Sparth!!!!! Dammit!
Amazing!
It's nice to see you axpanding your style, giving it this more classic look. And yet stil so unmistakingly sparthesque. I absolutely love it!
Perhaps the ships hull is a tad flat. It's not recieving much of the light from the surrounding environment.
Btw, post the rest of the covers as you did on CA you bum 
Good stuff!!!!

Really nice work Sparth!
Your composition and colours are great. I really appreciate your style. It's fresh and recognizable. |

yeah, everyone's right. this isn't a mech (btw i love your mechs), but you can still recognize that this one is sparth's. and i mean it in an absolute positive way. i really like the way you paint - rough, but still detailed. nice colors and composition and i have to agree with sukhoi about the flatness of the ship's hull.
but everything i said has already been said. keep it up! you, sir, rock! |

| I really like that orangy-red flag against the green/blue atmosphere. |

just what people said, AMAZING
I love the way you paint with color, but love even more the whole lightning in this image.
Simply amazing.

| Damn this is my favourite painting from you. The color is subtle and dramatic at the same time. I especially enjoy the foggy atmosphere and the reflection of the water. It's really really cool! |

great painting! and i love your painterly style very much, that place where you see the strokes, but then the picture is so realistic that you don't. great job, it'll look awesome on a book.

| Excellent work sparth. My father (long-time sailing fanatic) just walked past to comment on it, which is really unlike him (he's the quiet type). |
