I'll show you everything I do from pencils to inks, from watercolors to markers (Copics being my favorite), from Post-it Note drawings to full comic pages. And I'll talk about my experiences as an artist, both professional and personal.

Can you please give me some tips?! How do you draw the way you do.😮😅
I suppose I need to do a video on the books that have helped me the most.
Al admittedly had a lot of help with backgrounds and inking. He mentions Angelo Torres, Frazetta. They turned out great quality because they were a team and helped each other to deliver the work.
7:20 you're slow because you do not know basic fundamentals. Learn those, you will be faster.
I love your old school style! Thank you for this.
Al Williamson's adaptation of the Flash Gordon movie is possibly my favorite comic of all time, though it's technically a poor adaptation. Williamson famously hated the campy tone of that movie and made his version strictly serious while also accurately adapting the story from the film.
Great redesign of Dart.
Thank you so much!
To be fair, that specific painting is of a scene where Carter covered her with his cape for protection. She's still in the buff aside from jewelry under it.
I did not put together what scene specifically it was depicting. Good observation!
Hi I just met you at the restaurant! I have a decent RUclips following. I’d love to talk to you about maybe doing some designs. Cool stuff
I really love watching these miniature unboxing video's ! This unboxing is amazing.. lots of great looking miniatures in there . hope you do more ..
Good review , good movie got to see it three times .my only regret was the inclusion of Chiren not against the character as the inclusion of a daughter works but the making of her being from Zalem with the mark of Zalem would be better not to have the mark but have it just on Doc Ido . That way we can still have the reveille of the secret of Zalem in later sequels .at the time of the OVA they did not know about the bio chip. And the live movie could have corrected this flaw.. Also don't like having Nova up in Zalem he's not the bad guy ,there is no real bad guy why do movies have to be boiled down to good versus Evi all the time .
Interesting insights. Thanks for sharing them.
Hey Shell, I've been on an Al Williamson binge, and lo and behold, you have video on him :)
Life can be joyously coincidental like that.
Very nice sketch. :) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for commenting!
Finally got around to watching your thoughts on Alita Battle Angel. I agree with most of your points, while it’s interesting to compare manga to film the issue I have is that the stinger ending wasn’t as satisfying. But I appreciate the effort it took in order to adapt the core elements of the story, and I think average audiences will still enjoy it. Overall good to hear your thoughts and while doing face cam.
I didn't mind the stinger ending, but I actually like that sort of end where the main character is determined to do the next big step, and I felt she had overcome enough that the ending didn't feel empty and just leave you longing the way, say, Avengers Infinity War did, where you knew it was half a story and everyone is defeated and you have to wait for the next sequel. But I don't know if I would have felt the same way if that also wasn't where the anime ended. Part of what I love about that movie is how ridiculously close it was to the anime.
1:27 - My prediction: 20 blue crayons, 1 burnt ochre crayon, a stack of magenta post-it notes, 25.3 toothpicks, a "fun-pack" of Elmer's glue. and a green highlighter. Challenge: Create an ice sculpture of the Crystal Palace in London. Edit: I was wrong... Great art, as always!
BWA HA HA HA HA HA. Ah. They'd never give you 20 of one thing. 8 max. But I'm sure that surprise art box has been done somewhere. And I think I own that fun pack of glue, as my son is into the slime craze.
I really like the first piece. I have like one posca pen but I do love the ParKoo acrylic paint pens. :) I will have to check out your stories.
Thank you very much, and I do hope you'll check out my stories sometime. I'm sure you do great work with acrylic paint pens. I just cannot get the hang of them.
First! Personally, I hate when poscas drip.
Thanks for scoping it out! I didn't have too much dripping after that initial burst of black, thankfully. If that had happened on the first paper which was harder to add lots of layers to, I'd've been miffed.
These were some great points, looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for checking it out!
DARK DESERT MOBILE TRAILER ruclips.net/video/ptNcYUW3QpM/видео.html
I like the image of Labyrinth etching the sigils into the door. Do the sigils (Enochian maybe?) actually spell anything out? I am always a bit amused when those kind of elements spell out "Eat at Joe's" etc. (Bonus Question: What are the two symbols in the Ascension Epoch logo and what are their significance?)
The sigils are in fact gibberish that I thought looked cool, although the font is called Enochian. Is it? I don't know. However, you may be surprised to know that the pattern on his cloak are the three hiragana characters in the Japanese word for door, tobira. When I do "generic fantasy decoration" on a character, I like using Japanese characters for a word I can associate with the character so I don't overthink the pattern. Regarding the Ascension Epoch logo, I cannot remember what the symbology for those is called to look them up correctly and link them. I'm completely drawing a blank. But they loosely mean Ascension and Epoch. The second one in particular is a stylization of Saturn for "time."
Great painting! He looks a bit like Richard Basehart to me...
