From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

Sometimes we spot an artist here on WinCustomize that shows a ridiculous amount of promise.  There are a lot of digital artists that post work here every single day, but now and then one comes up that does such terrific work that you just sit back and go "Wow!"  And it's even more satisfying when you can see how the artist has grown in talent over their time on the site.

Today, I was browsing through the newest skins list and hit upon just such an artist; Libardo (lgp85).  What specifically caught my eye was his Iron Man folder icon for ObjectDock

That helmet?  Drawn and colored from scratch in Photoshop.  That's one of the best individual icons I've seen in some time here.

He's also done some great CursorFX themes recently:

But like I said, what makes his recent work even more impressive, is going back through his gallery to see some of his original work.  Way back in early 2005, Libardo joined us primarily as a cursor skinner.  Here are his very first uploads to the site:

Judging by his latest icon, and how far he's come since starting in skinning, I think Libardo is one of those skinners everyone should keep an eye on, I bet we'll be seeing big things from him in the future!

I'd love to see a screenshot of the WB skin you made, Libardo ...any chance?

If your current works are anything to go by ...it ought to be pretty sweet.

Keep up the great work!

Trooper is one of my all time favorites! It rocks! Good color combination. If I could put out a WB that good, I would be hooked!
