first artdump for 2004

[sparth]

lo all!

here's a bunch of unclassified stuff done mainly in 2003. still dunno if i'm allowed to show it all, but hey, if i don't it will forever get lost in the desks of large companies anyway. O_o
(maybe i've shown some of these already, can't remember)

also, my new site is now online. nothing new to be honest, it's just that the name is now shorter: www.sparth.com

an illustration for a novel called maximum ice. (french version) should be released in late february or something.

Amazing.. I love the novel cover. I'm a science fiction fan, and it has a great feel to it.

[shadow]

Beautiful, once again sparth you amaze. I really like robert silverberg novels, and that cover more than does service. good work, very good work.
:D

[Aikisean]

Very nice! I especially like your color choices. Are these fully digital or are they marker works?

[::EPIC::]

sparth, i don't think you have to worry about your work being dated, your talent level sets you apart most of us. Keep up the great work and when you have time give us more!

[Wohr Path]

All of those peices show amazing talent. You must have put in alot of hard work to have become this good. Amazing... just amazing.

[scottg]

Man, I love your stuff!!!!!

[bOne]

Great everybody is back in the forums !

Nice to see you BACK

I simply love the time opera cover ! I want to see more of this universe :)

[Dan Milligan]

IEAAAAAAAAA!!! My eyes, damn it sparth my eyes.... (Dan staggers out of studio clawing at his eyes and screaming. falls to knees and looks to heavens.) So much great... work -gasp- so much talent... -sob- when will his madness stop. (Dan collapses and begins to cry like a school girl.)


Great work Sparth

Diggin it

[faithrenee]

You have great color and lighting skills! You make atmospheric perspective look so easy to do. Love the novel illustration especially.

Thanks for sharing.

[heiesuke]

all i can say is i'm jealous. if u detailed any of these i'd freak out

[Prometheus|ANJ]

It would be so cool to see your designs in an RTS game.

...and yeah, Silverberg goes over the bright spot, but I guess you didn't do the layout. The geometry on the lamp thing is kinda hard to read, with the irregular shard.

[kimchee]

Favourite artist ever. Thanks for posting.

[Blackarts]

these are all gorgeous. Makes me want to go paint!

[the machine god]

Hey Prometheus|ANJ I would rather see his designs in a massive multi player first person shooter. In an RTS you just wouldn't get that sense of grand scale that I get from that dropship pic. Now if that was teh veiw I got when I was in teh game I would wet my pants. Charging in with about 30 other guys just waiting for the enemy to open up on us. Now that would be sweet sweet candy. Great stuff Sparth. I'm amazed every time I see new images from you. You sicken me. maybe I should get a job at Ubisoft so i can bug you every day about showing me how to paint.

[I.was.ink]

Wow! these are georgeous. I would love to see what a game would turn into based on these illos.

-iwasink

[el coro]

riq, shadow, faithrenee, heiesuke, kimchee, Blackarts, I.was.ink, liquidwerx, Atmospheria, Shadowkiller, Loga4, MindCandyMan, scottg, Wohr Path, : many thanx for your kind comments. it's really a pleasure being able to show some stuff again. to be honest i would have a lot more to show but ndas would be lurking around me.

Aikisean: digital 100% as usual. i feel ashamed to do not draw the traditionnal way anymore, it's kinda bad. but i haven't got enough time.

::EPIC:: - thanx mate i'll do everything i can!

Feerik: hehe thanx my friend. great work on your last illo btw.

Living Rope: hehehe thanx ami!

bOne: hehe thanx mate

prom: how about an action game with a prince, could i fit for that? :D

Lung: great!! now i see a semi-weirdo face whenever i lookat my colored blob! lol tx mate

Dan: thanx dan. and yea, the Great White North is good for me. not very easy with both kids stuck at home, but we'll wait april or so to go around the city. it's a pleasure being able to speak both english and french on my working place too. perfect for me, i missed that.

[pol]

Great to see you back! ... we missed your daily stuff. like very much the cover work, incredible design and mood as usual.

:chug:

[God-Of-Zilla]

Lovely work Sparth, especially that first one. :)

Matthew

[janni]

wow, these made my day! wonderful!

thank you for posting!

your color choices on the cover for time opera are awesome. will the left part of the illo be on a second novel or is it on the back of the book?

[Red_Rook]

Heh, I had a fit when I saw these.:D
simply amasing!:eek:

[ShawnYe]

Just awesome. Makes me feel so inspired to paint. I hope to handle lighting that good.

[gallen0]

Wonderful works Sparth!!!

[sparth]

janni : back of the book. there will be pretty much typos in there, but they needed a background for the final compo.

Matthew-S: thanx mate. you've improved a lot btw. you have found the right doors to open! keep it up on sijun !

pol, Red_Rook, ShawnYe, gallen0: thanx peeps!

[Swarm]

SPARTH !!
wonderful work

(ça fait trop de bien de revoir tes boulots, vraiment génial...)

[Kress]

uuuh is it OK to love someone you don't know?

[Reagan]

Most splendid! Man, this is great stuff. I wish I had some constructive crits to offer, but I can't find anything to nitpick. hopefully bumming around this place will teach me that. :D
