[Datameister]

Dude, your rendering skills are UNBELIEVABLE. I took a look at your website, and my only complaint is how small the galleries are! We want more! I can't wait to see more of your work.

You're using Photoshop for the digital work, right? I would love to learn about what techniques you use for the rendering.

[EscaflowneLY]

very nice.I like the texture that you have made.

[meeatu]

omg... yer a rendering powerhouse. keep em coming

[SEVANS]

Those are some impressive sketches. I would consider most of them finished artwork if they were mine (note to self: most check your finished artwork).

You have a great ability to render animals with personality. The elephant statue image is very impressive and CUTE.

[TIO_MATT]

Thanks for all your comments. :wink:

The elephant was a good exercise....here it is a quick one 30 mn... in Phothoshop CS like the rest.... without reference.

http://www.jf-muro.com//PORTFOLIO/small/STUDY_FROG.jpg

I am going to try not to do too much finish stuff..It ends up boring...

I should try more....quick things....even if they are not correct..LIKE THIS SHITY ONE..... :bashful: . :bashful: . :bashful: ....to exercise my shapes...... :bashful:
And ideas from my head... :yawn:

[Bruce Pluto]

Nice stuff, I'll be coming back often. If your just starting I see a great future ahead for you ;)

Keep it up Tio, I like it, Bruce

[TIO_MATT]

Another crazy fearie, still exploring this character....
I will do a better one here it is 1h in PS.
I still think I have to do more studies..I am not happy how my drawings turn up yet, I dont have control yet, and jump to quick in detail...and not concentrating overall and composition wise. :^^;:
http://www.jf-muro.com//PORTFOLIO/small/fearies_01.jpg :blahblah:

[neoknocker]

Awesome work. Really inspiring.

[Cyanid]

wow you got some skills! inspiring!
I am such a noob :D

[Mikko Voipio]

Wow. Wonderfull texturing and shading. I especially like the turtle head. Will be looking forward to your future posts.

[cateaic]

<3 <3 <3 Nice studies!

[TIO_MATT]

[blacky]

That somebody with such remarkable skills as you doesn't has a job (at present),
scares me. Is competition in the industry that tough nowadays?
Please, somebody give him a job. For gods sake.
Or else I'm gonna have to go on demonstration against the injustice of the world. :yayca: :yayca:

[TIO_MATT]

Thanks......this is also some 3d character I did a couple mounths ago....
I could also post them, as quickconcepts...for this thread.

Sometimes I find 3d a great tool to express complex concepts..too.. :confident

[ashemoto]

some really impressive stuff here friend

I agree with you about finishing with detail this is boring sometimes but working to finish with fine detail can improve your skills and veryoften can be quite rewarding in itself.

You have what counts will come back often

[TIO_MATT]

:dur: I have update the blue sketch on my latest post a quick one before taking a shower... having fun not trying to do any fiinal piece..
I think is better to do a lot of skeetches....not concentrating in doing just a beatiful drawings...just draw.and draw...having always fun...
.and when I feel mature enough jump for a final piece... 8)

[Badger]

Is so much to learn........

[TIO_MATT]

This last doodle...very Brian Froud...:rolleyes:
It wasnt my intention...:$
...more to came...

[Smith Wesen]

All of your stuff so far has been very talented. That turtle blew me out of the water though, I loved how the colors remained creamy and smooth yet you got a great deal of realism out of it.

[TIO_MATT]

Sorry for late update I was in the middle of a removal Now I will be able to update more often!!:D

A new one here...unfinished but interesting

[ArcoNL]

Marvellous work, incredible rendering....

[sketchling]

hehe... you are like and extension of finalrender :D that tortoise is mad.

One thing I think that woulds help a lot with your pictures...or at least the people drawings... try to show the difference between the shadows of the form and the cast shadows... one is cradual and soft, the other has hard edges (cast shadows have hard edges) Your edged are all pretty soft.

I love the personality you get in your charracters. I need to work on that! MORE!!! hehe. saturday. We can draw all day :)

[TIO_MATT]

Thanks, sketchling I will try that concept of shadows...in my next drawings.....:teeth:

[TIO_MATT]

I was drawing all afternoon with DirtyC sketching and Steve a great 2d animator:yayca:
We were in a cofeeshop yesterday,,,,In Sojo, London.
It was great to have different influences from other artist.
I did some doodles...I will try to scan them and post sortly.:blahblah:

[Deverion]

This is beautiful work, your painting technique and rendering is brilliant, excellent use of color and texture. I'd love to see more studies and more pages from your sketchbook, keep posting :)

[Pixeldragoon]

That gorilla, how in the hell did you do that gorilla? I layed it over in Photoshop and EVERYTHING ABOUT IT is EXACTLY THE SAME. The only difference is the grain from the pencil. It's literally SPOT ON, values and everything, there is not 1 small inconsistency in it!!!

[TIO_MATT]

PixelDragoon:Here it is a rough tutorial of the orangutan face....I havent got old the steps..beacuse, I delete the file....sorry......

[sketchling]

hehe :) I like him! Cute :) Keep em coming!!!

[Y-S]

OMG

this site's full of talent

Man I hate you lol j/k you're talented, keep it up, good one

[TIO_MATT]

A ungry horse......I have to draw the all thing....I am lazy bastard...:nohope:

http://www.jf-muro.com//PORTFOLIO/small/SKETCH_08.jpg

[Sirio_Brozzi]

Your rendering skills are really mindblowing..Very stylish and appealing stuff! Cant wait to see more.

[deadpool]

wow man, your turtels are so photorealistic and your characters have such a personallity, you do very good eyes also. crazy ass stuff here man keep it up!

