SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Juan Fco. Barud Medrano

YEY!!! I'm now embarked in a new and strange adventure!!! During the Xmas holidays, I'm gonna try something terrorific!! Let's mix oil paintings with anime, and see what happens!! May the wisdom of Ëarendil enlighten me in this perilous task!

I HATE ANIME, But you are very good at it! Please try a different style, I'm sure you be good at it also!

Cool... what else can I say? Siempre es un placer conocer a un paisano. Esta vez fui a checar mas piezas de tu galeria... all of your pics are quite good! The hair is simply purrrfect... I like your armor design, and the way you make the story flow in your comic. Two thumbs up for that! Me alegro de encontrar otro mexicano, y para ser sincera, ya eres el segundo Elfwooder mexicano que visita mi rincón del bosque. Keep drawing, and don't forgett to tell me when you've uploaded new pics!!

Juan Fco. Barud Medrano replies: "Igualmente es todo un placer encontrar a una elfwooder mexicana, ¡ahora sé que en tu galería no tengo que escribir en inglés!THank you very much for visiting my gallery, Es muy bueno tenerte de visita en mi pequeño rincón del bosque. Of course I'll tell you when I update!!"

Hey, new additions! Cool! I like the new twist of your pics... a bit of sadness is always good for the soul. You've really improved, specially on the bodies. Keep up the good work!!! Dibujantes mexicanos unidos! Oye una pregunta... no has pensado entrar a Elftown? Se pone buena la pachanga ahí adentro...

Juan Fco. Barud Medrano replies: "Thanks, colega!! Siempre es un placer tenerte por aquí de invitada! Y que puedo decir! THanks for saying I've improved! En cuanto a lo de Elftown, no entro muy seguido, porque la escuela de medicina me lo impide, pero voy a tratar de entrar uno de estos días!"

Well, this blew me away...
Damn you, why do you have to be sooo good at coloring??
Great work!! You have to tell me when you do a new update!

Keep it up!

Chidoliros los dibujos, mañana nos vemos en clase para que le eche una leidita a la historia.
Y que chingue a su madre al que no le gusta el anime

Heya from one fellow soon-to-be-medic to another, i like your style - its good to have something to distract us from our (sometimes hellish) chosen career huh? altho i have to say ur a lot better at updating than i am, since i started medschool i haven't updated once. Recent mods choice was well deserved. good luck!

Juan Fco. Barud Medrano replies: "Hello there!! Good to know about another colleague here!! i must say you're right about our nice career(sometimes it makes things to become a little dicey!), but it has taken my time to keep my gallery updated, hehe! Fortunately, some classes are Perfect ground to draw.Thanks a lot about mentioning that Mod's Choice. I just can't find out how to get another one,hehe!! Thanks a lot for your comment, colleague!! Your comment is the first one since a long time, at least in this gallery!Thanks a lot!"

Looking through your art im very impressed and inspired. Your ability with colour, shading, setting and form is excellent. You'v got a great imagination and understanding of what fantasy is about, aside from one thing: your characters faces. By depicting them with manga style features you are seriously devaluing your work in my opinion. Iv read your bio and im well aware of the fact your work is drawn from a manga you have worked on. I mean no disrespect to you or your work whatsoever (In truth i think you could teach me a thing or two) but i know of a number of fellow fantasy fans who are oftern dismayed to see a fantastic peice of art ruined when this done to death style is applied to the subjects faces.

Needless to say, this is just my opinion, and art wouldnt be art if we all liked the same thing Good luck with future projects.

Wow you're art is amazing

Omg your work is gorgeous!
