I just got a wacom tablet and if I can eventually render half as well then I will consider myself a success. You amaze me with each piece. I have looked in your gallery several times but i really wanna take the time to post because you don't know how much others are getting out of looking at your work without the comments... this is wonderful.
thank you.

Hmmn, I too dwell in darkness...
I like the suddle deluted earth tones in all of your work. The textures are awsome and give your work an almost tactile appeal as though I can touch and feel the image with my eyes. Great work.

A fair amount of my pieces are from mythology or other legends, even shakespeare inspired. Shows so of the interests I have away from the computer I suppose. I have another one that I havent submitted to da yet too of Loki. Making legend/mythological characters come to life is one of my faves.

Awesome work, Nebu.

I look at pictures like that... and i don't get it, i don't realize how they are done. I am working with Photoshop since longer time, but i have no clue how i ever could create a picture like that with it. Anyway, all the images in your gallery do show so much skill. Wow. Respect!

I'm randomly checking the works of people I'm watching (I don't feel like doing any reviews at the present moment), and because I've been conversing with you lately, I found my way to your gallery. I glanced over your works, and must say I admire what you what. You'll hear a lot more from me in the time to come, but for now I wanted to tell you that I absolutely love this image.

This is great portrayal of Apep the Destoryer.
Some more information on him:
Every year, a ritual called the "Banishing of Apep" would be held by the priests of Ra. They would take an effigy of Apep and in the center of the temple they would pray that all the wickedness in Egypt would go into the effigy. Then they would trample the effigy, crush it, beat it with sticks, pour mud on it, and eventually burn and destroy it. In this way, the power of Apep would be curtailed for another year.
Pretty damned cool.

Apep kinda sounds like the name of a refreshing cola beverage. This could be an advertisement for it... I mean the guy looks like he could use a drink.

I love the textures used in this. it gives it a really dark feel.

Truly amazing... the color contrast, lighting and his expression gives the work a feeling of solitude and isolation, even knowing who he is you almost feel sympathy for him. Great work.
