klikkat asked:

I just beat the Riven Remake and I loved its feel and artistry. You and the crew did a great job on it! One thing I've never understood, though: how did you learn D'ni back in the 90's? I've never known how that conlang was shared in those days, and even after reading the novels I still have no idea how to use the language. I'd love to learn more about the setting beyond the books and games!

Aw gosh, thanks so much for the kind words! ♥️

SO there were some fan-made online resources (Kh'reestrehfah’s D'ni Dictionary has been around since the year 2000, amazingly), and most importantly for me there was a D'ni language & grammar primer in the From Myst to Riven art book:

Along with that there were scattered online resources from Cyan themselves, or RAWA (Richard Watson, game designer at Cyan back in the day) would discuss the language and release new materials in CyanChat or the Riven Lyst, the ancient chatrooms/mailing lists for the fandom at the time.

If you want to learn the D'ni conlang nowadays, there are tons of resources out there: a good starting point would be the Guild of Archivists’ pages on D'ni language and grammar, and there’s a linguistics channel in the official Cyan Discord where you can ask pretty much anything and everything and someone’ll point you in the right direction.

Hope that’s helpful! 😄📖✒️

Matt Johnson Plays Himself: a poster design featuring Matt Johnson, director, in the foreground, as he looks on at his three fictional movie roles: Matt Johnson in The Dirties, Matt Johnson in Operation Avalanche, and Matt Johnson in Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. Each one is backed by their respective movie credit. The cord from NTBTSTM winds through the entire composition, tying them all together.ALT
Detail: Matt Johnson in Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. He's perched at the top of the CN tower, wind in his hair.ALT
Detail: Matt Johnson in The Dirties. It's the end of the film, as Matt prepares for his final movie, duffel bag in hand.ALT
Detail: Matt Johnson in Operation Avalanche. It's from the end of the film: he stands bedraggled and exhausted, carrying his camera and an unspooling film reel.ALT
Detail: Matt Johnson, director. You're seeing him from the back, face hidden, iPad at his side. Undeniably recognizable rolled up sweatpants and headband are in play.ALT

matt johnson ntbts ntbtstm nirvanna the band the show operation avalanche the dirties my art a troika of matt johnsons +1 I had this idea a couple weeks ago and thought “hahahah no that's insane” but I couldn't stop slowly hacking away at it so here we are I haven't drawn this many flared jeans since I was doing furry commissions in the mid-2000's

fifeonmars asked:

i was so shocked at how good those Matt likenesses were until i saw that you were the artist. I’m not any less impressed, i just know you’re like, an Understander of Shapes and maybe the only one up to the task of wrangling all that

HA, that’s very kind of you to say! I hope it’s somewhat reassuring to know that I have a folder in my layers panel just called “BAD” where I dump all the terrible drawings and false starts I make on the way of getting to the good ones 😅