I can see a bit of a resemblance, too. And thanks!
RPGS are my core hobby, and most of my other hobbies informs my gaming on some level. I have been the G< for most every game I play, and I love it! At some point I guess I need to consider putting my advice to new GMs out there somewhere. Gaming needs new faces that want to learn and have fun and less of the hipster crowd that came to change things and dominate the hobby while it is cool.
You know I think that would be awesome, and I fully encourage it.
30:11 That riding turtle is awesome! And the crab rider at 32:53 is cool as well. The "Underdark" and sci-fi stuff are very visually interesting.
It is exceedingly difficult to not love every mini I encounter...
The Chibis are pretty cool looking - like heavily armed Precious Moments figurines. I thought I caught Mike say something about not getting new figures until he had painted his old ones, but that can't be true. That would be crazy talk!
'Tis the curse of all gamers. But what would one do if all thine minis were painted? That is a madman's fever dream.
More Ruby! So the IMPS are going to be in the the EER stories? Good to know.
I have so, so many in-progresses with them... ...we just need to finish one.
Are we to see Ruby and the IMPS crew in a book soon? I know they are in the Bexim's strip, in a sense, but would like to see them in their modern incarnation.
still catching up on videos. This is a very encouraging and practical story Thanks for sharing it. Also, Cascade is lovely - too bad she's a baddie. I guess she has her reasons...
While composing my comment I just saw the sketchy stuff at the end. This reminds me of some of the drawings players would make while I was DMing... Very cool stuff.
Awesome! Great to watch your process. Thanks for sharing.
It's Christmas in June....2020. (I am getting caught up on vids.)
I like that piece of art - and the story. Meteora looks adorable in this - Alan is a goof - a well-meaning goof, but a goof nonetheless.. "Merry and Bright" works well, since she is so bubbly and he...well, is lit-up.
Thanks for the heaping of compliments! Yeah, I was really proud of the title, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I love how the drawing turned out. It has a flaw here and there, but that's art for ya. And Atomic Ranger is really fun to color. The story is more laid back and introspective, but that's gotta happen sometimes. Heroes can't always be saving the world. (Although I do have an excellent story with Labyrinth and a holiday get-together being crashed for a future video.) I really enjoyed writing it, and reading it with Mike, so I'm really glad you enjoyed it, too. Hope you have an awesome day! And maybe a little Christmas in July, since that's when I'm responding.
Poor Meterora! Also, I think one of your cats is Peter Lorre.
Poor Meteora?! Poor Allen! He just wants to be left alone and she just keeps bugging him! ...Right? One of these days I'll finally get his origin novella wrapped up. Meteora factors prominently in it. These are fun characters to write. Thanks so much for watching, and even moreso for commenting! And Peter Lor-- I mean, Algernon says thanks, too!
19:46 Daft Punkins! Very cool.
I thought that was the funniest thing! I... love puns too much. Thank you for loving puns, too.
I like the digital version largely because of the coliseum graffiti.
That's a very big draw for me, too.
The cat doth protest too much.
I have to agree, he's pretty AH! WHAT?! *Cat grabs keyboard* Now listen here, you! I am a warrior, and I have traveled many lands and felled many foes! I AM THE MANITOBA! And I can tell you, there is hardly a creature that is as much an abomination as the mermaid! THEY ARE NOT RIGHT! AND I... HEY! *Presto scruffs cat, sits back down* Sorry about that. Yes, Winky is very opinionated. I hope he did not ruin your enjoyment of the drawing video.
You've really captured Chemistra's "What? Me, guilty?" essence in this picture.
Thank ye kindly! That is EXACTLY what I was going for, so I'm glad it came through!
@SirHandsome100 "Chemistra, Mistress of Molecules." She appoints herself a member of the Challenger Foundation even though she's a convicted criminal on a lengthy confinement to protective custody. She is intensely disliked by Ephemera and Bulwark. Much of the next book centers around her arc of finally realizing that what she did was bad, and making some kind of amends for that.
Great coloring and shading! And congrats to your kickstarter project! All the best in this crazy time, Thomas :-)
Thanks so much! You've been belting out some impressive stuff during self isolation, too!
@@ShellPrestoDiBaggio yes, I took advantage of the time spent at home. Never thought I would have time for all this stuff in June, summer season but this year has a lot of twists and turns. All the best, Thomas
Machen's _The Great God Pan_ is on my short list of stuff to read. By the way, I am almost done with _Dismal Tide_ , so all I have left is _Salamander Six_ . I am very much enjoying the Ascension Epoch and I am looking forward to Dauntless!
Hopefully we'll be putting out content more regularly so you won't have to wait too long between bites. I'm super-glad to hear you're enjoying it!
Very interesting discussion of this topic. I am very astonished creators haven't gotten fired up about the open source nature of the Ascension Epoch stuff.
