Irasshaimase! This page is dedicated to art - mostly anime-style,
but there are some excellent examples of other techniques as well(not
drawn by me, you'll notice).
Please enjoy, and remember: Steal this art without crediting the
artist, and you get to be - intimate - with
several well-known anime sadists.
I know a LOT of them.
My Art
Rei-sama
Sketch in Pencil See? I HAVE improved a lot since
I drew this picture - since I've drawn a lot of these pictures, actually.
Anyway, this is just a very nice sketch
of Ayanami Rei-sama from Evangelion, from the shoulders up in some sort
of kimono-type thing.
Don't ask me, I only drew it.
Torako
One of the few ink sketches I've ever drawn; I did it at camp for a newspaper
sort of thing. BTW, it's supposed to be a
girl, but it's hard to tell.
Faceless Couple Kind of a rough pencil sketch that I drew in math class one day. I'm still proud of the wings.
Genki
Goth! ^-^V This is a design for a character I created named
Shiko, who is(as implied by the name) a cheerful Goth. Yeah,
I know it sounds weird, but in context
it's REALLY cool. One day I'll finish writing that story…
Mieru
One of my first attempts at drawing an entire person, and not the best.
Part of it's that I never could figure out what to do
with her mouth, and the face is just
not good… Ah, well, everyone has their off days. At least her
kimono is still pretty cool.
Miya
The name is rather random, but I LOVE this pic. I was sort of trying
to draw Rei-sama, but I like it better this way. It's
all cool and stuff… yeah…
Girl
with No Shoulder Blades Heh - the profile came out okay
for once, but I had no idea how to shade the back, so - I didn't.
Silly me.
Profile
Practice I'm usually very bad at profile, but here it looked
pretty decent until I started drawing the neck and back of the
head. *sigh* And no, I
don't know the gender of this person. There was a pic of Kamui I
had in mind when I was drawing it, but it
could just as easily be male or female.
Subaru
Sketch I used to be incredibly proud of this picture, and
now - I'm not. It's still better than some of the art that I attempt,
but it isn't the best anymore.
I copied it out of my Tokyo Babylon manga(volume 5, if you're curious).
Shalohim
Another character from the Genki Goth story… I wuv him to pieces, he's
such an adorable little angst puppy! (Just like
Kamui, no da.) This is probably
my overall absolute best picture I've done, other than maybe that pic of
Sephy in a tux. Oh, and a note -
it scanned in kind of funny...
^-^;;; As Ryuujin-san rather poetically put it, "It looks like a
mirror image in a pond on a slightly breezy day."
Rurou
Kaosu This is a sketch for one of
Ryuujin's characters for an episodic RP created by another friend.
It turned out pretty well, I
think. BTW, that black butterfly
on his neck is supposed to be a tattoo... ^-^;;;
Shanshalya
A sketch for my character from the aforementioned RP; she happens to be
a bird-human mix. I was going to make this a
full-body sketch, but I couldn't get
it proportioned right so I just scanned in her head. It's partially
in color, because Shanshalya is part crane
and I wanted to make sure everyone
could tell.
And, just in case you were wondering why I never draw anything in full color:
Semi-San
>.< Not only does it not really LOOK anything like San(at least
according to Chiiru-chan, who would know), but the
coloring is atrocious. San may
not be a vampire, but he isn't a sun-worshipper, either… This is
how everything I try to color goes(not to
mention the fact I usually forget
I'm planning to color something, so I go ahead and shade it in pencil…
>.<).
Art by Matt Meczynski
A collection of some of Matt's best artwork, as scanned in by yours truly. ^-^v Please tell me I'm spelling that last name right…
Archer Guy A cool pencil sketch of an archer.
Bald Guy This is just some random, annoyed-seeming bald guy. Still excellent artwork.
Cool Profile Pic Oh, but I would kill for this much ability to draw… Whoever the guy in this pic is, I LIKE him. *drools*
DBZ-Style
Guy This may be an actual DBZ character(he looks really
familiar), but I'm not sure who. Ah, well, it's a great pic
anyway.
Elf
and Sword For some reason the art in this one doesn't appeal
to me as much as in some of the other pics, but it's still good
and the coloring is definitely cool.
Eyepatch A very cool and realistic picture of some guy with an eyepatch. Worth a closer look or six.
Forest Scene Just some guy walking through a forest - excellent shading on the trees.
Girl
in a Sweatshirt Ooh… pretty… Absolutely WONDERFUL
pic, though for some reason the girl reminds me of Beiria
from Irritability. Not that
that's a bad thing…
SSJ
Goku and Guys I don't know who the other people in the
pic are, but the focus and best artwork is clearly the picture of
Super-Saiyan Goku in the middle.
