[Kambei]

hey whats up..

I'm in the 3d program at the moment. going to be out in december.. Its good to see another VFS'r posting..

I'm busy as hell and haven't gotten the chance to update my site, but.. your stuff is looking good.. keep it up

[Sketch]

Thanks for the kind comments. VFSers are everywhere these days. They just pump them out now. lol

Sketch Designs (http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/)

[xia]

I really dig the creature on the first one. Awesome.

[Mysen]

Just wanted to say i really love the turtle sketch. I think its a very great design.

[DenaceTheMennis]

i like your style man, nice and abstract, dude u should take a look at Trent Kaniugas stuff, he's got a similar style like your turtle, very organic (ya know with bones and stuff), but keep'em comin, i dig your stuff a lot so far :thumbsup:

[Sketch]

Thanks for the kind comments. So far the first one is the fave... maybe I'll clean it up and make it a finished concept.

Denace: yeah I've been checkin out his work. I'm a big fan! I've always have had a appreciation of urban/graffiti styled work.

Here's a new one for today... I was trying to do this as a finshed concept but my ink linework started to look like poo, so it ended up in my sketchbook work.



http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/Ranger.jpg

[behemot5]

there are good ideas here...:p

[Sketch]

Thanks, behemot5!

Here's another. Been trying new stuff lately. I like the way this one turned out. Much better ink work than the pic above. Let me know what ya think!

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/various/Balance.jpg

[Sketch]

Here's another sk8r

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/Tweak.jpg

[Sketch]

Haven't put anything on here in a long time. Been busy moving and dealing with my new Shiba Inu puppy(hopefully I'll have some good sketches of him soon).

I have been sketching a lot lately... just trying out different stuff. Here's a funky monkey...

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/monkey.jpg

[Sketch]

Nother new one. Just a sketch coloured in Photoshop and Painter. Let me know what ya think! Cheers.

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/various/Ponder.jpg

[chudzta]

ooh liking some of these. the first. and the one on the 6th post. it has nice dynamic quality. keep up the work.. u definately have ur own groove with the contourish work. - chudds

[Josef K.]

love ur style! i especially like the creature design and the monkey-head - especially the monkey-head *g*
roxx!

[Sketch]

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

I've started to do the tutorials from Don Seegmiller's book. It's time to start learning how to paint. So here's the first one... a tree! lol

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/Junk/tree.jpg

[-The Swift-]

good work. this is a very nice tree! keep it up, i like your sketches specially the dude with the swords.:)

[Sketch]

thanks Swift. Maybe I should develop that sword guy and the turtle creature more.

Here's an eye from Seegmiller's tutorial... I don't like the shape of the eye, but I wasn't too concerned with the actual drawing.

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/Junk/eye.jpg

[LightBrownboy]

Good stuff sketch, my only advice is too keep drawing from life. Understanding basic shapes and learning what to put in and what to leave out in a drawing/painting is what really draws the viewer in.

Keep going,

-LBB

[Sketch]

Some sketches using some photo refrence...

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketches1.jpg

[Sketch]

Well here's a wip that I'm doing from Seegmiller's book. An excellent book so far, highly recomend it. I'll be working on this again, I'm sure.

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/Face.jpg

[Main Loop]

this is tight stuff.. i like the last one the most.. interesting style for the faces.. reminds me just a tad bit of doze green.. looks like you're getting the hang of painting with that last one

[Sketch]

Thanks Loop! Who is Dose Green? I'm pretty sure I know a graffiti artist that goes by Dose... but I've never heard of Dose Green.

Also just wanted to make it clear that the last painting is not my design, it's Don Seegmiller's. I just did the colours.

[garg]

this rule.. great work.. i especially like townguard.jpg..

I need to work on tightening up and cleaning up my work.. mines too sketchy and blah

[Sketch]

Here's a link to my entry in CGTalk 2D Challenge...

here's my entry into the last drawing time...