Great video. Can't wait for my copy. Keep up the good work
Looking forward to sending it out! Thanks for your support.
Let me state for the record, I don't disagree with the content discussed in this video. A lot of it is very interesting and on point. But I think it's important to understand that copyright law is a legal and business construct and as another source of revenue for the government. It is not for the promotion of the arts. But the laws are flawed and in need of refinement. Also, as it pertains to artists and writers, one of the ways to protect yourself and your work (not just from others stealing it) is to copyright your work and only publish through your own publishing company. It's probably best if the publishing company is as an LLC or other type of corporation. This affords the creators the most legal protections. There is much more to this subject than just copyright laws themselves. All creators, be them artistic or writers, should familiarize themselves with state and federal laws before deciding to copyright their work through the U.S. Copyright Office or using a Creative Commons license or forming a publishing company .
A fine and well-thought addition to the discussion. I agree that the decision of whether to copyright or go CC must be carefully weighed -- in the next video (which I think comes out today... we did 3 with Kim Holm), he says something to the effect is that a bridge is needed for copyright law, and that CC is a rowboat. There's no perfect or one-size-fits-all answer. But I think the more creators know about Copyright, Trademark, Creative Commons, and Public Domain, the better off they will be regardless. If an artist is going the Copyright route, publishing through themselves is the best deal from a keeping-your-rights perspective. Weighing your rights against your immediate and potential profits is an important part of any artist's decisions. Thank you for adding to the conversation.
@@ShellPrestoDiBaggio thank you! - Len
I love the linework and composition of the cover. Lovely to see your husband's face too. All the best for your kickstarter!
Aww, shucks! Thanks!
Thanks so much! I've really been trying to push my illustrations further, so I'm glad that shines through. The Kickstarter funded, which is great. Now we're trying to hit stretch goals. Thanks for watching and commenting, and I hope you have an awesome day!
Thanks for all the advice and motivation. I also enjoyed the manga and anime references haha. Haven't heard of that other Rumiko Takahashi manga, so I'll have to look into it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
wish i had your skills very creative awesome share!
Thanks so much for the compliment, and for checking out my channel. Drawing is a skill you develop -- I've been doing it for more than 30 years now. That may sound daunting, but I tell people that to reinforce that no matter what your skill level, if you devote practice to it, you will get better. Good drawing is not unobtainable, and with things like RUclips to help us learn these days, it's easier than ever to figure out what you find difficult. Or, in other words, if you want to make awesome art, keep drawing!
I’m sad that I missed this in theaters, but very happy to have it in my movie collection. Such a fun movie with a lot of great world building and lore. The story was fun, though it’s definitely a lot of set up. If they don’t make a sequel it’ll always feel like an incomplete story, which kinda sucks. I enjoyed hearing your take on it! I actually reviewed this not long ago myself. Great review!
I would so mark out for a Santo vs Bulwark story! I love the idea that Santo is running around in the Ascension Epoch universe. To the questions - My favorite wrestler is Askuka at present. She's very funny in real life and a great wrestler. Becky Lynch when she was a steampunk was also awesome.
It's not THE El Santo, but, yeah, Santo Caballero is definitely our wink wink and a nod to him. I love those movies to bits. Also, congrats! You won the contest! I'll hit you up on MeWe though for your addy. I've never actually seen Asuka in a match, although I've seen her in gifs before, if that counts as anything. The only super-modern wrestling I've been watching is Lucha Underground, mainly because I don't have cable.
Great video! Kim is an interesting artist and has a pretty cool outlook on his work. I look forward to you guys putting stuff onto DTRPG, as I shop there frequently.
He's a pretty cool dude, indeed! He'll be on at least two more times. We'll talk copyright and creative commons on the next two.
Fantastic interview/roundtable with Kim... really enjoyed seeing the examples of his artwork and learning about his process. His story is humble yet inspiring for artists striving to find their place.
I like his accidental success, and that he didn't give up drawing. Truly inspiring.
Another great discussion 😎👍
Glad you tuned in!
Nice stuff! I never used guidelines to straighten with a rotation transform, I always just used the ruler tool over two points on a horizontal line on the drawing, then used image, rotate, arbitrary, and ps straightens it. It is nice to know an alternative. I also never considered using erasable color pencils, and using actions saved to remove them from under inks after scanning. Erasing pencils is always a pain.
Back in the day, I could never get the ruler tool to come out perfectly straight. Picky of me, I know, but this works best for me; and that's kind of how art works. It's not always about what's "right" just "what works/what we individually like." I'm happy to say I usually don't erase anymore, so saving that one step is pretty big for me.
Love the Gullivar Jones image! Flying carpets need to make a comeback in this fallen age of fantasy.
Thank you and I agree! And I'll be posting footage from that image, too.
