some cool stuff man. good poses/gestures. nice linework. i LOVE the fact that it's all messy. great stuff. i take it the first piece is fan art of that shadow of the colossus game? looks pretty cool. the only thing bothering me is the light coming out of his eyes. that tracer effect should only happen in the dark. you know? like when the cops shine thier flashlights in your face and it's all bright and blurry? not so effective during the day unless you stare right at it. the creature in the second piece looks like it's off to the guys side instead of right in front of him because you don't have it overlapping him, which would give the illusion that that thing is between the viewer and the guy. the other stuff looks pretty tight. you've got some great anatomy so far. i'd love to see some figure drawings. got any?

I don't know which is my favorite, they all look so cool. I'd have to agree with the above post about the eyes. To me they look electronic and not from something organic or like some golem or something. Then again maybe he's metallic? Though he doesn't look that way. but anyways, I like what you have so far. Look forward to some updates.

Nice start dude, keep filling it up. I didn't catch you at Canvas last week, so I guess I'll have to take a raincheck on that beer.

Hey, thanks strangealchemist.. I dont know what you look like man! I owe you a beer. Whatd you think of the show? I've seen most of it before.. but I thought all in all it was decent. When I get my studio fixed up you should come by, let me know when your free.

Peace,
Matt

Wow, your art is amazing! I have to say though, the picture in ur first post with the giant blue balloon dude where it is spitting blood everywhere is very uniqe and interesting, I like it.
