Jeez, man- these are boss! I really like the colour scheme of the second image of the OP. However I seem to always lean toward the blue/purple/darker, more cold and scifi-type colour schemes, so I dunno if that's my habitus talking. I however do also really dig the composition and light/shadow in the third image, despite having thinner lines and a different palette. It gives me a nostalgic feeling, but I can't quite pinpoint how or why. I also really understand the "used" aspect of it all- and I do believe it's been under-utilized a lot in scifi. All in all, awesome work!

Very nice. A strange use of colour here, reminds me a bit of "Undertow" (currently published by Image), and also some of Carlos Ezquerra's old stuff for 2000AD.

Mucho thanks EP! Kind of makes me sound like Dwayne Johnson, though... is that a good thing?

Well anyway- here's more. Specifically...

Thanks Ranjo. Yeah, I'm still working on my light sources and hues, I'm kind of looking for a specific, exagerrated look but still meant to be grounded in a least some kind of reality.

The charge bolts of the Mountain Fortress summit's towergun have a range far beyond the cannon's already extensive visual range, winning the weapon little popularity with Ryzar's scattered opponents.

Your work reminds me a lot of the artists from the early days of Heavy Metal Magazine. Looks great!

[Michael Anden]

Thanks, Drezz! Amazing to hear this stuff getting mentioned in the same category as early HM!
