Now this one looks like what I imagine real art looks like! Stylistically fluid and incredibly realistic, in that way that some artworks seem to feel alive by how glow and shadow is applied even when it doesn't actually 'look' natural. Really nice work!

I wish I had the time and space to do art work, it really is relaxing/fun/awesome.
A real sell-o-fame cellphone superhero! Blue-eyed, suited and brutal, and... nameless? Wonder if she's a charicatyr of a real person or a ficticious contestant? Visuals are great.

"Furious" is her name. The comic is published through Dark Horse.
A pretty atmospheric picture! The fear shines through in all but her posture... might be like Jack said about the legs being too spread out, or her leaning against the wall? I realize now that it might be supposed to look like she's trying to hide, but my first impression is it was more like a stand-off, she's just sitting there, as still as possible... but somehow she appears a bit more relaxed, physically, than the monster merits. Otherwise though, great work!

Thanks! Guess I really gotta keep in mind about posture in certain scenarios.
Another beautiful artwork! Feels like I'm running out of words describing these, but I like the giant perspective, and the way it makes the world look so detailed (and tiny). Though it's probably an illusion, it feels like human-sized individuals wouldn't merit such detailed scenery, it's like it's their to enforce the perspective... and does a great job at it! Masterful work.

Thank you! The feel of scale when comparing these giants to Earth is going to be a huge emphases in future pieces.
It's almost like the story of Pandora's Box... with a twist. :) The visuals are incredibly detailed, all those demonic critters swarming from the 'cigar shaped mothership' (that part didn't really convey the mood IMHO), the gigantic interpretation of Eve behind them. Really appreciate the texts that come with each picture too, most don't have such elaborate descriptions into what's going on within the pictures! I do wonder a bit about the technique used to make all of these though. Is it manual? Crayon? Oil? I get the sense it's done by hand, but no idea what tools of the trade were used to do so. Would be interesting to know how long a work like this takes as well. Good stuff!

Exactly, the descriptions were originally intended only for myself while I was writing the script, but as I continued on I found that they were becoming more and more a form of literature in themselves, so I thought it would be a good idea to add them, and It has turned out to be a good idea. All of these are done digitally with Photoshop. Completion times vary from a week to a month.
In an alternative place and time... or maybe in a time before our time? The Earth seems like more land than water, maybe the side facing the moon that pre-historic continent that covered all, and the moon brand new and resilient, not but the rocky remnant we see today, civilication still hiding beneath its grey dust? It's an inspiring picture, inspiring and beautiful! Nice work.

It was thought that around that time, which was billions of years ago, Earth was still within the fourth dimension, and even may have have exited the fifth dimension not long before that. So in a sense it was in an alternative place and time. The reason I made Earth mainly land was because I believe in the expanding Earth theory, so I needed to include that element. The new Moon would help pull Earth apart and cause her expansion over the course of billions of years, and take her down in vibration into the denser third dimension simultaneously.
A fantastic feature of fantasy! The way that pillar rises makes it seem almost like it's a materialization in the middle of the mountains, not the swirling tornado of rage and energy that it is. The ghostly giants are a nice touch, and the description makes the picture seem all the more profoundly poetic! Both nicely written and drawn, all of it.

I'm glad you like it! Like I said, a lot these descriptions in the script I considered literature in themselves from their more poetic or narrative approach, but that's just how it came out when describing these scenes to myself.
A beautiful and grotesque artwork at the same time. It seems to sybmolize both life and rebirth, the cycle of nature and all living things, and at the same time the colors, the darkness and tumor-like growths are a ghastly reminder of the other side, the antonym of life, the end. Love the attention to detail in this, incredibly rich and fascinating!

I like your description of its imagery, yes, just as man Adam was made from the dust of the Earth, he shall go back to it in the form of decay and death.
I appreciate your feedback, and for scouting me!
That's a loong time back! Would be interesting to know how your artworking has progressed since then, if it has? Looks like something you might see illustrated in a book. Shadowy, gritty; simple. Nice work!

Cyberdevil, your review is so appreciated. Thank you kindly. I know there are very many more talented artists than me... My works are trivial at best compared to you and the likes found here. I was so terrified to post this particular piece, as for me... I consider this one to be my very best work I've ever done. I really did pour my heart out on it. I know that there are many more talented artists than I.... but for me, this is my best.
"Illustrated in a book" ......... oh my, I will admit, you made me smile ear to ear with that comment. Thank you. =-)
Was so kind of you to take the time to check my art out.... I so very appreciate it. Thank you Cyberdevil. Thank you. =-)
Could always try coloring it digitally, that way there'd be no harm to the original if it gets quirky. :) It's a neat drawing, high-tech and detailed! Wonder if you had any reference or just drew straight from imagination (in which case the details are all the more awing in drawing)? Keep it going!

Thank you for all your kind words. I did take inspiration from the cover art of one of my favorite games, ** MetalStorm ** on the original NES. I do wish I had more talent at using computers to put color on a PC to my work. I'm kind of old-school... but I do remember how much I enjoyed drawing this. I would love to see someone who knows more about modern computers color it... just for fun. Thank you so, so much for taking the time to notice. ^.^
