Ooh, this is nice. I really love the boot

louisfinazzo  04/04/02 @825

looks great. nice suttle shadow. nice details in spots, but a little too blurry in others... but i'm sure you could work forever on this and it would never be perfect (like you said). great painting though.

Lee  04/04/02 @829

the signature is k00l. and the painting is great.

Elvaran  04/04/02 @869

Looks great. I really need to learn to do stuff like that, as well as come up with the patience to work that long.

hans  04/04/02 @942

itˇs awesome i remeber that picture back in the days when you had only a sketch on your website. Does this makes me very old?

SlightlyTwisted  04/04/02 @945

This is really fantastically painted. I especially love the whole foremost arm/shoulder, although, the anatomy arount the upper arm and elbow looks a little odd... Great work, though.

daniel  04/05/02 @976

I sure agree with this being a masterpiece.

mrunknown  04/05/02 @104

hah, i remember this too! it was a very long time ago, but i dont think it makes you old. im 17 and i dont think im old.

bigrod  04/05/02 @116

I looooooove the pose man. so dynamic, real sense of perspective. Crisp lines, great colours.... amazing!

TJVerhagen  04/05/02 @397

Lol! Cool pic.. tho you ::cough:TOLE::cough:: it from Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers... still nice work tho.. but Joe Mad kicks your ass still.;p

TJVerhagen  04/05/02 @397

oops that would b ::cough:: stole ::cough::

Martin  04/05/02 @431

True, I stole the pose from issue 5 where he engages brass demur. Here's one of the early stages of the image (http://www2.hku.nl/~martin3/gfxartist/knight_beta4.jpg) where you can clearly see the sketch I used as base. I simply took the comic and roughly set out the pose with my wacom. I have to, otherwise the proportions go all wrong and that would've been bad.

TJVerhagen  04/05/02 @789

heh. yeah your more of an FX man right? see, for me its the other way around.. i can draw better then I can color, or paint.

idvah  04/06/02 @041

hmmm........it seems to go from airbrushed to painting as you go down the picture.

Martin  04/06/02 @432

Yeah there was a bit a change in style. That's what you get when you let a half finished image alone for a few weeks and then decide to finish it. The lower part has more thick black outlines than the bottom part.

BioALIEN  04/08/02 @684

Still though, nice picture overall. I don't think you can complain too much...its simply catchy, you just wanna set it as your wallpaper...

mazkerade  04/15/02 @982

oh, looks great! awsome =)

PeterM  04/15/02 @025

Interesting style, but as noted above there seems to be at lest 2 diffrent styles in the painting. Don't know if that's a bad thing, though.

Cecil  05/17/02 @048

very nice , I think I have seen your work somewhere before not so sure hmm.. wanna see more of your anime work I suppose

pyros  06/10/02 @525

awesome work, i really like the look&feel of the metal... *nods*

FallenZero  11/07/02 @066

The detail is amazing...I'm speechless

Sir-Valiant  12/14/02 @961

Very nice work! The blue ribbon waving in the back is just a little out of place. It does not really have a function in the pic I think, since it is the only one and does not really seem to connect with the body or clothes. But I really love your style of drawing!!

Psychiclimestar  01/01/03 @633

cool coloring at this one.. and the shadow too.. nice.

vbdude  01/02/03 @205

This is awesome! Nice colouring, shading etc.

SilencioS  01/14/03 @986

... eh... ... wow

fizzgig  01/23/03 @247

sweet!! great detail and shading. nice job =)

Fallen  02/23/03 @515

Thight! it´s plain cool! .. I love the boots

AshenWraith  03/07/03 @092

This is pretty cool... it's like ninja-knight!!!... or... yeah... Those brown areas on the shin armor look like worms, or wire... but, I'll say worms cuz it's not futuristic... would have been a bit better if you painted over that to be like some metal embossage imho...

davidborghesi  03/22/03 @587

awesome work

avlish  06/09/03 @151

Better than the original, man. Nice shading, great texturing. Your baby indeed!

Ikaris  07/29/03 @375

I wish this guy was in Soul Caliber.j/k You baby is indeed precious. Hes soooo cute *plays hide and go peek*

Tavan  08/04/03 @610

hehe yes that was my first thought aswell. siegfried was his name! maybe thorugh the oversize sword but its a great work! the right (his left) foot looks a lil bit strange. dunno...

neozeda  12/04/03 @735

Thats incredible, very well done !! +9

Nappa  12/14/03 @352

The stance is that of a samurai a Knight is always in a up right postion there sword are heavy and it takes two hand to use your guy has a cool ninja thing go for him!

all I can say is woooooooooooow !!!! In Russian it sounds so: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh ti !!!! My compliments + my maximum!)

kountshinobi  10/12/04 @164

Yea, and I can't believe that Joe MAD! is creating his own game. (DRAGONKIND) I wish it was Battle Chasers though. Despite the reference, it is very nice. very ninja-esque.

