Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 04-12-2013
Hey Daggers! I posted in here and a few other forums a while back but regrettably stopped posting. Gonna try and get back into the habit of getting involved in the community again! <3
Anyways, heres a few things i've done in the last couple months!
RE: Matts Daggerbook - mindwrack - 04-13-2013

RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 04-14-2013
Minwrack: Thanks! More to come sooon! :D
Heres a 2 hour master study I did yesterday. Gotta do more of these for sure.
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 04-21-2013
Here are two master studies I did yesterday, the enviro is a 1 hour study and the painting of the guy is 2 hours. Below that are two longer life drawings I've finished up this month. More comin soon :D
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 05-06-2013
Hey daggers! Heres some things I've been working on in the last couple weeks. I also tried out some charcoal pencil. I highly reccomend giving it a try, I learned a ton from it! More soon!
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 05-23-2013
Here are a few new things, still trying to learn how to do portraits and charcoal!
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 05-24-2013
Here are some sketchbook pages of character designs. I've been trying to make a habit of carrying this tiny sketchbook around with me everywhere. Also here's a quick portrait study I did just now before going off to do some life drawing
RE: Matts Daggerbook - Dana - 05-24-2013
Wow great sketches/studies!
RE: Matts Daggerbook - MonoOrder - 05-25-2013
I'm digging the sketchbook pages as well as the all the traditional work you have. You've got a nice mixture of blending and crosshatching for the portraits.
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 05-30-2013
Thanks MonoOrder and Dana :D !!
Here are some more studies and things i`ve done recently, again mostly portraits!

Hey daggers! Here is some recent stuff! Mostly sketches and studies this time. More soon!
RE: Matts Daggerbook - Tygerson - 06-18-2013
A lot of great work here! I really like the rough looking adventurer with the owl. I get the feeling it's him and that bird against the world.
Great mood in the last image with the wanderers, too.
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 06-19-2013
Thank you Tygerson!!! :)

Alright, not much for today. Got some sketches, some ear/proko studies and some more 5 min figures. Also got a really great crit from Dan Warren on that forest hunter guy, gonna put that to use and give that design another shot.
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 06-20-2013
Hey everyoneee, so heres a few theings I did today, besides that character, just posting the last few changes I made before I got the crit on it. I'm going to restart that design.
Other than that its just some more 5 min figures, some costume studies and a 1 hour warmup for now. More soon!
RE: Matts Daggerbook - OtherMuzz - 06-20-2013
Oh damn, so much improvement in a short time. This is great. Consider me a frequent viewer if you keep this up!
I usually try and find something to comment on constructively, but you seem to be moving leaps and bounds under your own power :O.
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 06-21-2013
Thanks for the encouraging words Muzz. I'm definitely gonna try and keep up this level of productivity :)

So small update for today , here are a few life drawings, some sketches and a couple more figures. I also attempted to kinda apply muscle studies directly to anatomy with the legs, I don't think it was that successful. Anybody have tips on kinda synergizing anatomy and figure studies?
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 06-22-2013
Really small update today unfortunately :( making progress with redesigning that character tho, baby steps. More soon!
RE: Matts Daggerbook - matt_radway - 06-23-2013
Kindof a shitty day for drawing today :( Oh well. Today I tried to do some 'corss training' with anatomy again, using a Hampton book , some nude model photos and some anatomy plates. Seemed to work fairly well, need to do alot more to know for sure.
RE: Matts Daggerbook - sker2 - 06-23-2013

RE: Matts Daggerbook - Damien Levs - 06-23-2013
Hi,
Really love your work. You have some sick rendering skills. Your very first image in your first post reminds me a lot of Sir Daniel Fortesque from the MediEvil games. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
How long have you been at this for?
