<K-Idanian> for the few that haven't seen his web site: http://www.mattbusch.com
<K-Idanian> Alright... Lets get some questions.  Whenever you are ready, Matt
<Matt-Busc> There is a lot od material in the STAR WARS section...
<Matt-Busc> And there's a cool STEP BY STEP section that features a Darth Maul drawing/painting I did...
* FlelmAway is now known as Flelmo
* Kweeky|aw has joined #emperor's_hammer
* Kweeky|aw is now known as Kweeky
<Matt-Busc> Ready!
<K-Idanian> What made you want to get involved in Star Wars?
<Matt-Busc> I saw the film when I was four.  I knew right away!
* SuprSmash is now known as SS|Clean
<Matt-Busc> I was always interested in the ART side of it early on...
<Matt-Busc> Obviously the rich visuals from the film, but I was also a comic book fan, and I loved the STAR WARS Marvel comics, growing up.
<Matt-Busc> So, it's always been a dream, almost since I can remember.
<K-Idanian> Why did you want to become an artist?
<K-Idanian> Matt, if I happen to cut you off, my deepest apologizes
<Matt-Busc> It was actually STAR WARS that started that. (No prob!)
<Matt-Busc> Theres a story in the BIO section of my web site that talks about my first attemp at depicting the 'Galaxy far, far away...
<Matt-Busc> I created a STAR WARS pop-up-book in Kindergarten...  Funny story, though for anyone who's interested.
<GA_Ronin> shoot...we got time...!...:)
<K-Idanian> yes, lets here this story! :)
<Matt-Busc> Hey is there a symbol I can type when I finish my answer?
* MAJ|Mark is now known as `M
<K-Idanian> |
* `M is now known as MAJ|Mark
* Mosh has joined #emperor's_hammer
<GA_Ronin> Matt;  "fin"
<Matt-Busc> Cool!
* Curtis has joined #emperor's_hammer
<GA_Ronin> or "|"
<RA_mBind> i'm interested anyway (i did the same but never got that far;))
<Matt-Busc> Well... I was obviously in love with STAR WARS at the time...
* Curtis is now known as Lt_Curtis
<Matt-Busc> I also had a fondness for Pop-up-books...
* Maaric has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> So at school, when the Scholastic Newspaper thing came to class, announcing that a STAR WARS pop-up-book was being released, I was extremely excited!
<Matt-Busc> So I ran home and told my Mom about it...
<Matt-Busc> But she refused to order it for me since I never read any of the other books she ordered for me.
<Matt-Busc> I was extremely upset.
<Matt-Busc> So I marched right up to my room...
<Matt-Busc> Pulled out the construction paper...
<Matt-Busc> Pulled out the magic markers...
<Matt-Busc> And set out to create my own STAR WARS Pop-Up-Book!
* `Andrew has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> For a little kid, it was quite impressive!
<Matt-Busc> My Mom was so impressed, that she secretly ordered the REAL book for me.
<Matt-Busc> So I remember sitting in class the day that the book orders were delivered.
<Matt-Busc> And I knew that all the other kids were getting the book.
<Matt-Busc> So as the teacher is calling off student's names to come get there books, I was quietly sitting with my head under my desk, reading my own self-created pop-up-book...
* Tissaya has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Matt-Busc> Trying not to pay attention to the other kids' excitement...
<Matt-Busc> So you can imagine my surprise when the teacher called my name to come get my book!!!
<Matt-Busc> So that was really my first lesson in life with this whole business:
<Matt-Busc> If you want something bad enough, and you put forth the effort...
<Matt-Busc> Your dreams will come true!
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
* Keldorn has joined #emperor's_hammer
* X sets mode: +o Keldorn
<RA_mBind> and that art pays off?;)
<GA_Ronin> hehe...just made your own...
<K-Idanian> Great story, Matt! :)
<K-Idanian> Where did you first see Star Wars?
* `Trow has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> Well, there have been other instances where that same theory has paid off...
* Mosh has quit IRC (Signed off)
* MAJ|Mark has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Matt-Busc> I first saw STAR WARS at the Showcase Cinema in Sterling Heights, MI.