SeanyD  11/04/04 @757

I love this piece of art!! Excellent!!! 9 Sean Donaldson (You vote me i vote you)

Zealeus  11/17/04 @303

One thing I see is his left arm- it looks like his forearm goes from what should be a bulging muscle to flat elbow/tendon. It looks like the transition from forarm muscle to his elbow was kind of a second thought...Plus, for how "huge" one'de assume a knight to be, his muscle isn't all that big. But, still awesome use of the sword and armour!

boszi  12/11/04 @898

very inetesting work.. i like the character.. his pose and the colors.. but i miss one thing... some background to imagine some story behind him..

djoe  12/22/04 @672

Nice painting.... Good website also...Thanks

SKETCHi  12/25/04 @029

Great looking painting. Certainly better than anything I could put together. The left arm looks a bit strange, almost like his arm is broken. Other than that it looks awesome. Great job.

shyamshriram  06/02/05 @466

nice character ! his face is looking lil bit small though.

liquidd  07/14/05 @825

Nice. Kind of a bastardized american anime blend style. And it definitely looks as if it took some time to create. Joe Mad rules, btw. Have you heard about the videogame he's involved with currently? 8/9

darturbrain  07/16/05 @546

cool design, great metal textures, only thing that bothers me a bit is the face, looks a little to smooth to my opinion +9/9

LIH  07/16/05 @928

A true knight: "I am strong. I have a big sword. My body is alert. I watch. My legs react, whenever I want to, but I am calm, I expect the unknown, if it comes, I am prepared." Thanks.LIH

pkorion8  07/23/05 @485

nice shading

Beckett  07/29/05 @880

I am so sure I commented on this, but looks like I never... Nice pose, even if it is copied. Nice sword, where can I buy one?

soheil  07/30/05 @643

try a different bg. give some more brightness and less contrast,,, nice design...

bigwhiter  07/31/05 @171

It´s cool but I think you must improve his face.

bigwhiter  07/31/05 @171

AWSOME i love it... i love these types of pics and urs is the kind of combat style i like.. GREAT WORK 10+

tigaer  09/13/05 @668

looks great. would say the time paid off. even if you're not 100% happy with it.

Biter  09/14/05 @982

Gooooood, very dynamic!

starqueen  09/25/05 @312

its great except the anatomy is way off head is too tiny, bone structure is way too large in the knee/elbow area, should indicate a large cranium! head would almost be...twice the size. also, too many blacks used in the shadow areas of the hues in this work. should have just used a darker hue.... avoid blacks as much as possible unless it's a black cloth. +6

Eleni  10/01/05 @037

awesome

Arcadian  10/05/05 @197

the metal stuff looks really great!!! i don´t know, but i thought i voted already for this.... anyway it´s great! only thing i am not sure about, is the blurred blue thing.. it seems a bit too much "in motion" compared to the character IMO +6/7

edro  10/18/05 @692

very good job its fantastic i would like to read your comment about my stuff!

Andy--Jones  10/27/05 @122

HAHAHA I dont know why I never visited your gallery! It wasnt on purpose I can assure you. Anyway I like this, nice pose. I think the back leg is too dark and maybe a bit more detail could show through.

Byonder  11/01/05 @476

I remember when this was in the WIP forum. I actually still have a jpg of it floating around my HD somewhere. Nice work. I'm still pissed at Joe Madureira for not finishing Battle Chasers... I think maybe in like 10 years or so you should add a background

fabioc  12/07/05 @817

I'm speechless.

ToKra  03/17/07 @582

Hey! Well done I really like the composition on the figure and the sword ^^ I think this has received enough criticism already so i wont give any. +6

deceptionpoint  05/02/07 @753

Wow Martin, wow. I never knew you were so talented. I might not be the best at art. I can definitely appreciate it tho. This is excellent. I hope you can add more soon. I love the sword and the body position looks like it's getting ready to attack. . +5

zymyint  07/10/07 @397

everything is in the standard of pefect i like it n i want to add it in my faved artwork but i cant u should add background dont lazy next time

Aircek  11/08/07 @481

I think no background is needed its a model that sould be made into a Action figure for collection. PS: I think this is how Martin wants us to see him (It's you Martin isn't it.)
