Mateus Roberts (comms open)

I'm down to my last £100, Ive signed on for work in warehouses/factories or whatever to keep the lights on but it takes a while to organise, if you'd like to support my artwork here is my Patreon, cheers! patreon.com/c/AlexDuneBr...

I really enjoy this little series of winged serpentine sirens that I call Hybrids. I see them as muses of inspiration, inhabiting liminal dimensions.

You can find prints of them here, with discount today:

Digital painting of a woman's head

Trying to get the hang of painting directly in colour (rather than painting in B&W and then colouring transparently, like I've done for years)

Digital painting. Portrait of woman with white eyes and a floating skull on either side of her head.

New artwork!

"Haunted Sleep." A portrait of a spirit or demon who invades your mind while you sleep and causes nightmares, feeding off of the fear they create (or possibly the demon of staying awake at night due to anxiety).

Timelapse of my painting "Haunted Sleep."

I sort of discovered the story behind this painting as I worked on it and I think you can kind of see that happening in the video. At first, I just wanted to paint a pose I saw on pinterest, but as I painted the woman started to become an actual character

Need some $$$ to go around on my Paypal (yes, there, specifically) so please consider getting some of my recent zines from Itch because they all are completely free but also have cool extra materials at $3 donation tier!

Rough sketch of a portrait of a woman wearing a veil and a crown of thorns on her head

The digital portrait shows a woman with pale skin and dark long hair, she looks like a doll, her face cracked and bleeding. She is wearing a black veil and has a crown of thorns on her head. Near the woman's face and on her right shoulder sit several moths

I know that feel. I've been trying to get used to painting in colour rather than painting in B&W and then colouring, and oh boy, it's a whole mental work out. It's fun though, I'm enjoying the challenge.
The drawing looks great, by the way!

A portrait of a stupidly masculine guy.

Messy space marine guy. It’s so freeing just scribbling along not thinking about color

Three drawings of faces

That’s it, 50(+) heads! I wouldn’t say I learned anything new in terms of theory, but this challenge did reinforce some things, especially about proportions and capturing likenesses

🙏

It was also fun, so I’ll probably keep doing something like this as a warmup

Thanks, man 🙏

That pony does look pretty demonic 😰

Digital painting. Close up of a woman's face. She is pale and her eyes are white.

Close up because I like the textures on her face

Amazing work!

Almost at 50…

Thank you! I'm glad it has that effect
