many thanks)))), will try to continue

[Fiddzy]

These are all really great. What I really like is that despite their rather simplistic silhouetted style, you can still get a great sense of detail and characterisation.

Fantastic

(hope that did not come of as insulting)

Of course not!:) I very much agree with you, and really I do know how to do such so simplified silhouettes and try to give them interesting details and stuff:) thanks for your comment, it is important to me

[nurraymjo]

Yup, this is some really cool work. I'm loving it. Keep posting.

[milu]

another few works, i hope you enjoy:)

[etchesofthesun]

Really cool drawings here! Im loving the poses and emotions the characters are portraying. I like the ironic sense of humour too, for example the "hearty marauder" sketch..lol

[Thisisbiblo]

просто ух! здорово)

[milu]

........ I like the ironic sense of humour too, for example the "hearty marauder" sketch..lol
i wanted to soften the evil characters, so it's easier to see them :-)
many thanks

[TheHut]

Jawesome (for anyone who ever watched Street Sharks). You convey so much with so little. It's a gift just like explaining something very complex with few words, and the other person understands it. I can't wait to see more. Very inspiring.

[MatejaPetkovic]

Hey i love your sketchbook, cool characters. I also visited your blog, i realy enjoyed, gave you 5*. I wanted to tell you that your works(envirovments) remind me on my good friend Jama, but he has been here ;)

hi Mateja, thanks for comments. yes, i know Jama too, he is cool dude and we also communicate with him (and i, in secret, spying for his work, ggggg :-) )

i am very glad that you liked the picture and you understand them correctly, and I'm really trying to "simple" forms show the "complex" (mainly because I can not draw "difficult":-D)
thanks:)



Thisisbiblo, nurraymjo, OmertA, CCH, Psychotime - many thanks for u! you inspire me for new works:)

[milu]

some new pics for u=)

[maximunki]

You manage to make everything you paint look so fresh and original. Love it!

[jeremymoore]

Nice color! and your style is totally unique. I like it a lot. i think its how you simplify the texture yet the drawings are actually pretty complex. i'll watch your sketchbook. keep it up.

first I draw the simple shape and change it until I liked it, and then add the details that are simple and clear:)
cheers:)

[towy]

really nice style, i think so too

[The-Imp]

Oh, I Like all of these! Very inspiring!

[Hookswords]

Wow. Very interesting use of texture and color. Very cool stuff

[Senira]

Your style, particularly the monster designs, remind me of the look they used in Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker. Even in silhouette form your characters have a lot of personality, and you're great at picking contrasting shapes to really make them stand out. Great stuff.

[Spaggen]

You've a fantastic style man! Very unique. Your characters rocks and the last enviro is very good. MORE! :)

[overcontrast]

I am amazingly jealous for your designs. KICK ASS CHARACTERS MAN! I love them, all of them, I cant have enough of them.

Very nice color paintings and my fave is the redish character sheet in the first post.

keep it up man. Will be back for more.

towy The-Imp Hookswords Spaggen overcontrast - thank you all:) I really hoped that someone like my pictures and they will be of practical interest

cheers!

[luness]

The silhouettes and the different design elements of your characters and props are so easy to read, awesome. You add details here and there that make them so rich and different from each other. Great work!
I hope to see more stuff from you.

Cheers!

[SteFlack]

Wow these are great, you have a lovely style.

I'm sure a million people have said this before but your color choices are really neat. I don't understand how you can put together such different colors and yet it looks so natural. Very inspirational.

-Frank

thanx for your words, Knarf


nice updates man, snowy envo is really cool, how long do you usually spend on them?

usually, I spend 3-5 days on personal matte projects. commercial, usually require more time.
last two works - more like concept art, and to him I try to spend 3-4 hours or even less (sometimes more:)

thanx!=)

[milu]

no, i don't use refs for last pictures, only improvisation, but i watch the other artists and learn from them and yet I really like the theme about the forest, she is my favorite:)
thanx a lot:)
