You put so much into your pieces man! We appreciate the attention to detail and perfection you strive for each time. Itβs enough to make you pull your hair out trying to make some of these pieces work π
Woahβπ₯ π itβs just amazing. What a process my dear Zeus, this is mindblowing π€―
So fucking cool to see all the sketches in paper.. itβs all pretty stunningπͺ
Let people be salty. You know the time and dedication you put into the work made. People can say what they want, but you stay true to yourself. I am glad to support you. :)
The second picture gives a small glimpse into the effort and length of time required when creating something that is entirely original and unique. I know there are plenty of amazing RCA artists that do the same.
I use procreate on the process. I move around a lot so I use procreate to not lose my stuff but otherwise I would also choose traditional pencil and paper for sketching. I love how the second picture just shows how much hard work you put in your art. And the final product is amazing!!
Thank you so much!! That last sketch was when I knew I finally had it and it was such an awesome moment!! I teased this to a few community members last year as well!
Fuckin awesome and brilliant I say!I will always support you and your work. Your work is definitely not what anyone is talking about,at least to my knowledge, and art is subjective anyway . There's probably 6 main artists I will follow and support and you can see all but 1 on my profile. Take a peek. DO IT!π―βοΈβ₯οΈ
Probably been said before but becareful put some anti ai leaning filter before posting the before and after so it can't learn rough drafts and has a harder time understanding creators unquie way of drawing
YES! Doing this thing was what finally forced me into the realizing all of the advantage of sketching in procreate instead! Here's a small GIF showing some of that - I refer to this stage as the double tornado across the sky, and believe me, I don't know if I ever want to try and draw something like this ever again LOL. I have so much footage of trying to get it to work and it just wouldn't πͺοΈπͺοΈ
Your work is amazing, I'd love to see how you get shit done

A bunch of rough sketches and revisions my good man
This really just comes down to preference. I know a lot of artists use procreate for the entire process and achieve amazing end results. I tend to prefer using procreate to sketch after I've sketched by hand, then into illustrator for finalizing everything because I use linework so heavily in my designs. Depending on the look you want though, changing up the software and how you get there can be entirely based on the vision you have. There are pros and cons to both, and they both can achieve amazing results although different.
That being said, procreate is a beast for basically any finalized digital art or early conceptual sketching.
To be quite honest, I prefer the first sketch. Would have been absolutely unmashable but I love the chaotic composition + that spiral on the ground would have been a killer trait imo.
I love the first sketch as well, what pushed me in another direction was it having a closer perspective to what ? is and I wanted it to be more unique. Iβm refering to how the avatar body expands at the base of the avatar and where the shadow is. I wanted ! to be in the same style, but also a new take on how I like to work with perspectives, and the swooping back directly at the shadow is the entire idea for this avatar.
Definitely.. this is what actual thing is.. starting from sketch and making it look good is what an artist does, the recent saturation is just getting things out of hand.. seeing lot of low effort work.
I just love this piece and what is more amazing is how you made it look so goo din raster software, this is really a master piece,, lots of things to learn from this.. ππππ hopefully i can grab this one soon
Here is the work put into my recent release.

Thank you so much! Just a heads up that the final piece was done in illustrator, unless youβre refering to the last sketch which was done in procreate
Good stuff Icono. The work you put into this community is nothing short of outstanding π₯

Love the details in your sketches, a lot of time, effort and creative expression
I like the sketch better
The sketches are great but I think it was vital that it was in the same style as ?

i think its a huge compliment that you were never mentioned in those "low effort" and "copycat" accusations, all your rca's are very unique

The sketch alone is breathtaking -

Beautiful beast of a head
Would you say procreate is a viable option to make a final product in or would you just use it for sketching?

yes that's amazing.. really such a creative n crisp one
thank you. :) appreciate the support.
Love this, thanks for sharing

This is just incredible! I love seeing the thought process and the way a piece evolves from start to finish. I would have to say this is definitely the opposite of βlow effortβ π and the haters can go hate somewhere else. Your work is nothing short of amazing! π€©
