The Artist's Model

Matt Carter, an aspiring 3D animator who has polished off some impressive shorts. Carter also dabbles in photography, photo-manipulation, and some digital works done in Photoshop and Corel Painter IX. His shorts are no longer than 5 minutes long, but contain a strong message or a full story.

An example of a full short from Carter:

While his 2d work is not refined to a render, the outcome is still impressive. It is too detailed to be considered a sketch, too under-refined to be considered a render. Carter's digital pieces appear to be merely concept ideas that were too important for a simple sketch and were transformed into the image of a render in progress. A sample of Carter's 2D work:
