Artist's Comments

This was really fun to do. I used the Lasso tool in Photoshop exclusively on two layers of white and back for the most part. I added a type layer and then traced over it so I could give the letters a more raw edge.

It deplicts my character, Sykin, in the video game of the Matrix Online--The message on the billboard was actually something that appeared everywhere in the Matrix during the 'End of Beta' which was right before the official release of the game. I wasn't a Beta player, but I've always been intrigued by that event and thought it was slick.

Nice. Except every time you saw an agent they had a Desert Eagle pointed at your forehead :)

But that's Sykin. Not an Agent. Though the resemblence is always scary... Isn't it? :) Wish I got the chance to experience it all. Then again, Walrus did say that everything during that Beta episode would eventually be in the real game...

Sykin... the motherfucking half demon, who raised from the land of hate and everything that was clean. My doppelganger is coming for you.

This is the world we play in Dave... for it's not the world we made.

The only way it will all become part of the game is if they want everyone to get out of the Matrix. Either the end of the game or an upgrade to a new Matrix world.

Regardless, I like the picture :)

The text is a quote from Raijinn directed at me, right?

More like what appeared on the billboards at the End of Beta. But sure.
