[PHATandy]

Wow this is great stuff man, your environments are very impressive, great colouirs and atmosphere. The lighting on the last one is very cool.

Great work man looking forward to seeing more.

[Twisted Nail]

Amazing atmosphere! I particulary like 1,3-5, 7, 12 and 13. Have you got traditional sketches as well?

[Cyanid]

yup, nice stuff.
those portraits seem to be inspired by linda bergkvist. Nice fleshtones. There are some photorefs? very very nice! especially the first one is very moody!

[Stien]

Very nice work, sometimes very strange and special locations, I also like that atmosphere!

[endercoskun]

wow, great athmospheric lighting on the environments. the faces need a bit work but they look nice too, anyway. keep up the great work!

[gizmodus]

PHATandy: thank you alot!
Twisted Nail: thankee Yeah, there are a lot of pencil sketches on my desk but I'm too lazy to scan them all. They are just exercises, anyway. If you really want some examples I'll go scanning for you
Cyanid: thanks! Aye, I like Linda's style very much. By the way, the sketches here are all from mind...
ender: thank you very much! You're right. I need to practise figure and face drawing, indeed.

Any ideas for a detailed version?

[GunTrouver]

Wow, very great stuff! The lightening is just awesome!
The first one is one of my favourites.
Chracter worx would be great!
Keep it up!

[Mikko Voipio]

You've just become my favorite artist on this site. Fantastic atmosphere.
Lightings perfect. Not too detailed which is the way i like it. Something
has got to be left for the viewer to imagine. Five star material.

[gizmodus]

GunTrouver: Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
Placeboast: Heh, favourite artist? You must be kidding. Thanks, man...

Two speedpaintings:

[Sawa]

wow i like the last one. you have great atmosphere in all your pieces. keep on rocking!

[rewind]

heeeeeeeaaaaaaahh :grasping for breath:
oh my. the atmosphere of your works are amazing.
especially (and i mean especially, because all your work
is amazing) number 12 with the dinosaur has an incredible
feeling to it. the warm orange-blue light combination works
really well. reminds me in a way of some dali paintings..

but the painting with the girl (number 13) is actually
one of the best compositions i've seen in some time. the
colours work perfectly together and the overglowing lips
give a very interesting side to the piece.

strange that i like two following numbers the most. have
you done them on the same day or something?

(i wish this doesn't count as gravediggin, but i just had
to reply to this thread)

[dorian]

oh, didn't see you got a thread over here
keep it up, you know that I love the work..

[buzzz3d]

Always enjoy browsing through here.
Keep them coming!

[prodigy]

<gizmodus> powerful sketches <> mirandopolis6up.jpg is my favorite . . it has a lot of energy. Very cool stuff

[dariocoelho]

giz-modus! giz-modus!
dont make me be a groupie...stop painting! XD

[gizmodus]

Sawa: Thanks a lot!

rewind: Coool, thank you for the long feedback! By the way, the two pics you mentioned aren't from the same day. But I did them one after the other.

dorian: Thanks dude! Nice to see you here... 8)

buzzz3d: Thankee, buzzz. Your comments are always greatly appreciated...

prodigy: Pheewww, are you teh Alp Altiner? Thank you very much! I'm glad you like my work.

dario: LOL Good to hearing from you! BTW did you receive my mail?

Finally an update

[TheCleaner]

these are excellent pieces.. your at i point i want to be at, especially with buildings, i do architecture and my building drawing skills are rubbish right now.. quite a problem as you can imagine

[Waruwari]

Amazing Work ^_^

[Cyberotter]

I think the diagonals in your work sometimes are conflicting and distracting. Especially in the second picture from the top. There the eye does not get proper guidance through the picture. While in your last two pictures your diagonals are maybe a bit too simple ( although the effect is good so who am I to complain ). Great work overall though.

[gizmodus]

That fat kid: thank you, my friend

TheCleaner: thanks a lot! Are you an architect? I'm thinking of studying architecture next year...

Waruwari: thank you very much!

Cybetrotter: Yeah, the compositions could be much better in many of my paintings. Thanks for the feedback! It's really appreciated...

Sorry for the long delay in my postings but I have not much time at the moment. I have to do military service for the next 20 weeks

[WARHEAD]

Dude, you're really progresssing here. You are really improving, keep it up.Great lighting and your perspective is getting there as well.

[gizmodus]

Warhead: Thanks, mate!

A redesign of my "weregnolf"

[Main Loop]

pretty cool.. i think you can get some more color variation in the shadows..Dodowa is great for that kind of thing

[Odds]

love your stuff gizmo, i can't get enough. it's awesome to see another fellow sijun member over here @ CA. keep up the good work-

[morbidhumor]

Great sense of color, depth and style. You have a knack for digital that I have yet to grasp. I'll definatly be checking back with this one.
Do you have any traditional media sketches that you can put in?

[armando]

Excellent environments, dinosaur and volcano city are really cool. Heads need some work though. I don't get "Weregnolf", it's just a chick with red eyes. Gary Faigin's "Facial Expression" is a really good book.

[Smith Wesen]

I really enjoy your use of color in all of your landscapes. They all have a really nice mood. I enjoy your use of green in a lot of your pictures.
I'd like to see you try your hand at characters a bit more.

My favorite so far is that second to last one the two men walking throught the forest.

[Hypronost]

Even though I'm more of a character lovin guy, your landscape work rocks !!
I really like the first image you posted, very simple, yet very strong.

My favourite however is totally this one.

[Shylone_Breath]
