VENT - Messiah
Some of you may have seen this piece before, but I’m reposting it since VENT is now available in stores.
VENT is a 248-page anthology/art book collecting original pinups, stories and tutorials from everybody at UDON. I myself did the above pinup(of my personal story idea “Messiah”), showed some of my own character designs, and then did a tutorial on drawing chibi-robots. If any of that interests you please check out VENT at your local comic shop, or pre-order the book on amazon.com for jsut $26.39(best price anywhere!). If you like other anthologies like ROBOT, APPLE, or FLIGHT, you’ll love VENT.

I picked up a hardcover copy at PAX and I can say that it’s an extremely well done collection. I highly recommend it and I’ll definitely be checking out the work of some of the other artists that I’m not as familiar with, especially after getting ServBot sketch in the deal. Keep up the great work.
September 13th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
So that’s what the left side of the May 12th pic was from (the red head with the gas mask). I thought both sides were your take on Transformers: Masterforce characters at the time. Nice. What’s the right side of the May 12th pic from? Or are you still working on that piece?
September 13th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
@Grimmjow: the right side is my Chibi robots tutorial from the same book
September 14th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Grimmjow: The other side of that head is the face of the guy in thye background. he’s still got the sideways teeth/fangs.
September 14th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Nevermind, I lied
September 15th, 2010 at 10:49 am
So THAT’S what that mysterious preview image a while back was!
…I have no idea who these characters… oh, wait, that’s because they’re original… whoops.
September 24th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
nice to see a new strip matt, ill be sure to keep an eye out if its in the UK (and if so what would the price roughly be?) oh and ive put capital B’s in mah name now
September 28th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Hmm… looks like this site is dying. I’ll keep checking back over the next week or so, but not really seeing a reason to keep it bookmarked.
October 16th, 2010 at 10:17 am
I hope the next one would be about that time bumblebee crashed with the police unit.
October 20th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
i didn’t notice before, but that sword guy with the french beard is actually u, Matt!
October 20th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Um… Matt? U SHOULD MAKE A MESSIAH BOOK!!! I’m not kidding. Seriously, draw a book and get it PUBLISHED!!! U are a great artist, and my role model!!!
P.S.— It would be cool to include a Messiah drawing guide at the end. Just a suggestion!
October 24th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Um, are Lilformers still going? It’s been like a month and a half since some form of update!
October 29th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
So that’s a no?
October 30th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Nothing wrong with a little Author Cameo, helps the process if one is writing about what they love after all!
November 1st, 2010 at 5:26 am
I’m really starting to miss my weekly fix of Lil’Formers.
I for one am still hoping that Matt will find the time in his busy schedule to do these again.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:13 pm
You OK Matt?
November 8th, 2010 at 5:38 am
…watches as tumbleweed passes by…
November 8th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Have you thought of putting out a book with the Lil Formers collection? Hope all is well and looking forward to your next project.
November 8th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Anyone else a bit worried for Mr. Matt? Emailed him to check in at least a couple of weeks ago with no response, no updates of any kind here. Anyone know anyone that’s heard something from or about him?
November 10th, 2010 at 2:09 pm

November 13th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Thank you, that explains it well. Glad to hear something that says Matt’s alright then.
November 15th, 2010 at 7:17 am
I am very happy for Matt. the guy deserves all the succes in the world. But without my steady dose of Lil’Formers, my monday mornings are totally out of whack.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:13 pm

WHERE MAH COMIC?!
November 19th, 2010 at 3:23 am
I keep coming back, after the promise that there’d be at least some content every so often… but its two months now.
November 20th, 2010 at 4:33 am
R.I.P Matt Moylan. May his comic strips rest in peace.
Ink to ink, paper to paper, we now condemn this web comic to the shadowy depths of internet obscurity. May it be at peace with “Them Funny Bots”, “The Juggernauts” and “Naruto: The Abridged series”.
Amen
November 21st, 2010 at 3:09 am
Matt? You know it’s been 2 months right? I know you got a promotion or something but 2 months?
November 21st, 2010 at 8:24 pm
uhh… people… he’s not dead. He set the weekly updates aside and focus on real life stuff.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:40 am
You know guys, your nagging isn’t making it real inviting for Matt to do a comic here anytime soon… So please, SHUT IT!!!
November 27th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I hope your Thanksgiving was good and that you will have a great Xmas.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Guys Seriously, it really really does help if you Look at his Blog on this site, He did say he has a life. Considering he does have a position in UDON
for all we know he could be working on a Lilformers Book or somin. so as Raymond T said
SHUT IT!!!
December 11th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
can you make more?!! we’re waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 12th, 2010 at 12:35 am
Dudes and Dudettes, please! Give Matt a break will ya.
December 12th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
To BoredomBot & Sapphire Wolf; doesn’t the drop off of questioning, worrying, and minor complaining after Raymond’s mention pretty much say it’s shut, and that we’re giving Mattdawg a break? (giobanni aside
)
December 14th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Hope you are enjoying your break man.
December 14th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Hi. Nice looking art you have here.
December 16th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
come on matt do another!!!!!!!!!!!
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:40 am
Not even an xmas strip? Awww….
December 27th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
yup, seems so. RIP lil’formers, you were funny until Matt turned into a grown up and abandoned that which made him cool.
December 29th, 2010 at 9:26 am
Maybe if people stopped bitch about doing a new one and just supported him, we’d have a new comic right….
December 30th, 2010 at 11:48 am
HAPPY NEW YEAR DUDE
Hope you are enjoying your break.
December 31st, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Ray T, seriously dude, do you really think that if people dont complain or say anything hes going to gift you with a script like Santa? They make pills for that man. Matts stuff is seriously awesome, and with the current interest in so many more 80’s cartoons right now its sad we havent seen any in awhile.
December 31st, 2010 at 6:56 pm
First of all, Matt DID say something… http://www.lilformers.com/index.php/2010/08/23/lil-formers-200-the-end-again/
Second, this is HIS site. We are the guests on it. No one has the right to demand anything from him! You don’t go up to a friend’s house uninvited and demand to be entertained either. Or tell people someone is dead, just because no one opened the door when you rang the door bell.
This site is Matt’s world. His home, his rules. A little respect for that is the least to ask for from anyone. You don’t pay to be on this site, Matt has not sold his services to you, he doesn’t owe anyone anything. So you have no right to complain what so ever.
He is busy with bigger and better things right now. If he decides to pick up where he left off, it is his choice to do so, not yours or mine. Go make your own cartoon and run your own site, if you want your fix…
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:24 am
Kremo: First… READ THE LINK!!!!
Second: That’s for him to decide, and none of our business! Especially not when people keep pestering him about it. Matt doesn’t owe you anything. And certainly not when or if he should update this place. If you guys keep nagging on here, than I can imagine that you guys are sucking the joy right out of this place for him.
Be thankful and grateful that he created this place at all. Be happy for Matt that he has been given the chance to work on something that is his passion and is able to make his breadwinning out of.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:37 pm
““world” ruler just goes away without saying something?”
Was the last strip titled “THE END” too subtle?
I do miss the strip, but matt is occupied elsewhere. I keep this link bookmarked and check in about once a month. And yah, considering TF: prime debuted it would have been nice to get some strips centered around that, But life has other plans. I hope the strip returns in some form or another, perhaps a penny arcade esque graphic novel with creator commentary? but if it never does, matt owes nobody here anything. it started out as a hobby, unpaid and for fun, and now matt needs to focus on other things. Just be thankful the strip existed, and be a grateful fan and wish him well and offer him your support.
Happy new year matt. We all miss you and wish you well. Dont forget about us, and be sure to wear clean underwear and call once in a while. even though life does go on, we still miss you in this part of the web.
End of line.
January 4th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
I apologise as well.
Next time for me, NEVER feed the whiners.
January 4th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
I still pass this site every monday or tuesday like clockwork. Last two or three weeks it was a bit more, because I was trying to convince a few people to do a similar comic for my own site, which at the moment is still dead silent.
It’s a real crying same when these talented artists pass on doing a weekly or bi-weekly comic (not just for my site, but for any site), because comments like those mentioned before scare them off…
January 4th, 2011 at 10:07 pm
Raymond, I think I now recall you from a few arguments regarding the whole TF movie franchise when it was first hitting and the ‘dom’ was really hitting the ‘fan’, so to speak.
Regardless, while I’ve seen your point in replies to some of the VERY low level ‘bitching’ you’ve spoken of, and yes quite clearly have read the link of Matt’s, at this point I think his FANBASE deserves, well, SOMETHING.
Yes, it’s his site. Yeah, it’s HIS time taken to make a toon for it. Sure, he’s said he wouldn’t be doing so much of a weekly Lilformers now that he’s hit over two hundred and has other stuff going on he’d like to focus on.
HOWEVER! I would certainly like to point out exactly WHAT it is he ALSO said..
From Matt; “Am I retiring Lil Formers? Well no… but I am putting the weekly strip schedule aside so I can focus on other things.
“I will be doing more Lil Formers strips I’m sure, just not on every Monday like in the past. I will though be doing more blog posts where I dig up old Lil Formers art, talk about projects I’m working on, or maybe just post something I drew that day. So if you come back every week, there should be soemthing nifty for you to check out. I’ve even got a strip idea for next so, who knows…maybe I won’t escape so easily heh.”
That doesn’t really imply a FOUR MONTH VOID without a blog entry, and update on how things are going for him, a lack of new strip, or..well….ANYTHING! Unless there’s a separate blog to be aware of, Matt’s been silent for some time now. Casual Lilformer fans are fiending for one of the more quick, smart & enjoyable little comics out there, hardcore fans are desperate for that and more in regards to Matt & what’s going on with him.
And we’re left in the dark. This site, the strip, and now the fanbase Matt decided to feed & develop are all left neglected. Don’t try to tell us there isn’t a sense of entitlement to be had. If you create a social group, do it right. And as Kremo has pointed out, something indeed HASN’T been said. Certainly not past what I just quoted, which left huge promises of things to come - Lilformers-specific or not.
Matt rocks, Lilformers kick ass, but we’ve seen & heard nothing on either in a long period of time. At this point, I’d stop hoping for another strip and start wondering if Mr. Moylan’s okay!
January 5th, 2011 at 2:56 am
I’m sorry to say this, Covenant. But so what?! I don’t care if its a 4 week void, a 4 month void or a 4 year void. Bitching and nagging about a new comic isn’t helping.
I am not against people wanting to know what’s going on. But there is a big difference between people asking about what the future holds and people demanding there be a new comic. Look at it from Matt’s point of view. It just comes across like this.
Matt: “Hey guys, I’m a bit busy right now. Found myself a dreamjob, and I’m getting married soon!”.
Fans: “Yeah-yeah, whatever, don’t care… Make us a new comic-strip NOW!!!”
January 11th, 2011 at 12:55 am
Ya know Ray T., instead of what youre fearing, what if you attacking EVERY OTHER fan on here and saying what they think doesnt matter is what drives Matt off in the end. Surely youre not so conceited as to think you know what he is thinking are you?
The end all point is this, nobody was happy that the original Transformer series flamed out, and the Japanese continuation while interesting held very little for continuity. So if its over say its over, but dont tease. Thats what everyone wants.
January 11th, 2011 at 4:07 am
ME LIKE G1 SERIES, JAPANESE CONTINUITY SUCKS. ME THINK JAPANESE TOTALLY RUIN G1 SERIES. ME NEED COMFORTING CAUSE ME SAD

