Never feeling tied to a specific look or style or image. Sometimes I feel like drawing a whale that looks almost realistic, sometimes I feel like drawing a monstrous whale. It's my project and I can do what I like, and that has been absolutely thrilling.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-50642112355767373432011-01-12T18:18:48.276-05:002011-01-12T18:18:48.276-05:00Oh, that's mighty too.

While I can look at every single illustration I've done so far and see something I would like to change or improve, I do think that making art this regularly and diligently really has improved my skills a great deal. I am happy (and relieved!) that these pieces at the end are truly some of the best in this entire project.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-15463769230036551602011-01-12T09:05:25.047-05:002011-01-12T09:05:25.047-05:00Thanks Sean, I was a little worried that this one ...Thanks Sean, I was a little worried that this one might have come out a bit more on the silly side and not the threatening side. I wanted threatening. <br /><br />This piece is actually an homage to this absolutely wonderful David Johnston cover illustration for the Ballantine Adult Fantasy paperback edition of Ludovico Ariosto's book "Orlando Furioso." You can see the original <a href="http://www.skwishmi.com/images/baf/03a.jpg" rel="nofollow">at this link</a>. Those old Ballantine covers are some of the best EVER.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-69403237275706450712011-01-11T11:44:09.734-05:002011-01-11T11:44:09.734-05:00I thought you hit your stride earlier.
