This is the image I used for the old blog banner at the top. I did this for an Art Appreciation class at Pikes Peak Community College. I love The Matrix films and the work of Geof Darrow. I just think the level of insane detail that he is willing and able to achieve in his work is staggering. That man ALWAYS brings the Awesome Sauce. I remember seeing some of the concept work he did for the third film in that series and how he illustrated Agent Smith getting punched in the face. So much was going on and the impact itself looked devastating, and kinetic, and visceral, and amazing. I tried very hard to convey those same elements that he used, and then ratchet them up to the almost ridiculous level. I mean, teeth are shattering, an ear canal is collapsed; I assume there is some type of skull trauma-so on and so forth. Originally, I wanted the guy (me by the way. I am not a narcissist, I promise) to be eating a bacon cheeseburger, (which I plan on putting in at a later time) hence the little pieces of brown beefy stuff coming out of his mouth. Soooo….yeah…there ya go.
