Of course you are, because it’s quite impressive to see how this guys were working before the use of the computer to create environments. I’ll try to add more and more material to this gallery. Images, but also videos. It’s the Gallery ! Come often, as hopefully there will be more and more to look at !

Souvlaki – Joao Ruas Albert Whitlock - a scrapbook of memorable matte moments No two ways about it, when it boils down to it, the most recognised name in cinematic matte wizardry would have to be the late, great Albert Whitlock. No other name associated with matte painting has had near the impact that Whitlock has had to generations of film viewers. Although many of the names I have written on here previously were masters of the art form in their day, the fact that the public never really knew anything about their deliberately concealed trickery was thanks to overly protective studio bosses who often went all out to deny that the wonders up on that silver screen were anything other than great insightful film making. Incidentally, in the early years those same megalomaniac tyrants did their utmost to try to prevent the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from establishing a category for special effects. True story! Bill Taylor replaced Hoffman in 1975 and was cameraman and compositor for hundreds of Al's most memorable visual effects. Peter
YAXÍN and the FAUN Earthquake - it really was an event. EARTHQUAKE, a film that back in it's day, 1974 totally blew my impressionable teenaged mind, especially when exhibited on first release in 70mm six track stereo on the huge curved screen at the now sadly deceased Cinerama theatre in Auckland - and in the new multi-sensation shattering Sensurround. It really was "an event", just as the posters proclaimed. EARTHQUAKE was the film for me (after KING KONG and maybe JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS) back around the mid seventies, and one of the first that drew me into the netherworld that is (or at least used to be) matte paintings. I was transfixed by this film - the reliable and square jawed Charlton Heston (whom I was lucky enough to meet in person some years later), cool mo-fo Richard Roundtree - 'Shaft' himself, ample bosomed Victoria Principal before she drove us all crazy doing these damned informercials and everybody's favourite Irish cop, George Kennedy...the dream cast. Hell, even Walter Matthau fronted up unbilled as a drunk survivor.
Loopydave on deviantART Graphic-ExchanGE - a selection of graphic projects This new deck by Joe White follow the Contraband one. You know Joe and his amazing detailed design as we work together on the (sold out) 2015 edition of the calendar and he designed the front cover. Every single playing card within the High Victorian deck was designed from scratch - even the Aces, Jokers, and court cards exude the grand excess of ornamentation quintessential to the Victorian era. In a word: breathtaking. Antler is a deck designed by Tom Lane, who also creates this year edition of the front cover of the letterpress calendar! I contact Jeff Trish as I love his design of this deck, and I am pleased to say he participates in this year edition of the calendar too! As both Tom Lane and Jeff Trish participate in this year calendar I propose you 2 packs with the calendar (Deluxe or Normal) and their decks.

Which should be obvious. Lately I've been having allot of people asking me to use my "Gauntlet" character as their own in either avatars, or sprite comics, or in their signatures, or something. Of course I've had a few people simply steal it and ask me nothing. First sprites I ever made. Some extremely basic R&F CD edits I made when I first started out. The logo I use and font name. This sheet includes the first Gauntlet sprite I tried to make. The Gauntlet CDs. I've only needed one mugshot, and this is it. When I first got involved with the Megaman community, one of the things that I really got into was trying to find out what the PC RM's looked like. This showcases the more recent PC CDs and a sheet of PC 16-bit sprites that I later used for epilogues. Going into sprite collecting was ONLY to make a group shot which had every Robot Master, Maverick, or character in the series. Some custom screens done a LONG whiles back. Capcom VS SNK custom cards. Expressman.
