I gotta pick that up. Sounds very moving. He has a way with words.

Thanks, key. Glad you like the Bond one.

Perfection? Can praise get any higher?

I can't say how much I appreciate this. Feels great when my work is seen and loved.

Yupp, perfection, enough to say.

And I know this feeling, it gives so great power to work, huh?

[SpaceMarines]

Certainly does. Keeps me drawing more regularly than before I had this thread.

For an instant, while scrolling down the page, I thought this was another reaction photo... then I stop... holy shit it's a drawing!
And it's also f**king great, very realistic, fooled me for a moment.

EDIT:

By the way, as some of you know, I now have a DeviantArt page.

It has everything I've posted here, but in a nice little gallery.

This is probably one of the best pictures on the site. Well shaded, well drawn, great proportions. It is clear that this is a labor of love.

You used pencils of love, didn't you? Only love pencil lead looks that nice.

[SpaceMarines]

Love pencils made from the graphite of admiration, yes. Thankfully, they come in everything from HB to 6B, and probably a few others as well.

Thanks Mono. Really makes me feel good to have this called one of the best pictures here, especially considering how many incredibly talented artists we have here.

Great work, I love the original touches-- especially the distortion on the cruiser jumping, very sexily done!

This is great, SpaceMarines! I LOVE your shadowing. This is one of few things which (done correctly) is the best proof of the superiority of the pencil drawing on each other kind of drawing. You do it perfectly. Which reminded me why I love pencil drawing so much.
