Did you take marshall vandruffs class? The perspective and anatomy one? I saw your name in a stream with marshall, and wanted to know if it's the same guy. You did some very nice structure drawings of tennis players.

Wonderful gallery. Perhaps it's the set of comics I follow, but your webcomic pages carry far more detail (and beautiful, consistent anatomic structure) than I've come to expect from the genre. Then again, there is always going to be that gap between styles.
Your work with colour is enchanting, and a very well deserved DD.

Fantastic painting style. Totally jealous. I might have to steal your fingers and graft them onto my own hands, so that I may paint like you.

You have some really interesting stuff. At first glance it seemed somewhat bland to me, but then I looked closer at all the clean, crisp details and lines that are reminiscent of the popular "messy style" that many concept artists seem to favor these days. However, it feels very refined and unique to yourself.
(I'm also quite jealous of your phenomenal use of color. Even the subtleties work very well.)
