Truth is I had no idea MMOART was going to blow up as it has. I have orders backed up for months. I love what I do for a living! I dont know too many people that can say that, and I just wanted to thank all of you for supporting my dreams, and giving me the privilege of illustrating your characters.
Chazz when I initially read your design description, I had no idea how to really go at it
lol! Looking at it now I do believe its most dynamic piece to date.
Lush, thank you for supporting all of my artistic endeavors for the last 6 years. You are a great friend and a wonderful wife. I couldnt have dreamed up a better person to spend the rest of my days with.
Tatsu thanks for the kind words and hit me in PM so we can talk more in depth about composition, posing, etc.
Weasel yeah he's getting it...lol. Also man you have a bit more mail coming your way. Ill hit you in PM's with the details
Also I just posted a new piece Adrian Gainnes ! I love doing moody pieces like this. If you get a chance please let me know what you think.

The new pieces are looking great Gill! I really like the dark detective piece also! I think maybe thats one you should keep black and white(to the owner of the piece).
Great work as always man! Also I havn't got my mail yet. 
Thanks Man! I'm doing a huge shipment on Friday, yours is going out in that batch 
Great work man. Hopefully I can get my wife to fork over some early Christmas Cash so I can get Static Thunder done! I love the work!
Nice work! beautiful.
opefully I can get the money to do a piece .. I'll post it here because my computer is .. well hard drive is erased .. hehe don't ask.
Was thinking of getting my main villain in a picture going up against Manticore, Statesman and Synapse. I know it sounds silly and fangirlish .. cause it is ... but I was wondering can you/will you do something like that?
I know you are most likely busy ... but drop me a PM and let me know if it can or cannot be done and if it's more due to teh sexah-ness of the three heroes.

I am soooo PLEASED to see this type of work and knowing that you can do well (I really didn't have a doubt) I have such a great IDEA for Acid Queen (see avatar) and her deadboys (She's a Mastermind) Now to save up that lovely change to get it done.
Now then as for Adrian Gainnes, I can almost feel the hardboiled attitude that gumshoe has caked on his essence. That is captured the Ink is good and really gives me a sorta of Pulp Fiction (not the movie the actual stories) feel. I also love the attention to detail down to the 2 bottles of booze and the labels...I can see one is Absolute Vodka and the other is Jack Daniels I don't have to read the labels to be able to identify the products. And don't think I didn't miss those 2 stone rune carvings just casually tossed on his desk, giving the viewer insight into exactly what type of things Adrian Gainnes really investigates. The fact that outside his window there's a pawn shop, gives the impression that he's in a lower income side of town. Also the massed cigarettes on his desk close to where he has the ashtray say that he's a guy who's absorbed so much with finding (whoever is in those two photos) that he didn't even bothered to look down to find out where the ashtray was he just mashed them on his desk.
This pieces tells so much of the story by the small details that it forces you to look longer at it than you would normally. There's soo much to take in. You did a great job with this one and I hope the client loves the product.
I'd love to see more moody pieces from you and hopefully one of those will be mine. It's so great to see someones' dream come true and know that MMOART is a great success! I'm sure it will be for years to come.
I still check the site for new stuff and always smile like a kid at Christmas when I see something new.
Great art as always, its nice to see show your different range of artistic flair.

Dude... Every time I see your stuff, I'm totally blown away by the detail.
There is no measure to the envy I feel for your artistic ability.

I'm a proud carebear.
Bloodtalon looks great! So does Nightcraft. I totally agree with everyone else, it blows my mind away.
Everything looks great ...
