I have to add my voice in praise of Didier's wonderful landscapes! 
 
 @Joe:  I think that's my favorite to date.  Well done.

Thank you very much guys ! Very much appreciated !
  Parris, well, this is from my Moleskine sketchbook I  bought almost 10 years ago. I decided to treat it as my  travel sketchbook, and so I have it with me all the time.  It actually start to show some wear and tear ! And I am  just almost half way through it !
  As for the size, well... smaller than an A4 size, but  cannot really say.
  Here is a photo taken recently, when I found a news  article online using almost the same angle than me... You can compare with my thumb !  :)

The diamonds were annoying at first, but I kind of liked them by the end... The original concept was supposed to be flat colouring, but I always end up punishing myself by rendering in some way or another.

Some absolutely amazing work here. Love those  landscapes, Didier...stunning. Must have taken a long  time with so much fine detail. Joe, very cool  pieces...both very natural poses with beautiful  proportions. That is an incredible piece, Peter. The  shapes of the diamonds conform perfectly to the  anatomical forms. Thank you to everyone who posted!