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/various/Staring.jpg

[Sketch]

Going to be trying to keep my thread going...

I'll be adding more in no time.

[Yina]

great stuff! you have a really good sense of line weightage :)

[JackalAnubis]

I think you've got some really nice stuff here. soon you'll have some new stuff from the sketch group eh?

[Sketch]

Thanks, Yina.

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_4.jpg

and here's some stuff from the sketchgroup, Jackal

[Sketch]

along the same lines as the last one...

http://www.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_11.jpg

[behemot5]

you got some good stuff...... i like it.....

[Sanby]

I love your sketsches man. I'm even more impressed by the paintings that you did, cause you sare still learning.

I'm interested in this book your talking about. What's the title of the book? I wouldn't mind taking a look at it.

Sanby

[Blackarts]

looking good matt, your style is really starting to come through. I think and extra 30 mins of tightening on each of the last too and you could have something really cool. They are just a touch too loose. Keep it up dude.

[Sketch]

Thanks for the input guys! It really makes me want to do more.

Sanby: The book is called Digital Character Design and Painting by Don Seegmiller. Really worth picking up. I have to start reading it again.

Blackarts: You're right. But it's fun to rip out drawings with Sharpies!

[Sketch]

I took my character from my cgtalk challenge and did her up better. I always seem to have a blast while doing my more 'graphic' looking ones. Have to do some more of them.

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/various/New_Edition.jpg

[Burning Eyes]

I really like that last one, gj mate!

[Sketch]

thanks Burning Eyes! The last piece is one of my favs that I've done. I want to do some more like that.

Here's some faces. I might colour some of these up.

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_12.jpg

Been drawing from National Geographic lately. I love that magazine! Just needs to be cheaper.

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_18.jpg

[teyekanik]

hey sketch... thanks for commmenting on my sketch-book.. I dig yours as well... you have alot of style developing. The sketches from photo reference are my favorite. Keep it up.

[stine33]

awesome stuff dude! i love the funky monkey!

[Sketch]

Thanks for the replys! I've really been into using photo reference lately. It makes me draw things I wouldn't normally ever think to draw. Plus I really need the practice. Otherwise I just get into a cycle of drawing the same shit all the time. Everybody loves the Funkey Monkey... hehe.

[Sketch]

Here's some more dooooooodles.

Tight.

I like the crazy dog.

[cartoonfox]

hey man, awesome style you have

love that dog with the funny eyes ^-^ and the monkey dude with his hands in his pockets. ^-^

keep it up, you going to san fran?




peace man :7up:

[Sketch]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Blackarts... maybe a little too tight?

Cartoonfox... everyone loves that damn monkey! I won't be able to go to San Fran, no $$$. Hopefully the next one.

Cheers

[Sketch]

I'm pretty busy getting ready to move... managed to draw a little last night.

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_23.jpg

[van]

Wow! What a wonderful style! :) Good luck with the move.

[Sketch]

Thanks a lot Van.

Here's a couple from the sketchgroup today....

["ChEsTeR"]

I really like your stuff. You got a fesh flavor. Probrably cuz your an animator. I really like that little frankenstien guy. I'll keep my eye on this thread.

[Sketch]

Thanks, Chester. I used to be an animator... now I focus mostly on drawing and 3d modeling. It's funny how everyone likes different characters. I like that little guy too :P I've done some more sketches but I've started to take apart my computer so my scanner is in a box somewhere. Hopefully I'll be back up and running soon. Cheers

[Sketch]

ok, well I got the move done. So now it's back to business. I had a bit of time to sketch a few nights ago. This was the first time in a long time that I really felt like I was in a groove. Hopefully I'll get in there and colour some of these.

[-sideshowbob-]

great stufff :D

nice poses ! O_o

u sk8 t00 ? board or inline ? iv done both*aggresiv* but board is much smoother and better style


draw more c00l stuff <3 :dur: <3

[Warhead82]

really cool work man...i think im gonna start one of these progress threads/sketch threads.

