The Art of Matthew Childers

It's been a while. Life got in the way of things. I have been drawing but it's things I can't really share. However I am working on this commission and though I can't show you the whole thing right now I can share this little tidbit. Imagine away... #teentitans #dccomics #comicbookcommission #comicbookart #comics #art #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QDQscBsBn/?igshid=1oyxf7yc71g4e

Finished the Sugar and Spike meets Supergirl Commission. Very fun indeed. It’s got a real old-school Archie-esque vibe which was totally intentionally unintentional. Though in all seriousness someone needs to commission me to do something really dark. Y’know.. with lots of shadows. Like Hellboy. Like soon. #inktober #inktoberday2 #inktober2019 #comics #comicbooks #comicbookcommission #comicbookart #comicbookartist #dccomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IWHf0BVzH/?igshid=1q2u3jcqeii8i

Never heard of Sugar and Spike before but here is a fun commission I'm working on. Inking the masthead first. #inktober #inktober2019 #inking #commissions #comiccommissions #comicart #zebrabrushpen https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FincbBGi-/?igshid=ghu7sffzkcgy

Poor Robin has been enthralled in the clutches of the Cenobites. Batman may have finally met his match in the form of Pinhead. A cool commission I just finished. #hellraiser #batman #comics #comicart #comicbookart #comicbookartist #batmanandrobin #dccomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B2m0mPvhSYu/?igshid=vauid0sln11k

Finished piece. Tried to do a cool video reveal of the spatter effect but failed miserably #etrigan #etriganthedemon #dccomics #comics #comiccommission https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wg93SBWZg/?igshid=1cpe68vf79sgg

Working on a Demon commission, I just can’t say no to drawing Etrigan and Klarion the Witch Boy #dccomics #comics #etrigan #etriganthedemon #comicbooks #comicbookartist #process https://www.instagram.com/p/B1t_h0whfMf/?igshid=aa8z8dxxc33d

Hand inked this piece (the original was done on my iPad. I actually think I ink better digitally but there is nothing like seeing fresh ink on paper. #spiderman #venom #carnage #marvel #amazingspiderman #comics #comicbookart https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CJvKLha85/?igshid=15647qfabwkmj

My whole week last week was a literal nightmare of work for the day job. I did get one commission done early in the week but essentially sat on inking this one until yesterday. Luckily it all worked out well for me, as I was able to finish it. Not so sure it will work out for Mr. Matt Murdoch though. Elektra seems to have him on the ropes. #daredevil #marvel #marvelcomics #elektra #mattmurdoch #themanwithoutfear #marveluniverse #comics #comicbooks #comicbookcommission #comicbookart https://www.instagram.com/p/B0y3uIDBiES/?igshid=1z9h8f575yb0

Was asked to do an Absolute Carnage print as a free giveaway by a comic shop in S.C. to coincide with the release of the upcoming Absolute Carnage #1 by Marvel. This is probably the closest I'll ever come to drawing Spider-Man for reals. Still it was loads of fun and was the first time I ever did a piece entirely on my ipad. I think I've found a few favorite toy. #ipad #marvel #carnage #venom #spiderman #spider-man #peterparker #amazingspiderman #marvelcomics #comics #comicbooks #comicbookartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jfh7nBqiU/?igshid=i435g5w8wn04

This had to be the hardest struggle of the past few months. The amazing guy who commissioned this always gives me a challenge. And this time he didn’t disappoint. I actually had a whole day where I sat there and looked at this and my anxiety just got the best of me. #dccomics #comics #comicbookcommission #art #artistoninstagram #comicbookartist #comicart https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OoNQCh3VU/?igshid=ga2qnxsx4pqr

Two more commissions after this one. This one had a really classic look, as it was an homage to the classic Daredevil #4. Was just glad to be able to pull it off, especially after a long con weekend. I do love Daredevil though. Used to not care for the character at all, but after the run by Chris Samnee I really have come to appreciate how amazing this character can be. #daredevil #marvel #comics #manwithoutfear #elektra #marvelcomics #comicart #comiccommission https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_e11JhHwh/?igshid=1kvfow0uj6ywn

The last week or so I really wanted to get back into gear with working on the last issue of Moon Hunters. Got some pages back from my flatter and actually colored four pages. Here are a couple that I enjoyed. I have some commissions on my desk right now so doubt I'll be able to color more until next week but I'm at least making some serious progress again. #indiecomics #fantasy #comics #fantasycomics #art #comicart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzx5TB8BBzF/?igshid=1jg8p3hpn2dpj

Wonder Woman is providing cover for the Rocketeer to take out some Nazis. Here is another fun cover commission finished. This one took me longer to do than normal since I had a convention this past weekend whilst I was working on it. I really enjoyed using the Copic Gasenfude for a good portion of this as well. @dccomics #wonderwoman #rocketeer #comics #comiccommission #comicart #illustration #comicart https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbMQpsBoUD/?igshid=1uhk6dko7pvdf

Was inspired by the boys at Creaturebox and did this Venom piece. Just Col-Erase blue pencil. Think I’m going to try something similar soon with some black colored pencils. I love stretching my creative legs like this. #marvel #venom #spiderman #comics #creaturebox #inspiration #sketch #drawing #comicartist #robcon (at MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzV4LV1BdSC/?igshid=12hzpp2uas4rx
