These are fabulous!

Great poses, and great character concept.

#3 is my favorite!:D

[Bammer]

Oh Prostate Sunrise, you're my hero.

[Groover McNab]

[Eytan]

Awesome, they are so creepy, reminds me of BloodRayne. The mask is my favorite part, just because there is so much detail.

Is there a story behind this guy?

[karma militia]

ok, thats rediculously good.

a tutorial would make me cry tears of joy. but just a quick outline of your process would be good too.

[The Brett]

[Lohan]

really sick. im esp. digging the orange outlines on the second and third ones

[dCepT]

Damn! Nice work!
I like the poses, they're very dynamic.
The first one reminds of Brom's work.

Just to join in the ranks of the rest of the guys here:
a step by step would be incredibly cool!

thanks for the replys peeps! i have here a short(and very simple) tutorial i made this morning. nothing too special, but a lot of people asked for it. done in ps7.

1. quick sketch, explains itself, me get some crap on screen.
2. gray scale, black on different layers at different opacitys. i go back and erase on the layers with hard and soft edge brushes. get some local values and some basic shading and high lights.
3. basic color, new layer on multiply, fill it with a, lets say, bright orange, desaturate the hell out of it. get some more light and darks, and define some skin(or other areas of interest.)

4. just paint and clean up some loose ends. a quick color balance gets more color into the piece too. usually finish it off with a mutiply layer with the opacity turned down and erase back down to the layer underneath. i cropped the pic and added more stuff to it.

[Loga4]

Awesome!

[Boris]

wow this is quite amazing

[AndreasM]

I noticed your speedpaints a while back and your style and motion striked me hard. I had one of your images on my desktop for weeks. Continue to kick butt, dude! Every single one of them is awesome :chug:

Edit:
They all seem to have the same hand pose, though. Mabye your next figure could hold something? Like a staff or a gun etc..

[karma militia]

thanks, you rock.

get a website and it'll be my fecking homepage

[Sketch]

Your style is the best. I'd love to see you take on some different subjects... as much as I love dudes in gas masks:p
Thanks for the tutorial, I've never heard of that aproach before.

[SEVANS]

Great series of images.

The pieces got my attention, and its nice to see someone who can draw multiple versions of similar/same subject and keep it consistant.

[Skank]

holy wow
youve scored extra points with me for continuing my gasmask/goggle eyes fetish...hehe

this is some solid work man! very inspiring =)

[GiR]

you are my hero

[Verithin]

Are you a Burn Hogarth fan??? What's with the Indiana Jones contortionist hands???

Really though, beautiful work, I love your sketches!

[AmadorL]

[Dougbot]

Cake, your friggin' tearing it up man. Way to throw off the curve for the rest of us ;) Coolness.

[neble]

really cool style. I especially like the bright outline framing the last image. I also really like your color choices. Keep em coming.

[Casman]

Nice, very nice, they look like the artwork for some computergame or so. Nice

:fruit:
