Hi everyone!
My name is Marco, digital artist from Italy and i'm really happy to finally see the new Proko 2.0 online!
Having a new community to hang out with, share art and interest is amazing.
Here are some of my latest works, let me know what you think and if you have any critiques feel free to share!

Hi Marco you are really good! Love your painterly style and excellent strategic use of colour. I think my fave here is the wolf painting, even though I don’t like wolves so that’s saying something :) lovely to meet you!

What incredible pieces! I particularly love the colours and textures in your wolf and cat - really gorgeous! I love the portrait of the woman with dark hair, but I find the composition of the statue portrait a little unsettling (I feel cheeky even saying that because its so much better than anything I could make!). The head is just a little low down and with the gaze down as well it feels a bit cramped, but that might have been intentional! Also - I have no professional art training at all, so this is just my personal opinion. I love the colours and tones though!
I absolutely adore these, your color pieces are particularly impactful and the texture you use is entirely hypnotizing! Keep up what you're doing because you are well on your way to mastery.

Nice album. I really like the textures and brush strokes on the wolf. The lighting is also really interesting. Did you use reference?

Oh yes, i used a reference but modified a little bit. One of my biggest problem is that i can't really imagine stuff on my own, i always need to get ideas from references otherwise my head is a complete void.

Great paintings! The first and the last one are probably my favourites, but in general I really love your style. Complimenti vivissimi :)

Heck yeah Marco, these are sick! I think I remember you from one of the Proko Challenges! Thanks for coming and we're excited to have you here!
Oh man, I am loving the loose, painterly brush strokes on these pieces!
The brushwork, values, anatomy, and composition are all top notch.
Particularly, I like how loose all the areas that are not in the focal points are super loose and suggestive.
My favorites are the bearded man and the statue head.
Keep up the good work!
