Leyendecker Study: Elias Bouchard [Speedpaint] 

my friends and I are all watching this on a zoom call and absolutely *losing our shit* (and giving live commentary). this is *so good.*

“first time using digital” wHAT H OW

This is absolutely gorgeous, your attention to detail is impeccable ✨

ive barely scratched the surface of the magnus archives but this speedpaint is making me go WILD,,,, its so,,,,, BEAUTIFUL????? it makes me go ✨💫✨????

You've captured leyendecker's style amazingly. This is very on brand for elias Great work I love it!

i. am at a literal loss 4 words this is gorgeous

this is gr8 u perfectly captured his rat essence

This is grand and I love it! Perfect for Elias

This is amazing!! Your Elias design really sums up the smugness of his character :D

i cant express how absolutely gorgeous this is. the way you shade every little detail in the table and frame, your knowledge of colors and how they work, your knowledge of lighting, your creativity in the ways you changed the reference photo. this is truly a work of art!! also love the little eyes of the cuffs, and at the end of the cane. and dont even get me started on the crown (which looks amazing) and the eyes in the sky. its like hes looking at himself in the mirror like "ah yes, time for another day ruining peoples lives in the apocalypse". i feel like if tma was a visual experience this is exactly what elias would look like. and i dont know what those flowers are but they look really good and i wouldn't be suprised if they had some flower language behind them

This needs more love

How could you draw this demon of a man so well? This is so amazing dude, its hard to believe we use the same program

What! This is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous, _scarily_ gorgeous. How have I not seen this before, my fingers are trembling this is so so good. Wow, there aren’t many constants in this world but this being an astonishingly detailed study must be one of them. I can only express my love in superlatives, there is no modesty to my love of this piece. I am so glad I saw this, my thoughts are over the place I’m sorry wow!

I really liked it, especially the background music.

THIS IS AMAZING !!!! Also the white hydrangea!!!! (Proud and boastful or something maybe? That fits him tbh haha but idk if you meant something else by it)

Amazing art? good music? hell yea i'm subscribing! i totally loved your Holland 1945 animatic btw, is one of my favorites

this style suits him SO well

I didn’t know who this is so I looked it up and the first thing On the wiki I found is ”Elias Bouchard is a major antagonist from the podcast The Magnus Archives. He is notable in that most of the people who think he's sexy also think he's horrible and deserves to be punched.” I feel like that’s a adequate explanation for anyone who doesn’t know.

fantastic work!
