What the Aqua Teen Hunger Force would look like if they were real.
A lot of work in Photoshop, using free stock photos of food and people's faces. You can't believe how hungry I was for Carl's Jr after making this.

Gamers Vault is a new website I created http://games.mattmcmanis.com
It's based on a project I did for my Flash class earlier this year. Instead of using Flash, I made it traditional html, using Joomla. All game graphics I created in Illustrator.
Hey, Kiki!

- Published on Friday, 10 August 2012
This is a tribute to Hayao Miyazaki's famous animation, "Kiki's Delivery Service".
It is not a specific scene from the movie, but one from my imagination. I studied the movie and still images to learn how to draw the characters. Drawn in Photoshop CS5/CS6, with a Wacom Bamboo tablet, over a period of a few months, because I got stuck a few times.
This is fan art. Characters in this drawing are © Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli.

3D Video Game Cartridges

- Published on Sunday, 11 December 2011
These are 3D game cartridges for Atari, NES, SNES, and Genesis. I made them with Adobe Illustrator for a school project, which was a Flash website of our choice. I chose to make one about collectible vintage video games. I am also using the images for personal projects. This picture displays some extremely rare games, some of which only a few copies exist in the world.

Michael - Illustrator Vector
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 08 December 2011
This was my Adobe Illustrator class Final project. I put to use a new featured I have recently learned - the mesh tool. I traced over a photo of Michael Jackson and recreated everything in vector graphics. The space background is also created the same way. Due to it being vector, I could blow up his eye the size of the screen and put in very fine details. I also wanted it to still maintain an artistic look, so some of his jacket and other parts are smooth, digital looking.
