Hi there Joe. The other day I was looking for some Spiderman pics, and i saw your sketch of that rise of apocalypse spiderman. I would like to know what happened with that series? Because I looked for it on google and found nothing :/
I don't read too much comics cause in my country they are hard to get and even harder that particular series. I would like to do a cosplay of that spidey suit 
You uploaded the photo on 2005... So I guess that the series was never made XD.
Looking forward for your answer

you have an impresive gallery? are you profesional? could you seen my gallery and give me some advice??
Pd sorry if i make any mistake im not very good at english
π: 0 β©: 1
your work is off to a good start, but all I can recomend, and this will probably sound boarin, is that it would hurt to start practicing "realism". when you draw people and there anatomy to the point where it becomes second nature then you can and begin to develop your own style.

Holy Shit!!! I have been a Deviant longer than you and you already have more people watching you.....Shweeeeeeet!

Hey Joe, I finally found one of those Mechanical pencil sharpeners which I started to believe didn't exist. A Mars Staedtler Mechanical pencil sharpener for art and drafting. But now I have to find a mechanical pencil that works with it because none of the ones I have work. And what are those two holes in the front for?
It's been awhile since we've seen an update, you should take digital photos of your larger works and edit them on the computer. Thats what I did with mine, they may not look as good but I got em on.
Keep up the good work!
π: 0 β©: 1
not a bad idea on the digital photos. the two little hole in the front on the sharpener is for sizing the lead form the tip of the lead to the mouth of the mechanical pencil. use it to adjust the right amount fo lead to sharpen so that you dont put in too much lead for it to snap. for the right pencil use a Staedtler mars-780 mechanical pencil.

Your line quality is drool-worthy.
But I especially love your design concepts.
Heck yes.

Hey Joey its Oliver. I saw your work and it looks awsome.
It looks like a blend of western and anime style and I could definatly picture it in a comic book or somthing. Keep up the great work and I'll look forward to seeing more. ^_^

Wow those are some great updates. Was that a mechanical pencil sharpener you were using at Otakon? I've been looking everywhere for one but can't find it. Really great work though, as always.

hey mojo, yes it was a Staedtler mechanical pencil sharpener that I got from office depot, if you cant find it anywhere look on line under that brand name in yahoo search. good luck.

A MECHANICAL pencil sharpener. A tell-tale sign of a pro. hehe.

thanks for the piece from Otakon, damn this spawn kicks some ass. ^_^ It's inspiring to make me draw more plus my DA gallery is looking really sad. So I'm going to stop being lazy and draw something...and try to get as good as you. Now I gotta get these framed.

Thanks so much for the three commissions you did for me at Otakon! I like the Battle Chasers one especially. Out of all the commissions I got you definitely showed the most dedication in doing them well for the price paid. I wish I'd gotten an Iron Boy commission too, so I can brag to all my friends that I knew you before you got famous. I'm getting the two pandas and the battle chasers picture scanned so if you want a copy of them to add to your DA account or to add to your portfolio let me know and I'll email em to ya or get them to you... Somehow...
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work,
-Mike

I'm glad you liked the commissions mike, I was more than happy to draw them for you. mybe when I get Iron boy signed I will e-mail you a signed original piece. and yes I would like you to e-mail the commissions I did. that would be awsome....

You're new!
I saw you at Otakon this weekend and asked for your site..
I was expecting you to have thousands of pageviews.
I'm so glad I was able to meet you when you're just starting out. When you become really popular (and I know you will be) and everyone wants to commission and interview you, it will be enough to know that I was able to talk to you in person and see your hard work up close.
Thank you for letting me experience that, and (as if I actually need to say this!) please keep making beautiful art.
.. Also, just to be safe (and so that I don't look like an idiot), if this is an account you just made for you professional works or something, and you have an old account on here, pretend that I said all that when you actually were starting out ^^

well I finally got to check out your work. Me likey. You do very nice work your self me lady...do you use "Illustrator" to color with?
π: 0 β©: 1
+_+ That's a huge compliment.. Thak you.
I actually use Photoshop Elements and a little Open Canvas. Illustrator confuses me..
π: 0 β©: 1
realy I guess I keep hearing about people struggling with Illustrator, I myself is curently learning photo shop and I must say its going pretty well (insert sarcasm)..seriously though I'd like to see some more. got anything new coming along?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sort of 
I see you've added alot more stuff as well! I'm looking forward to seeing the products of all that hard PS work! It's hard at first to get used to it and establish a coloring style, but I have faith in your skills.
π: 0 β©: 1