* Quickslvr has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> It was funny, though, because my parents saw it first, and decided it was too violent for me...  With Tusken Raiders killing Luke's Aunt and Uncle, and Obi-Wan getting sliced in half and all!
* Obi-Wan is now known as `psh
<Matt-Busc> So I actually tricked my Grandparents into taking me to see it for the first time!
* AD_Cyric has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> "Fin"
* `psh is now known as Obi-Wan
<K-Idanian> Gotta love grandparents! :)
<Matt-Busc> haha!
<K-Idanian> Grand Admiral Ronin would like to know: Matt, I wasn't aware (until I hit your website) of all the other SciFI artwork you had done (i.e. Lexx and Star Trek)...Nice work !  Do you plan on doing any more "obscure" SciFi art like Farscape ?
* `Locust has quit IRC (Signed off)
* MAJ|Mark has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> I've only done 1 FARSCAPE piece, and it's somewhere in the GALLERY section...
<Matt-Busc> I did that piece for the official licensee, but then they lost the license.
-Kweeky- (private) Where is his website? :P
<Matt-Busc> There was talk of me doing the comics, but that fizzled later on...
* `Tronsta has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> I actually just recived notice that I'll be doing covers for a few Sci-Fi properties in the coming months:
<Matt-Busc> ROBOCOP
<Matt-Busc> SPECIES
<Matt-Busc> and STARGATE SG-1
* Tissaya has joined #emperor's_hammer
* Frey has joined #emperor's_hammer
* dasb00t has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> To answer your question, I do enjoy a lot of the obscure stuff.
<Matt-Busc> The one property I am not really a fan of, though is STAR TREK.  It's not that I don't like it, I just am not familiar with any of the shows...
<GA_Ronin> awesome ! I will take a look for Farscape art in your gallery...I love Farscape and Stargate...Some of the better "original" SciFi shows out there ! >:)  Thanks !
<Matt-Busc> Yes!
<Matt-Busc> "Fin"
<K-Idanian> Locuct would like to know: what got him interested in the Star Wars Universe and if there's any single event or experience that made him fall in love with it?
<K-Idanian> you can just answer the second half, Matt. :)
<Matt-Busc> From the get-go, it was the movies.
<Matt-Busc> I have read many of the books...
<Matt-Busc> read the comics...
<Matt-Busc> Played the origianl Role-Playing Game...
<Matt-Busc> Played with the figures as a kid...
* Lt_Curtis has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Matt-Busc> Loved it all.  But in the end, it's the movies for which all of the other stuff is based...  The films that fill my mind with wonder.
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> `Tronsta would like to know: as an honorary member of the EH does matt actually have a position and rank in the TieCorp/Dark Jedi Bortherhood/or any other subgroup?
<GA_Ronin> Maybe I should take this one, Keiran ?
<Matt-Busc> I'm sorry to say that I don't...
<Matt-Busc> I should say real quick, though-
<K-Idanian> jump in whenver you want, Grand Admiral
<GA_Ronin> let Matt finish, then I will weigh in :)
<Matt-Busc> Back when I had more time with buddies and all, I used to absolutely love Role-playing!!!
<Matt-Busc> And now with everything online...  It's just so cool!
* Lt_Curtis has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> I wish I had more time for it and salute you all!  I'm jealous that you all are having so much fun!
* AD_XGZ has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
* CEO|Triar has quit IRC (Signed off)
* DronJK2 is now known as _2LTDron
<GA_Ronin> LOL..Matt, I am a BIG fan of RPG...started playing back in ~1980 (D&D)
<Matt-Busc> Me, too!
<GA_Ronin> that experience led me to start the EH...now we have ~4,600 Members worldwide in 6 continents
* Obi-Wan is now known as Obi-1
<GA_Ronin> basically I am the GM and all these guys, the players :)
<Matt-Busc> Wow!!!  I didn't realize it was that big!  Very cool!
<GA_Ronin> as for Ranks for Honorary Members...I didn't even consider it...I will look into it...Maybe honorary "Admirals" or something
<GA_Ronin> :  FIN ::
<Matt-Busc> Haha!  Cool. "fin"
<K-Idanian> RA_mBind would like to know: I'd like to ask what techique he uses... it looks mostly like airbrush, but i've seen the same effects created by other methods. (even guache)
<Matt-Busc> Well, for a complete outlined look at my technique, check out the STEP BY STEP section of my web site...
