Description Another quick doodle sketch of a ReBoot character.
This time, Matrix.

I really find male characters awkward to draw and difficult to make, but I wanted to experiment for practise at least. :]
Plus Matrix kicks ass.

For some reason, growing up, I never liked matrix, and never understood the character, but 10 years later watching all the episodes again, he's become my favourite now I actually understand what's going on and his story arc. :]


I thought for a guy, all the swirling and 'vine' like designs would be a bit too feminine for him, so tried more straight and heavy-set lines. Also tried to make him look jagged and sharp to in some way, kind of hint to his personality and generally short, sharp temper. That's the intention at least! xD
Green, black and yellow pencils.
Also tried a bit of charcoal some buddies got me for my Bday to make him look a bit scuffed. Not too sure how I feel with the turnout. I think it made him look overall kinda 'ashy' and his boots blotchy...

But here's Matrix, hope you like!

This is really cool! I love how you drew him. It's so stylized yet one can easily recognize the character. Awesome work!

Awesome. I was just thinking about reboot the other day for the first time in a long time, and I saw they're releasing a boxed dvd set. Great show...might have to pick it up. Wonder if its as good as I remember...

I really like the interesting take you did on his scar. I'm surprised no one else mentioned it (yourself included).

I agree with ReBootMaster in that I'm glad you like the character now. I've always been a Matrix fan as well.

I can't wait to see the others in this series.

Thanks for the comment!
And glad you liked the scar. :]

Yeah, Matrix is probably my second favourite character now (under our GodKing Hex).

I'll do my best to make you guys proud with the others in the series!

I'm glad you were able to appreciate Matrix as a character. He's been a favorite of mine for a long time.

You did a great job on this! He's masculine while still embodying your design elements. I REALLY like the charcoal btw.

Yeah - at the time, I was still the "season 1&2" target audience, and as only seven or so at the time, I think I was too young to actually understand it, and the gruff anti-heroic byronism was lost on me.

Watching it now, it makes perfect sense and I can really dig the character now.
And I loved how just perfect Adult AndrAIa's voice was.
I should really maybe included Matrix in my AdrAIa pic, but I think I liked the idea of child and adult Andraia together more.

I'm glad you liked the charcoal.
I thought it made it look kinda ashy overall and blotchy on his boots.

Thanks for the comment! ^__^

Oooh, I like, I like! I'd agree with you on the males-being-too-awkward-to-draw thing. Guys just don't have the CURVES ladies have. ;D But this dude looks awesome (4REAL). I love these original pieces of yours, the patterns and linework is always so crisp and creative. I mean, anyone could copy a picture. You do a LOT more than that.

YES!

Oh, m'Lady T - how much I adore every comment you give me.

I love it, but I'm not sure he would appreciate looking so elegant!

Well, I'm glad *you* like it!
If he gets pissy, I can hide behind Hex. xD

Loved it in the Daemon Rising finale where he's shouting how Viral Hex is no good, etc, giving it the big talk, and then she just picks him up and throws him down like a ragdoll when grabbing his icon.

Was hilarious to see him cowering beneath her! xD
