Mattchew's fanart thread 2.0... The *****e just got *****ier!

[Mattchew]

Looking good man!

It's good to see you drawing again, it means you're doing better (I hope it does at least). Good to have u back.

Thanks... still kinda a zombie with the pain pills and all, but I'm on the mend.

-------------------------------------------------

Drunken Mall-Santa update...

I added a belt, nipple, belly button, some armpit hair, and a bottle of 'Old Timey Cough Elixir'... It really goes down smooth.

Let me know what you think.

[Le Diable Blanc]

Ugh I need some of that Elixir, I got a cold and I sound like a 48 y-o. But hey nothing compared to what you went through so I'll shut up now

Get better dude!

Gross and kick-ass in equal measure!

So I made a few more updates...

I changed the eyes, the strap across the the chest, the hair line, and added wrists and one of the hands.

Fantastic Matt. I don't know if you've been practicing while away from your thread, but the anatomy looks great on this piece. The hand/claw is awesome. and the torso looks great, too.

More!

No practice... Just Halloween costume making and kidney stones. I'm trying to get better with anatomy, however... glad you like it! From you, that's quite a complement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's yet another update: Legs, waist, necklace, and a few really little things.

Let me know what you think.
​

 

[ravana]

Its looking great! Cant wait to see it in context!

Thanks! Not exactly sure what I'm gonna do with the setting. I may have to break out the Conan dvds for inspiration.

-------------------------------------------

Here's the current... I added the legs, altered some stuff at the waist, added the left hand, and changed a few other little things...

Let me know what you think. Next step: shading & background.
​

​

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

Looking hot! I love how you altered the usual elements to make them more "barbarian". That's really neat!

Hey... here's another update. Added a sexy-ass Storm and some chest hair.

​

Let me know what you think.
​

 

[dchisholm]

love the storm, but the chest hair looks weeird. maybe try to make the chest hair more evenly dispursed over his chest? arm hair, too, eh?
your work makes me smiley.

 

[Phig]

inclusion of sexy-ass storm = stroke of fragging genius

 

[Syncos]

Seconded!

 

[KAD]

I kinda disagree about the chest hair I think it works with your style

But I do agree that arm hair would take it up a notch

Your style just screams animation to me

I think that where you should be

Well I think I reply to all of these in one go, as they are similarly themed. For one, thanks for the kind words. Secondly, I fully intend to add more body hair (on Logan, not Storm). Having said that, I scrapped the chest hair for the time being until I can try out some other methods of getting the right look in photoshop. We'll see if I have any success getting a look better than that. Thanks, as always, for truly constructive criticism.

---------------------------------------------

Update... I shaved the chest hair and added the first pass of shading (so far only to their skin).

Let me know what you think.
