Giving back to giant bomb crew with art..

Hey guys!

For a long time I've been trying to think of a way to give back the Giant Bomb crew for all the amazing stuff they do, and the happiness they've brought to my life. So i decided the best way to do this would be to paint them like one of my french girls. Sorry to Vinny, i know your not in there yet, but ill will try my best to get yours done as soon as i can. I love you all and hope you like it.

Just a little background on myself. I'm a 22 year old self taught artist from Michigan.

Holy cow! That's incredible work!

Can't wait to see how Vinny will look like.

That's pretty amazing!

Love it. Love everything about it. Once you get Vinny in there- I wanna buy it.

So fucking good.

Those would make good statuettes. Good job, cant wait to see Vinny.

Is that a codpiece or is Brad just happy to see me?

Ok vinny is now up there! hope you guys like it, and hopefully the giant bomb guys get to see this too.

Thank you for all the really nice comments guys, i really appreciate it.

Very cool.

Ohhhh I was confused because I though I saw Vinny in there....

It looks good, man. Keep it up!

So is jeff like a cross between Raiden and Colonel Cambell?

it looks good man.

@sgt1shot1kill: thats amazing

dude, that's awesome

@sgt1shot1kill: Tell me you have a website or deviantart or something!

What's the medium? I was tempted to say paint, or maybe digital painting, but some of the shading makes them look like 3D models.

@ Napalm I digitally paint in photoshop. no 3d or anything.

Holy- that is amazing. Consider me jealous.

This is like a puppet masters cast for GB. Super creepy haha

*Applause*

Nice work! Would love to see more of your work.

Holy shit! theyre awesome.

Those are really good

Really good.

I hope you're gonna make a living of those skills, son.

These are fucking great. Well done!

Jesus fucking Christ this is so amazing.

@sgt1shot1kill: Consider me impressed.. Nicely done sir. Amazing work!

Thats freaking awesome. Though, I do think Jeff looks a little too much like John Noble.

Great art, but if you hadn't told me they were supposed to be Jeff and Ryan, I wouldn't have known at all. Brad and Vinny look good, but the other two look like random people.

Brilliant! Ryan terrifies me though.

Self learned artists are the best artists in my opinion. Amazing work!

Wow... Those are amazing. I'd love to have them as little mini statues :D.

Great stuff dude. Really impressive.

Thanks for all the nice comments you've given me!

@DeeGee Ryan and Jeff's were done way back in March, where Brad and Vinny's were done this past month. I suppose I've gotten better since then, and maybe that explains why they more accurately represent who they are. I thought too about going back to redo their faces and such, but i was worried about overworking them as i tend to do with my work.

On a side note I'm still trying to decide if I should email this to them, or what exactly would be the best way to ensure they receive it.

Anyways thanks again guys for the kind words.
