Sweet as hell! Cool concept, great coloring make for an outstanding piece! Tell me Johan, are you still using photoshop these days, or is that painter? If its PS, I would give you a million cool points if you tell me some of your brush settings!

JohanL, that last piece is awesome. Those arms are sweet.

Yeah I've been having a hard time drawing legs lately, actually. I started doing a few anatomy studies, hope it pays off.. Thank you for commenting! :)

Thank you! I'm using Painter for all my pictures, I never really got into Photoshop..
I really wanted some cool points. :<

Haha, well you get cool points just for all the incredible work I have seen from you in my time in the forums! I will definitely have to try out the downsized painter they gave me with the tablet, it looks so much more like real painting!

another one:

I really think you need to get out of your comfort zone when it comes to faces. Most of the are very similar with the bone structure and facial features. Kind of seems that your drawing the same guy over and over again, if ya know what I mean.

Everything looks really nice and shiny though, and damn! You're impoving fast. That chainsaw guy is awesome.

True, true. I mostly try new things when it comes to faces, like expressions and such, but they fail quite hard, and I just end up doing the same stuff I've done so many times before. Thanks for your comment man, I helps me get motivated to draw more from reference.

Thank you ;)

Here's something drawn from ref, I would do more but I gotta go to bed

WOW your stuff is just amazingly awsome. It's as good if not better than the art in some of the comic books I read.

Thanks man! :)

I decided to join a daily sketch group thread on conceptart, where the topic is; helmet rider on speeding alien racer beast.

great speed blur on the ground.. you really get a sense of his high speed. I think the only thing i wish you would have done is fixed the helmet riders hand so that he has his fingers clawed onto the creature like hes holding on for dear life... right now his arm feels kinda listless and contradictory to how recklessly fast that sucker is going.

Niiice. I agree with Luis about the hand though.

that's sick dude.

it was kinda hard to make out at first cause their positions don't seem very nature.

Thanks for your comments guys. I see the hand-thing, but I proboably wont go into details, since this is a daily thing and the focus is to stay loose and just keep drawing. But it's always nice to get crits on what I do, I really appreciate it. :)
Here's a new character I drew, about 2 hours in, still not getting the anatomy right. :<

I decided to start over with a new piece, I thought this one turned out a little better.

Enviroment practice, no ref

one more

really REALLY cool,
I personally think that you are one of the greatest artist of NG.
Do you use any brush setting in particular?

hehe, I actually wanted to ask you to draw something for me for my upcoming movie, but I know you don't take requests and I'm poor when it comes to money XD.
Keep up the good work.

Btw: The Grass land Enviroment's light source must be a bit brighter. It looks a little (read: very little)

flat... But for the rest it's grrrrreat :D

The legs on this on are really messed up. One of them is visibly thinner than the other. Still, a very good piece.

Have I told you how much I love you? Your pieces are absolutely incredible. The atmosphere of your stuff is so unique. You've got a great art style.

Nah, I try to experiment as much as possible with brushes, especially now that I have downloaded a new set for PS.

I wanted it to look like he's standing/walking with one leg a bit in front of the other. Oh well

here's another entry for the daily sketch group over at CA. Topic this time was:
Small spacecraft flies past the alien mega-trees

This is one of the wallpapers I made for my future movies. I'd rather call the episode "If I Had A Hammer..." though.
