In a few days, it is going to be a relatively normal day...for most.Β But not for you.Β For on that day...it will be a good day to revel in the moment that you were cast down upon this Earth, summoned and placed here by the mighty Odin to share your talents and your creativity with all.Β Let thee rejoice and enjoy this time, and know you are wished a Happy Birthday!Β May many more follow!
Also, Odin sends cake, blessed by King Kong and delivered by Godzilla!

A few days from today, the history books show an entry.Β An entry of mystery, and portent, as the great powers came down upon the Earth, and, in accordance with the wishes of the mighty King Kong, granted the world a boon.Β That boon was you.Β And lo, let it be said to all that you are to be wished a Happy Birthday upon that day, with the most excellent and amazing of cakes to partake in!

History records that, just days from now, a tremendous upheaval took place as the ground cracked and broke apart, tornadoes spun counter to their nature, and even Godzilla bowed as you appeared upon the Earth to grace us with your art. And so it is wished upon you to have a Happy Birthday on that day....and a most excellent cake. Β

In a short time hence, may you have a most happy birthday, for that is the day that you descended upon the Earth in a shower of lightening! Β Also, have delicious that day!

Lili

Thanks for the kind words Lili. What have you written before? Do you have any samples? I'm pretty full up with projects at this time but I am always willing to take a look.

Well, I did guest-art at a Marvelfancomicproject
[link]
and i'm planning a comic with my "infamous" metalsheep. But i'm still to hesistant to write a script, because i'm just too 'green' and a bit insecure with my skills. (some work is in my gallery)
btw is your comicbook already available?

Issue #1 of my comic, Mythica is available to read online right now. Issue #2 has begun and new pages come out every Monday. Here is the link directly to the first issue. [link]
Keep pushing the boulder up the hill as far as the writing goes. It will all come together perfectly.

Matt,
I commissioned you at the NOLA Comic-con. The deadpool saints piece. I just want to say again just how awesome your work is on that piece. You knew what I was asking for better than I did. It is now framed and hanging in a place of honour in my home. I have a few very envious friends that say they are looking forward to having you do work for them next year. I am too. Thanks again. Steve

Thanks for the kind words Steve. That was a fun sketch to do. I love the New Orleans show! The people are awesome, the food is awesome!Always have a great time. I am definitely planning on being there at the next one.
By the way. I don't know if you are on fb or not but I check and update my fan page everday where as I don't update here quite as often. Sssshh.

So, I went ahead and read Mythica. Things I liked: the setting (that odd combination of WWI and occult forces), use of Jungian Motifs, and the general feel of a Pulp Novel or a Two-fisted Tale that your story had a good amount of.
Things I cared not so much for: the phonetic scottish accents could have been toned down a little bit, and the big no scene (possibly because of Star Wars, I find those scenes to be more laughable than tragic, which is how it should feel.)
All in all, the good far outweighed the bad, to my mind anyway. I wish you best of luck in presenting Mythica

Thank you very much for the feedback. We have already toned down the Scottish accents a bit. Also, thank you for being kind enough to check it out even though I apparently wasn't supposed to be posting there. I'm actually quite aggravated with the other responses i received. I'm constantly being reminded of why i come to this site less and less. I get lip from some kid in school (LegendarySuperman) giving me facepalms. Being that i am a professional artist, I find that a really annoying waste of my time. Then one of the moderators blocks out the thread and just tells me to use my journal. Wait, are you telling me there is not a single thread for posting about Independent projects, or self promotion or anything? What kind of art site its this?
I'm sorry to have vented that out on you. You don't deserve it. You were helpful and polite and even took the time to read my comic. I am thankful and will remember that. If there are ever any conventions that i am doing in your area look me up and i will give you a free print. In fact if you don't know of one feel free to browse my art and i will send you a print in the mail, free of charge. However you might want to keep tabs on my website or other sites because i am just about done with DA.

it's okay, I've had a lot of the same frustration (this is my second account, I left a couple of years ago for about the same reasons, and just recently came back.)
Have you tried ConceptArt? [link]
π: 0 β©: 1
I used to frequent there a lot when I was doing concept work. I think I'll be checking it out as soon as i get back from Image Comics Expo this weekend.
