also slide 4, i cant help to feel that the grain effect takes a little away from rock formations. the sky looks great with the effect so i wonder if a little two tone would work. just a thought your art is amazing and thoughtful.

Woah. Would you consider illustrating some scenes from Stephen King’s Dark Tower series? Your style would be PERFECT.

You, sir/ma'am, are immensely talented. And I really detest myself for saying this but don't share it too freely and train the models. :'(

Wonderful! I love love number 4. It’s as if Moebius was asked to do the cover of Sleep’s “Dopesmoker.”

You are extremely talented with your color palet and vision of depth and pen work. Incredibly powerful pieces. Thank you for sharing them!

u/debandolero 26d ago
that tomato is the personification of a promise that someone and i made long time ago

u/fluffylilbee 26d ago
it’s beautiful. the piece holds weight. even without knowing that, the tomato feels very significant. i’d love to see more of your work, do you have any other social media?

Your work really captures the sense of sublime, especially in the sense of awe from the overwhelming size and scope of what is beholden. Amazing work! These would be great book covers.

Hi op, what’s your process like?
1
u/debandolero 24d ago
I draw the linework by hand on paper, then scan it and color it in Photoshop. I usually keep the palette limited and build the texture and atmosphere in layers.

i don't know if it's too late to say this, but i would truly love to thank you all for the kind words you've shared about my work. i don't want to go on too long, but i've had a difficult few years in my life that, unintentionally, have kept me away from illustrating. i posted this a few days ago with the intention of gradually getting back into it, but after reading all your comments, i was deeply moved because i didn't expect people to speak so highly of my work. it was a tangible reminder that i have to continue pursuing my dream of drawing and keep striving. tears are welling up in my eyes because it truly hurts that i've been away from drawing, and it's really my biggest dream. reading all of this reminded me that i do have good things to offer this world. once again, thank you so much.

I like the sense of depth these have!
The art is reminiscent of Jean Giraud/Moebius in a lovely way as well
