(first i would like to thank you for bringing me into digital painting some years ago by your fantastic tutorial (digital painting mit ps 7). 
)
the paintings you’ve posted today are fine to read and - as expected - very inspiring.
they have a good amount of mood and the colors are well chosen (as far as i can say regarding my current display <.<).
i’m looking forward to see some more of this promising story,

Fabulous! Absolutely fabulous! In truth, I’ve never before seen art of this kind visualized and rendered so well. Gorgeous colors, lighting, atmosphere, and draftsmanship. Inspiring, too. I’d give my eye teeth to know a little about your technique in Photoshop to produce this kind of work. Thanks very much for sharing. I’m putting a montage of these images on my desktop for daily inspiration.
WOW, your style is very amazing, it looks like combine with disney + anime (Ghibli)!! They are very awesome and fabulous! love your works a lot and Happy New Year 2011. Ah, 5 stars! Cheers
Great! the color and the style are awesome.
Thanks for sharing the all of the great piece.
cheers.
there’s one detail i must have have overlooked, the “michael ende elementary” - in my opinion a great author.
as i look again to these images, i notice how much there is to explore. the scratched bench, the sailship model on the old bag, the shadow throwing dog… and some little references to the film ‘the neverending story’ - but’s that possibly only my imagination. that’s why your work gains extra sympathy.
greetings,
bran
I love your works! I remeber your cgtalk contest image with this boy it is one of my favourite image. I’m glad you have expand this idea to a graphic novel .Great! Some panels reminds me some old lucasarts adventure games which is great! Take care!
Thanks for all your nice replies!
It’s a special thing for me to present this work here on CGSociety. I owe this place a lot because it encouraged me in 2006 to create ‘The Journey Begins’ which marks the point when the story of the Wormworld Saga started to form in my head. I’m happy to be able to start the telling of this story and I hope that it will inspire others to tell their own stories.
Speechless…
I have no words that can describe my thoughts and feelings after seeing these spectacular paintings. It felt like I was living inside the very image I was exploring. How I wish I could have been a part of the story to feel the warmth of the sun and the cold dusty air of the attic. The colors and especially the mood of lighting you have created are amazing, life like yet somewhere in between the realms of colorful imagination. Wishing you all the very best for this new and creative venture of yours! All the best! Count me in as one of your first fans of The Wormworld Saga! 
Great visual enjoyment. I am currently studying illustration, and be able to see your work I learned a lot of popular use, thank you
I wish you a happy new year happy
That’s amazing dude.
Really beautiful style and composition. That endless scroll format rocks!
Looking forward to next chapter!
Congratulations!
