Spidery Hell

Did this one for this month's Gnomon Workshop Forum's Monthly Image Challenge "Dante's Inferno" in honour of Wayne Barlowe. Heavily referenced from Beksinski, and with generous help from Ben Mauro (you da man Benny boy!). Hope you like it - tis a bit out of character for me but was heaps of fun. Though my partner Jo didn't like me working on it one bit :P

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!
