Your concepts are pretty good IMO, and the environments show a good sense of size and epicness. It's all kinda grim and dark, which is cool for a sci-fi & fantasy genre of concept art. I like the way you pencil hatch, it's done fairly confidently and quickly. It's all pretty good so far :)

You make me want to sing a song~*

Okay, first off I REALLY like the direction your going. You are really starting to play with the lighting of entire scenes which is truly making your sketches not only epic, but they convey a story as well (you win this round!) The Shadow of the Colossus inspiration (maybe) drawing is BTW my fav., really shows that very soon you'll be doing some daunting stuff~* Great concepts, good use of tone, good compositions, but as always kick ass environments.
If I were to suggest anything, it would be to add in your signature foilage and maybe more cloud formations to either add depth or just straight enrich the piece.
Excuse me when i'm near you~*

Keep posting foo!

Nice sketches, of course my fav is the big ol monster man up top w/ the vines. Its strange though, you seem to never completely finish a sketch, always about 73%. I would like to see something done, put on some kind of display and maybe even a description, I think it would be cool to see what you would do with it~* Get rid of anything that fades off and frame it so you express your idea to the fullest, I would really like to see that.
We're starting a Florida sketch group btw:)
