Matt Herms has been a professional illustrator since 2004, doing conceptual, promotional and interactive artwork for video games, magazines, conventions and toy companies as well as his longest passion: comic books, most notably as a penciler and colorist for the all-ages hits Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man, and most recently as colorist for Red Circle Comics' The New Crusaders . Matt’s clients include Archie Comics, Hasbro toys, SoMoGa Games, Snafu Comics, Angry Viking Press, and more!

Matt currently lives with his wife Karen just outside of Houston, TX.
...Buh... So I guess I chose a heck'uva week to come back to Deviant. ^_^; Just after I started posting again, I caught one massively lame summer bug. On the second day of antibiotics and already feeling a world of difference - especially after carrying a high fever for about four days straight. But now I'm already playing more catch-up.

If you've e-Mailed me via my personal/work e-Mail (mattherms@hotmail.com) - either about commissions or just to say hi/ask a question... I will be getting back to you soon. Sorry 'bout the wait. This flu really knocked me on my butt this last week!

Meanwhile, I made a few more additions to the Gallery last night. I created a folder for Level-Up Studios, a T-Shirt and gaming pop culture merch website/designer run by *StacMaster-S that I've done a little bit of work for on shirts inspired by Halolz.com. Also another big update to my Archie Comics folder, featuring a few of my favorite interior pages from the last few issues of Sonic the Hedgehog, with commentary. AND a first look from Mega Man #1! Enjoy!!

// CURRENTLY WORKING ON...
- Sonic the Hedgehog #227: Genesis, Part 2 (colors)
- Mega Man #4: Let the Games Begin, Part 4 (colors)
- unannounced project
- Overdue commissions! ^_^;

// COMMISSIONS (closed)
Unfortunately, due to my current workload and my desperate need to catch up with already active commissions, I am not currently accepting any work. A full list of active (both still being worked on and completed, awaiting pick-up) commissions will be coming soon. In the meanwhile, if you have inquiries on your status please contact me at mattherms@hotmail.com and I will get back to you ASAP.

Currently, I'm on schedule to wrap up all existing commission by the end of the summer. Will update you guys if and when I begin accepting new clients.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Oops... *edit* I meant "coloring" not "inking". I know those are two different things. Derp...

Holy moly! I just realized you are the same age as ME! I always thought you were older, because...you are so GOOD! I mean it. When I read a Sonic comic, it's always made so much better by your inking. The artist could be one that I don't like that much, but if you color it, it makes them a little better. My favorite team is you and Stephen Butler. "Reigning Cats and Dogs" was one of the best because of the art. So thanks, so much for that... (You and Tracy Yardly are a good team too.) Keep up the awesomeness!

The way you do comics is incredible. You're a real professional, and It's an honor to watch you make them.

ONCE
THERE
WAS
A
LITTLE
GIRL
CALLED
CLARISSA,
SHE
WAS
10
YEARS
OLD
AND
SHE
LIVED
IN
A
MENTAL
HOSPITAL,
BEACUSE
SHE
KILLED
HER
MUM
AND
DAD.








SHE
GOT
SO
BAD
SHE
STARTED
TO
KILL
ALL
THE
STAFF
IN
THE
HOSPITAL
SO
THE
GOVERMENT
DECIDED
THAT
THE
BEST
IDEA
WAS
TO
GET
RID
OF
HER
SO
THEY
SET
UP
A
SPECIAL
ROOM
TO
KILL
HER,
AS
HUMANE
AS
POSSIBLE
BUT
IT
WENT
RONG
THE
MACHINE
THEY
WERE
USEING
WENT
WRONG.








AND
SHE
WAS
SAT
THERE
IN
AGONY
FOR
HOURS
UNTILL
SHE
FINALLY
DIED.








NOW
EVERY
WEEK
ON
THE
DAY
OF
HER
DEATH
SHE
RETURNS
TO THE
PERSON
THAT
READS
THIS
LETTER,
ON
A
MONDAY
NIGHT
AT
12:00
SHE
KREEPS
INTO
YOUR
ROOM
AND
KILLS
YOU,
BUT
SLOWLY
AND
PAINFULLY
SLOWLY
CUTTING
DIFFRENT
PARTS
OF
UR
BODY
THEN
WATCHES
YOU
BLEED
TO
DEATH
IF
YOU
DONT
SEND
THIS
TO
20
PEOPLE
BY
MIDNIGHT
SHELL
BE
COMEING
TO KILL
YOU!
SEND
IT
SO
SHE
HAS
ANOTHER
LOAD
OF
PEOPLE
TO
GET
AND
FORGETS
ABOUT
YOU
DONT
BELVE ME
HEY?

EXAMPLE
1:
JENNY
DIDNT BELIVE THIS AND DELETED IT WITHOUT EVEN READING THE WHOLE THING! A FEW DAYS LATER ON THE MONDAY NIGHT SHE WAS WOKEN UP BYE LOUDE FOOTSTEPS AND HEAVY BREETHING THERE WAS CLARISSA STANDING THERE WITH A HUGE KNIFE AND WELL JENNY IS HISTORY NOW.









EXAMPLE
2:
TOM
ONLY SENT IT TO 5 PEOPLE CUZ HE THOUGHT HED BE SAFE AND IT WAS PROBLY JUST A JOKE BUT OH HOW RONG WAS HE! HE DIED THE NEXT NIGHT ON MONDAY AND ILL TELL YA NOW IT WASNT PRETTY(JUST CUZ HE SENT FIVE HE DIDNT COMPLETE THE TASK)

EXAMPLE
3:
JOEANNA
