special and clever.

[Murido]

Duude!! u rock! Totally awesome work in here, very nice lightings, and shading. Its complete in my eyes, :D keep it up... (but i guess that wouldn't be a problem :D)

[marioucci]

Tensai - thanks buddy. you rock hard!

JPW - thank you very much man.

A small crappy update of the other WIP:

[marioucci]

and the final piece.. to hell with it.

CHAINED

[Quinn Simoes]

Love this latest painting Mario, the color and design are excellent.

Quinn

[ditchman]

I love it, but he need a more obvious chin stap, cos it looks like he could just duck out of that restraining head gear.

[Juanan G. Bocos]

It looks great, the design, the colors, but the hands seem a bit big

[Christoffer]

Good stuff! Nice soft colors in the portrait and the latest pic is cool. And those sketches of...uhm..women seem disturbingly real for some reason...I dunno...making something grotesque look human gives me the creeps. *shivers* :P

[Shard]

wicked stuff as usual!! that last one got a strong frazetta feel to it..bravo!

[GriNGo]

just awesome man!

[Bingo]

Just returning the favour, thanks for taking a look at my SB ... really glad you did, because it gave me the opportunity to look at your work. It really is great, you line work, your painting, the subject matter, I love it all ... awesome stuff.

[FreshPaint]

I really enjoy your use of lighting and texture, as well as color. Definitely will be watching your sb. =)

[forgeman]

Man... your work is really cool! I hope to get my work to pop out like yours and avoid it from looking so flat.

[Camara]

Lovely style,man.I love the volumes and colors!So organic!

[marioucci]

Quinn Simoes - Thanks man. You bloody rock!!

ditchman - hehe thanks buddy, but if he does that he will be shot straight away lol

Juanan G. Bocos - thank you man. yeah big hands and feet are a feature but its becoming to look too much like a bug:)

Christoffer - cheers man. That was the intention. Im glad you noticed

shardana - wow. any mention of frazetta's name is reason for celebration !! thanks buds

GriNGo - thanks a lot!!!

Bingo - thank you for the words man. Im a big fan of your work.

Wow. I am absolutely amazed by your work. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll be tuning in for more.

[GriNGo]

nice character.. almost feels like a 60 year old logan, bored about life.

[kischi]

Haha yes he is, and yours turned out that way! Really nice.
More plz.

[enthombed]

Hey Mario, legal o logal e as atualizações que você realizou durante esse tempo que fiquei sem computador.

Parabéns mano.

Abraço

[The7Artist7]

Sweet awesome pic! the only crit I can think of is that his skin looks a little 'rubbery' especially around his wrist like as if he's wearing one of those doctor's gloves.

I'm running a dynamic energy wolverine challenge right now but it would be cool to do some more specifically Logan stuff too - thanks for inspiring me! 'ka-ching' inspiration level up! :steph: :painting:

Keep rocking on!

[marioucci]

langrh - Thats great to hear. thank you

GriNGo - hahah cool man.

kischi - heheh you know Logan for sure:) cheers man

enthombed - Valeu meu!!! abracao!

The7Artist7 - Thank you for the critics man.


Today, a quick one. Took me 2 hours more or less from start to finish and hugely inspired by Phil Hale.

Hope u like it.

OCTO

[enthombed]

Ahahah, este último so a parte de cima me pareceu lembrar o Khutulu, mas depois que vi a cueca, ficou hilário, ahahaa Khutulu Teenage.

Abraço Mario

[monotony]

haha, that one is awesome. gotta love squidhats.
but really the rendering and lightning is great, especially for a quick one like this.

[marioucci]

A quick one.

30 minutes looking at a flickr photo - photoshop

[Doolittle]

I haven't been to your sketchbook since Space Ghost—awesome—and now seeing all the work you've done since then, I have to remember to check back in more often! I don't know if it's much of a "cool" description, but your work is a true delight! I am going to bed tonight a happy man. Thanks!

[marioucci]

Doolitle - what you said made me blush. thank you so much.


Today I have a silly pastel study and a acrylic on canvas paper study of my wife. Please forgive the poor mobile photo that fucked up all the colors and gave me no definition.

Cheers

Mario

[marioucci]

Bit of these, bit of those.

[Shard]

awesome!! more please!!!

[Jorge Gecov]

Hey Mario!
Nice updates dude, really cool paintings.

Cheers,

[tokotewhero]

ah its always refreshing to see some real paintings! and not uber hot people! that wasted guy is awesome haha.

hmm im thinking tho that the lips in the last one need just a little reworking they dont really sit with the rest of the painting for me. nice tho man! ;)

[schaal]

pretty good brush strokes and the overall mood for the paintings are really interesting

[marioucci]

Hey guys,

After a long hiatus, I hope someone will see this update and give me some comments.

Ive started using W&N's Artisan water mixable oils and this is a quick study on skin - Looking at a photograph on a random book.

Thanks lads

mario

[Shard]

sweet stuff dude..do you actually mix the oils with water? in my experiments I found the combination feels a bit weird..
got to pick up traditional painting again!!

