hahahaha!! rocks man, i like the finnished painting of the queen, lovely colors on her.. i dont like the servants tho, that triangular chest didnt do it for me :) its just only me i guess who shares my opinion so :D hehe

love all the concepts, great idea behind it..

Dude thats excellent, yes I agree the painting is awsome.

Impressive altogether. Not sure why Queen is disfigured (the last one), but I’m sure there’s a story behind it… Love the design of the robots by the way.
The finished piece reminds me of “The Metabarons” by Gimenez. No objections at all from this side of the screen.
Bloody good job!

YO! That Second image is GOD DAMN DOPE!!! (Sorry needed to curse.) Man! Get a portfolio of alll quality shite of that level of design and you will be the MAN! I hope it was all out of your head. I think that would make it so much more special.

Very cool design. My favorite of the T-Dome so far.

She really has this "Then maybe I don`t want to be an empress anymore!" expression which makes the first piece absolutely sinister.

She may want to eat something I think.

Real Nice

I really like the Queen underneath the clothes thingy

When she is fully dressed she has charisma (or something) and looks like a powerfull ruler of the land
But underneath it all she is just a normal person and not so powerfull as she looks

atleast that`s what I see when i look at it :D

I have seen your website and your work is really stunning!
The second piece you posted is my favorite - I think it is your best work. The empress has an elegance about her and it is a very interesting composition and unique angle.

Great work!

hurricane: Thanks man. I appreciate you calling out my triangluar design. Maybe I could have toned that down a bit

Fightergraf: Thanks!

darkcult: I'll have to check out The Metabarons, I hadn't heard of it. Thanks for that! Man designing the robots was killing me because I hadn't tackled machinery much before. I ended up really enjoying drawing them in the end.

JOSHUATHEJAMES: "A portfolio of all quality stuff"= I'm tryin'!!!!! Glad you liked it! Yup its out of my head... except for the robot I had pose for me... haha! Actually once I get far enough along I'll spread a bunch of different faces around like THIS (http://www.ericdeschamps.com/ill/imgs/ref_ex.jpg) to look at.

SinisteR: I wanted her to be a ruler that felt more compassion for her mindless servants than for her people. Its all about loyalty with her. Thank you!

Dutch Badass: yeah but she's a little worse of than "normal" underneath! I wanted her body to have a diseased anorexic look, but not known to the public.

faithrenee: Thanks faithrenee, I am glad you think she is elegant, I appreciate it!
