Must… Make… Comics!

Matt — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:12:26 +0000

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.

Needs More Randomness!

A new section has recently been added to the art gallery! The Miscellaneous section will contain pieces that I either did just for fun, or were one shot deals. These pieces don’t usually fit into a real category, so they will be placed there.

As always keep checking back for updates!

Art Galleries Added!

In an effort to keep this site being what it’s supposed to be, a place to display my work, I’ve added an art gallery page. This page will be continually updated with new images as I go through my archives of work and organize them for upload. Check back often for new material. You never know what I may upload. *grin*

Time Lapse Drawing

A month or so ago I got a new HD camcorder. Nothing special, really, but it’s the first camcorder I’ve ever owned. Because of that you guys are going to have to put up with my inane videos.

Below is a video I made of myself drawing a dwarf warlock. The actual drawing took appr. 40 minutes, but I’ve made a timelapse that brings it down to nine minutes. Enjoy!

DeviantArt for Previous Illustrations

I know you all love my work, and I can’t blame you… after all, who wouldn’t?

All joking aside, rather than posting all my old art files here I’ve decided to link to my DeviantArt gallery. However, from now on when I do new piece I’ll post individual entries here on SE, as well as DeviantArt. While this site may appear sparse at first, it will soon fill out with new content since WordPress makes it much easier for me to update than my previous system.
