Stefan, I love it! Nice job on this simplistic suggestive style that give the effect of a haze that surrounds this planet. I love the work I see on the net of the 2 mobile suits, Ron Hembling has made a few incredible versions of them. Is that a space station in the distance of a vehicle that is shining some light on this crazy planet? Either way I dig it. Last but not least, retro sci fi trips are the best! Thanks for sharing my friend.

thank YOU so much for your thoughtful words, my friend! your feedback really means a lot to me and its greatly appreciated. Glad to see that you are a Retro-lover like me :) For I love to work with light effects and stuff I added a lot of lights to the space station, illuminating the haze and making the simply shapes more interesting to look at. The two space suits are just doodles so far and if I ever turn this sketch into a final painting I first have to design them proberly... always looking for inspirations.

ART!!!!

I could leave this post blank as I am speechless....

Can I say that the last sci-fi painting you have posted is one of my favorite of all your pieces. It reminds me of my first sci-fi book "Terran Trade Authority - Spacecraft 2000 - 2100ad" and all of the wonderful artwork contained within.

You have captured that sense of wonder by using a low camera angle looking up at the stars, the explorers in the foreground treading on ground untouched by humans and station/base high above shows such confidence in it's command of space.... the subject is almost operatic.

You area a classic sci-fi artist and once again you are bringing a brush stroke of pure class to this forum.

Jules, now its me who is speechless, for how can I find words grateful enough to thank you for your wonderful feedback and respect! I am really touched, your reflection of the image is like poetry - what else can an artist hope for than to evoke feelings and ideas that go with his own.
Again thank you so very much, my friend!

Gorgeous News: this is a sneak preview of my centerfold poster which will be published in issue #66 of the Offical German Star Wars magazine on the stands on July 4th!! MY biggest thank you to Robert Eiba, head of the OSWFC, for choosing my artwork and getting it approved by LFL!

Savage was painted after reference shots of a incredible custom action figure built by our Shipyarder comrade Dayton Allen aka Sith-fire30. Thanks so much for this support, Dayton!

thanks a lot, Tamer!
and indeed it is. I guess its wonderful when different kind of talents come together, bringing their creative worlds together. So my success here and the LFL seal goes also out to Dayton. BTW by the time the exclusive rights of publishing dies I will post an image without watermark. And I hope to do similar projects in the future, the club is still looking for special images w/ clever posing and angles of TCW characters or TOR or Legacy ;-)

My very first digital action figure composite done around 2008/2009 on my way back into the fandom which I had left in the mid 90's. So much had happend since then and I am happy that I am doing my scifi and fantasy stuff again like I did in my youth. Hope you enjoy my works and thank you all for letting my be a part of your world :)

You can read my comments on the front page. Stefan I love seeing you take customs here and turn them into even better works of art for it. Like Spry's Norris Tretch and your latest work with Dayton's Savage. Just brilliant imagery.

Shawn, thanks so very much for the fp as well as for your wonderful comment, my friend. Yes indeed this is a trip down my memory lane but I guess also a look into future things for I am sure that there are more pics to come which are based on custom action figures. there are so many breathtaking custom figs around, new ones showing up throwing their sparkles of inspiration on me!
