Photo of the waterfront sundown in Tauranga one warm Summer night. I like reflections and I like sunsets. :)

I do several styles of artwork here. I've taken up nature photography over the last few years and this contrasts fairly heavily with my generally violent and war-related drawings and character designs.

...I suppose it's better to get it out of the system on paper than in real life yes? =P

My favourite video games are the Halo trilogy and I've also done a wee bit of fanart relating to them.

As a self-professed critic, it would be very hypocritical of me to not accept criticism and I do in all forms. I learn more from one honest opinion than I do from twenty insincere compliments. If you have any thoughts whatsoever on my work, don't hold back!

I have my reservations about the faves system. I think people abuse them as a way to meter out a pre-measured, impersonal and generic degree of appreciation, without any thought or effort.

As such, I make a point to not treat them like this and I'm very stingy with what I let in here and I only ever give out one or two per week. When I call something a 'Favourite', you can be sure I really, really mean it. :clap:

Well, that's it. As of a few hours ago, I have faced down the last of seven exams, totalling nearly an entire day in exam rooms across the course of two and a half weeks. I am officially halfway through my degree.

Slightly inebriated, it's 1.55AM, my flat is filled with my flatmate's drunken buddies and I don't think I'm going to be going to bed any time soon.

Will post a proper journal tomorrow, or like, sometime after that.

Here's to finishing the year! :ahoy:

Journal History

deviantID

Greetings from New Zealand... you know, those two little islands where they filmed Lord of the Rings? Yeah, there.

My name's Max, I'm 19 years old and I'm in my second year of my Electrical Engineering degree at the university where Lord Ernest Rutherford, the man who split the atom studied at, Canterbury University.

To be honest, my interest in drawing is rather odd considering how much of an objective, logic driven science geek I am. I do take this viewpoint a lot and apply it to art though. I don't like pretension in art and the I consider the quality of the finished product above any other criteria (Method/medium used or any hidden meaning/symbolism which isn't immediately apparent). I enjoy realism and good workmanship.

I consider myself an approachable person and I'm more than happy to help anyone who's willing to listen to me, which has gained me somewhat of a reputation as a good critic. I don't know everything but I am honest. If you'd like my opinion on a piece of artwork and maybe a suggestion or two, I'm always ready to oblige. :)


In my own art style, I aim for hyper-realism, when I can take a fictitious, fantastical character and make them appear real on a page. I'm a long way off it yet, but I'm clawing my way up slowly.

I also write way too much whenever a box on the internet prompts me to write something, hence all this textwall... ^^;

Hehe, no problem at all, I'm a very patient person. Take as long as you want, I'd much rather you take your time, enjoy working on it and do a good job then try and rush it. :)

I know it is not a simple to create such complicated job I have ever tried. And all I have to expect is your critique.

I will call you if it was done.
