wooowww... awesome work man... the colors and mood... congrats...

[gu]

Yes, definetely it deserves a choice award for many reasons. I´ll be rational to tell these reasons in topics:

- the work is very well done technically
- nice choice of colors that results in a fantastic and interesting mood
- the care on the details are so fine
- clever shot to make the giant bigger than he is
- you can tell us a great story on this image

congratulations, we´re waiting for more of your work.

I saw this in Spectrum 12 and Expose and thought it was terrific! It's a beautiful illustration with a lovely mood and bautiful detailing...

And i've just been looking through your site and had a really enjoyable half an hour! There's some incredible stuff on there, particularly the more fantastical stuff along similar lines to this piece! I Love it!! Bookmarked!!

:)

[Garde]

Very nice and personal style, man! :applause:

It certainly shows that you've been developing your style/technique for a while. Fun and imaginative painting. If this story is gonna become a childrens book some day, can't wait to see it.

Also checked your website, lot's of good stuff there as well.

[Romero]

[LSaurel]

really good work.

[kerg]

I have the feeling to see something new... A new "style" of imaginary, and a really, really beautiful, way to show it to us. but this time, i am not more impressed by the technics than by the ideas... Each picture is incredible.
OK, 5 minutes that i'm thinking to write something descripting rightly how much i love your work. Didn't find anything...
Congratulations, and thanks !

[duddlebug]

hey Matt... That sounds like a reeeeeeeeally interesting idea...........

[Villane]

Really like what you've done here as I find it quite a thought provoking image. It would be interesting to see any development sketches etc to see how you came to the final composition, I often find these sketches far more interesting than a'finished' piece. As said though it's a super painting.

Excellent! Your images are like windows into another world, I love the consistancy and diversity and depth in the worldbuilding. Can you share some of the story with us? Is this going to be a book? Who/what are your influences?

This painting is from a story I've been developing. To my suprize it was awared the silver award in Spectrum 12 and the Master award in Expose 3.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm selling 11 by 17 prints of this image for $25.00 if you are interested?

[Stejahen]

I'm interested, where can I buy them?

Also, is this part of some larger story (along with Gorga's concern, etc)?

Hey Stejahen,

I've been selling the prints through myself. Each print is numbered and packaged flat not rolled on Archival Watercolor Paper. To my suprise there's been a lot people who have shown interest in my prints lately. The way it works is simple, just send a money order to the address below and I will send a print to you right away:)

11 by 17_$25.00

Please remember to give me your address when you mail the Money Order. Turn around time is generally one week depending or not if I'm mailing the print over sea's.

To answer your question Garga's Concern is linked to a story connected to the Gluba Vanerhon The Giant. They are in the same universe.

Thank you for your interest in my work!

Matt

Fantastic!
My personal congratulations ;)

[KINGWXP]

i like your work

[Gaffer]

The only way I could love this piece more is if I had done it myself. This is right up my alley. I checked out your site as well - very fun stuff. Great lighting and color. The sketches are great as well - I love the line work. Were the sketches and doodles done in photoshop as well?

[KevGater]

Awesome and most inspirational, it takes me back to how I used to view fantastical artwork in books I read as a child, like 'Where the Wild Things Are'.

The image you have produced is so rich in narrative, it stretches the imagination beyond usual boundaries.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

[zhegesha]

wow,great!!!

Amazing style! very coool! Congratulations.
