[Diego]

Hey man, great colors and brushstrokes. Looking foward to see more.

[young paddy1]

like the angle a lot kinda gives the feel that, you're dying looking up at the guy who shot you. He's a little bent at the shoulders but the cool lighting makes up for that.

cheerio

p.s. is this pestilence? the other three in a similar vain would look damn fine.

[conti]

That's a beautifully rendered image. Nice color choices and great angle.

[Marco Mazzoni]

[Marco Mazzoni]

Thanks guys, the encouragement is addictive, guess I should keep improving and showing progress to get more huh? :bounce:

Here is some progress on the pure satyre archer, Goat See.
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=763036&stc=1&d=1251350039

and the start to my pure centaur, Gran Centaurino. I'm experimenting with spending a little more time developing the drawing rather than just jumping right into painting the values. I'm kinda digging the results so far...

Really nice work on show here. The character design and the work on the armour is especially nice. Good skills.

~Slayer

[Nephilie]

I love it how you use colours and brushes. And great characterdesigns!

[ruuhkis]

hot damn! love the armor of the latest design. I'll keep my eye on this thread!

[dariocoelho]

Hey Marco,

happy to see some new work - you're still kicking ass. Especially mine...
I like the slightly darker twist in the recent paintings and the way you desaturated your color palette. Still colorful, but with a healthier amount I would say.

Hope to see more soon!

[Kuidf^!]

wow nice pieces the first picture stood out as wow for me so keep it up :)

[GunTrouver]

Man this old cowboy is just great! I love the brushstrokes, the lightning and the mood. The rest is very cool too:) More plz

[DkS]

Meravigliosi!!

[Haal100]

Excellent work.
The colors of the goat picture are wonderful ! o_o

[Verehin]

You start SB!

[Icedearth15876]

Great stuff so far, the creature stuff looks amazing. keep up the good work.

[P]

I gasped

[maria riaz]

oooo coool stuff the first peice is just wow...the strokes are awesome. the creature stuff is nicely designed....u made another fan

cheers!

[TASmith]

Yow! Thank you very much for sharing! It's rare to see so many finely rendered paintings all at once. This could easily be in the finally finished section. I'd love to see some pencils or charcoal work. Or pretty much everything you have saved on your computer, or readily scannable.

[Mayday]

great stuff dude. i love the first piece. the armored goats remind me of the Redwall novels! love it!

[damienflux]

Nods in agreement , what a display! love the fiddy centuar creature , while trying to figure out the word fiddy.

[Fahran]

GREAT STUFF SO FAR! I am really liking your character designs, especially the goat warrior? not sure what to call it xD. Really good stuff, would be nice to see some pencils from you. Keep it up!

[Marco Mazzoni]

Hey thanks guys!

So we finally finished our entries for Team CHOW.
Here's mine

Estaog
Satyre
Archer

I see the wind. My arrows ride the
currents to their resting place in the heart
of darkness a half days travel away. I do it for my
people, to preserve their way of life.

Estaog
Satyr
Marksman

I have been robbed of my vision. My precious
wind now whispers in my ears, begging me to give it
the gift of death and I gladly comply. My only joy
is the sound of your lungs crushed by my arrows.

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=767453&stc=1&d=1251785405


Grann
Centaur
Paladin

My son should not need to know the wretched
hordes I have slain. Had I have been stronger,
faster, niether would my beloved. Every thrust
of my pike, every stroke of my steel, a tribute to her.
I know that some how she is able to see the
good I have done in her name.

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=767428&stc=1&d=1251784810


Grann
Centaur
Marauder

The took them from me. My sorrow filled my
bones till that's all could feel. I was weak.
Now the warm blood splashing against my chest
keeps my alive. My memories fade into oblivion
with every Moist shatterd helmet and tug of my flail.

[Emrey]

OOOooo looking good! Definitely 5 stars :hatsoff:

[polydrawer]

pure gold you guys did on the team CHOW
awesome work

keep it up

[Spaggen]

Oh, fantastic sketchbook. Great stuff!

[Marco Mazzoni]

Thank you all for the kind words, it means a lot.

Sorry guys, I don't do much in the way of pencils these days, but to make up for it here are some unfinished cyborg things that I kinda like.

The first one was started in alchemy then used as render practice in ps.
The second one is sort of a cybernetic female body builder, or something...
I have no idea what the third one is, but I wanted it to look almost delicate and beat the hell up.
I just started the last one tonight, kinda reminds me of what a heavy assault suit for the District 9 aliens might look like, but really it's just an excuse to draw cyborgs with tentacles.

[sansan]

COOL！！！！！！！ OMG！！！！！！learn from you!

[Spaggen]

Wow, those cyborgs are awesome! Love the design. I wanna see more so update, NOW! :)

Please check out my (uninteresting) sketchbook and leave a comment if you've time. Would be really great.

[Sublimus]

Awesome!!

[surus]

Thanks for the inspiration and especially the centaur characters!

[Ivan Turcin]

oooooooo yeeeeeeeeeaaaaah!!!

[Wr00m]

5 Stars! Awesome stuff there!

[JesArt]

Hiya Marco, your work is mindblowing to me, I bow down to you, your color, concept, composition, and character are amazinggggggggggggggg. Ive already learned so much. Now Iam a super amateur at this photo shop tool, and Iam still trying to get into it. But with the Satyr piece (maybe its my screen) at the top and bottom of the piece, I see a subtle line where you added on canvas, its really the only thing that I notice that makes it look unfinished. Believe me Iam a beginner but one thing my professors at my community college got on me about was the "cookie cutter" line, they hated it. But if you have time could you drop by on my sketchbook and have a gander, thank you so much. Again thanks for the inspiration.

[Alternative]

Incredible work. Please post more. I sub'd ^^

[NickyBeats]

amazing stuff dude!!!

[Ninjac]

Inspiring work for sure. Strong design and your work has integrity. Can't wait to see more!

[Krato]

awful!


really nice stuff but you need to update more often
