Wow.. Awesome.

Thanks~ :)

Burr

Yesss, I love burrs. ;w;

Absolutely beautiful work <3

Thank you. :)

Simply beautiful. Love the designs on the armor.

Thanks~ :D Armor is funnn... I need to try painting different kinds when I have the time.

BEWARE THE GIANT SPIDERS!

Lol~ That'd be a fun follow-up image. XD

DO IT! Acromantula are pretty bitchin'!

I looked that up... and yes, yes they are. It'd be cool to make a fantasy monster based on one~ :DD *scrounges for time*

bahaha now Im just friggin excited to see the outcome! don;t let me down! >:O lol

LOL, I'll try not to disappoint~ I think my biggest challenge is finding the time to do this... four weeks of school left means there's not too much time to dally. :(

haha I hear you! Im in school for animation, and the homework is non-stop!

Oh my... Everything about this is just stunning....

:0 Thank you!

You did something this powerful in less than 2 hours!? I am astonished.
I love love LOVE his armor.

Thank you very much~ :) I'm sure tomorrow I'll see something I want to touch up, though... haha!

Doing a lot of these quickly helps me focus on the painting as a whole (rather than just spend a lot of time on one area and turn the painting into a permanent WIP)... definitely good for practice.

That's incredible :)

Thanks! :D

That armor is pretty darn awesome! You rock :D

Thanks man~ :D

Now this is just awesome.

Thanks, dood~ :D

i love the colour palette.

God I feel dumb, I need better comments, the last comment I left on any of your works has the same comment about colour palette.

LOL, well I'm glad you like the color palette! Thanks. :D

I've been told by my painting professor to tone it down... I tend to use a lot of vivid colors nowadays. XD

Your speedpaints make my eyes very happy. :D Very pretty choice of purple, too. Also. Augh. <33 The bear's fur color aahh.

Thank youuu~ I love magenta, and the bear gave me an excuse to use that color. >_>

You're welcome! :3 And it's good you took advantage of the chance to toss that in there~

<b> Gah. </b> This looks so flippin' lovely. Bold and poppy and textured. Loose technique with a tight finish.

And bears. :D

Someday I'll figure out the magic behind your speedpaints. For now, I'll settle for admiring that armor and those leaves.

Gah.

Made proper!

Thanks so much, dood! Bears are fabuloussss as are a lot of the non-canine species... totally want to experience drawing them more. :)

Well, the leaves were a brush LOL (not that much magic at all). http://yumedust.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1xwr0p is a wonderful set, I recommend downloading it.
I wish I still had my custom-made leaf brushes, but Photoshop ate them quite awhile ago. :B

daaayuuuum

I like green and purple together

I do too. Barney colors! :D

Hell yeah purple dinosaur love!

I-I wish I could do this in 1.75 hours.
You are amazing. Your detail, your use of color, your painting technique. You are very much, and completely, an illustrator! I mean, look at that armor!

p.s. - you are nuts. 1.75 hours, how is that, I don't even

Thank you... very nice of you to say~ ;;

LOL, lots of drawing over and over... but looking at some professionals on dA, I don't think I'm as fast as I need to be (4-6 hours and their stuff is ready to be slapped on a book or game, wtf). So... speedpaintings are good practice for me. :)

He looks terribly gallant!

I bet he is~ :D Rescuing orphans or fighting dragons, lol.

1.75 hours?! How fast you are!
And you draw the armor so well!

Thank you very much~ I think I need to experiment with some different armor types though... like the samurai kind. :D

I've seen ou on da! *o*
And it's amazing by the way >u<

Yess, I'm on there~ I tend to upload to FA first, though. :) Thank you!

lovely desogn! i like the detail and patterns of his armor Cx

Thank you~ :DD

I'm not entirely sure why anyone would have battle amor that detailed... but art doesn't have to be realistic, thank goodness.

maybe if hes like really important and very good at fighting he doesnt have to worry about ruining it much ay? XDDD

You should take breaks from homework more often. This is tight :D

Lol! If I did, I don't think my 4.0 would survive much longer (I'm a NERD, you see). D:

Thank you~ <33

I love this. It looks like it could be a cover for a book.

A very messy cover, I reckon. Lol~ Thank you so much. :D

very awesome!!!

