the girls are looking awesome as ever, and thoes are a big improvement to the last environments Ive seen of yours, esp. the color ones

**Ustabiaz** · December 30th, 2004, 05:03 PM

I must say that your work is absolutely stunning.

I study architecture myself and it has been a long time since I haven't seen something that genuinely creative. Your knowledge of space and structures is truly impressive.

I still miss however more contrasts in your drawings...

Please keep posting.

**mos667** · December 30th, 2004, 05:45 PM

Amazing perspective on those landscape thumbnails. Your style with people is amazing also, I absolutely adore your capture of human emotion. Very good work on everything.

Keep postin'

**alex_86** · December 30th, 2004, 08:52 PM

Mmmmm yum yum, I'm a big fan of this simplistic method and use it as well wheenever i can. GIRLS WITH BIG HATS! MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! That's my next theme anyways.

My favorite was the bottom of image 6. The top of image 50 reminds me of Outland.

Tah Tah , myeees!

Wow and hes from calgary

Join the club.

**Eytan** · December 31st, 2004, 01:24 AM

wow these are great! i really love your characters and your environments. Do you make up all these thumbnails or do you kind of get inspired by looking around at actuall places and landscapes?

You're really awesome, keep up the good stuff!

**thirdeye** · December 31st, 2004, 02:28 AM

Amazing stuff man, great style, cool designs

Thanks for sharing.

**ChromaticCodex** · December 31st, 2004, 02:36 AM

Not only can you draw, but your style and concepts are amazing. I usually go out of my way to offer some crits, but all i've got to say is that your awesome!

**Bishop Six** · December 31st, 2004, 03:12 AM

Excellent stuff, Isric. There's so much stuff to comment on. As always, your characters are just great, but it's nice to see some environments from you. They are really top-notch as well. I think that walrus might just be the coolest character ever. Did you make him up? Will we see more of him?

-Luke

**Steph** · December 31st, 2004, 04:28 AM

hello, i must tell you that i am absolutly inspired by your sketches.
so much variety is admirable. i really cant critique anything i see here now, sorry. I can only watch and learn from you.

However, it might be a bit off-topic, but i think your website is hard to navigate and there are a few bad links. Ill leave it at that for now, unless you want my website critics and suggestions, i'd be glad to give them to you...

anyways, keep on posting, this is one thread im definatly watching out for!

**Inkfish** · December 31st, 2004, 05:55 AM

I really like theese drawings! Love the demons and Wizard of Oz stuff.

**MuffinMan** · January 1st, 2005, 10:39 PM

holy shit!
these are nice! very cleanly drawn!
everytime i scan my drawings they always look crummy and speckly.
i want to see more!

**cateaic** · January 2nd, 2005, 03:50 AM

Its always a pleasure to see youre sketches...great facial expressions!! Youre line work is sweet. And congrats on the new site, i'll go check that out now...

**southerncomfort** · January 2nd, 2005, 02:15 PM

You are power!! I love you man!!
Keep it going, I am your fan!!

**egerie** · January 3rd, 2005, 09:08 AM

It's always nice to see your evolution Isric. Kudos to you and bro for the website

**Fipse** · January 3rd, 2005, 09:24 AM

Hi Isric

Just wanted to step by and say how immensly I enjoyed this thread. Beyond the good ideas for your characters and the different environments I personally like most the variety of expression you get into your faces. They really inspired me to work more in this direction.

Very nice work and keep on posting

Fipse

**bRyaN** · January 3rd, 2005, 10:03 AM

Matt, good stuff bro...

So much range,, it's ridiculous...
Keep us updated...

**Xaya** · January 3rd, 2005, 10:26 AM

Love your characters, those interactions inbetween, the expressions...
and the typical style of the faces.

Although i see some eraser work in some of the sketches, i am happy to see this, the cleaness is awesome.

and the enviromental stuff

I think i can´t critizise anything for good reason...
well i don´t know if you just show sketches or if you a not focusing coloring yet... if not this would be the next step...

MORE please!

**MrKL** · January 3rd, 2005, 08:33 PM

Matt you are something. The characters are amazing and then you throw in that simple bunny on page 9 (?)

The Oz stuff feels the way I would imagine Phillip Pullman's "Dark Materials" series to look...

Congrats on the site. It's so swamped I haven't had the chance to check it out yet.

**Interceptor** · January 4th, 2005, 01:38 PM

So one of my top 5 favorite artists now, lol. Uber inspiring

**AmishCommy** · January 4th, 2005, 01:55 PM

hot

sooo much character.

**Needlelhead Puppet** · January 4th, 2005, 02:29 PM

Hey Isric, your style rules man..it rules. Can you give a little workshop at making your kind of cool Characters. Some WIP Pics? That would be great!

**remedial** · January 4th, 2005, 02:39 PM

Isric, i really dig your work. Your style is superb and definately unique- and i love your Oz stuff ...i just watched it paired up with Dark Side of the Moon for like the third time

so they caught my eye.

**Isric** · January 4th, 2005, 06:15 PM

Hunger Artist - thanks man, glad to hear you think these are improving.

Ustabiaz - wow, that's an amazing compliment. thank you very much

most667 - thanks man

meDrawUC - thanks. are you in calgary?

Quick Sketch - sometimes I just make them up, but often i'll flip through classic architecture stuff for inspiration

thirdeye - danka!

Chromatic Codex - appreciated, thank you

Bishop Six - haha, thanks man. and yeah, the walrus is all mine (as far as I know). he came out because of too little sleep.

Steph - the feedback on the website is appreciated. I'll keep that in mind as we make changes.

Inkfish - merci!

Muffinman - hopefully you'll get more

cataeic - thanks!

southerncomfort - you are as kind to me as your namesake is unkind to my throat.

egerie - thanks man, i appreciate that. it's good to hear you haven't been running in circles

Fipse - wow, that's awesome. thanks a ton

bryan - thanks, and I'll definitely try

Xaya - yeah, i bought an electric eraser that i use on my graphite stuff. it's really fun to use. as far as color stuff goes, i'd love to post some, but whenever I do color it's always for work, and I can't show any of that stuff. thanks for the comments though

MrKL - sweet, thanks a lot

Interceptor - wow, that's amazing. thanks for saying so

AmishCommy - cool, thanks

NeedleHeadPuppet - oooh, workshop eh? I don't know. at the moment I don't know what I could say, as I'm still trying to figure all of this out. Maybe after graduation i'll have things sorted out more and will be able to. In the meantime my advice would be: don't be afraid of who people are. stereotype people, learn to read them, put them in boxes and categories, and you'll find they suprise you and teach you a lot about expression...i don't, uh....know if that helps....

remedial - oh awesome, i should do that too. thanks

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

now, here are a few more pages since the last upload

**Gaussian3d** · January 4th, 2005, 06:46 PM

cool stuff.... very disney-ish!

**SeraphSword** · January 4th, 2005, 08:58 PM

Great stuff as always man. Question: the blue drawings, are those ballpoint or just blue lead?

**Shatterdome** · January 4th, 2005, 11:43 PM

Very cool, the pics near the top, mostly the busts have a real disney feel to them...nice sketches man...

**Aly Fell** · January 5th, 2005, 04:06 AM

Wow! As per usual! Your drawing blows me away... metaphorically of course! What a superb understanding of foreshortening you have!
