As many have said, you are very talented. I really enjoy your art style, would love to see your take of a Dark Knight job class(though truth be told armored gauntlet portion is right in line with my thoughts of it). Keep up the great work.

Thank you kind sir! I'll keep this suggestion in mind ^^
I'm so grateful to all of you providing very helpful requests which generates into ideas

That caster armor looks freaken amazing. Its sexy but badass at the sometime which is a style this game needs in droves. I really hope SE takes notes on this, hats off to you.

I was kinda crushed to see yet another hooded cloth armor at end game for casters so i thought.. why not start with Summoner and give them some semi-leather chestpiece with a lil bit of Garlean inspired feel to it while keeping the "Darklight" theme SE had created in place. I just went crazy with the armored gloves and lop-sided shoulder armor.. was kind of experimenting how it would look on a caster instead of just seeing it on Bards and Monks. I'm glad you like it! Thank you ^^

Hi guys, hope you all had a good start of the week.

Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday. I'm working on multiple pieces currently therefore it is taking some time for each piece to complete.

I'll be back with more stuff soon but at the meantime i'll share one which i doodled over an old sketch. I could guess some of you probably know the theme behind the armor at first glance despite it's sketchiness.



Have a great week! ^^

You need to put up some contact details... SE should hire you. Top notch work! I loved the SMN concept.

Draft sketch of the Alexander themed armor finally done. I named it "Holy Judgement" which is literally ripped off Alexander's iconic abilities. Had a lot of fun with this even though the brain storm process was extremely draining.

I love your artwork Mad, but personally I wouldn't be caught dead in that armor as a paladin. It's even bulkier than darklight x_X

And in regards to posting your details, I wouldn't put your e-mail on here, but a link to a portfolio website wouldn't be a bad idea.

Constructive criticism beyond this point:
Basing an armor off Alexander is good in theory, but the giant shoulderpads thing... everyone is pretty sick of it at this point, or if they aren't, they're still playing WoW. Maybe a Roegadyn could pull this off, but that's about it. Unfortunately I'm not too sure how to make an armor that looks recognizably like Alexander without looking ridiculous as armor, since he himself is a castle. Maybe it's just a personal preference and others would like it, but I will say that those overly huge shoulders make the legs look about 2/3 as long as they should.
