Mutagenesis - Poster timelapse video

Added 2020-10-21 05:42:02 +0000 UTC

here's the recording of the process that went into this illustration from start to finish. i've been wanting to record a timelapse video for ages so i'm really happy i was able to put this together, and i'd like to keep making videos for this patreon. this video will also go public when the zine is released. also, sorry if it's too fast to see what i'm actually doing, but i wanted to crunch the ~16 hours that went into this into 20 minutes max and that meant speeding it up by 5000% lol.

you'll notice i tend to jump around the canvas like crazy instead of working section by section for the most part, and thats just down to how i work. its an instinctual process so i just tend to put paint down in whatever spot based on the first thought that enters my head. this is a luxury i'm afforded by choosing to work digitally, but i lose the natural aspects of traditional painting like texture, tonal variation, colour mixing etc. that i find make interesting art and i have to deliberately add those features in.

i learnt a lot about adobe premiere making this video, and its definitely not a perfect result, but in the future i'll try using different workflows to see what fits and maybe i'll entertain the idea of making 2-part videos.

thanks for watching, and let me know what you think!
