Man you are flying!! Ridiculous levels of improvement going on here!

Sorry I can't offer any more useful comments. Though I will say that I've always thought you could do with doing some work on improving your sense of structure. With a bit more believability to your forms your work would skyrocket!!

Keep up the incredible work mate!

I once scrolled too fast through this thread and my computer blew up from overloading-win.

Love the studies, sketches, colours, all of it. Show us more.

[MacTire]

What the f Mike?! These are phenomenal!!! The brushwork and colour usage is mind blowing!
At one point as I was scrolling down I thought one of the screencaps was a moving gif capture from a film!

Stunning work man!

[SamC]

niicceee

[Pkmike]

MacTire: super thanks man!

SamC: WOAH haha

WOA! quick update, trying to work on my brush strokes and experimenting new things, had a ton of fun doing those sketches haha, hope y'all like it DD

[LastGen]

I've been waiting for an update, awesome!

Man, the first time I saw your sketchbook I was like "Damn, this guy must be a professional.", but then I just realized you're 18 years old. Dude, that's such a strong motivation for me, you can't imagine that!

Faces look nice, studies are great, clean and solid pencil strokes...definitely one my favorite and most inspiring sketchbooks, thank's for that!

[wasabi89]

Awesome as aways mike!
Really inspiring man. Feeling kinda lazy after seeing your sketchbook bro haha
keep well

cheers man

[Diarum]

wait is that 2nd painting Ironforge? lol

[PieMonster]

Sweet lines and studies! Really liking how you paint different textures and stuff.

I think you could work a bit more on putting sharper edges around focal points and stuff in those quick mountain paintings though. The gate thing that seems to be a focal point is a bit lost due to the bluriness. And you could work a bit on the structure of your faces, apart from that, super cool stuff.

Keep it up!

[thedestroyer]

Hey Pmike, all your practicing has really paid off! Now go and push those Environments to the limit they're really outstanding. Especially your light is awesome.

Cheers

[alexson]

Awesome stuff man. Def. worthy of the win! I look forward to seeing what you cook up on this round!

[ferrando]

your gauntlet submission came out great congrats!!

[SamC]

You just completely nailed it man

[Jephyr X]

Hello again,

I'm digging what you've posted since I last stopped in back in October.

Lotza kewl studies and pencils etc...like here and here.

You captured the light here quite nicely. And this one caught my eye.

And last but not least your dragon pic in #289 above is VERY cool!

Keep up all the great work!

[Vablo]

Holy jesus FUU - Damn!
Where do I start... First of all your sense of shape is just astonishing, really like how you pull it off. The second thing is colors, I can't imagine anything but lots of studies, looking at references and learning by that to get those colors so interesting, vivid and still right. The third thing I guess is the brushwork, a real nice mix of sharp, soft and textures, really makes the pictures come alive.

There are lots to learn from you and by the way I saw the Gauntlet reimagined in Crimson Daggers, and it f-ing kicks some serious ass. Keep it up!

[GEB]

Beautiful updates man! Love the vibrant colours!

[NickyBeats]

wow man! your leveling up like a nut!! your dedication to studies, specifically the anatomy studies is enviable. beautiful work man. really inspiring!!

[Pkmike]

Hey! I'm back to work, but still some time till uni starts again, also life drawing sessions are back! gotta study moar anatomy/form.
Focused this week basically on girls faces (color ones are from mind and grey are mix between imagination and refs).
Also a sketch of some water creature, don't know if I'm gonna keep working on it. Anyway, cheers guys and girls!

[PS Zant]

Oh men, you are so added to my art inspiration bookmark folder!

[DennisH-Art]

Bloody amasing! Damn, your so awesome for an 18 year old :/

[LastGen]

Damn Mike, how did your pencils become this good?! Gotta say that your faces from imagination look great, though it seems you rarely do males. But yeah, women are more gorgeous anyway, hehe!