January 11th, 2011 at 9:49 am
I’m a long time reader of the site and really like Matt’s stuff.
For me the biggest questions are simple ones:
1) Has anyone heard from Matt recently?
2) Is he ok?
January 15th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
His deviantart page would seem to indicate he’s fine, this site has just been abandoned..
http://mattmoylan.deviantart.com/
January 17th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
abandoned being the appropriate term. But hey, we’re transformers fans, we’re used to getting screwed over.
January 21st, 2011 at 7:02 am
>I am not against people wanting to know what’s going on. But there is a big difference between people asking about what the future holds and people demanding there be a new >comic. Look at it from Matt’s point of view. It just comes across like this.
>Matt: “Hey guys, I’m a bit busy right now. Found myself a dreamjob, and I’m getting married soon!”.
>Fans: “Yeah-yeah, whatever, don’t care… Make us a new comic-strip NOW!!!”
You can be a fan of his comic AND NOT of his personal life.
Casual view: “Guy make a comic strip or I help someone else who IS needy of a fanbase and posts regularly.
Hardcore fan: “Hello? Is there anybody? Why don’t you talk to us? Did we do something wrong?”
Raymond T. crawling up his §$%& and sucking up to him will not make him fall in love with you or make him tell you that you are his only true best friend/whatever.
At the moment Matts behaviour is that of a movie star that after he reached the top doesn’t care about the people who either helped him on his way or did so through watching his movies and being a fan.
At least he is not starting to complain around.. (like all the stars who knew what was the trade-off of being famous).
But, for myself I know one thing:
Someone who can’t even write a sentence that “it’s over” shouldn’t wander when I will absolutely not consider giving him work or buying his art.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:02 am
BBL, I never said I was friends with Matt or said anything that would get me any leg up with him. I am also not the one here comparing Matt with a Hollywood Movie Star…
I’m not saying that we should all show an automatic interrest in Matt’s personal life. I’m just saying that it is bullcrap that people think Matt owes us anything. And when he tries to share something with us, like him getting married, but the response is ‘we want comics’. That’s just rude, and I can imagine that such a response doesn’t exactly inspire him, or anyone, to continue with something like this.
Lil’Formers is something he did in his free time, all at his own expense. Now if we were paying to be on this site, you might have a point. But this is just is own little space on the web. If his personal life is at a stage where there is no room to update this site… For whatever the reason may be… Then we should all be gracious enough that he did these comics when he did. If he stops updating here, well that’s unfortunate, but tough luck for us. Deal with it…
January 26th, 2011 at 3:56 pm
I miss Matt!
it would be nice if we got at least an update
February 12th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
Lol, i kinda forgot about this place, being caught up with school work, And i thought, Well i should go over the ones he has done, some of them are really funny…Raymond, I wouldn’t mind helping you with your comics, my art isn’t the best but it would give me something to do.
February 15th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
@ BoredomBot; At the moment I am waiting for my webmaster to work through some personal issues, before he will update our site into something workable. At the moment I still can’t do with it what I want it do do. Once it is up and running, I am just looking for a few guys to help make it come alive. I’m not looking for the most professional stuff, or the best of the best… Just a bunch of people who want to help create something from our hearts. Something that people can take pleasure from, in just being part of it.
Mail me at Raymond-T@spacestation-online.com. It might be a while before we can finally get the site working the way we want it to work, but maybe we can kick a few ideas around.
February 28th, 2011 at 5:46 pm

Nice weblog right here! Also your website quite a bit up very fast! What web host are you the usage of? Can I get your associate hyperlink to your host? I desire my web site loaded up as fast as yours lol
