HOT DAMN I AM GOOD

[telophase]

OK, I earned that exclamation. XD



Done-ish. I may figure out more things to do or details to fix, and I am uninspired in the background region, but hey I don't think anyone's going to be looking at it. XD

It might be better if I actually followed the steps in the DVD tutorial in the order I was supposed to, but I have a Thing about authority occasionally. XD

*salivates* That's disturbingly hot. Possibly only because I am very messed up in the head and know almost nothing about the character in question. *g* But yeah, I know what I'm looking at and the background ain't it.

The best part about Matt is that he's in almost none of the manga or the anime of Death Note. He's a minor character who shows up to assist another one and exhibits almost no personality whatsoever, thus leaving acres and acres of imaginative land for the fandom to sink their teeth into.

Yes, Matt is the Boba Fett of Death Note.

Thanks!

*laughs at self*--and I have never heard of him till now and mistook him for someone else! *wry g* But he's sure pretty!

There was this awesome wank about Matt at fandom_secrets a while back where every other day there'd be a secret along the lines of "How can this guy be so popular? He had twelve panels and 5 lines" and on the days in between, the secret would be "I lovbe Matt so much! I love his style and his attitude and think he's really cool"! sometimes with bonus "I truly believe Matt and Mello are meant for each other."

And then on special days, we'd have at least one of each.

It was more entertaining than the current run of Hetalia secrets.

Hee! XD

You know, that's why I kept hearing the name and asking myself "Who the hell is Matt?"

So that's Matt

[amberley.livejournal.com]

I was wondering that too!

What a great picture! The Matt-fans should be all over it at the next con.
It even makes me want to dig out my Death Note to see his twelve panels of fame.

Re: So that's Matt

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Start looking at chapter 80-mumble - he show up to assist Mello in surveillance and kidnapping. XD

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

That's pretty fabulous.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[rurounitriv.livejournal.com]

That is a kickass pic.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's great. Though I also like the B&W version.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

It took uploading for me to notice a few spots here and there that need to be fixed up, like the back of his hand, but oh well. XD

[rilina.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love the hair and goggles.

(And I had to google to find out who Matt is, even though I read Death Note way back when.)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

Matt's inexplicably the most popular character in Death Note, if you go by cosplayers. XD

[batwrangler.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's the goggles? Also, that looks like a fairly easy costume to do. (If he shows up in chapter 80-mumble, that would explain why I have no idea who he is -- I stopped somewhere in the 50s. XD )

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I think it's a factor of three things:

1. Easy as hell to cosplay

2. Almost nothing's known about him, so it's easy to make stuff up

3. Almost the only character Mello shows any emotion toward aside from chocolate-noshing rage.

[oyceter]

Wow, I love the hands! And the eyes behind the goggles! (Although I keep wanting to feed him, like with the Saiyuki boys.)

[hang-nga-79.livejournal.com]

That is a fantastic job!

[chibi-nasu.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just.... wow. I am amazed by the details... especially in that cigarette!

[madame-manga.livejournal.com]

That is SCARY REAL. His cig ash is about to drop on my shoes, and the muzzle of that gun is about two inches from my nose. Wow, the color really does complete this! Fantastic work.

About the only thing I'd have to say is that if you felt inclined to mess with the skin tones, a little more variation in the regions of the face/neck and a differentiation between the tint of the face and the hands might pop him even further into 3-D.

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

oh, very nice. :D!

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

Wow.

Wow.

Just... wow.

[wistfulmemory.livejournal.com]

Wow...this picture rocks. You are an amazing artist. I enjoyed checking out your various WIP posts on this piece, too. It made seeing the end result even better.

HOT

[barbaraa.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected: the black and white was awesome, but this is super awesome. I think I hate you--or love you. Dang!

Bows in respect.

[ninjoo.livejournal.com]

Holy titties, that's awesome! Incredibly awesome! Am stunned!

[urbi-et-orbi.livejournal.com]

AWESOME!!!! My jaw just DROPPED!

[tammylee.livejournal.com]

I'm jealous of his cigarette! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgxltDbSDec)

I can haz new wallpaperz! =D
Srsly, lovely lovely work on this!

I think my favourite part is the goggles. Such depth and the eyes are amazing!

[thistleingrey.livejournal.com]

+1 wow. :) It's fascinating to see how these pictures build up, and I think I said that the last time I commented on one of your pieces--but really, it's amazingly cool, and so is the final product.

[vito-excalibur.livejournal.com]

Thaaat is nice. Did you use photo reference? The knuckles and hands are really good. So is the pose in general, lovely body language.

[herchuckness.livejournal.com]

Man that's awesome. I really liked seeing all the in-progress shots too.

[kulimar.livejournal.com]

Nice work :)

[aquatic-party.livejournal.com]

SEXY, SEXY~!! *does a dance* You did such a marvelous job on his eyes--they're striking, even behind those orangey goggles.

<3

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, that was fast! Nice work.
