How Not to Be a Troll

Posted by Matt On August - 18 - 2009

We live in a culture based around media and technology. Communication has become instant. What once took days or even weeks to convey, can be done in an instant from anywhere and sent to the world. In this age of information overload, the main thing I’ve noticed is: people are jerks.

Maybe it’s the creative core in me that wants to help out fellow creators, and allows me to appreciate the work, time and skill that went into a piece of work. A recent piece, (Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar, by Felicia Day and the cast of the Guild is one such piece (among many).

Must… Make… Comics!

Posted by Matt On June - 30 - 2009

I hate to admit it, but I haven’t drawn a comic in a long time. It’s a sad thing really. One gets involved in a full time job, video games, and life in general and the time for comic creation evaporates. I want to change that, but I need to decide what direction to go. I’ve looked through my old work, and there are good ideas bursting to be finished, or even started.

Below are three brief synopsis’. All of them would be fun to create, so I need your suggestions (If anyone actually reads this thing…)

 

1. Rembrandt the Mighty: The tale of a peaceful Aardvark people brutally attacked by their evil lizard neighbors. Only one of those villagers escapes slavery. A young child who will grow up to be the hero of his people.

 

2. The Adventures of Sir Pollywock: A hopelessly addled knight, and his surprisingly competent squire adventure in a world of high fantasy and humor. Sir Pollywock refuses to see just how incompetent he is to the eternal frustration of his poor associate.

 

3. Myth: An epic world ruled by epically flawed gods. Myth is the tale of a god who suffers a the cruel punishment of being made mortal. Will he survive as a human and learn compassion for his fellow man, or will the experience crush him?

 

Pages from all of these storylines can be found in the art gallery.

Please send your vote to me or vote by posting a comment below. May the best storyline win!

The Guild Season Finale!

Posted by Matt On February - 17 - 2009

It’s that time of year. A time both exciting and sad. The season finale to season two of The Guild has been released. The seasons events culminate in an unexpected twist that you must see if you’ve been following the Guild, and if you haven’t been following, go watch season 1 and 2 now!

Rock Band 2, Woohoo!

Posted by Matt On January - 22 - 2009

A while back I purchased Guitar Hero World Tour. At the time I was unimpressed with Rock Band’s offering on the Wii. The first Rock Band was a gutted fish on the system, and as such Guitar Hero had my allegiance. Since then Rock Band 2 was released. I was skeptical. I didn’t think it’d be full featured. I was wrong.
