I don't have anyhing against it but I'd like to know what you'd like to sculpt and why would you like to use my concept?

Thanks

Nice....

I like your art style....It shows you are very patient with your process.

Connect with me via whatsapp (07031585509)... I might a few tips and advice to share with you.

Are you an artist?

Hi man. I could help with a handful of illustration. I do character designs mostly

Oh you got it all wrong I think.

This thread isn't an advert for anything, I'm just looking to chat with creative people about creative things.
I'm not looking to commission or be commissioned if that's what you're looking for.

Hope you’ve gotten to Finland, it’s saturday and i haven’t gotten your message, hope you safe and everything is ok


We can chat on here if you like
First I really want to know about how you developed such a kin special awareness in your landscape drawings

Sorry man, I've been really busy with work lately and I was actually jyst about to message you but I noticed your whatsapp didn't show up for some reason.
I would prefer whatsapp honestly, we can do calls too if you'd like.

When I first began learning I knew exactly what my main interests were in art and that was designs and accurate perspective.

Many art world people these days view rules and theory as restrictive because you're bound by certain rules but to me using realistic geometry to draw impossible things is what makes it so powerful, I feel kike restrictions are needed in art because that makes us find creative solutions when trying to visualize something while having to play by certai rules.

In storytelling I feel like mixing realism and cartoony styles makes the story and world more believable and immersive, I want the reader to feel like the environments on Mars that I draw would be places that could actually exist in some realm of reality.

I actually started learning through architectural drawing because for me storytelling is about building worlds and simulating reality.

I found old books at a library, in fact I didn't have access to internet for the first 6 months into drawing as I started out in complete isolation and I feel like that has impacted my work a lot because I wasn't really able to reference anything besides written text and what was in my memory.

At first I actually didn't have any art books so I had to figure out how things like perspective and proportikns worked, in a way I had to "invent" the art theory and I feel like that allowed me to really understand it and not just follow rules written in some book.

My anatomy is terrible though and not up to the same standard as perspective, composition etc. but I feel like it doesn't really matter all that much as long as it's plausible because my comic relies so heavily on dialogue and environments instead of character designs, bodily expressions and things like that.

For characters I put a lot of effort into facial expressions and realism when it comes to construction, the characters are aliens anyways so there's not really anatomy to learn for drawing them.

I like using indirect references for learning, for example for composition I didn't study comic composition but instead film cinematography because I feel like the ability to process information and shape it into a different medium is a skill of its own that I want to develop.

Emperordynasty:
Wow these are really great
I can’t believe you are just 22 .although u are a year older than me lol,
Buh seriously I actually followed your post on the travel section but I didn’t comment because it was already filled with a lot of people asking questions not related to the topic..
I’m actually a lover of cultures around the globe just like you


And surprisingly I’m also an illustrator and character designer you can check my profile to see some of my various threads with regards to some of my own stories and designs

And I must confess you draw really well, you art style reminds me of moebius