<Matt-Busc> I start out with penciling in a drawing, like most artists do.
<Matt-Busc> From there I begin to paint in acrylic blacks to seperate my darkest darks...
<Matt-Busc> I then paint in acrylic washes.  At this point it looks like watercolor.
<Matt-Busc> I then do acrylic airbrushing, but believe it or not, this part is minimal.
<Matt-Busc> I use airbrush for large areas of smooth color, or special effects (like a lightsabre glow).
<Matt-Busc> I then paint again on top of that, mostly opaque acrylics to really pull out the lights against the shadows.
<Matt-Busc> My last step is to use color pencils.  This completes any details I didn't get with the paint, but also lets me add some flare to give it that Drew Struzan look.
<Matt-Busc> After all, he really has defined the look for STAR WARS art.
<Matt-Busc> And when I started, I was getting hired because I could replicate his style.
* Mart has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> But I'm trying to get away from just doing 'his' thing.  I've evolved a bit over the years, in terms of my style.
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
* AD_XGZ has joined #emperor's_hammer
<K-Idanian> Major Mark would like to know: what faction does he support, Empire or Rebs
<Matt-Busc> Hmmmm...
* Obi-1 is now known as Obi-2
* MAJ|Mark has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<GA_Ronin> (trick question...hehe)
* Obi-2 is now known as Obi-Two
<Matt-Busc> Well, let's put it this way: I have a tattoo of Darth Vader on my left bicep.
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> :)
<Matt-Busc> ;)
* MAJZoron is now known as ZoronAway
<GA_Ronin> awesome
* ZoronAway has quit IRC (Signed off)
<K-Idanian> Major Mark would also like to know: have you done any games for Star Wars?
* Maaric has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> I don't really tell the folks at Lucasfilm that, I don't want to freak them out!
<Matt-Busc> But I'm definitely first and foremost, A FAN!
<Matt-Busc> "fin!'
<K-Idanian> long live the FANS! :)
<Matt-Busc> Absolutely!
<K-Idanian> Captain Jensen would like to know: how did he get to do the cover of Tales of the Empire?
<Matt-Busc> That was an odd happenstance kind of thing...
* zekkie has joined #emperor's_hammer
* Obi-Two is now known as Obi-Three
<Matt-Busc> I originally did the art for the credits page of one of West End Games' STAR WARS Adventure Journals.
* MAJ|Mark has joined #emperor's_hammer
* Obi-Three is now known as Obi-Wan
<Matt-Busc> When it came time to put the book together, Editor Peter Schweighofer had brought the art to the Bantam offices, jst to show it off or whatever...  Bantam liked it so much, they wanted to use it for the cover!
<Matt-Busc> So I got paid twice for the same art!
<Matt-Busc> I would love to do more covers, but now that Del Rey has the license (and they love my work, too) but they are choosing to do the whole photo-illustration thing.
<Matt-Busc> I dig that stuff, but in my opinion, it doesn't look very "STAR WARS".
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> I'll look forward to seeing some of your art on the books :)  Hopefully something in the New Jedi Order
<K-Idanian> Kweeky would like to know: Does he know many Indy (non-professional) Star Wars artists?
<Matt-Busc> Sure...  I know a lot of the guys who do work on the fanzines and a couple of the cats who have online STAR WARS galleries...
* `KK has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> There's some great stuff out there!
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> A question from FA_Brad: What would you consider to be a big factor in the support of your career?
<Matt-Busc> Good question...
<Matt-Busc> I think the key to a lot of my success has been determination.
<Matt-Busc> The drive.
<Matt-Busc> The passion.
<Matt-Busc> The fact that 'giving up' is not in my vocabulary.
* Mart has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> (Well, I guess it is since I just said it!)
<RA_mBind> :)
<Matt-Busc> If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!
<Matt-Busc> I actually don't believe in the word talent, because I think everyone has it.
* FA_Brad has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Matt-Busc> What most people call talent, I call "WHEN INSPIRATION MEETS PERSPIRATION..."
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> Captain Jensen would also like to know: would you ever consider doing a piece centered on the Emperor's Hammer?
<Matt-Busc> I would actually love to!
