Hello, my name is Matthew Ryan and I am an Illustrator. Having graduated in 2009 with a BA Hons in Illustration from the University for the Creative Arts in Maidstone, I was keen to develop a career as an Illustrator. My intention was to specifically focus on the area of comic books and concept design, however I feel I should not just limit myself to these two areas and instead have looked at all types of visual narrative work. Currently I am working with a client on a comic series, but I am looking for any other work that would fit into my spare time.

My strengths lie in my idea generation, allowing me to come up with a variety of designs in order to explore the client's brief thoroughly. I would like to think that this includes exciting and creative solutions that stand out thanks to my unique style of illustrating. My most recent commission a has been for several Role Playing adventure books titled "Alien Earth", which has included designing original characters and objects alongside illustrating them. These have included tribes, armour, weapons, vehicles, animals, monsters and robots to name a few; which are all fantasy and science-fiction based.

I have created dozens of variations for each in order to produce the best design and illustrations possible; and whilst several of the descriptions have been quite challenging I have managed to work my way through them so that the client was extremely happy. Previous commissioned work has included five comic pages and one cover for internet comic book company Rocket Galaxy Comics.

Specialities:
• Genres: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Military, Modern day...
• Concept Design
• General Illustrations
• Comics and Storyboards
• Characters (Faces, Clothing...)
• Vehicles (Ground Vehicles, Planes, Ships, Spacecraft, Mecha...)
• Creatures (Animals, Monsters, Aliens)
• Weapons, Armour and other equipment

I hope to hear from you soon.

Current Project:

The brief for this project required me to design powered armour, tribes, vehicles, weapons and creatures that would represent different areas and groups of a post-post apocalyptic world.
