Description Doing another Matrix "scribble-stration" again, for some reason... I think I'm doing it because I wasn't all the way pleased with the last one I did. I was trying to cling to an illustration that had died when Photoshop committed suicide... but it's just not as good a 2nd time. I think this one has given me some closure as I started it completely differently, trying to give it its own feel... and as you can see, I cut it off at the waist and made the strokes more deliberate. I also used some watercolor brushes that I found, which add an incredible sense of texture, I think... Overall, I'm much more satisfied with this piece... and I find that I've gotten over that first one that died the other night.

EDIT: Did some alterations to it to make the "Matrix rain" effect more apparent. Buy the print here! = [link]

Thought all of them were pretty well done. The face in this one is very well done.

This one is amazing. That golw against the black and the matrix. Well worth the time invested.
How did you do the matrix?

The scrolling symbols in the background? I just took an image from Google. lol It's basically just icing on top of an already great-tasting cake.

Then it's back to look at the matrix to get an idea of how the symbols look, or just talk to photoshop and make my own to get a base and after that, start scribbling?

Are you asking me for a tutorial on how to make this kind of illustration?

Almost. I just realised that I've the experience I need to do it without any help. Photoshop just took 5 hours of cursing many years ago to learn, now it almost does stuff without me telling it to.
But if you want to go ahead. My guess is that there might be people that wants one and does not say anything.
