I also checked it out the other day after he did the ifx cover of October I think? It's really awesome. . .just goes to show us we don't have any excuses not to be.

I have to agree. Come to think of it we should look at opening a section dedicated to SA artists. Hmm...

[Confuzzled]

There was another SA guy in Ifx not so long ago. He helped someone out in one of those "art classes" things they do. I'll have to go through my mags to find his name though, can't remember the month.

sounds like a plan... I have contact with another SA artist (UK based) that worked for Eurocom etc. . . Does some amazing Zbrush work. . .Gary Newman. We have a lot of talent we just need to showcase it . .

I remember reading about him in IFX, and thinking that the girl had a ridiculously narrow waist. I understand that it's exaggerated in illustrations, particularly in comic book or sci-fi/fantasy illustrations, but I think he went too far here. I like his colours though, and his workshop in the IFX issue had some good tips on poses and weight.

Ha ha I think he used this woman as reference

Wooo, he's incredible! His sister goes to college with me, she's an incredible photographer, so much talent in one family is just not fair.
