This is a beautiful tribute to Arin and his roots in NG. Metal Gear Awesome was one of the first animations I showed friends when it came out. Arin may never know how many people he inspired to do art. I hope he sees pieces like this, though, and feels inspired.
Good work at getting character likenesses and references all into one composition. The expressions here are great.
Thank you very much!
Can't wait to see where you will go. Digital art is a huge hill to climb but it has its moments where you can take a break and relax.
I'll keep that in mind
Fantastic line work!
Very clean and clear design. Great expression. The texture on just the lip is a nice touch.
The smile at the top is excellent. Very cool atmosphere. No words are needed to tell the character actions. Great work.
Thank you! There are words for the page, I just haven't finalised the script yet
That feeling is hell. Everyday you think about the possibility of years of study, blood and tears are rendered irrelevant. The idea is alarming, the fact that you can't get back your time is terrifying, and the very thought of giving up again haunts me.
But you are not alone. Artists will be the ones who make AI suitable, and they will also be the ones that show that it's not as good as we are. You have so much more to offer, and the only way to see that is to keep climbing.
thank you so much for your message, i really appreciate it in these times!
Your homie should be proud. This piece feels in universe and hits with nostalgic themes from media such as Clerks, Superbad, and Workaholics. I have never seen this image but I have been here before.
I remember almost peeing myself multiple times because I didn't want to stop playing this damn game. I thought I was a puyo God. Years later, Puyo Puyo Tetris came out with online on the Vita (God im a dinosaur) and I realized that didn't stand a chance. This is important because I felt magic once and looking at this made me feel it again.
16 hours? Wow. This is the kind of dedication that keeps me going.
Thanks DeadSM and also thanks so much for becoming a patron!. I'd say that's an average for me with this type of illustrations. Considering these have several nudes and alts... It's definitely an upgrade from the time I used to spend 60 hours on a single piece lol
Do something nice today. It's incredible to see so many people using what little time they have to create something and share it.
Whatever you do, don't give up.
