Hello, my name is Matt Warde and I'm the webmaster and artist for Supreme Astonia. I'm seventeen years old and a senior in High School. I am 6'0 tall and I have been an artist since I can remember, but haven't ever really been too serious about it until maybe this year. I draw a bunch of fan art for Mercenaries of Astonia, and also draw some of my own creations too. Most of my drawing used to come from school bore time, but now I do more and more at home, and leave studying and paying attention to school. I have been playing computer games for about four years, and have played MOA for around two years. My favorite PC game is Starcraft: Brood War. Strategy is my favorite type of game, but I love RPG's almost as much.

Two years back a few friends of mine introduced me to MOA. They had already been playing for quite some time before, and had ranks as high as Brigadier General.They helped me out a lot when I started out with quests and money and such things. After a few months though, they all stopped playing mercs and ventured off to play games such as Everquest and DAoC. Until last month when my real life best friend Walter started playing again. We have started a clan and are really involved in the game.

I have been creating web sites for probably around two-three years also. I did this mainly with WYSIWYG's though. Some of those included Yahoo Geocities Builder, Homestead Builder, Angelfire builder, and lets not forget Front Page. Now that I have done more learning I do all my designing in basic HTML. I use a nifty program to help me a little. It is called 1st Page 2000 and it resembles Front Page's design, but it is way more powerful. You use all html, and it has a preview option also. I use the easiest setting of the four that 1st page offers. It also holds many created Javascript to use too. Considering that Javascript confuses me, this is a great addition. Download the program online and tell me how you like it.

I do most of my drawings in pencil, and also some in pen. I draw on either a regular drawing pad, or plain notebook paper. After I have finished the pencil drawing I trace it onto tracing paper with a Uniball pen. Then after that dries I proceed to color it with my Prismacolor pencils. I haven't done any computer illustration yet, but if I ever get around to buying Adobe Photoshop then I may just use that. Then after I have finished the color I redraw the lines with the Uniball pen to make it stand out more.

If you have any questions about myself or my artwork please feel free to write me an email. A lot of people ask me how I draw at school and they don't give any specifics to their question, so I usually answer with an, "I dunno". But if you send me an email Ill gladly answer it, to help you out and all. Also if you wish to use any of my art for personal or commercial use please write me an email asking permission for use of it. I work really hard to create all of my original art and I don't need people stealing that hard work of mine. I have no problem letting you, I just want to be given notice.
