| Feb 22 1998 | Drew zone47/5 | Wow. It's hard to tell between what's built,what's drawn and what's rendered. Truly innovative stuff. |
| Feb 26 1998 | gene 47/5 | innovative stuff is right, you have one hell of a portfolio |
| Nov 30 1998 | Simon | Hello John Buurman,if I'm not mistacing you're a electric engineer of 37 years old. Maar alle gekheid op een stokje je doet het hartstikke leuk maar als ik jou was zou ik wat meer kleur (blauw bv.)aan de ruimte toevoegen, en ook wat minder strakkere lijnen zodat het allemaal wat meer overeenkomt met de airbrushtechniek. groetjes en ik hoop dat jullie vlug die hele toestand achter de rug hebben,veel succes. |
| Jan 16 2000 | Andre | Mooie plaatjes Johnny! Nu weet ik tenminste dat je dit ook nog kan! Is er eigenlijk iets wat je nog niet kan? Muziek maken! hahahahaha |
| Oct 16 2000 | the random one | I love your work but i think you need to work on making your backgrounds fit your spaceships. The objects look like they were put into a photo and it takes away from the general asthetic |
| Jan 12 2003 | Elfwood artist: Anna 'NightHawk' Schenk | You are a great artist with ships! I know I will be repeating what the above ppl have said but dude, you are really good at what you draw/render. Keep up the great work. I hope to have my sci fi gallery up soon, but I don't think my stuff will be NEARLY as nice as yours. Cheers and peace. |
| Feb 14 2003 | Elfwood artist: Dwayne 'BlackHat' Madison | Nice work. And unlike alot of the 3D rendered spaceships see in other artist's galleries, your stuff looks very intricately detailed. |
| Feb 18 2003 | Elfwood artist: David Alan Bergner | wOw! |
| Feb 18 2003 | Elfwood artist: Helene Pålsson |

| Feb 20 2003 | Elfwood artist: Paulien 'Náriël' van der Krift |
Well, I don't know what to say. These are absolutly
wonderful. I love the way you make these ships. It reminds me really of
Starwars (GREAT FAN I AM). I guess drawing like this is truly a gift. Well done, my friend. -Náriël |
| Feb 20 2003 | Elfwood artist: Line Juhl | It's your planets that impresses me the most...but i am not too thrilled about the way you make the smoke and fire comming out of you spacecrafts... |
| Mar 8 2003 | Elfwood artist: John R. Claussen Jr. | I can see alot of the Babylon 5 influence on your work, especially in the "Shadow Alliance" stuff... I love B5... |

| Nov 20 2003 | Elaine | Lots of thought and skill has gone into these - I've not seen many who can do digital art so well as this! Are you self-taught? I look forward to visiting more of your planets soon! |
| Dec 31 2003 | Writer | And so... The poor boy is stuck in space, between 2 planets, 2 worlds. The energy is pulling him apart... Nice work! |
| Jan 8 2004 | Elfwood artist: Noa Shapira |
Ahh... Spacescape... I just love such things! (unfortunately I don't have the talent to make some of my own :( ) |
| Jan 8 2004 | Elfwood writer: Michelle. L. Batey | Wow some gallery you have here! It is amazing! Were all the images created in photoshop and ulead? I have tried to use photoshop and i cant get anything as effective as this...How could i get my hands on a copy of ulead? |
| Jan 8 2004 | Elfwood artist: Kara Shavalier James |
I love your work. It looks so real! One thing I'd
suggest is for you to take a regular (human) pose/figure class. Your
humanoid aliens seemed a bit awkward in their poses, that's all. Your ship designs are wonderful. They are very aerodynamic and obviosly you thought very carefully about where the weapons and boosters and such would incorporate into the design. Overall, your work is beautiful and inspiring. |
| Jan 8 2004 | GaTa | jojojo nice ^^ i'm a mapache :D john you are a hero, we love you John !!! =') |
| Jan 8 2004 | Elfwood artist: Ian Perera | My GOD! Everything is SO GOOD, I don't know where to start! I'll just pick something random... |
| Jan 9 2004 | Elfwood artist: Veronica De Paolis | I'm curious, what technique and or software do you use to create these? |
| Jan 9 2004 | Jordan | Cool Pictures |
| Jan 9 2004 | cyrbitress | most of these pictures remind me of Robotech... except... not jap anime... and more detailed... kool... detail... yeah |
| Mar 14 2004 | Elfwood artist: Theresa Ellen Krause | You like Rambling Five? (Hits artist John Buurman in the head with teddy bear chilled in the depths of space. Shivers. Realizes after the fact that this could be considered attempted murder.) |
| Jun 4 2004 | Elfwood artist: Oliver Jöhnk | Impressive work. Your pictures look great and I like your creative designs. |
| Sep 27 2004 | Elfwood artist: Robert Landers | This is very awesome gallery.... |
| Oct 22 2004 | Simon |
Ziet er goed uit, uitslover. Wanneer leer je het mij nu eens? |
| Nov 22 2004 | Elfwood writer: Brandon 'lanyx' Christ | John Buurman, I LOVE every piece of art you have. The colors are vivid, even when dark. The reflections are perfect. I wish I could draw, but I'm no good at it. I'll have to come back later. But for now...(gives John a magic silver revolver.) NOW UP UP AND AWAY!!! (rams into cieling) ...I'll just use the door, then... |
| Feb 3 2005 | Elfwood artist: Marieke Leen |
Meeste is neit echt mijn categorie, maar alleem wel
erg mooi! *jaloers* ^_^ mooi hoor, mijn complimenten |
| Feb 3 2005 | Elfwood artist: Christine Unteregger |
Do you do professional illustrations? If not, then you
should definitely have a go on it! Your artwork is marvellous. |
| Feb 4 2005 | bre | wow, very impressive stuff. i wish i could do this type of stuff but all i do is scetches, rarely any color or anything like that. Ur art reminds me of HALO the videogame. (thats a good thing.) |
| Feb 5 2005 | Elfwood writer: Blair N. Woynarski | I'm in awe. I admire people with artistic ability (unlike myself), but this is beyond that. It's beautiful. |
| Feb 23 2005 | Anonymous | Ohhh My god just splendid. A true work of art . really WOW |
| Mar 13 2005 | Alice | Dude, awesome, simply awesome. |
