[rawwad]

Amazing work! It looks fantastic, great style, lightning is very realistic :) Congratz

[marioucci]

Mathias,

Seriously now, I think this is one of your best pieces. Composition wise that is amazing. My eyes followed the action points with no bumps and the lighting is so well distributed that its a pleasure to look at it.

Tres Bon Mon petit Con!!!

Uh-la-la (something we gonna say a lot here in London together in the summer hehe)

Saludos

Mario

[e338]

i like it a lot. it still have the dynamic and the flow of the fastPaintOne. great!

[flyingP]

great lighting, but then I have come to expect that

only thing I am not 100% sure about is the pose of the figure though, just a personal thing just doesn't seem to fit for me

[Riddick]

Very smart!
Ultra class!
Beau boulot msieur!

[Deeug]

Mmmmm,light & colors ... too beautiful!!
Great work!

[pimeto]

it looks unfinished... you may want to add more detail to it ?!

(dunno how to express my mind in english... hope you understand me...)

[almaghool]

Wow , awesome work :thumbsup:

GlenFX : thanks.

Radagast : thank you!

kornel : cheers man.

tomas slobodnik : thanks for the stars :)

Velarion : thank you!

minminxu : xie xie ni. I like when things are not overdetailed though, but it's a matter of taste :)

Art2 : thanks.

rawwad : thank you

Mario : thanks cuzao ! glad to hear the compo works well for you.

gainix : thank you.

Vahn : danke schön!

Natascha : thank you, glad you like it :)

Ila : hehehe yeah I know what you mean :p

prasa : thanks

varun : hehe thanks my friend.

kbarts : thank you

Rebecca : thanks, you deserve kimchi now. Whats up with the new avatar O_O

e338 : thanks man, I'm glad you like it. Good to hear it kept the dynamics, it's fun because some people don't think it did, and some do. Oh well.

flyingP : thanks but now I want a more thorough crit :p

Riddick : merci.

Deeug : thanks.

pimeto: thanks but what is a finished pic? I personnaly like sketchy and loose styles that let the immagination close the gaps. Usually overdetailed pics are very static. I actually think, seriously, that I overdetailed some parts and should have tried simplifying some things.

almaghool : thanks

[Djampa]

very nice scene really, congratulations on that.
It is really pleasant to look at it, the compo is great and the warm color schemme helps it a lot.
what have inspired you for this one?

Thanks for speed paint tutorial, I appreciated it a lot.

Mario : thanks cuzao ! glad to hear the compo works well for you.

*lol* (inner joke) good see logan around. btw :)

Thks for sharing, best wishes!

[Bliz]

Excellent work!! Love the deep water colour style.

The mood and subject matter make me think of the HalfLife2 city17 (about 50 years after the game takes place though, if you see what I mean?...=]-)

Awesome Gallery as well, I hadn't noticed a lot of those images were by the same artist!

[Kid-Mesh]

Awesome work I love it :thumbsup:

[Joat]

Five hours? You get one star for each hour (well) spent from me.

[ts-falcon]

very nice choice of color pallete, and good usage of max for the perspective!

[TixuOti]

Very Beautiful, As all, I like your compo and lighting :)
Very powerful as sketch :) It's a good choice.

[KaDDD]

hummmm ! !! so good
very nice shoot , il love the ship design , very nice !!
and for finishing the pollish , , the colors .. . . .excellent !!
amazing work

[baby]

pour un debutant ^^

bisou

[warpy]

nice going, i wonder how it would look with a less ruined city look.. more futuristic :)
5 stars.

[BlinCk]

Wow, fantastic work as always, great atmosphere

[GSmiley]

I think you nailed the right spot between too loose and too static. I like you're speed paint, too, but it was too busy. In the finished one your eyes focus on all the right things, which is hard to achieve. Well, I guess not for you!

My computer has a folder where I put any paintings where I like the color, comp, or anything. It is about half filled with your speed paints, so thanks for the inspiration, M@.

[visualboo]

Mat you crazy sob. Steppin it up with this piece eh? :)

edited because I'm a moron

[nethus]

so beautiful :) I love the roughness, and the colours are all very pleasing.

