Mattchew's fanart thread 3.0... *****ing out, hardcore style.

But you can't see the knees cause she is having them in their front.
She's in the position "Get On Your knees" but sideways if you know what I mean....

Like someone else mentioned, Catwoman's legs look way too short for her body. Other then that, awesome.

Her legs aren't too short, you're just not seeing her legs above the knees because they're hidden by her body.

Hey Matt

I must have missed these two... Harley is absolutely gorgeous, and as some with your great steampunk Futurama too, the pic is packed full of fun and interesting details... aahhhhh... she's adorable!! and as KAD said, that slight change from your normal angle of perspective really gives it a lot of depth

on the other hand, the Batman villainesses beating up the heroines... don't get me wrong, i love it, BUT... the depth in this one seems forced... i mean those weird hills in front of each other... i don't think that works. the detail on the characters on the other hand: sublime as ever. looking more illustrational perhaps than graphic... your style here could make for an amazing illustrated children's book. and i love wonderwoman's hair!!

great job Matt... keep it up!!

This is amazing man, truly outstanding. I love you interpretations of the characters and the little nods to the show.

Thanks. I agree, the perspective was COMPLETELY forced. I'm not the best at it (clearly) so I'm playing with it, and its really helpful to hear criticism about that particularly.

This is amazing man, truly outstanding. I love you interpretations of the characters and the little nods to the show.

Thanks so much.

This picture took a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time.

I decided to force myself to do a picture with a lot of figures, clothes, hair, fur, etc. to get some tablet experience...

After thinking about what might fit the bill, I came up with the idea of doing a Wonderland picture.

I was in search of more experience with my tablet, and boy did I get it. At a certain point I kinda gave up for a few months.

Anyway, it is done. DONE! Here's the final...

​

I'd love to hear thoughts, if you get the chance

Thats awesome man, I really dig your style. Would you be interested in drawing a comic? I have an idea for a Joker story. Let us know.

I like it except for Alice's eyes.

 

[Phig]

[spideyboy_1111]

[Mattchew]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

I have been volunteering hardcore for my candidate of choice, and have been REALLY stress of late.

The result: I decided to do a really fun cartoon-y piece to decompress. I decided to do a pic, of Michelangelo... Who is, indecently, my LEAST favorite turtle, but I'm REALLY fried right now and wasn't up to tackling the more complex characterizations of the others.

Action poses are not traditionally my strong suit, so I appreciate comments on the pose.

​

Anyway, hope you like it!

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I might do some of the other 'TMNT' characters like Splinter in time, but i probably won't do the other turtles.

As for Glinda, that might be next for me... Thanks for staying on me about that idea!

In response to your question about the Wonderland picture, that was not an influence although I have checked him out since your post and am really digging his stuff... I intend to use it as something to reference in the future, when working in the neighborhood of that style... As something to strive towards in terms of technique. It really is a much more refined version of what I am going for.

In terms of content, the wonderland pic was more based on a few ideas. I heard the song 'White Rabbit' and I just was thinking about the whole 'one pill' thing in that song in reference to anti-depressants so I wanted to do a picture of Alice looking really glazed over and numb, with the wonderland characters looking slightly menacing... Like you could see them as being helpful, but also a little tinge of danger. This is clearly well worn territory in terms 'Wonderland' characterization, but that was just my motivation. In terms of style, I was just going for a kind of painted, nursery-rhyme-book feel to again contrast the darker slightly-tone of the picture.

The final result doesn't quit convey what I want because countless people have reacted saying that Alice's expression is too glazed over, but there's always next time, right?

FINALLY, just wanted to say I dig the anti prop 8 shout out in your signature. I've seen a lot of polls showing it passing over the past month, but just yesterday I finally saw a poll showing a shift in the other direction. Here's hoping it fails.

I like Mikey.

Thanks!

Very well done no longer the flat stanley of the boards I see.

Seriously though your work is just leaps and bounds beyond where you began

Here's my entry for July's contest where the idea was to do a take on an iconic moment from a movie or comic...
