Quite cool. Is it me, or does Guidos work vary very much when various inkers have their messy hands at it?

Have to say that I'm not really a fan of either the toy or the character tho.

He does great stuff. Probly my fave 40K artist.

Guido is great too. I was a little lukewarm to his stuff in the beginning, but changed my mind over time.
Cool pic, cheers for the info.

Great art!

I like BW2 Galvy... anyone who can be a threatening figure while wearing pink is someone to be respected... :D Even if he sleeps through 50% of the series.

sounds like my kind of guy.

I think my fave guido piece is actually the arly one he did for the MTMTE series (Th eone with Galvy and Max)- the arts much simper than your average DW piece and i love it.

Uh.. I missed that one? :?: Is it perhaps available on his web-site? I take it it's among the pieces that was rejected from MTMTE that he released a few months ago?

My favorite is without a shadow of a doubt his Predaking-litho. It just explodes into action and jumps you!

I think I'll have a look on his site now.

EDIT: Hey! His web-site has a link to hasbro-toys, could it be him that's been doing the awesome box-art for Cybertron? :eek: Must research further. Also, we need to find out who did the butt-kicking art for this years convention exclusive 7-pack.

EDIT2: All right. I must say I'm enjoying him more in various styles, less in others. And after looking at his site, you really see him playing around with a lot of stuff. I wasn't really a big fan of his Armada-art, it was way to soft and rounded for me. I rather enjoyed his Universe stuff tho. Great stuff.

He's not my favorite of the former DW-crowd but I can see now, that he needs a second look before one judges his 'stylee'. Hmm, still looking for that Max/Galves piece. hmm... google-time.

Wait! now I remember it! It was acctually a cover,yes? Wich was not acctually used, no? But uh, his Predaking litho is still cooler.
Can't seem to find it right now tho..

I don't think it was this one? The one I'm thinking of seemed to be placed on earth, with as the background.
