Ebony-chan- thank you.:tihi:

[El Assandro]

Great work. Nice to see someone else from toronto here as well.

[triple7allstar]

Dude - you are very good. What would you charge a musician (myself) for logo work? Just curious. I have a production label and an artist name that I would need logo's for. Would need to be similar in look and feel. PM me with your pricing and we can chat further about this.

Thanks

[Radio24]

there's some awesome work in here. a sin cit fan i see... :) nice stuff. i love the line work, and the t-shirt designs rock. good luck!

You know, you have alot of phallic art in there......but you are damn good at what you do.

[Lone Wolf]

Raverunner- strange comment.I don't see that in my art. Thanks

[Digital_Blacksmith]

Most artists don't see it in their own work. Its just one of those things. Even I do it in alot of my art. But if you look at your art, you will see that alot of your men are holding something up usually at their crotch, pointed upwards slightly, or have a bulge with something on the front, or even armor as on your mech "Gatekeeper"....especially that one....But no, its not a bad thing, since you do infact have awesome work.

Atlantic Claw Serpent:

These creatures roam the deeps of the Atlantic ocean preying upon anything that comes within their reach.
Their favorite prey are the land dwellers that come into the deep encased in their metal shells. The satisfaction of ripping through the land dweller's tough shells to get at the soft flesh within is without equal.

[luke_L]

Wow! I love every piece of work you have here. You are so talented. What advice would you give me to become as good as you are?

Love the characters, and vehicles.

Words can't describe how much i like this artwork.

[Lone Wolf]

ElandI- thank you very much. My advice is too keep drawing and practicing. Do life studies, and that's all there is too it.:)

Much respect

Wow man! I love that piece of work. That character is dutifully menacing and very organic looking. How long does a work like this take you? Very inspiring. :oneye:

[Lone Wolf]

UPDATED WITH NEW T-SHIRT DESIGNS FOR R2L.

ElandI- glad you like these pieces. Each piece took about 3-4 days from sketch to final.

[Lone Wolf]

Updated with new work at the top of the page.:)

[Henchman 21]

mack! its dan from the soulkeeper project way back when. you got waaaay better at drawing man! the new stuff looks awesome!

[Lone Wolf]

Henchman 21- hey Dan, great to hear from you. Hope all is well with you. Glad you like my work.

[Lone Wolf]

Updated with new work.:)

[Lone Wolf]

Looking for work again. Updated with new work.:)

[xoFoxyGirlox]

I really like your work. Your work sort of reminds me of Star Wars with the sorts of things you draw. You should seriously consider drawing General Grievous. :D

[Lone Wolf]

xoFoxyGirlox- thank you. Maybe one of these days i'll even re-design Grievous.
