Journey
Added 2024-05-25 06:32:35 +0000 UTCIt's done! It has been a while since I really did a non-contemporary themed set so there were many things to learn on the go and put into practice! If you've seen my previous post here the experiments (and failures) speak for themselves :)
In the end, I wanted to challenge myself to create a variety of different compositions for the set, but without forgoing the character aspect too much, hence the portrait focus for the first 2 pieces, followed by something a little more environment heavy for the last 2. I'd love to explore the architecture more, but so far I'm still working on and boiling down good ideas and concepts.
I'll launch into making the process videos right away (while my thoughts are still fresh) so expect to see them very soon as well. But as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my latest effort here!
Thank you as always for all your amazing support here on Patreon, it means the world ♥

Slowing building yourself up to the layers required to execute a narrative visually is very rewarding, but takes a lot of time too - don't give up! The results are only going to get better with more mileage :) I'm glad you're liking the course as well!

2024-05-28 11:04:49 +0000 UTCI will definitely read your short story. I got into art about that time with the goal to make stories like this and then got humbled how hard it is to produce a single panel. Your Coloso course has also been a huge help! And these break downs continue that understanding.

2024-05-26 14:01:26 +0000 UTCThank you, I do talk about it in the video!

2024-05-26 14:00:46 +0000 UTCThank you! I do discuss the main points I've found when trying to capture that specific beach scene in the video just up :) I have done a full short story before, with 24 scenes no less - If you scroll a couple years back (or look into artbook 2) there is a fantasy themed one you can take a look at!

2024-05-26 14:00:38 +0000 UTCStunning. The red hair draws the focal point in very well. I really like looking at the textures in these pieces. The beach walk seems like you managed to do a lot with a little. I can’t wait to hear your break down. Do you think you would ever do a full short story? Like 20 panels. These cinematic illustrations always leave me wanting to know more about the character and the story behind the panels

2024-05-25 18:17:46 +0000 UTCThe journey of a brand new adventure has begun. I really love the hair drawing techniques showcased in Part 2, and I would appreciate it if you could discuss it in the video. <3

2024-05-25 15:33:18 +0000 UTCTrue! Usually I'm too shortsighted to worry about dpi until it comes time to print! :)
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 14:06:00 +0000 UTCYou're too kind :)
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:49:26 +0000 UTCThank you!
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:49:13 +0000 UTCIt's a really useful color when needing to a bit of pop too!
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:49:09 +0000 UTCThank you!

2024-05-25 13:48:47 +0000 UTCLet's see if the future brings more of her. 😁🤞 Well, 72 dpi is enough to display on screens, but if one want to print one illustration, for display purpose in a frame for example, turning resolution to 300 dpi obviously reduces the maximum allowed size. But I get your point. Thanks for your answer. 🙏

2024-05-25 13:35:29 +0000 UTCThank you very much! The giant church was a little too difficult for me this time, but I will be back when I have better ideas :)
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:20:32 +0000 UTCHmm, perhaps a new character? No name yet though, and thank you! The dpi really doesn't mean anything, sometimes I just grab a canvas size preset without looking and it's not the usual 72dpi one!
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:20:05 +0000 UTCThank you very much! You can definitely see me getting intimidated by the environments I've planned and retreating a little to the comfort of character illustration :) Here's hoping the course is of help to you!
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:18:39 +0000 UTCThank you, and fair call! They definitely are on the safer side of things :)
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:17:38 +0000 UTCYou're very welcome!
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:16:38 +0000 UTCI'm glad you like it! The process can be pretty long and winding sometimes but it's also necessary to help consistently arrive at what you want.

2024-05-25 13:15:40 +0000 UTCThank you :)
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:15:33 +0000 UTCThank you for the kind words! I had a lot of fun adjusting the beach frame between all sorts of moods, finally settling on this one :)
GUWEIZ
2024-05-25 13:15:27 +0000 UTCThanks! It's a great color combo and I just have to try it with sunlight at least this once!

2024-05-25 13:14:15 +0000 UTCAmazing viking girl! I love her red hair and the little freckle on her face is the finishing touch, thanks for the work and wish to see more of the giant church:)

2024-05-25 13:00:07 +0000 UTCSeems like this is the start of a new series. 🌿❄️ As usual, nice balance between portraits and more surrounding action. I always loved close-up portrait and the one you're providing here is breathtaking. The lighting and the overall expression... ❤️ Does she have a name yet? 😆 Just out of curiosity, after saving the files, I see that these are 72 dpi, while illustrations for Bad Guys were 96 dpi. (I know it can be changed afterwards, but it also changes the image size while dimensions in pixel remain the same). Is there any reason for that?

2024-05-25 12:56:03 +0000 UTCOHOHOHOHO THATS BEAAAUTIFUL! I loved the compositions for the portraits and for background as well! i also liked the ones u posted before XD but these ones really fits together! Amazing master guweiz! I starded your coloso course btw (didnt had time on the last months) and got very inspired to make my own set after seeing this master piece as well heheh hope i can show u mine after i done the course! im on sketch chapter now and so far amazing classes!

2024-05-25 10:51:01 +0000 UTCLes goooo! I almost forgot we were in for another treat this month. Mmmm...kinda have to disagree with the first 2 portraits, too safe n generic. But the last 2 are superb! amazing job

2024-05-25 08:34:11 +0000 UTCThis is stunning !! Taking your course on Coloso, I find it even more interesting to see the end result now that I understand better all the thoughts and process you put into it!!

2024-05-25 07:34:42 +0000 UTCThis set gives me a sense of freedom and I can almost smell the fresh breeze through the screen, cant wait to watch the process and hear how you were able to capture this. Thank you for your hard work Guweiz.
