@@LanceNez, Johnny Blaze from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. having a bullet hole in the skull, if I'm recalling correctly, is a direct reference to the Trail of Tears storyline from the comics where Ghost Rider takes a holy bullet to the head, which leaves essentially a permanent hole in his physical skull and even the spiritual manifestation of said skull. I'm referencing both. Thank you so much for your support!!! And glad you have a keen eye for the details that I put into my works.

@@themeltedpower, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!

@@medace-v7l, many, many, many thanks!!! Appreciate the support!

@@시온이-u9c, awesome! Thanks!!!

That's high praise! THANK YOU!!!! I'm truly humbled. Also, wait. The algorithm is real and it's somehow functioning??? HECK YEAH! Hahahaha. Once more, thank you for your support! I do appreciate it!

THANK YOU!!! I always try to make give my illustrations a certain level of depth when possible. I'm not always successful at it, but it wouldn't hurt to do so. Hence, I truly appreciate ya for the support!

Thank youuuuu!!!!! Having gone through both traditional and digital means of making art, it definitely pains me to see how AI image generation is considered by others as "art". To me, it is anything but. And I'm glad to have your support for the work I put out! Appreciate ya!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! If it does, that'd be super awesome!

@@topaztheguy, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I'm definitely going to take that as a huge compliment! Thank you!!!

@@kisslat6r, that's such a huge compliment! THANK YOU!!!! 🥹❤️

@@zindorijam, thank youuuu so, so very much!!!!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinda got used to focusing mostly on linework and smudging since I grew up on pencils back when I used to draw traditionally on paper. So, I think I'll always prefer it even when going for digital. It has that, at least to me, authentic appeal almost as if it were still done on paper. Hehehe. I hope I'm making sense here. And, no worries. English isn't my first language either. And you're doing well overall. I miss Loona as a full group, too, but, if it means that each member is now free and in a healthier place (individually and in terms of the K-Pop industry), I'm glad to see where they are now. I'd love to see a full reunion of sorts tho. Would be nice and heart-warming! Also, I do think that having separate groups helps make each member stand out since they finally get to have more parts per song. Anyway, thank you for your support! Means a lot to me!

@@guygadbois3010, yeah. The algorithm has been especially weird as of late, particularly on Instagram. I used to predict that platform much easier than in recent times. KZbin seems to be mostly the same for me, which means... that I don't get much of anything. Hahahaha. But I do appreciate the support nonetheless!

@@UrNieceRosalyn, means a lot to me! Thank youuuu for your support!!! The algorithm really doesn't seem to be as predictable as it used to be, especially on apps like Instagram.

Thank you so much!!! Appreciate the support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I know of the character, but I've never seen those films. And I don't think I'll be much of a fan of 'em (just from personal taste and research I've done regarding the franchise... doesn't seem to be my cup of tea exactly). But, maybe when I do end up trying some out and end up liking what I see, could still be a possibility. Hehehe. Who knows? Still though, I do appreciate the comment! And thank you for checking out my art!

I use Adobe Photoshop, and my current drawing tablet/pen combo is an XP-PEN. Thank you so much for your support! I appreciate ya!

@@VamkireTrannel Ammazing thanks for sharing looking forward for your new piece🫶

Thank you so much for your support and the time you took to show your appreciation for the work that I do! As for providing advice on proportions and getting poses done right, the best piece I can give you as of writing would be to try your best to always have a reference board ready while you work. If you can get multiple images of a similar pose, then that would greatly help in setting up proportions and making sure you understand the anatomy you're working with. And try to look at the figure from a simpler perspective. Often times, we end up messing things up with structuring something so complex as the human body because we're focusing too much on the tiniest details. Try to think in cubes/squares or spheres/circles and have one part/chunk of the body used as a measuring tool for the rest. It's a method that has helped me understand how to ensure that I'm working my way towards illustrating someone with their proportions and posture in mind. When it comes to poses specifically, look into how muscles and skeletons work and how they are directly related to each other. The human anatomy is a fascinating thing to behold. It aids so much in providing a great way to help limit how the body can naturally be posed or moved in various ways. It can also be the right basis as to whether or not it's the artist's intention of exaggerating an action or motion. Hoping these will help you out!

