ok here are some drawings..

Much more to come when my internet isnt going so slow...

Hey, this is some really nice stuff, although some of the tones are kinda dark and heavy. They could use some really sharp whites in some places. Also, some more accurate anatomy couldn't hurt, but that's in part a stylistic issue. Still, it's important to have a good grasp of anatomy anyway.

Good stuff, I look forward to seeing more.

Hi thanks for your comments paul. Anatomy is a bit dodge in some areas i know. They are a bit dark, my scanner is a bit crap so i upped the contrast in photoshop maybe i got a little carried away

Here are some more

**4rt-r41d** · January 9th, 2006, 03:43 AM

Aye.
These are fantastic!!
just keep it up, all you need is a little more middle tone,
other then that, its looking awsome,

Peace

**seetsy** · January 9th, 2006, 07:09 AM

**seetsy** · January 11th, 2006, 08:19 AM

Here are a few more. I like these ones but theyre a bit weird...

Feel free to crit guys

**Serpian** · January 11th, 2006, 10:39 AM

Wow, great stuff! I really like the darker tones, something I don't seem to accomplish myself.. Or dare to try... I like your faces, dynamic pics, they've got a vibrant sense of life. More, now!

**seetsy** · January 11th, 2006, 08:03 PM

Hey dude thanks for the reply. If u want to get dark tones u have to build up in layers dont just try and press realy hard with ur pencil cos itll end up flat. Keep in mind ive adjusted the levels in these pics though. Thanks

gmags, ghopper, nuclear thanks for ur comments dudes. Thanks for stopping by.

**katsgod** · January 13th, 2006, 09:31 AM

You have some really cool looking stuff here Seets.

**MrBobMarley** · January 13th, 2006, 08:21 PM

Dude, your stuff is awesome. Nice to not see the same things over and over.

**alenacat** · January 13th, 2006, 08:24 PM

I like the way you mesh things together. Have you ever thought of going beyond the borders of the page rather than being constricted by it. Your drawings seem to grow organically

**coldrum** · April 3rd, 2008, 01:43 AM

Hey Matt, great SB here.. like the way you use the space : D

**fragmentedchimp** · April 3rd, 2008, 01:58 AM

some good stuff, nice appropriation of black ink with pencils.
dont normally see this stuff (if that is in fact what it is, not just dark dark scanner jazz.)

color?

**seetsy** · July 21st, 2008, 06:38 AM

So after a long long absence from this sketchbook ive decided to revive it. Reboot!

Im guessing there will be pretty irregular updates, but hopefully i can post more often than i did before..
To start here is a character i was working on last week

**coldrum** · July 21st, 2008, 07:50 PM

Hey Matt, nice char dude... and some great concept ideas. You may notice he seems a little stiff and unbalanced in his pose. I would recommend giving him a stronger prouder pose by arching his back slightly, extending his right arm out more so that the base of the weapon is further out from his feet... extend his chest out a bit just to give him some interesting lines and shape.

At the moment he has the body language of someone who has been startled or surprised. If you cant see what I mean, try scrolling the page up to hide his head.. this should make it a bit clearer. His legs are very straight like logs. The perspective is very flat and his head may be just a little too small... not by much though.

I love the lighting on the chest plate... cant wait to see how he turns out if you carry through with this style of rendering. Hope this is helpful... its only my personal opinion so take it as you see fit

Looking forward to some updates!!

**seetsy** · July 22nd, 2008, 06:38 AM

Hey Jez man, thanks heaps for the comments! Some great advice, its not often you get such detailed crits on a piece.

Ill take this on and try and fix this one up sometime soon. I was gonna call it done but now i might fix it up and add some colour

anyways heres some more stuff. The girl is from a ref

**Pixie Bergman** · July 22nd, 2008, 07:20 PM

Hey man this is good work! You have got so much more stuff that u should put on here. Lunch sketches? Weekend drawings? C'mon!

Keep drawing, keep posting!

**remmy** · July 22nd, 2008, 11:44 PM

Sup seets you have got a sweet sketchbook here man. Love your work its got some great potential. You really like clowns too hu... Thanks for dropping by my sketchbook, its good that you've revived yours. Your digital stuff is sweet as well my only crit is your UNDONE char he has the biggest gap between his legs ha ha. Keep posting man cause I'll be back!

**Gadbury** · August 1st, 2008, 01:09 AM

Thanks for stopping by my SB, and for the comment

I like the way your pages flow with drawings, like someone already said, a great use of space, every one holds my attention! I havn't any crits really I'm afraid. I'd like to see more of your work though, its refreshing to see work like this. keep updating

**seetsy** · August 28th, 2008, 03:29 AM

mr gradbury: cheers thanks for stopping by mine

remmy: thanks man, yea the gap is pretty big now u mention, thanks for the tip.. and clowns rock my world :/
