Halloween

I know, I know. Halloween was LAST week, and I'm just now getting my post up. But I've been busy, and there were festivities and parties, so this got pushed back a little. The good news is that it's done, the bad news is I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'd love feedback on it, seriously. I tried for something more dramatic and moody, instead of a generic broadly lit scene. Now that this is done-ish, I'll start working on Tristan and his story. And you think I was joking, but I want feedback!!!

Please?

Figure, Pt. 1

Here are some figure drawings I did during a workshop at work. Nothing serious, just 10 mins. poses. Let me know what you think.

Influence Map

So I know I've been neglecting my Halloween assignment, but things have been super busy at work! I mean it, CRAZY busy. I promise, I will finish it before the big day arrives. But in the mean time, here is a silly thing I made. It always seems like I'm behind in the times, but this "influence map" was floating around the interwebz a while ago and I thought it would be fun to do my own. It turned out to be more time consuming than I thought, but I wanted to find things that really influenced me as an artist. Can you see some of these things in my work? I can, but then that's why I picked them, duh!

Introducing...

... Tristan! Surprise, another post! I've been saving up to make sure there are tons of new content. Hopefully this will give me the momentum to keep posting. Anyway, Tristan is the main character of my new project, and he is a fabulous hi-wire walking, acrobatic giraffe from a traveling circus. All that should give me tons to work off, and provide for interesting side characters and awesome environments. Let me know what you think. I really want to make this project super successful. I figure the more I say it, the more likely it is to com true. Anyway, comments, please!

It's Officially October...

And you know what that means... Halloween is coming! Yes, that time of year that allows us to eat too much candy, and prepares us for November and December holidays! So, to start the month off right, lets start some Halloween fan art. I'm giving myself a week to get it finished, so lets see if I can do it. Let me know what you think.

New Project... Finally!

So I just wanted everyone to see a sneak peak of the personal project I'm working on. I'm trying to get a more "film" quality to it instead of something too "TV", if that makes since. Let me know what you think. Thanks - Matt

Retrospective

So at the beginning of the year, this thing started spreading around DeviantArt. Even though I don't have an account, I couldn't resist making my own. When most people get rid of old embarrassing work, I hold on to it, all of it. Because at one point, I thought it was quality, original work. Of course now I realize its horrible and possibly offensive, but it's nice to have things to show your progress. So look at this "Retrospective" and enjoy. It might even inspire you to make your own. And hopefully I'll continue to get better to the point where I look at the work from 2009 and cringe :)