Thank you~

Hehe oh wow the colors and lines

c: Thanks~

EVERYTHING about this kicks ass. :) I absolutely adore the style you painted it in.

Awww, thank you! :D

I LOVE your coloring syle, be my mentor!

Thank you! I don't know if you'd want that, though... I'm a terrible teacher.

awesome colors!! :D

Thanks, dood! C:

:3

That's a "speed" painting??!! Looks like it'd take a lot longer, with all the shading of the armor and fur. I'm a bit dense, or my eyes just aren't figuring it out: What's the long, metallic object lying horizontally at the bottom? That's part of the central body of the armor, or a bit of the armor covering his arm? Sorry!

Thank you~ I work pretty sloppily in these, so the actual shading stage doesn't take very long at all. It's just a multiply layer or two, with a color overlay so it's not a drab grey shadow. :) Detail is added on top and takes the longest to do.

I think what you're referring to is his belt (holding up that armor that's usually on the sides of the legs?), but I probably didn't define it very well. XD Now that I look, there is a part I could go back and define better... but I need my tablet and time for that, haha.

This is gorgeous :)

Thank you~ c:

Fuck yes this is awesome! The colors are killing me in particular.. the way you define the fur and armor with just patches next to one another. * o *! Not to mention the flat background compliments the rest of it so well. Rock ooonn!

Aww, I'm glad you think so, thanks! :D

Wow, this is really lovely!
I really like how you make everything look all painty in your pictures.
Gorgeous work as always :)

Are you sure it's just not messy? ;) Lol, thank you~ <33

I'm positive :P This is much more artsy~

Nice design and colors

Thanks~ :D

I like this image it is cool

Thanks :)

My answer to not being able to concentrate tends to be playing video games. The thing is that tends to distract a lot longer than drawing and I never get anything done. Hence why It's now 8AM on Monday and I'm desperately trying to find something worth doing on my culture brochure to print out for Laura today.

BTW, Love the armor design, looks awesome.

Thanks so much~ :D

And dude, I'm doing the sameeeee thing now. Laura wanted me to do something with my family, and I really, really don't (my original idea was "too academic," but I happen to really like that kind of stuff). Let's see how this turns out... good luck with yours, too. XD

isn't it funny how she tries to always railroad our designs into something she would do, and not what WE would do?

Granted, she's the professor, so doing things her way is probably the best way to get a grade, but it makes it harder when all the personal inspiration is sucked right out of it.

Lol! It is odd, isn't it... I appreciate she's trying to widen our views on the world, but it can be frustrating when we constantly have to change our concepts around. :I

This guy is awesome, and I love speedpaintings.

I need to do some too, cause I totally spend hours noodling on parts.

Also, this is pretty spiffy, don't knock yourself. I think 4-6 hours total on this guy would definitely bump him into "the ready to slap on a game" category.

Thank you~ I know what you mean—it's so easy to go overboard in one area, and then all of a sudden you have a gorgeous leaf and everything else is unfinished. XD /does it all the time

Ah, thanks hon. ;; Doesn't the saying go... "you are your harshest critic" or something? XD That's certainly true with me... I was more complacent in high school, and my art (and grades) suffered for it.

Not a fan of bears generally, but I can't argue with the style and colors <3

Thank you~

I've found that drawing things (even if it's something I don't ordinarily like) makes me appreciate them more. :) Recently I've been drawing wild boars/warthogs all over my sketchbook pages—I just love their faces.

Amazing work! Love the colors you used! ;)

Thank you~ :D

I can't get over how beautiful this is. ;w; The deep wine red of the clothes contrast so well with the green, yet they fit somehow, and the designs on the armor make it somewhat natural looking.. it's so pretty. ;w;

Deep wine is a pretty way of describing that color~ :0 And thank youuu~

~whorships the Bear Knight~ Don't eat me, I has berries! ~hands bear knight berries~
----
Also, OMG AWESOME Job! I love it! ♥

Lol! Thank you! XD

You're welcome!

The colors are stunning, very dynamic and they go together so well! I loooooove that adorable face XD the bear's figure is really great. Man I wish I could illustrate like you

Aww, thank you! I'm glad you like it! :D

Wow, I didn't see this comment for so long! Thanks so much, I appreciate the compliments. XD <333

I love him!
