Hey,

Lots of new things have been going on during the last month and I am making a plenty of changes to keep up with the pace. I'm planning on a job change and will be focusing a lot on new portfolio material so I can be ready when the time comes.

I've completed the transition of my website from the OspreyCG domain name to MatthewHein dot com. You can now find new and updated work here at [link] . Please feel free to visit the site and if you have any constructive feedback, just reply to this message.

Actually, just email me instead. : )

I'm about ready to try something new and exiting!

This DA account will be closing soon. Despite the feedback I've left for so many other artists on this site, I haven't received much in return. This site is broken. It lacks a culture of constructive criticism and the moderators seem to only feature pictures of blank canvases, bad naruto fanart, sexually explicit photos and...clowns? Whatever.

My thoughts on the transition boil down to the consistency of the experience. Everything I've seen on CGtalk is top of the line material. They have a full time art/ community director who selects only the best work and presents it so that I know every time I log on, I will be amazed and walk away inspired. On the other hand, DA has a bunch of volunteer schmucks that post whatever suits their fancy, like this:

I'm sure we all know what that means!

Since I'm interested in getting real feedback from real professionals who post really good work, I'm moving over to CGtalk.

See you there!