[kischi]

Great stuff, like the colors and brushstroke of your traditional work. Keep em coming

[marioucci]

more oils non stop freaking going forward upupup

[GriNGo]

The lady before this one is kick ass! I also recoginize the first dude.. isn't he a murderer of some sort? Great work!

[soros]

Great Characters ! Thanks for sharing your ideas ! I would love to see more of the figure studies with pencil!

[marioucci]

Digital Echo!

[wilkerson]

Hey I love how your style is gritty and dark, I've had enough of the milk and cookies art all over the place.

[marioucci]

Hey Wilkerson, Im glad you prefer the raw meat as I do.

another portrait. My wife - "She Loves Me, Yeah!"

[GriNGo]

looking good, or looking bad depending on your point of view :P

[marioucci]

Yeah well,

A Cintiq painting on PSCS4.

ride the snake, nice girl!

[Kfeeras]

add a few really sharp details and edges around the eyes, nose and mouth on that last one. Make sure that the pupils are sharp, it will add a lot more depth

great portraits!

cheers
-a

[marioucci]

Hey Kfeeras,

Thanks for the directions. It will make it a lot stiffer too. Its another approach thou, not exactly what I wanted here. But thanks!

[GriNGo]

[marioucci]

Thank you guys.

You make an old man as happy as a 16 year old girl would.

I have a few more, digitals, concepts and some oils.

[RandAlThor]

Disturbingly Good...

[marioucci]

A while ago, I did these digital and oil studies of artist Joao Ruas - http://www.http://feral-kid.com/ - And I thought Id share the process with you.

Hope you like it.

[Jai Kamat]

You kick SO much ass

[pluto]

such an amazing process from the start and now, last oil is superb and those steps is fun to see how the idea traveld forward just a peronal view but i'd loved a more natural face without the deep fingerprints or what it is, but that's just a personal perfrence :) gonne keep my eyes out for future updates

[marioucci]

Ixius, You kick All the asses Ive kicked right back at me.

pluto, hey thanks for the interesting comment man. Appreciate it.

Meanwhile,

Working on concepts using porno frames. I'm calling it the Ordinary Series for now. This is Concept 002.

[kevinwueste]

So many great ideas executed well! Jenny Saville fan ? slightly ? good stuff!

Kevin

[schaal]

The new series is very sexy and weird in a good way

[rattsang]

wow some really nice stuff here man especially like the narrative quality of your work.
just nit picking here but i found the texture in some of your oils very distracting but that could just be because of the light it was photographed in.
ill be back for more :)

[marioucci]

I asked for it.

more random exercises.

[GEB]

Awesome SB man!

[Velocity Kendall]

wow, its right in all the right ways. excellent.

[Jasper_]

Ridiculous paintings man, love it, especially your 'ordinary series.' Definitely looking forward to seeing some more!!

[towy]

really cool!

[marioucci]

3 times thank you.

I had a group exhibition opening here in London a couple of days ago.

Here is a couple of pictures.

One is the main wall with some of my work and the other is Phil Hale telling me about fast motorcycles.

[marioucci]

So, a porno concept from the ordinary series and a tumor triptych oil on canvas.

[Jamie Romoser]

Wow really inspiring work love your use of focal points and your colors
keep it up I'll be staying tuned for more of your brew :)

[Teundeboer]

These oil portraits are amazing, very strong.

Especially like this one for some reason http://attachments.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1141732&stc=1&d=1294748002

[schaal]

Really enjoying the new artwork and oil studies. All of then are sexy, weird and cool. Your drawing and color skills are getting better and better, So, keep posting, painting and rocking!

[AliceA]

this SB is amazing!!

[marioucci]

love you

more on the ordinary series and an oil from before with some stages.

[SirGreenSock]

I've been watching where you've been going for a while, but never really knew what to say other than asspats.
These new series are really great, i like the way you've been going about them, and there is something really cool and original in the forms and colours. Some of the earlier stuff had a strong Seville influence to them, but you've broken from that and found something more your own now I think.
Are you familiar with Alex Kanevsky (http://www.somepaintings.net/Alex.html) or Alberto Mielgo (http://albertomielgo.blogspot.com/?zx=5f1219230f27459b)?

[Yor]

loving ur oils man, so wicked .

[marioucci]

Hey SirGreen, Thank you Sir. You have said so many things that are incredibly current in my life. spot on. Alberto and I worked together on the beatles rockband trailer. He did the fucking sublime backgrounds and I did some of the 3D. Kanevsky is one of the mother*&^ers I love to hate. One of my favorite painters today. And then there is mother Saville whose influence is very hard to get rid of. Thank you so much for the comments. I knew I did right when I went to your SB to poke ya a bit.

Yor, Cheers man:)


A couple of digital concepts. I am calling this the Comics Series, Where I put some comic book characters in a different light. Weird proportions, fetichism and stuff like that.

[jramauri]

Oh yeah, this is what I call skills. Love the superheores pieces. The way you work light and colors is awesome.

[jramauri]

Double post, sorry.

[dleoblack]

Crazy paintings! WOW!!!

[marioucci]

Amauri - :):):)

leoblack - Thank you!!!