[sketchling]

that horse is really really cool!!! Lots of personality and energy. Love it :D

[TIO_MATT]

Thanks.....sketchling, Y-S......although...I think I have to risk more in my composition....and drawing....more.views...of the all horse...etc......
I am going to do more studies....:xpld:

[TIO_MATT]

Fuck! I dont know what the hell is this!!!!
A funny monster?
But Today I cant really concentrate much!!
I did this after work....No really inspired...but good to show...Experimental and unfinished stuff....
I quite have fun....but didnt learn to much...
More to came....?:bashful:
http://www.jf-muro.com//PORTFOLIO/small/SKETCH_09.jpg

[Bald Muffin]

The green monster's shoulders don't seem to be symmetric, but then again it might be intentional. Your pictures all have AMAZING texture. I first thought http://www.jf-muro.com//PORTFOLIO/small/insect.jpg is a photo. :x

[sketchling]

hehe :) Cant force yerself to learn toooo often. ya have to have fun sometime!!! I have to see ya before ya leave!!! Im so busy with Hogfather I havent had a chance yet, but wanna do something this week? :)
K

(I think he's cute :) He has character)

[TIO_MATT]

This one is another :O design......This week ...monster week!!!

http://www.jf-muro.com//PORTFOLIO/small/SKETCH_10.jpg

[sketchling]

haha. fantastic :) One thing though... i really think it would be good to start on a piece op 'paper' with at least some tone... the white of the paper shouts and drwas attention away from your charactr and its highlights.

love the fur :)

[TIO_MATT]

U right about .....that...I suppost It was so late..at night that I wasnt aware of that........I will try to bring more tone to the all thing...in next..drawings....Other waise, it will looks to wash out...... and will lose volumes...
:^^;:

[TIO_MATT]

..I will try to work more in my poses...to be more....extreme...specially with this hands...which I think the pose is really poor....

I think the fingers look at bit too stiff.:^^;:
I will make sure the hands have a good strong poses in the future....:^^;:

[TIO_MATT]

I did I bit of work adding detail, and enphasising shapes......The pose could be better,,,..I will do more and different characters......For now I consider this one...finish...but ,,it could be better...;)

http://www.jf-muro.com//PORTFOLIO/small/SKETCH_11.jpg

[TIO_MATT]

A small quick test before I went to bed....last night, couldnt be bother to finish it properly........I will try new....things soon.
Good night....

[ikuru]

wowsi, nice eyes on these, a bit brian froud ish... but these are better sort off.

[TIO_MATT]

Brian froud has been always a great influence in my work....He is miles better though,...:nohope:
I will try to experiment, some more.
And do some more Figure drawing.
doodeling.......doodeling.....all night..

[InvertedChalupa]

What a refreshing style! Don't see alot of this kind of stuff on the boards often. Thank you.

[tensai]

great characters, lighting and colours man - wonderful work. all have a very photographic but cartoony feel to them. nice combination.

[styler]

holy shit. Nice

[Envisor]

Nice style, great sketchbook. Animals are very realistic. You said you were going to post some figure sketches. Those would be real nice to see, along with some life studies.

[TIO_MATT]

I am sick at home... I manage to do this one, today.
A naughty Fairy rescued from my sketchbook threat.;) . Great!

:) Cool Stuff jpg! ;) I really love the characters in blue pencil... all the different poses and attitudes. I have to come visit to draw... I miss JPEG! I will draw characters all day at work now. You have inspired me again :)

Anyways, Say hi to Keltze for me! :)
keep em coming man :)

[TIO_MATT]

Still learning...never..stop...long way though...:(
Came any time...You are always invited to Barcelona.
Drawing session, sun good talks....and old times....I miss u too...:D
I have many blue pencils doodles....This is what I do the most..now..in the tuve..here.....Not time to do finish stuff..anymore..

[DeMoon]

excellent works!

[davi]

love your works, keep it up.

i think the fairy piece could use some touch ups; to me the face isnt being effected enough by the hair's shadow, which makes the hair and the face seem to be on seperate layers, flattening the piece

[TIO_MATT]

:sungod:
Hi.
It has been a long time since last update.Here it is a quick colour study of a lizard head in
Barcelona Zoo.Is amazing how many colours are involve in one single image.
Trying to study the compostion and lighting.
Thanks sketchling for your brushes... :muscle: .They have done a good job tonight....
is about one hour drawing....

http://www.jf-muro.com/2d/imagenes/Lizard_head.jpg

[kollatt]

your texture and lighting is ridiculous. i get really happy seeing these.

[TIO_MATT]

Hi thanks kollatt,
I still practicing lines and proportions in my sketchbook...
I think where you learn the most is drawing every day and no bother about is is a nice drawing or bad...just knowing what is happening...with proportions and light...I guess....
I am still not happy....:[ ...where I am going I have to risk more..
I will post my sketchbook doodles...soon,.:blah:

[thesadpencil]

really fantastic stuff here man. love your use of colors and the style and expressions all your pieces have is insane subscribing to this one for sure man. keep em coming.

[TIO_MATT]

Here is the work in progress step by step....of the study...so people think there is no trick...

Deep Dark Fish.
I dont know why I did this one.....just emotion I guess.
I have post also the Wip to see how I did it....no the best way..... rough and fast....
I still need to do more figure drawing.....shit....Is so hard!:wtf:

http://www.jf-muro.com/2d/imagenes/SKETCH_16_WIP.jpg

[TIO_MATT]

I hope the WIP Explains the process, Lighting and grading of colours where done at then end of the drawing to increase the composition and visual aspect of the Avisal fish concept.
I think the drawing express my feelings this days...ha....ha:sungod:

[julkillo]
