Instead of doing an illustration print, I decided to play with wood and stainless wires. FAT NINJA. For the "Is This Thing On" exhibit, the comedian assigned to me was Chris Farley. One of my favorite movies when I was a kid was "Beverly Hills Ninja", so I decied to make a fat ninja. <img src="http://payload46.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3221139/fatninja2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="670" width_o="960" height_o="960" src_o="http://payload46.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3221139/fatninja2_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16497044" /> http://twistedfork.me/Naruto-Folder http://twistedfork.me/following/twistedfork.me/Naruto-Folder Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:39:47 +0000 Twistedfork = Dan Matutina 3212395 This came from "The Boredom folder", a place where I usually put illustrations I make when on a break or when I'm just, well... bored. 1. Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Professor. Probably the strongest Hokage of Konoha, Jiraiya's sensei. Sarutobi can summon & transform Enma, the Monkey King into an Adamantine Staff. He was Jiraiya's Sensei. PRINT AVAILABLE HERE 2. Jiraiya performing Rasengan. Based on "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja". :) Jiraiya is my favorite character in the Narutoverse, so I just had to illustrate him. He was Minato's Sensei who later became Naruto's Sensei as well. PRINT AVAILABLE HERE 3. Minato Namikaze. Naruto's Dad and Jiraiya's pupil. Minato was the 4th Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, he was also known as "The Yellow Flash". One of his popular techniques was the "Flying Thunder God Technique", which allows him to teleport to the place where his kunai lands. He was Kakashi's Sensei, Naruto's Dad. PRINT AVAILABLE HERE 4. Hatake Kakashi. The student of Minato Namikaze. Popularly known in the ninja world as the "Copy Ninja". Kamui is Kakashi's original dōjutsu, released from the Mangekyō Sharingan, that allows one to transfer anything to another dimension. He was Naruto's Sensei.

A commissioned work by Century through PC&V. I made double-image illustrations that described the statements in a witty manner. 1. Selosa (Jealous) but Sexy - Binoculars/bike & a Love Triangle 2. Nerdy but Sexy - Fusion of a nerd & a strongman 3. Shy but Sexy - Fingers that look like hair bangs covering her face. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/1857262/Selosa1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="867" width_o="1224" height_o="1584" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/1857262/Selosa1_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="9181807" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/1857262/Nerdy1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="867" width_o="1224" height_o="1584" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/1857262/Nerdy1_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="9181801" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/1857262/Shy1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="867" width_o="1224" height_o="1584" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/1857262/Shy1_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="9181813" /> http://twistedfork.me/Vol-2 http://twistedfork.me/following/twistedfork.me/Vol-2 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 10:18:00 +0000 Twistedfork = Dan Matutina 3072865 One of the alternate covers of Numberline Record's Volume 2 Compilation. I just played with the idea of a skydiver dressed like Sta. Claus (this was released last December) turning up the volume and getting blown away. His headphones also function like a visor. The helmet, as with most of the other helmets I do are based on Johann Kraus' helmet. <img src="http://payload38.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3072865/Turn Up the Vol 2 with Text.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="621" width_o="1654" height_o="1535" src_o="http://payload38.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3072865/Turn Up the Vol 2 with Text_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="15678358" /> http://twistedfork.me/Sun-Sand-Surf http://twistedfork.me/following/twistedfork.me/Sun-Sand-Surf Sun, 25 Mar 2012 10:17:59 +0000 Twistedfork = Dan Matutina 3072845 A Philippine map I made last January for Sea Expo's magazine - Navigator. I stylized the map with geometric waves, a bit of how Manansala would treat his surfaces & backgrounds. I also did the layout and played with the title a bit. :) It was fun. <img src="http://payload38.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3072845/Low_Res_JPG_Preview.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="872" width_o="1238" height_o="1613" src_o="http://payload38.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3072845/Low_Res_JPG_Preview_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="15678194" /> http://twistedfork.me/The-Final-Hours http://twistedfork.me/following/twistedfork.me/The-Final-Hours Sun, 25 Mar 2012 09:38:15 +0000 Twistedfork = Dan Matutina 3072816 I did a couple of illustrations for the companion app of Mass Effect 3 -- The Final Hours by Geoff Keighley. It was a pretty neat project since I was a big fan of the Mass Effect franchise. In this particular illustration, I had the gang grouped together as if waiting for the incoming Reapers. The pose is reminiscent of the manga character group pose. :) You can download it for your iPad at the App Store. <img src="http://payload38.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3072816/ME3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="960" height_o="679" src_o="http://payload38.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3072816/ME3_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="15677955" /> http://twistedfork.me/Games-of-the-Year http://twistedfork.me/following/twistedfork.me/Games-of-the-Year Wed, 21 Mar 2012 02:34:35 +0000 Twistedfork = Dan Matutina 3047621 An illustration I made for Rogue's article about their Games of the Year picks. The idea was to put familiar characters & elements of the games in the illustration. So for this one I had Cole Phelps (LA Noire) & Batman (Arkham City) investigating a teleportation hole (Portal). <img src="http://payload37.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3047621/Gaming 2011 a.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="579" width_o="960" height_o="831" src_o="http://payload37.cargocollective.com/1/0/5395/3047621/Gaming 2011 a_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="15539703" /> http://twistedfork.me/Graphs-Diagrams http://twistedfork.me/following/twistedfork.me/Graphs-Diagrams Wed, 21 Mar 2012 02:29:52 +0000 Twistedfork = Dan Matutina 2194267 1. The Moons of the Solar System. An infographic I made for Visual News’ Data Design section. The brief was to create a Bubble Chart. The subject was open so I decided to make a size comparison chart of the different moons in the Solar System. Why the moons? Well, it’s because I was born on the same day (not the year) as the Moon Landing. :) 2. Diagram / illustrations I made for GOOD's Winter issue. This was actually my first time to make a diagram / infographic, so I was a bit nervous at first. I was glad it came out well. The article by Zak Stone was really good, I learned a lot from it.

I kind of mixed the stuff I liked doing in one figure. I took inspiration from constellations, game bosses and connections when I was illustrating it. For people who play World of Warcfrat, the illustration has a Yogg-Saron meets Algalon feel in it. That's me: science, tech, sci-fi, social media and design lover.