@@VamkireTrannel thank you for taking the time out of your day... it's really hard to pursue what i enjoy at times like these but your tips have clarified a few things. i'll look into it with your guidance in mind and i hope you won't be bothered if i do ask for other pointers in the future. having advice like this from someone obviously older and experienced really helps because it's information from a person who has gone through trial and error...unlike me who only been drawing for 6 months.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

That's awesome!!!!!!! Glad to know you're pushing through with it! I can certainly vouch for the XP-Pen drawing tablet and pen. Been using one for quite a while now. Wishing you luck and all the best of blessings! And thank you for your continued support!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Awwww. Thank you tho for being here nonetheless to check out my work!

You're absolutely welcome. If anything, I should be the one thanking you for taking the time to appreciate the work I put into my pieces. Thank you so, so very much for your support! And, yes, I certainly will keep posting more of my works in process form, especially with how things are going down in terms of the abusive use of AI. It's nice to still see others also find the struggle of actually putting in the work to make an illustration fascinating and, sometimes, even inspiring!

@@VamkireTrannel there's software being created to deter ai algorithm from using your art unrightfully. glaze and nightshade for one put a filter on your art that will instruct the ai to otherwise make a completely diff product. which means that your art cannot be stolen to teach models. AI only works as a tool... never as art.

@@little-ankle-biter , I've been looking into that for quite some time now. Just haven't seen the best results from the process so far. Adds too many artifacts to the output as far as I could tell. But I'll keep myself updated on that.

@@VamkireTrannel in all honesty, those two programs are actually useless. even the simplest blurring software can remove the effect... everything really comes as a cost doesn't it. you still make great art though... so don't worry about AI, it's barely AI... narrow artifical intelligence with barely any cognitive skills outside of whats its been taught by a database that can easily be defiled

XP-Pen is a darn good recommendation for sure since that's what I'm using! All the best with your art journey!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate the kind words and your overall support! Really helps keep me going knowing there are people I've inspired in such a way. So, thank you, once again!

Awwww. That's so sweet of u. Thank you so much! Means the world to me!!! I appreciate ya!

Thank you so much!!!! If it was on an FB art group, that's most likely posted by me with my personal account. Hahahah.

Many, many thanks!!! ❤️

Thank youuuu!!!!! 🥰

Thank youuuu!!!

57 seconds without breathing... I think you'll live. Hahaha. Thank you for watching!!!

Thank you! Welp. That's the problem with how overemphasized the algorithm has become across the years. Back then, growth in the online space actually felt natural. Nowadays, it just feels like... you have to make cheap, quick content that's in line with an ongoing trend if you want guaranteed success to some extent.

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!!!!

Thank you so, so much!!! I appreciate the support for what I do!

I do plan to do voice overs or even video essays in the future... just not sure exactly when since I still need the proper setup for that. As for the speed of the timelapse, I think I can slow it down a bit for voice overs... but not so much since my recording application for that is limited (and so is my drive space and RAM... hahahahah... I don't have the best rig for that at the moment). Thank you so much for checking this art process out!!!

Thank youuuu!!!

THANK YOUUU!!!

One of the most iconic quotes from Alien (1979)!

@@VamkireTrannel absolutely! My very favorite movie, along with Aliens (1986)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! Appreciate the support! Truly means a lot, especially with how weird algorithms have evolved as of late.

Thank you!!!

Couldn’t even edge to this, I exploded immediately!!! Clean up on aisle MY PANTS 😂😂😂😂

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Will certainly do my best to keep on improving wherever I can!

@@senorbeans9016 , hahahahahahah. That's one way to show appreciation I guess. Thank you!!! Glad you like the art that much!!! Hahahahaha.

@@VamkireTrannel i would like to clarify this was satire. I am mentally sane i promise, sick art tho

@@senorbeans9016 , don't worry. I kinda figured that out. Hahahahahah.

Many, many thanks!!! I do appreciate it!
