Maxx Marshall
Artist | Professional | Digital Art
United Kingdom
Professional game artist/animator on Starcraft, Daxter, World of Warcraft, God of War, Diablo and many more. I've been a character designer, animator, UI artist, art lead, etc. Now, like Ryu, I'm travelling the world to tighten my skills and learn new and amazing techniques. I have to jump from style to style sometimes, but my personal style is always the same. Sexy girls and silliness. I hope you like and I always look to inspire.

So here's the video...
[link]
Watch a bit of it first, so you can be in the right frame of mind...

Often when i'm watching a talent based reality show i'll think to myself, "Contestant", I'll say, "Contestant, I know you watched yourself in the mirror, I know you looked at your moves and worked out what looks best from what angle and put together a package to sell to Simon, The dragons, etc. My question is, Did you videotape yourself?" I don't really like being on tape. My voice has been low since i was 11 and it is always odd for me to hear my voice on tape/digital recording. I have a few recordings of myself when i was younger being silly and singing songs like little kids do but am hiding them and hopefully, even though they are a part of what makes me who/what I am today, I will just let them fade with time and go away forever.

These things said, I decided to film myself drawing. I can often be seen at coffeehouses sketching with friends, so I'm not shy around others drawing... I mean, hey, I have an entire series of pieces called BusStopSketches. So, I took the plunge. Partially to show others what it looks like when i sketch during meetings to establish thoughts on an IP, but also what i do to get publishers interested in ideas for covers, ads, one sheets, whatever. I'll sit back, relax and draw. I'll grab markers and paint, I'll grab pens and ink. The second reason I filmed this was just to see myself draw. First thought upon seeing the video? Weird hands... seriously, I have fingers like alien facehugger legs. How they splay out and hold things is slightly creepy. They hold the page from 3-4 spots and bend all creepily. I once sat by Erik Larsen at a con and watched in awe as he drew coming from the wrong direction with his hands (google it). My technique isn't as odd, but it's up there. Second thought, "spin the page much?" yeah, it's like on a swivel. I do it to get the most comfortable position to get a good line flowing. I also don't like having my hand rest on the top of my clipboard. Third, I noticed that i'm married, Yeah, that puppy's made of titanium... really, I have a titanium wedding ring... If a steam roller hits me, my ing will be fine... I, on the other hand, will be a fine paste WEARING a cool titanium ring. Fourth, That native american is working hard in my genes to make it look like i have no arm hair...I do, but i'm no robin williams.

That was mostly all, I am still fighting off liars that want to claim the music. sincere thanks for the support, I hope to draw more and more for you with my wee facehugger-ian fingers!!!

You are crazy talented! Thanks so much for the watch, it's an honour!

I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like if someone just mailed you an apple you'd be like "Huh? What the hell is this?" but if it's in a fruit basket you're like "This is nice!"

Aw no problem. You're just like real world good. All the things I strive for you've got down pact. It's cool to see. It's like no matter what you draw it's better than most of what I see on dA. Rendering ability is nothing without drawing skill. :D

Well good on you! Even if publishers don't bite, you can still self-publish it through e-media. I can't wait, it sounds like a great story :D
