The way you break down concepts with humor, emotion, and clarity is inspiring. Love your style.

@milomakesstuff2019 6 месяцев назад

I absolutely love the texture and "volume" of your work, there is something low poly, clayish and spider-verse ish to be seen, whkch creates a very original and colorful image. Defintely earned yourself a sub!

I love that you condense your streams down to these more bite size videos! Love your stuff but seldom have a couple of hours to follow along, so thank you for taking the time to make such high quality videos too! Also great process and what a character and hero painting it ended up being!

@Blutz_Art 6 месяцев назад

I love how you approach your videos and sharing information. As a student artist sharing his findings with other student artists. Rather than as a elite teacher explaining everything to confused students. I feel on your level for the video, even if your much further along in your artistic skills/journey. Thanks for your top notch videos Ben!

This is probably the most detailed and well explained thought process in video form of designing a character but really thinking deeply of fundemental understanding of a 3D object. Well done at combining the thinking of 3D artist skills while applying it to painting skills and character designing skills.

I am considering purchasing the tutorial, but I was wondering, are you ever planning on showing how you sculpt your basic shapes in zbrush? I would love to see how you take 2D reference and then create a 3D blockout for your own purposes.

@tanishamuntslag6369 6 месяцев назад

This would be an interesting artstyle for a movie

@0darkwings0 6 месяцев назад

Hi, great content :) A question about your tutorial: do you explain everything step by step in the 8 hours video? Or I have to read the 40 pages tutorial to understand everything you teaching in your tutorial? With visual studies like art I struggle to study from a text book. Another question: do you explain in your tutorial “just” how to improve and master brush work or you explain art fundamentals too?

@ariadnaltos 6 месяцев назад

so tired of artists validating the use of AI for writing and drawing... I don't care that it is just a 3 word prompt, ChatGPT is build in stolen text. There isn't more to it EDIT: I won't check any comments (I deactivated notifications). But I wanted to ask you to read my comment using your reading comprehension skills to stop talking about stuff that I didn't say. I've seen a lot of people claiming stuff that I didn't say in my original comment with just three simple phrases. Also, using AI text generation is wrong. If you use ChatGPT you're increasing it's use and user base, which gives credit to it's developers to continue making money through STOLEN TEXT. And don't use the RU-vid comment section to inform yourselves. Just check what writers and script writers are saying about the use of AI text generators and ChatGPT.

@BeeseChurgar 6 месяцев назад

Even before ChatGPT, a random prompt generator was always a thing and it doesn't make you less of an artist cuz you still come up with the design.

@WYD28 6 месяцев назад

Woop glad you said this now i can just avoid this video instead of wasting my time! Thanks!

@Lunautau101 6 месяцев назад

I’m against AI but I feel like dismissing the rest of his creative process that’s fully his own bc he used ChatGPT for a three word prompt just feels like an overcorrection. Edit: I was meaning to reply to the person above me, somehow I didn’t see it didn’t. Obviously I’m not accusing OP of something they didn’t say, even though I still don’t agree with them in this case. Anyways, use your head and make your own conclusions about AI and its uses.

@ariadnaltos 6 месяцев назад

@@BeeseChurgar yes, but you can use one of those randomizers, like you said. Or a dictionary for all I care. It doesn't make you less of an artist to choose random words to inspire you, that's super correct we've all done it, but showing chatGPT, using it, not commenting anything... It feels like validating the use of AI text generators and I don't like it. I don't think that artists should support this kind of software in any way or form. And I don't think that artists should shut up when some other artists uses it.

@BeeseChurgar 6 месяцев назад

@@ariadnaltos We shouldn't support AI art, but Generating words? I don't think so. How would "Slice, WD-40 and Soup" give me the advantage? It's just like using a mannequin or reference as a guide-no matter how good your reference is, It's your skill on drawing only that matters.
