[Visual] Matt's Art

[kaboth]

k, thanks mat I'll be waiting

[Matthew]

I'll add a silhouette of Link on his horse later. This is just version 1.

[kaboth]

oh, wow that's sweet xD, and ok I'll be waiting on the horse ;b

[Matthew]

I gotta do it fast. I only have 29 days left on Photoshop, then I actually have to buy it. I don't have near enough money . . .

I should power-level my art and do commissions on Deviantart.

[kaboth]

what photoshop i can find you a key

[Gracie]

I'm not a Mod but I'm pretty sure that it's against the rules to do that Kaboth.

No piracy outside the right boards.

[kaboth]

my bad didnt know ;b

[Gracie]

Well now you do, so just be careful.

[Matthew]

Lol, "Outside the right boards."

I have a temporary solution in Paint Tool Sai (which I pi . . . obtained a year or so back), but Photoshop's a little easier for me, as I've had about 70 trillion lessons in it.

[Matthew]

Dip pens are hard to get used to.

[EvilM00s]

Dip pens are hard to get used to.

Yep. I got a higher-end calligraphy set for Christmas one year, and even with the EZ-flo gold plating on the nibs it took months before I didn't suck.

Best picture I've ever done, and not even the most artistically skilled.

I just found some gold plating for the pens. I'll use that next chance I get.

[kaboth]

how's the horse with link...?

[Matthew]

I haven't been around my tablet long enough to get it done yet. I've been stuck at school with nothing but my sketchpad and pencil.

I should probably learn how to draw a horse before I do that, though. It might be a little while.

[Matthew]

So there's the rough concept. I've never drawn a horse before--in my entire life. I might redo it after I get a few good animal anatomy books.

And here's some sketches for my Angel Hunters book:

vv Crappiest sketch ever. *sigh* My failure at big scenes is one of the many reasons I'm not doing manga pages yet.

[Matthew]

Impressionism, I guess. I had to take a break from trying and failing to draw lolis.

[Matthew]

The lineart, which I personally think looks a little better. Feel free to color it.


Style practice featuring the healer from my game, a random sketch, and a request for some guy on another forum. It's his OC, Nyu.

[Gracie]

Did you go out and get photoshop? The image quality has just gone BOOM!

But it looks good. I think you should work on your perspective a little.

[Matthew]

Perspective. Yeah. I really need to pull out my perspective books. I've been getting lazy, especially on background elements.

[Gracie]

Me rikey.

The winged fellow is very good.

[Matthew]

It's a little odd that my guys are prettier than the girls, though. *sigh*

Oh well. 2.9 years isn't a long time to be drawing. I'll get better.

[Sashikinaroji]

she seems like she should be more crouched... Idk... her legs just don't look right with her body... She doesn't look like she knows how to use a gun due to her straight armed, apathetic stance...

as a side note, I have noticed that your necks are way too long... They just don't seem natural for some reason...

[Matthew]

NECKS!! That could be the reason I keep screwing up the head heights! Thanks, man.

Also, I've been having problems with legs for a long time now. The way they are in that pic looks like all the sketches I throw out and don't post (that's 3/5 of them). The straight arm is justifiable, as she really doesn't know how to use a gun, but I'll really work on legs.



My game characters. From left to right: Mizu (battlemage), Orrin (knight), Hayley (healer/mage).

[Matthew]

1. Random background/angle practice. It's not very good.
2. Fanart for the game Hanakanmuri. Don't play it unless you like lolis a ton OR like vore and hentai. For me, it's the former. The characters are just adorable.
3. My OC, Miri. She used to have huge boobs, but she looks better like that. Looks more her age, too.
4. Kitty people.

[Matthew]

A contest entry for another site. I need some good background tutorials for Photoshop, but Google doesn't work with things like this.
