Mtankart

[Mtank]

Hey. It's been a long time since I was last on WB. (More than six months, I think.) I've done very little graphics work in that time, but more pencil sketching. I've also just taken up oil painting, and thats going ok. I've moved out of simple fanart and gone onto doing stuff that's more, I would think, meaningful. (Although many still think it's simple depiction of comic book/video game scenes or characters, which is sad, to say the least.)

I was idle this night and thought I would post a bit of my work here. Perhaps as i do more, I'll post that too. And I'm thinking of re-starting the graphic design stuff. Maybe I'll jump start my one year old plan of getting a tablet so I can do some digital art. Maybe.

Anyway, Here are four pieces. All have been photoshopped slightly. In time, I'm thinking of digitally colouring them.

I like 'em all, but the 1st one really shines. It's great. I'd advise you not to colour it, the black 'n white suits it fine.

You've always been a great drawer, Mtankha ;)
I'm liking this new work of yours - you've definitely improved. Good job in the shading in number one. You win :D

I feel, though, that you need to work on your grasp of perspective. It looks off, especially in the first ones. Also, your drawings are just fine al natural. Don't screw them up with the old duplicate-layer-brush-screen trick. It just demerits them:P

Stick around, though!
If you decide to move back in (and I know you will >_> ) drop me a PM. I might have something interesting for you ;)

[Mtank]

"Something interesting for me"? That sounds cryptic. And strange.

Anyway, here are two more I forgot to post. The naga you might have seen before. It took me ages to digitally colour it in Photoshop, not something I want to try again without a tablet.

I like the first four, personally. The first one, in particular, I find has a very... dark and longing feel to it, but also seems to reflect on the mental state of the man and him setting a table for the corpse. The background, while simple, also looks to have some Hellenic influence in the architecture. My only real complaint is the man seems a bit long.

The next two pieces are ones I really can't go too in depth in, cus I honestly don't quite understand the 3rd one and the second one is cryptic to me. Blame my lack of artistic vision, but I can clearly see you have a very good talent.

I like the fourth one a lot, though. It looks like two characters from God of War in a boxing/wrestling arena, that's mainly why. Sorry if I'm missing some deeper meaning; evaluating art, as I said earlier, isn't really something I'm good at.

The Naga picture, however, is just beautiful. I like the coloring you did, gives it more personality. And I just like Naga. It's pretty, it's awesome... what's not to like?

[Zeltaris]

Mtank, the Naga is just beautiful - I'm speechless.

And no, "something interesting" is NOT synonymous with "something kinky" or "surprise buttsecks" or anything strange of the sort :P
It means project, foo :D. That's as much as I can say for now :O

MTank! You're back! W00rt.

Hm... The pictures are good, but pretty dark. Love the Naga one. That, is a true masterpiece. Seriously, it looks really good!

[Mtank]

It means project, foo :D. That's as much as I can say for now :O

I would gladly receive a paisa for every 'secret graphics project' that I've seen created over the years. Strangely, people get kicks out of keeping it secret. Like a spy game. What's there to hide? Why the secrecy? Was it Ms Scarlet in the ballroom with the candlestick?

[Battlecruiser]

Truly amazing. You've got real talent. Keep it up man and keep posting whatever you make.

[The_Maker]

Wow, that Naga one is made of awesome and pwn. D:

[Black.Ice]

Mtank! You're back!


Man, you're art is simply amazing. I liked all of them, like usual, and being an artist I can't really add anything more meaningful then than. Hope you stick around man.

[Atillawurm]

Dude love the art, glad to see you back man.
