LMAO:scream:
I love the sketch with the woman and the squiddy character. What I especially found fascinating that there is not a sign of unrest there. They just seem like a relaxed loving couple. Absolutely enchanting.

Thank you for the compliments guys! Keeps me inspired. And Cyanid, Im pretty much self taught… i did Art up to the age of 18, but nothing beyond that, and much of what i learnt at school was of little value (unless I get some odd urge to stick tissue paper on my work and splatter it with bleach). I’ve simply read everything I could get my hands on online and in book stores. And practiced!
Another glut upload from me. :D

Fanart!
Collab with Angel/Sacha (TheFirstAngel):
An illustration from a scene in my novel, inspired by the song “Open Your Eyes” by Snow Patrol:
Pieces inspired by the Golden Age of Illustration thread that Cris Palomino started in the 2D WIP forum, Leyendecker bros have themselves a brand new fan!:
And finally a few gestures and some very quick life drawings of my cat, as he’s the only model who would sit within drawing distance…

Hi, Sam.
Some lovely drawings…I really enjoy seeing you take them from your pencils to colored stage as well. I’m glad to see the Illustration thread have its effect and look forward to seeing you develop the Mucha-esque piece you started.

Hi…SpiritWind…
What a great way to wake up,.seeing all your your beautiful works, while sipping my coffee:bounce:
I keep drifting back to the second one from the top…The battlefield…in a class of it’s own.
It has an emotional presense about it…speaks to something worth saying, for me anyway.
BEAUTIFUL COMPOSITION AND HEART FELT FEELING…GREAT UNBEATABLE COMBINATION…
As always, a real pleasure to see that imagination of yours at work…SpiritWind
Enjoying all of these, your latest

Oh yeah, that’s what I needed. Inspiration! Your works are flowing with it. Very impressive. Saw the collab yesterday and now with all this other works…wow. This is not healthy for my jaw, but I can surely live with that 
The characters are looking alive, each with his own story. Amazing pencilwork in the piece with the angels. Oh I can go and on with compliments, but I’m sure get a lot of those.
Just to say, that you’re an amazing artist and it makes me happy to see you back :bowdown:

Heya Zeph,
Great to see your update, I’m always really impressed with the consistency and range of your work. I love the pencil drawing of the girl with the bones, I think that’s outstanding. The self portrait too is really cool and I can’t wait to see that finished. Great to see you back in the Workshop as well! As usual you’re incredibly fast!
Cheers
