[spyroteknik]

big hello to everyone, been lurking for a while, figured it was about time i registered to this fine forum,
large introduction dump of some of the past year's stuff :), i've kept the images 640width so it shouldn't be too bad for 56k'ers (9 images)

Wow very cool style! So real!
But maybe you should try to get some more action into it.
Some movement, explosions, smoke or pyrotechnics.

:D

[nikia]

Very nice. I really like the second one. Good work.

[Aven]

They are all very nice, but my fav is the first one. Nice lighting and colour. Good job.

[mos667]

Very nice job on all of them. The last one scared the krap out of me.

[spyroteknik]

thanks guys :D hopefully i'll be posting quite regularly, if my 2yrold son lets me paint :) hope to learn a lot from you guys

[dem0n]

holy shit
that last one really gives me the creeps
allways looking behind me in the dark now :D

[alti]

that's some cool work-
The tatoo on the crouched woman's chest is very nice.- also her interlocking hands are well done.
oh and my fave by far is the 4'th one down, love the clouds and colour hews.
keep them coming :)

[Wizard]

Weird and scary......and very beautiful works. Good Job.:btu:

[Golanhall]

That last one scares the living sh*t out of me :eek:

[c0g]

Wow, the 3rd and the 4th are so beautiful. Nice compositions, great colors, and the moods are perfect. The others are nice as well and the last one really is creepy. Most people try and fail when going for creepy, but you succeeded my friend. In the 5th piece something magic seems to be happening. I'm not sure if these are space or sea creatures, but I want to know more. I think that is what I really like about your work. It seems each image has great stories they are wanting to tell. Your work reminds me of Nivbed's :chug: which is a very good thing.

[JFS]

the last one was drop dead gorgeous :-)

[CH-PERALTA]

Oh yeah this rocks dude nice to see another familiar face :)

[Miau]

im stunned man..!!! these are great

[Happy Camper]

I was wondering why your name and images seemed so familiar :rolleyes: then I realised I've been using your photoshop tutorials ever since I learned to use Photoshop :D. I love the second image, it was the most familiar of all your images. Did you post it on another forum or GFX or something like that? I also like the guy in the bath tub, reminds me of E.T. :p.

[spyroteknik]

wow thx eveyrone, nice welcome, happycamper, i them out all over :) so yep, you probably saw it at gfx or sijun, alti, can't take credit for the tattoo, was a font :), got lazy, mostly work without ref but used one for the hands on that one too, cog, mermaids, did a bit of research on that one, my take on what they really looked like, usually leave the interpretation out but all of them have a story, i could talk about them for ages but it's better to leave it to the viewer to make their own mind up, glad the halloween one went down well, has lots of errors but i liked the mood, thanks again everyone, more will be on the way :D