<Matt-Busc> BUT
* FA_Brad has joined #emperor's_hammer
* X sets mode: +o FA_Brad
<Matt-Busc> Lucasfilm prohibits me from doing any work that's not officially licensed.
* MAJ|Mark is now known as `M
<AD_Mike> wb
<Matt-Busc> In fact, I had to ask for permission to do this chat!
<GA_Ronin> really ? who decides these things, Lucas' legal folks ?
* SS|Clean is now known as SuprSmash
<Matt-Busc> Recently, I was allowed to do the poster for the Netherland's STAR WARS convention, but I still had a contract with LFL, and only because it was stricly for charity.
* `M has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* _2LTDron is now known as DronWORK
<K-Idanian> geez...
<Matt-Busc> (And the Netherlands' fan club is in cahoots with LFL.
* `KK has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* `Malik is now known as Mal|away
<Matt-Busc> Yeah, it's funny, with all due respect to LFL, it seems like being an official STAR WARS artist is more about what you cannot do than what you can.
* OBM_Mage is now known as _Sw0rD_
<Matt-Busc> But I understand their concerns as a company.
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> Another question from Kweeky: What would you advice would you give to a learning (currently fairly Indy) Star Wars artist, are there any styles/subjects you'd recommend against producing?
* Kweeky is now known as Kweeky|aw
<Matt-Busc> Hmmm...
<Matt-Busc> Well, like any artist getting into the biz, get your stuff out there!
<Matt-Busc> Sell! Sell! Sell!
* `M has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> Sometimes it's wierd being an artsit, because you are constantly promoting yourself, and it almost seems like it's an ego thing.
<Matt-Busc> But you have to get your name out there and show off your work.
<Matt-Busc> Sooner or later, you'll be in the right place at the right time!
<Matt-Busc> I know that a lot of the other artists out there doing official stuff like me, started off as Indy STAR WARS artists, doing work for fanzines and all...
* Crimster has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> And I know that LFL has personally tapped writers and artists that have run fan things online to do the official stuff.  When they see something good, they tap it for the real thing.
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> Grand Admiral Ronin would like to know: Have you ever met George Lucas...and if you do again, please mention the Emperor's Hammer!
* Mal|away is now known as `Malik
<Matt-Busc> Haha!
<GA_Ronin> LOL...still waiting for GL to notice us...the largest amateur online SW game club on the web...:)
<Matt-Busc> Actually, no, I have met Rick McCallum, and almost everyone under him, but not George.
<GA_Ronin> been almost 8 years...
<GA_Ronin> well, if it ever comes up...remember us...hehe
* `Mark`` has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> HOWEVER, I'm supposed to be going to the Ranch in October, and I'm hoping to meet George then.  :)
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> OBM_Mage would like to know: if he is in support of continuing additions to the Star Wars universe via movies.
<Matt-Busc> Absolutely!  I would LOVE to see what happens after JEDI!
* CPT_Gilad has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Matt-Busc> A lot of folks pose the question, what if George passed the torch for other directors and writers to do them...?
<Matt-Busc> Not sure how I feel about that...
<Matt-Busc> I guess it would depend on a lot of things...
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> Obi-Wan would like to know: I'd like to know if he'll be playing Star Wars Galaxies - or if he was somehow involved with it.
* `Az has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> I was not involved, but have seen some preview stuff on it...  It looks really cool!
<Matt-Busc> My brother and brother-in-law atre always talking about it, so I expect I'll get on a time or two when it's released.
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> Frey would like to know: if we are all some crazy dudes in your eyes :P
<Matt-Busc> Yes, but I'm crazy, too, so throw me in the same pot!
<Matt-Busc> "fin"
<K-Idanian> Closing question from Grand Admiral Ronin: What do you think of the Emperor's Hammer?
* FA_Brad has quit IRC (Make an impact, not just an impression.)
<Matt-Busc> Well, I totally support RPG, and this chat was an absolute thrill!  (My fist one!)
<Matt-Busc> I will definitely spread the word and wish you guys the best!
* `Mark`` has quit IRC (Signed off)
<Matt-Busc> So to answer the question, what I meant to say was that I dig the Emperor's Hammer!
