COMMISSION A ORIGINAL WORK POSTER / PICTURE / POSTER SET TODAY!

UPDATE:

Some of his newer work here:



Max is a budding freelance artist from Celestial Order with massive talent but not earning a lot. I took a look at his artwork and decided it needed to be given the recognition it needs!

I'll give you a taster first (he'll be handing me more samples of his artwork later).

This is a screen from Sins of a Solar Empire (NOT HIS WORK). As you can see it's not very impressive.



Now watch what he does to it!!!!!! This is his OWN drawn portraits. Not taken from anywhere else.



This is his full set which he is still working on as a hobby:



See Milla Jovovich? He based that pic on her.

Frankly these pics blew me away and everyone else who saw it and I would love to see more of his works and put them into prints! But we need some support to get it into print form and I want to gauge interest before I start sourcing for printers.

Don't need to talk about price yet, but just want to see if you guys would be ready to ask him to draw something (fantasy related) or a set of pics and I'll help him distribute his prints to you all!

Please do post your interest in commissioning him to do a poster or something where we will share the cost and sell you the prints! Price has not been decided yet (nothing LOWER than RM30-RM40 (depending on sizes) though these are going to be original pieces) but just let me know if you are interested first!

He is also flexible enough to do other kinds of graphics like websites and all sorts of media. He's a really really nice guy (too nice) so I will be helping him screen people out for him.

*Post reserved for updates and new samples*

Yeah 100% local

The game interface isn't his. It's from Sins of a Solar Empire but he just thought the original one sucked balls so started doing his own. I placed the game interface there so you could see how it looks like in its intended form.

I just updated the first post with his continuing set for Sins.

I can't put them too big or else they'll just be stolen

He did all the portraits by himself.

Some of them like the first Vassari he had some reference designs to base roughly on.

Not sure about the software used. Can ask him.

New piccies

I think he drew most of them from scratch. He had some base photos for his ideas for the TEC ones (the human ones) and i believe they are drawn as well i'll check with him.

Not sure what u are talking about. The FIRST post is the ORIGINAL game. That is NOT him. That's the default game image.

Not him.

I'm just showing the comparison with the set that he made for the game for his own pleasure.

This is him completing one of the Advent pics. As you can see he's drawing from scratch (the first pic is no where inside the original game)



As far as I can see he is MUCH better than the original artist. His Vassari race (the insect race) also looks quite different from the game concept pics.

you mean 'aren't ?

I asked him for permission and a little positive publicity never hurt anyone. Max is too humble to do it on his own and it's always nice as an artist for people to appreciate and want his work.

Well if you guys don't believe it, you better believe it now

Take a look at this piece he had recently done and see how he colors stuff.

Here is another example (skipped steps you can see the whole thing at his Facebook)





He also did the game cover artwork for an indy game called Armor Valley which was recently recognized as an example of good indy art. You can find it here.

http://maximilian-wilson.deviantart.com/ is his site and if you want to see his tutorials, head over to his Facebook and see his galleries:

Just really want you guys to see how talented this friend of mine is and hopefully give him some jobs!

Starving artist!

(He's even bald cause of over-eating Maggi Mee)

Ok, maybe not but you get the drift. His prices are VERY reasonable considering the professional quality of the work done and most importantly he's a frickin nice guy.

I'm hoping the guy who contacted Max through me for the Armor Valley project can post a kind word of feedback here.

can't seem the post the entire thing due to image limit but it's all on his facebook really which I have linked above for any who are in doubt (which seriously there is no reason to be doubtful)

Master artists aren't often master marketers (not that I am just helping a friend). Why do you think so many artists die unknown and only are recognized as great artists when they are dead?

And here's the next set:

And the next!

The final few which involves touching up







One more after this post!

Tadah! Finished!

If you're referring to the office paintings it's cause his client wanted it and it's cheaper to get someone to paint it than to get real life models. Of course the alternative was clip art but he can do those office paintings really quickly and charges quite low for them.

Well, I've commissioned a piece from him and so has my friends and the artwork he did for the indy game is def legit. The piece I commissioned is highly personalized so there's no way he can be grabbing a clip art from somewhere.

Oh well can't please u guys I guess. Even with a step by step thing you can still say trace....:/ ppl not so free to fake step by step ok and to do that would require a lot of skill to begin with also.