[Sketch]

sideshowbob: thanks meng. I've done both. I'm not doing either right now but I've always had an apreciation for individual sports. I guess because all my friends were skaters when I was growing up... so even if I wasn't I was still around that culture. I love watching skate/snowboard films when I'm bored. Maybe I'll get a board soon so I can whip around my new neighbourhood.

Warhead: get to it FOOL! Also make sure you're there this Sunday. Than you can post in the Vancouver Sketchgroup sketchbook thread. ttyl

[Sketch]

Had some fun sketching tonight. Trying to get a bit warmed up for tommorows sketchgroup.

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_30.jpg

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_31.jpg

[Sketch]

here's one of those sketches coloured...

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_32.jpg

[Sketch]

here's some work from todays sketchgoup session. I had an awesome time... we had a good flow of work and talk going on.

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_33.jpg

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_34.jpg

["ChEsTeR"]

Did you find that you were best suited for drawing and 3d modeling or did you just not like animation as much. I really like the caterpiller. I think it would look awsome colored.

[-sideshowbob-]

yaahahahaha lol nice man...and wtf is this ?
teat-slug ? awesome <3




keep em coming :D

/m\

[Sketch]

Chester - yeah I could do animation pretty good but I was just really drawn more to the designing side of things. I love shapes, lines and curves and the different effects they give.

sideshowbob - that's an awesome name for him/her(prob a bit of both). Teat-Slug... nice.

Here's some more faces....

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_35.jpg

[-sideshowbob-]

:bow: :dur: :bow:

yea thats how it looks like (teat-slug thingy ) <3

i dont have videos or something but i love watching these xgames and stuff :D
just feels and looks nice O_o

sometimes we had some USA and UK pro boarders making some video stuff at our s8spot in cologne <3

someday i play to do a lil 3d or 2d animation with a lil skateboarder doing c00l tricks O_OO



nice faces man :D nice style.. simple but c00l
any ref used ? some of ur friends maybe ? :wink:


:bow: :dur: :bow:

keep :painting: /m\

[Sketch]

yeah, sometimes I use a bit of refrence for my faces... usually just to get a feeling and than I go way off track from the original ref. Here's some sketches I've done lately... some of them good some of them crap.

[Sketch]

I'm trying to come up with a good design for my next 3d model. I haven't really drawn like this for a long time. I'm usually pulled in different directions than sci fi lately. I don't want to loose it though.

[Sketch]

here's a bit of what's been keeping me busy lately. Decided to add a car model to my 3d portfolio for a bit of varation. I might make it into a Mad Max style vehicle.

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/Junk/front_highpoly.jpg
http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/Junk/side_car.jpg

and here's a couple head drawings,

http://student.vfs.com/~m07matthew/topic1/assets/sketchbook/sketch_47.jpg

[jtheanswer]

Nice style Sketch, dig in to it!! Could you show some life drawings and studies as well?

[redmonkey]

hey man your stuff is beautiful
I'm posting to ask you if i can have your permission to use the funky monkey as part of a tattoo that will be put on me in the near future, i just love the head, I think it would be excellent.
Would I be able to have your permission? It will not be used without your sayso or else its pretty much stealing

[Sketch]

That'd be awesome redmonkey! As long as you sent me a pic of it when it's done. Stoked that you like my work that much... make sure to check out my new sketch thread(click on work the angle sketchbook in my sig). This thread is super old.

[Attho]

I'm really digging your style. I keep imagining the graphic novel these line drawings could fill. i love the expression of the girl in blue, the butterfly girl, and the guy in the red bg(perfect character for a "mission hill" type graphic novel).

on some of these faces the lines make them look like bizzaro(superman) or a zombie. but the crisp lines look really good on a more realistic drawing like the old woman smoking a pipe.

[redmonkey]

thx man, i will send you a photo of her when shes done, again man beautiful art
