Another quicky…. breaking apart the body one piece at a time, maybe I’ll combine them all at the end to make a monster.
Man it was tough to find reference for this one.
After the inorganic battleground, I thought a fist pounding the ground made sense.
I do hear it’s possible but it sure felt impossible making really mechanical type creations. I learnt some neat things with more complicated masking via ‘poly groups’ but the workflow seems counter intuitive. Intuitive workflows for me allow me to go back and forth without making unchangeable updates. Matter of fact, these damned things caused some frustration…..
(I don’t know why posted that, it looks like a red face, actually that’s my face when I worked on some different workflows)
(it’s an organic approach to something hard-bodied….)
And finally! Some cool editing techniques, which are impossible to edit. wow….
Now we’re not talking about any super big updates. I thought I’d try a different presentation, smooth her out and just call it quits for now. It was an exercise in staging and pulling different pieces together. I think I did ok in that – moving on!
Yep, had time for two today…. this one bit off more than I could chew. I will return to her later, wake her up with proper smoothing and muscles, fat etc.
The HAND STAND. There’s already been some personal requests for different views. It’s not like I actually drew it right hahaha:
A quick study, despite the lack of anatomy study (coming next) I was pretty happy with the random pose that came about. I think balance really helps it.
Hey everyone!
I’m teaching web marketing at VCAD (vancouver college of art and design), amongst other business dev and photoshop and I’m just linking to a couple students websites to share my ranking star power. I’ll probably delete this once they index themselves! Woohoo! The assignment is about SEO and making websites appear on google when searching for ” The Greatest Living Vancouverite “. It’s a race to # 1! (hope I don’t wax them with this post 😉 hahaha!
The Greatest Living Vancouverite
Yep it’s a little humbling looking at Zhu’s video tutorial service: http://www.youtube.com/user/FZDSCHOOL
Thanks man!!! I believe the school’s located in Singapore.
Hey Everyone!
I recorded a whopping 1:25 hours of 100% commentaried Matt Vogt Painting Process. I would like to do these more and more. Yesterday night is when this took place. Now please note what you’ll witness is an artist warming up from a day or two painting break. It’s like training a muscle (not speaking from experience) but we achieved some interesting results despite staring art making doom directly in the face. Yes.
This is the part of the video that was intentionally depicted to show how an artist can get his butt kicked by his own work:
(it was getting shaky in there) And this?
The result:
[flashvideo file=”http://mattvogt.com/media/CrowSeparation.flv” /]Topics include:
- Composition
- Color Picking
- ‘Sweet Tweaks’ to keep the flow going and never give up (seen middle image?)
- Using layer adjustments to our advantage
- A layered, yet committed (backward) approach
Just plugging a friend/fellow designer I made a website for. Check him out! Thanks!
The art of small business is a creative medium. Lets all work together!
Work in progress baby yeah!
Still much to do! Especially around the rear, tuggin’ guy and that “ship” (wreckage…). It’s starting to look like an Adobe commercial with all the blending colors and sweeping background lines – oh oh.

Rooting up the past again, this was around 2004-2005 in which friend, Isaac Mulgrew and I co-created the seed of an episodic comedy series titled Heroes. Two heroes, one a roided rage and the other a genius Telekinestor.
*Warning* It’s never past the “animatic stage” meaning there will be missing audio, storyboards appearing instead of footage, and the all time production’s favorite – changing to temporary character builds….
This was to be the first of many episodes, the first glimpse of our living characters and their routines. Looking back it’s super cliché but that’s what made us laugh. Enjoy!
Made by our team of independent learners, aka Twisted CG, under Bill Henderson – 2005
I co-contributed character animation excellence along side Isaac Mulgrew.
We even had an original score composed for it too! Ah – the golden years!
Completed a little promo-project for Gateways Learning Centre. I will be offering 3D Animation with Blender 2.5 come August! Sign up your kids mom, or “hey you” – tell your mom you want to get cool and smart this summer!
To support my artistic endevours please donate your creative production needs to Vogt Visuals = “Your Wish, Our Design” !
I’ve been working independently for a couple months now and things are positively picking up! I decided to create the brand and go big! The variety of clients, businesses, subject matter and challenges provides the stimulus, and financial fruits kids go for.
Please check out the rapidly expanding portfolio and tell all your friends!
Love,
Matt
A long time friend always had an eye for this piece – it’ll be his now!
