    Love those work arounds.

  • trevor

    I was kept in suspenders looking at these, brilliant!

  • Favouro

    Wow!
    Awesome pictures!

  • Dave

    Well at least we know what Pr0n is he into :P
    Other then that, he’s work is kinda repetitive and boring (possibly sexist?), although quite good graphically.

    • T

      Thank you for saying that. I was thinking the same thing. He’s got quite a bit if skill, more than me anyhow, but the images are repetitive and look like cookie cut outs of the previous image. The Opus Magazine Cover is the least repetitive work and also the weakest.

      And all are very sexist and I’m not one to use that term loosely.

      • T

        Actually, following through to his website it does look like he has more variety. What we see represented here may be the result of Grant Friedman’s editorial prices.

      • T

        Er… process, not “prices”

      • Adam

        Artist has ouevre, news at every day forever.

    • http://www.melodynieves.com Melody

      Sexist because they’re busty and lingerie-clad? I see no harm in the comical, quite obviously exaggerated forms–it’s sexy, “gasp”, nothing wrong with that. I take my hat off to any person rooted in great technique who can meticulously paint for nearly 50 hours, besides, he often makes them look incredibly badass! \m/

      • Dzhee

        Sexist, because pretty much all of them are portrayed in a typical poses found in adult male magazines, where woman is just a sex object. Might be pretty or badass but sex object nonetheless. The world is full of male chauvinists as it is..

      • Grant McWilliams

        Some women for unknown crazy reasons hate it when other women pose in a manner pleasing to men.

  • w1sh

    How does one paint like that? Tablet or pen tool?

  • http://jvgraph.com jvgraph

    wow this is awesome, your work rocks

  • saunter

    speechless

  • monalisa langner

  • Mohamadesign

    yes…

  • http://www.mlabs.info/ Maribol

    OMG! These images are unbelievable! :O

  • Joaquin

    There must be something wrong with my way of looking at all most digital paintings. I just find them so tacky. No offence but my honest humble opinion. Thanks.

    • Alisa

      Marry me.

    • Grant McWilliams

      Then stop looking. Nobody is forcing you.

  • http://www.ericvasquez.net Eric Vasquez

    This stuff takes mad skill. I have no idea how long it would take to practice and get to that level as far as digital painting goes but these are really impressive. Great work!

  • http://www.trabajojusto.com Trabajo

    Amazing paitings. Great job.

  • Ana

    Great work.

    The Vamp Nadine looks like Katy Perry, lol

  • dave

    Yeah sure he likes em busty but thats not it.
    Can you see the level of detail he has put into each one. Its unique.
    Their facial expressions, what they are doing and the sheer brilliance of it all. Its not tacky or for cheap kicks. Its absolute brilliance. Its art…

  • http://www.melodynieves.com Melody

    Glad to see “papaninja’s” work up here..I’ve been a huge fan/follower of his for some time. And his paintings and techniques that he shares has helped me profoundly even in my own paintings..

    His work is far from cookie cutter..you just have to look at the details..besides, what great artist hasn’t developed their own style consistent of certain characteristics? (:

  • piya

    speecchlesss…. awesome… most beautiful….. i have ever seen…………..

  • Caitlin

  • Foxtrot

  • mark

    wow this is awesome!

  • http://thinairmedia.com Sugi

    Sexist and Chauvinistic? I think not… It’s what guys want to see and what women want to be. I love the fact that he’s creating modern day pinups.

    • Dave

      What women want to be…really! Don’t you mean that’s what you want women to be.

  • currybill

    Stunning Stuff! I’d love to see a tutorial on how Serge produces his paintings. Is it all Photoshop for instance? Certainly love to see more. Cheers.

  • http://www.blog.intensemedia.biz Chinthaka Herath

    Absolutely awesome…

  • http://budiarto1.wordpress.com Budiarto

  • http://cheapwebdesignersblog.blogspot.com/ Ramji pandey

    This is very nice 3d modal.

  • http://www.yohantison YohanTison

    Serge is an artist with an undisputed talent, but also an excellent teacher, for putting up with his courses in Toulouse, I reflected, his talent is not limited only to digital painting is also a 3D animator talent.
    Serge also if you read me, you really need us to go to drink a beer when I return to Toulouse.

  • Amin

    wow! good job. its really perfect

  • http://www.designbysasa.blogspot.com Sasa

    If he is “sexist” and draws SEXY girls…And that is not “politically correct” than I am 100% behind his TALENT and painstaking technique, each work takes over 40-50 hours of work…
    I would rather like him to be SEXIST than METRO-SEXUALLY politically correct.

    It is his work and I appreciate it as it is…and stand on its own in the “ocean” of illustrators!!!

  • http://www.digitalmodshop.com Brian Johnson

    I like the Vampire Nadine one. The look on the babies face has it just hilarious and the look of realism with a cartoonish quality

  • Robnelp

    So now art has to be “politically correct” too?
    Some the comments are ridiculous and obviously projecting their own views and beliefs onto the art work…
    The artist is incredibly talented and deserves all the praise in the world. not some judgmental politically correct poppycock.

  • http://gallery.bellefree.com/dabeagle Dean Yeagle

    Beautiful work, and a unique and amazing style. And by the way, it’s not just men’s magazines that depict sexy women…take a look at women’s magazines sometime. Funny, people just seem to like attractive people. And sex.

  • Damixa

    Inspirational!
    thanks

  • ric3t3k

    Hey people, what’s wrong with you! It’s just an art. I’m aware of this artist few years ago and I find his style pretty amazing. I think that his talent is simply out of question.

    “He desires these girls. They are his fantasy.” – the work of /almost/ all artists is fueled by their fantasy. Am I wrong? Some draw flowers and butterflies, some draw zombies and monsters, some just draw sexy fetish chicks. Where’s the problem?

    And yes, that’s exactly what I WANT women to look like!

    “I would rather like him to be SEXIST than METRO-SEXUALLY politically correct.” – that’s da word!!!
