Speedpaint and Studies

Some speedpaint concepts Ive done using the Barontieri brushes, and a tutorial by Vyle.
Interesting way to work.
Very inspiring and definately helps through the generation of abstract shapes.







A speedpainting I did of Wild Bill from 'Deadwood'. About 20mins:

Today a new project was announced - an animated MTG series coming to Netflix and Bardel will be working on it. I started playing magic at the beginning of high school, when I saw some kids playing in the library. I fell for the art, and grew to love the complex, elegant and ever evolving puzzle that magic is.  Revised (3rd Edition) was still on shelves back then, and I remember collecting the awesome painted comics for sets like Ice Age. I still have them stored away.  While I stopped playing for various periods I have always come back to MTG. I've played several of the apps and games they released... but it was when I learned about EDH and WOTC began releasing the Commander precons that I got back into tabletop magic. Now I'm all in all over again. For all those intervening years, while I put away my hobbies to focus on my craft and career, it remained a goal to come full circle and create some art for the game that has given me so much. Needless to say this project is a very exciting announcement for me :) - - - - - - - - - - #mattyrodgers #cavematty #mtg #magicthegathering #wotc #bucketlist #animation #bardelvibes
Throwback Thursday to another matte painting from 'The Adventures of Puss in Boots". This was the newly aquired residence of a rowdy ogre. While doing his best to act the part of a noble, he was constantly battling with his base nature, which involved the urge to smash and eat every guest. A fun episode and a fun painting. Art directed by @ushio18. - - - - - - - - - - #mattyrodgers #cavematty #throwbackthursday #tbt #animation #netflix #dreamworks #mattepainting #spooky #ominous #architecture #art #artistoninstagram #illustration
"Hi, I'm Lesanyev, a slim albino Triton and level 3 grave cleric. I enjoy long walks along the ocean floor, laying the undead to rest once more, and extended pontifications on the importance of balance. If you think you're a match get in touch with Titiana at the Ravenhatch Tavern in Silvercrest". - - - - - - - - - - #mattyrodgers #cavematty #art #artistoninstagram #dnd #d&d #dungeons&dragons #dungeonsanddragons #oc #mermay #mermay2019 #merman #mermaid #workfam #squad
What if The Dragon Prince was a space opera, and Callum was a star wizard?  May the fourth be with you everyone!
