    Thanks for the comment. However, for the record I've been doing this for 25 years, and have started way before most of the guys on the net you see, well, accept for the original concept guys like Joe Johnston, Syd Mead, Ralph McQuarrie, Nilo Rodis Jamero, Robert McCall to name few. When I started there was no Photoshop or the internet. My heroes were fantasy and sci-fi illustrators beside the original concept artists mentioned above. Those guys were my main influences and still are.

    And actually it's the other way around where my stuff has influenced the new guys - but few will ever admit that.

    When working in PS I try to vary the lines that are different because I started out with traditional medium first and have migrated to digital. But, I don't think many guys do mechanics like I do - I work out the functions to see if it can actually work in real life. Or that's my goal. ^^ But, yeah the newbies think what they see on the net is the best but the ones that are very good don't even have homepage. I'm speaking of guys like Steve Olds, Ray Shenusay, Lazlo Nozak who are my peers.

    Haha, I think I've mentioned it before, your work has a touch of feng zhu...which is by no means bad. But do you work purely digitally? The type of look that you create here, really gives it a very traditional ink pen / marker feeling.
    The one thing that I'd recommend, is to perhaps use some harder transitions in yoru shading, it looks a tad too soft for me, and I feel like the light is almost pure white. but other than that this certainly is a successful concept!
