i am an aspiring game designer/character concept artist. this is such excellent reference material. i will definitely be getting this. thank you for the recommendation.
Quite elegant how this book presents simple shapes to construct the body and others elements. If you want a book that goes deeper into the structure of the body, I highly recommend "Animation Human Body Structure Expression Techniques Special Training". A mouhtful, it's a book in Chinese but it's so well present you don't need to read or translate text.
In korean this book is out of print now(still in stock in some stores) TACO Said he thinks this book is not organized well, but he might release a renewal in unforseen (not near) future, perhaps also with English version?
It really is amazing. Honestly amongst all my art books. It is my most favorite. There’s something about the simplicity of it as well that just brings out the beauty of the artwork, and makes it a wonderful resource for me as an artist. If you can get your own copy sometime you should definitely add it to your collection Also, what I really like about it is the form factor. It’s such a satisfying, booked a hold lol.!
im so glad you enjoyed it! It's such an awesome book. I just posted a new video today about the 3rd book. These are literally my favorite art books and I refer to them often when I'm trying to improve so I hope they're helpful to you!
Believe me, I know the feeling. But, it's all within your grasp, dude, believe me. I'm here to cheer you on-all artists started the same way and you can too if you continue to learn and stay committed. <3 <3 <3 YOU CAN DO IT
Nobody gets attached to "universes" in stories, they get attached to characters IN those universes. I feel this is one of those things that some writers and fans alike overcomplicate for any number of reasons (the "why" isn't important).
I agree with you (no, I have some nuanced points to make below), but that wasn’t the point I was making in this little short. I was talking about character arcs -- unless you just wanted to make a point. I will say, however, that I think it’s a little more nuanced than that for statement. I think people do fall in love with universes and mechanics but that alone can’t sustain their love… it’s always the characters first. And the point you’re making is proven by how difficult it is to make sequel series with new characters in the same universe. The universe itself cannot guarantee that fans will love it.
@@FluxDestiny More of making a point. I wanted to focus on how the ending of a story arc can be undercut as you hinted at. I'd be tempted to bring up my love for Riku Sanjo and how he is able to finish a story while leaving things open-ended, but that's a whole other rabbit hole.
Okay, would the movie Encanto be an example of how there really wasn't antagonist at the end I'm not sure if you saw that movie or not but I'm also not 100% sure if that's a good example
Encanto absolutely had an antagonist which was Alma the grandmother. Antagonist don’t have to be “the bad guys” always. An antagonist serves as a hurdle against what the protagonist believes or what they want to accomplish. Antagonist can also represent completely different ways of thinking, and a battle between the antagonist in the protagonist can be about a system of beliefs. In Encanto, Mirabelle helps her grandmother break through her way of thinking, and therefore, in essence defeats the antagonist so to speak. You you see what I mean?
@@FluxDestiny okay I understand what you're saying most definitely. I think the reason why I wasn't 100% sure because I looked at other commentaries based on the movie and multiple commentators had stated that there really was no antagonist and I was thinking no wasn't the grandmother even her color scheme indicated that she was she was wearing red
tysm! <3 <3 <3 It took me many years to put it all together but I'm so glad you like it. I'm going to do a Copic video soon! I'm going to start live-streaming my copic work again
I always love seeing artist’s work space, thanks for making this video! Also, omg at 2:15, i remember hearing the soundtrack years ago for an anime ost, but one day the videos got removed. I didn’t know how to find them again, and could only remember the cover having an anime girl with pink hair and goggles. After many years my search has finally come to an end, and sure enough that’s the anime, thanks Chris!
Ah! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! And better yet that I could solve your soundtrack mystery! The soundtrack is AMAZING - I bought the CD many years ago. And I also love touring other artists creative spaces as well - it's so inspiring! I have a whole Pinterest where I save them lol
@@FluxDestiny yes you did, thank you! Just started listening to the soundtrack again and already adding songs to my playlist haha. Also I agree, probably one of my favorite types of tiktoks to watch is the art space tours, haha.
I love the hassle quote, you loving working at night reminds me of this quote: "Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, knowing he is alone with the whole universe."
Ah, thanks Tom! <3 I love the hassle quote - it really helps remind me that masterpieces can only really have a chance to be born from the hassle. And I love that solitude quote- there's something about working late at night alone that really does have that feeling of being one with everything.
You can't bring someone back to life, but would one be able to fix a soul into an object like in Full Metal Alchemist using Quantum? Thinking about it tho, Edward kind of had to deal with some serious payback 😅
Hmmm... that's a good question. Given what Quantum Karmastry's capable of-it's definitely something that could be tried but I would imagine payback would be very severe, even if it was attempted but never really possible. Every person in the Flux Destiny universe has a Gear of Destiny that houses their essence, their soul. As long as that Gear isn't broken, there's all sorts of conversation about what could be possible.
Alright, I was pretty sure that creative would be my first choice, but Bio is so cool. I think I changed my mind 🤔 Cosplay being ilegal is not ideal tho u.u
Ayyyeeee!!! He’s so cute here mate!! X3c Great job here! I’ll admit when I usually draw traditionally, I only use pens cause if I did use pencils, I just be erasing all the time XD Man, I love how cozy he looks,, I just wanna put him in my mouth like a dog toy X3c
gahhh thank you dude :D <3 I'm so glad you like him here :D yeah I feel you though, I sometimes just do light sketching just to help me figure things out then I go back over them. I have a totally new process that I use for my copic pieces
They wanted to turn Hugo into a GIRL?!?! But seriously I am excited to see the first OFFICIAL Story come out. I really need this story to become something
Lol yeah -- crazy right? They wanted to change the whole dynamic and everything. Would’ve been a completely different story! I’m so excited about you getting to read the new book soon!
Thank you so much for this this actually encouraged me even with working on my own personal project it just feels like I've been working on it for a long time but it's not ready to be released to its full extent yet😊
oh dude, I'm so glad to hear that! sometimes just seeing other artists' messy behind-the-scenes can help lol. it does for me a lot <3 and I really appreciate you subbing to my channel :D