[Tilstrom]

impressive work, this is awesome. :cool:

[Milho]

Really great work!
I like the composition very much, and the colors, especially the guy standing in shadow with blueish/red tones in contrast to the orange fighter on blue sky... very attracting :arteest:

[Raphael-Lacoste]

ça kick des Culs en Ostie!! :)

very inspiring :)

[Huracan]

very cool pic, I like the style!! cool armor too by the way!

[carbonmatter]

wicked!

Very nice lighting and colors - I love it!

[BlackNull]

Trop trop pure, incroyable perspective et éclairage, comme d'hab :thumbsup:
Always a pleasure to see new work from you Mathias, great character design too! I'd love to see the character refined as a stand alone piece, his stance has attitude!

pierre

ps: I didn't read at first you used max for the perspective layout, interesting method :thumbsup:

[Pufferfish]

Impressive piece. Like in all of your works the lighting is top-notch. Colors are great as well, makes it look very autumn like but warm. Great work as usual. :thumbsup:

[igorsandman]

I like it a lot, M@. Well deserved front page ^^ The composition is awesome and the lighting too. Could we see the 3D render you used as perspective reference (I guess that's why you used 3DMax), please.
I admire your work. You've got a keen eye for realistic lighting. I hope I'll be able to do that myself one day (in a not too distand future).
Take care.
-IS-

[flyingP]

flyingP : thanks but now I want a more thorough crit :p


:D fair enough

and I sort of have to think about it my self, was just sort of a gutt feeling as I saw it last night. His attention is off picture which sort of seems a bit odd with the ship approaching in the background, he almost looks a bit like a gunslinger ready to draw at someone we cannot see. The stance seems to relaxed to be on gaurd and if he is waiting on the ship it he's paying it no attention it would seem....just 'feels' a bit disjointed to me

[azazel]

Sweet light and colors of course. But i have to admit to spending some time looking for hexagons :rolleyes: (they occur quite often in your work ;) ), and not finding any. Bummer.

[gpepper]

Je crois qu'on peut dire que ça déchire bien sa maman ! :thumbsup:
It rocks Dude !

[StephD]

wow

I love the colors and the very dynamic rough style
this is really beautiful congrats

[mv]

nethus : thank you.

Tilstrom : thanks !

Milho : thank you :)

Raphael Lacoste : glad you like man, tabernacle!

Huracan : thanks!

carbonmatter : thank you. Very cool work on your site btw.

BlackNull : merci! yeah it would be cool to do in 3D for instance. But I'm lazy :D

Pufferfish : kiitos Jari . Now post your boxy bitch!

Igor Sandman : thanks! sure, see the wireframe in the bottom of post.

flyingP : ah yes. Andrew Ley made that suggestion on another forum, you're right about that.

azazel : thanks man,, always cool to hear from you. But hey, there ARE hexagons there, and a lot of them. And they are pretty obvious :D

gpepper : merci :)

Dezz : merci a toi!

here's the 3D wireframe I used as guide :

M@ :great work! thumbsup:

[phoenix]

Nice work man i really like the lighting... cool

[visualboo]

Haha, I feel like an idiot. For whatever reason (probably one too many beers ;) I read you used max and ps but I thought it was a 3d piece with some photoshop filters applied for the 2d look. I know I know it says 2d in the title but I didn't see that then hehe. Anyways, it's even more impressive then. Honestly I didn't know you had 2d skills. heh

Well I'm gonna go back to my quiet hole now. Later bro.

[pimeto]

pimeto: thanks but what is a finished pic? I personnaly like sketchy and loose styles that let the immagination close the gaps. Usually overdetailed pics are very static. I actually think, seriously, that I overdetailed some parts and should have tried simplifying some things.
yes i understand that, this is your own style...
i meant that the buildings on the background dont look so good to me...
anyway, this is really nice work. i saved it :D

[mv]

bin : xie xie ni ~

phoenix : thx

visualboo : heheheh I guess that's a good compliment then :D I don't do much 3d anymore aside from work now, if you check my site you'll see that :)

pimento : ok, no problem man :D

[ashrumm]

I really like this piece alot the painting sensitivity and composition are all on. Great job color choice is golden as well. Job well done. the 3d wire frame is an awesome idea i bet it saved you alot of time. Awesome Work

[visualboo]

Yeah I need more time away from work so I can keep in touch better. Cheers bud.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Good work, but you talk about 5 hours. For me, speed paint, more or less 10, 15 minutes.
Excuse me, my english.