Wow…
Group
of Demons No, really, I'm not an evil blood-drinking Satan-worshipper…
^-^;;; It's just a really good pic of some demons,
honest. Now go away, I have
to sacrifice - uh - slaughter some chickens.
Sketch
in Ink A sadly unfinished but very nice picture of a guy
drawn in ink. I don't dare use ink, because you can't erase it, so
kudos to Matt and everyone else who
does.
Ladder Fight Looks a lot like something out of Marathon, doesn't it? Especially that fusion pistol the guy's carrying…
Mamoru
Sketches That's right, you heard me - these are a couple
pictures of Mamoru(Darien in the dub) from Sailor Moon.
According to Matt himself, a friend
of his asked him to draw the pics, and he stopped in the middle of the
third one(not posted) because he
started hating himself. ^-^;;;
Regardless of how you personally may regard Mamoru, these are very good
pics.
Masked
Guy with Sword Yet another cool picture. I think
it's the same guy as the "Cool Profile Pic" above, since both pics were
on a couple of pages that seemed devoted
to character design(I just picked two of the best), but don't take bets
on it. Still, cool pic, cool
character - anyone want to help me
convince Matt to draw his own manga series/doujinshi?
*sound of crickets chirping*
Hmph. Lazy visitors - the curse of a website.
Scary Face See? THIS is what coloring should be, even if the actual pic is kinda scary… *eeps and runs away to hide*
Posing Guy I kinda like the way this guy is standing - otherwise, it's just sort of a standard good pic. ^-^;;;
Spy on a Wall The face is a bit weird, but I love the way the brick wall is drawn. *sigh* I'm lousy at backgrounds…
Super-Cool
Pic Oh, my Lord… *swoons* Good pic. GREAT
pic. In fact, DROP-DEAD ABSOLUTELY AWESOME PIC!
THE must-see pic of this whole collection.
A friend of mine said that it looked like Legato from Trigun, but it doesn't
really. It's way
cooler, for one thing. ^-^V
I looooooooooooove this pic… I would cheerfully kill Nakago, Muraki,
AND Gendou Ikari for the ability
to draw this well… (Of course,
I'd cheerfully kill them anyway, but the drawing ability would be a nice
bonus.)
Guy
in a Trenchcoat Not THE best artwork here(though it's a
hell of a lot better than most of my stuff), but the overall coolness
of the pic made me post it.
Besides, it's a long-haired guy in a trenchcoat - what more does a little
bishie-gatherer like me want? ^-^v
Unicorn
Sketch I didn't notice that it was breathing fire when
I first looked at it, but it is… O.o It's awesome, anyway,
and
demonstrates Matt's ability to draw
more than just people. Heck, I'd settle for just being able to draw
people.
Vegeta Sketch There's no shading or anything, but I like Vegeta and it's a good sketch, so - here it is!
Yin-Yang
Guy Another cool picture of an android-ish person with
the dark half of a yin-yang symbol on his forehead. Saidin,
anyone? (Hey, there were notes
in that sketchbook about the route to Caemlyn, so don't give me that look.)
Little
Zeru-chan Sketch A small but very good pic of Zelgadiss
from Slayers(he's one of my favorite characters, so I usually call
him Zeru-chan).
Another
Zelgadiss Sketch A much larger and excellent picture of
Zeru-chan. He's just too cool… ^-^v You can kind of see
a pic
of Xelloss through the paper, but
I didn't scan that pic in because a) I hate Xelloss and b) that picture
was creeeeeeeeeeepy.
Knight in
Armor Wai! More spiffy Matt-san artwork at last!
This is a cool pic of a person in armor that he drew so I would
have a model of someone in plate armer
next time I want to draw someone in it(my stab at it going alone is on
the next page - ah, if only
I had waited to ink it…).
Genderless
Character Sketch A really nice, if somewhat unfinished,
sketch of a character with no discernible gender. One day, with
luck, I'll figure out a gender for
it and then give it an appropriate name…
Half-Masked
Man A very cool little ink sketch of a guy with a mask
on the lower half of his face(NOT THAT KIND OF MASK YOU
LITTLE PERVERTS!!). I know it's
a bit crooked, but Matt-san did draw it on that funny-shaped bit of paper
and that made it hard to align
on my scanner... ^-^;;;
Well, that's it for now! Please check back occasionally for updates,
and remember what I said about the sadists!
And, for no reason at all:
I'm the one who submitted this caught image, just so you know… To catch your own Rei-sama, go here: http://www.pocketbishoujo.com/
Look! I added another page to the sketchbook!
^-^v You must all go and look at it NOW, because it's cool and stuff!