<Matt-Busc> 'fin"
<GA_Ronin> Matt...I would like to personally thank you for your time (and kind words)...!
<Matt-Busc> ;)
<K-Idanian> Again, I'd like to thank you very much, Matt for attending!  I hope you had as good of a time as we all had!
<K-Idanian> You're welcome to stay around and mingle with the members if you have time. :)
* `Locust has joined #emperor's_hammer
<GA_Ronin> Now, We will open the channel and let you meet the "real membership"...:)
<Matt-Busc> Sure...
<K-Idanian> Grand Admiral Ronin would like to close the interview... :)
* GA_Ronin sets mode: -m
<_Sw0rD_> Prepare to be mingled, sir. :P
<RA_mBind> One thing I'd like to say is that I really appreciate the originality of your work - sadly it seems many of the other SW artists like to paint over designs made up out of parts of movie-stills, you actually offer perspectives, poses and views that weren't available before:)
<GA_Ronin> mingle away....!
<CPTJensen> welcome to the EH
* KE|Trout has joined #emperor's_hammer
<DV> that rocked.
<Lt_Curtis> yeah
<Matt-Busc> Well, I do the phot reference thing, too, because many times it's what we HAVE to do...
<`Locust> we're allowed to speak now?
<Lt_Curtis> ya think
<K-Idanian> yep! RELEASE THE TIES!!
<`Locust> hehe ;)
<Matt-Busc> But yeah, I like to paint the stuff and angle you HAVEN'T seen before, whenever given the opportunity.
<RA_mBind> yes... but you don't show x-wings always from the same POV and such:)
<GA_Ronin> yes, you can all speak...but please allow Matt to asnwer one question before you ask the next...don't swamp the guy...:)
* Khal-Busy has joined #emperor's_hammer
<FA_Pri> Hey DV...grats (or something) on INQ.
* X sets mode: +o Khal-Busy
<CPTJensen> Matt, do you have to get Lucas' approval on all your SW work before you release it
<DV> wow. Thanks Pri :)
* Khal-Busy is now known as Khaland
<Matt-Busc> To my knowledge, George himself does not approve everything.
<DV> ...and grats on your OoR dude :)
<FA_Pri> Thanks
<Matt-Busc> For example, he does not read the books. (although he read the comics DARK EMPIRE and loved it!)
* Kweeky|aw waves
<`M> Dark Empire is the one with the ESSD
<Matt-Busc> ESSD?
<GA_Ronin> Matt...when I started the EH in DEC '94, the Dark Empire West End Games RPG Sourcebook was the beginning inspiration and foundation for the EH
<`M> Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer
<GA_Ronin> `M and the SSSD Sovereign...:)
<Matt-Busc> Cool!  I have that book!
<zekkie> Eclipse Super Star Destroyer
<Matt-Busc> Ah!  Yes...
* Mart has joined #emperor's_hammer
<Kweeky|aw> Hey Matt, do you know Karen Hinson?
<GA_Ronin> Matt...the EH is living proof the "Imperial government" works on the web...LOL
* Kweeky|aw is now known as Kweeky
<Matt-Busc> Yeah, I loved that series and thought that Cam Kennedy and Tom Vietch were a great team.
<_Sw0rD_> Depending on your definition of "Imperial Government".  It's all laid back and stuff here. :P
<`Locust> Matt, who is your favorite dark side character?
<Khaland> Who's laid-back?
<Matt-Busc> Overall, it has to be Vader.
* `Slawter has joined #emperor's_hammer
<`Locust> My favorite is Sidious =)
* DV is now known as DV-food
<`Locust> he freaked me out the first time I saw Return of the Jedi
<GA_Ronin> Christopher Lee as Count Dooku was pretty cool too...
<Matt-Busc> My dream is to see a young Vader in EPISODE III, kicking ass with his lightsabre, prequel style!
<CPTJensen> oh yeah
<Matt-Busc> Yes, and I was also a fan of Maul.
<`Locust> I want to see Yoda whoop up some more =)
<GA_Ronin> Matt...you and me both...I can envision it now...closing of Ep. 3...Vader walks out in his new armor...:)
<GA_Ronin> breathing...
<zekkie> Matt, do you agree with me when I say that Yoda needs to kill someone? :P
* `Locust has quit IRC
