The artistic HELL of poster design

You can buy a poster here if you want heheheehee streamily.com/junegustin

[@emiwlyisoncrack6993]

Huzzah!!!

[@s4turn_C04]

i REALLY love the food/lovecore poster idea bc if i remember correctly in one of ur "get to know me vids" u said that u associated good times with food and friends and i just think thats such a beautiful and sweet callback to those good times y'know? :^D anyways STUNNING illustrations and i am on MY HANDS AND KNEES CRYING SOBBING that it doesn't end when i get paid :,0 to own a signed print from u and ur team would be so amazing omlll,,

[@ccherry.berryy]

TWO JUNE UPLOADS IN ONE MONTH YIPPEE!! Also very interested in those prints!!

[@thebathroom6327]

So, I haven't watched in quite a while, and I'm confused, is her name Reagan or June?

[@_aislingxyz]

@@thebathroom6327June! and they're going by he/they pronouns :) but Rea is their sona's name

[@FellowCinnaEnjoyer]

@@_aislingxyzoh they go by he/they?

[@ccherry.berryy]

As an animation student I have never related harder to the frustration of not feeling like you have any idea what you're doing, ESPECIALLY with perspective, backgrounds and scale (LAYOUT WHEN I CATCH YOU LAYOUT)

[@BenjiBloodshed]

My Dyslexic ass read the title as 'Autistic HELL'. Legit the team KILLED it. Sorry getting to this video was a chore but you and the team did a great job and I can't wait to get the signed piece. YO I didn't know about Unvale that looks awesome. AND HOW DID I NOT NOTICED MY O in OmniPresent BEING TURNED INTO A HEART?! HELLO?! Great video always glad to see the work hope the next project goes easier on you and the team.

Dear sweet FUCK this isn't even an official cartoon or show or anything and I am already SO TEMPTED TO WRITE FANFIC ABOUT THEM STARS HELP ME

The new june sitting on chair art is so freaking crispy and colourful and eyecandy and nomnom nom onom onom it's in my tummy

[@someonespoopy8269]

Art is so so much fun when you don’t have “insert annoying thing here” A few examples: -wrist pain -your art teacher -literally anyone watching you draw -art block -school exams -the impending doom of university -the impending doom of work -hungry -thirsty -tired -crippling depression

[@PWNDON]

an ant infestation

[@jacobw618]

-too many ideas that you like all at once -too many ideas that you realize you don’t like as much as you thought you did -hardly any time to actually draw anything because of work -Art block -Art block again -Art block again again -worrying about the inevitability of death -Fucking Art Block!

[@QuingRC]

😂😂😂😂

[@elysianpainting]

Maybe it wasn't rlly needed to add "thirsty/hungry" since almost all organisms experience those two things (sob), but everything else was relatable

[@ruusunpuna7749]

-the impending doom

[@UnderworldArtist]

The fkn perspective panic around 5:00 - 6:00 was such a goddamn mood. It's so nice to know my favorite artists have the same struggles I do-

[@starsword9332]

Looks like June art models and her room is now complete and finished! And let me just say.......I LOVE IT! And June looks soooo cute! And thier quirky voice and personality is adorable as always❣🥰

[@juniper1350]

june uses they/he pronouns btw

[@peeweeallen517]

​@juniper1350 hey, genuine question, when did they change their pronouns/make the announcement? Just being nosy here.

[@slavicandsapphic7446]

@@peeweeallen517i think a year ago now and on Twitter!

[@acespades2387]

lmao I love how forgetting Hokuto's grey hair became a "they receded back into her skull" instead of "she had them dyed"

[@thatoneguy96]

I relate to this SO HARD. i got accepted into a local miku-themed event where I can table and have been trying to make fun vocaloid prints I can sell, and WOW it’s so much more tough than anyone initially thinks, especially when considering composition and color

[@Shatteredtales]

I had to do a double take at the notification due to the shear shock of receiving two June uploads within the month- THAT BEING SAID TAKE YOUR TIME!! WE LOVE YOU JUNE AND YOUR HEALTH IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR UPLOAD SCHEDULE!!!!

[@PikagirlSarai]

I have to say little fairy Rea’s expressions (and overall vibe) is so cute and fun‼️‼️The vibrant feel the team is goin for is so beautiful looking ✨🥺(sorry if that doesn’t make sense I’m just tryna say I love the art LMAO)

[@bandorogues7609]

“I needed something easier to feel like I knew what I was doing. It was not easier, I did not feel like I knew what I was doing!”-June Damn way to call me out

[@ccherry.berryy]

3:30 THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS I AM A PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR THATS SO FUCKINT CUTE

[@solaceberry]

my favorite thing to do in this videos is to just pause and take in everything, all the sonas for the team are lovecore themed! admiring every single detail with the editing too, i take like so long to watch these bc i pause and admire everything LMAO

[@solaceberry]

i dont know if its all, but i definitely noticed a bit! unless im looking at stuff wrong :’3

[@leh_tahkoh_yaki9015]

Omg that's so relatable xD

[@kay2036]

The amount of work that you and your team do is absolutely astounding; you can see all the love and effort that is placed into every video and its inspiring every time!! But god DAMN my wrist hurts just watching and thinking about how much time and effort its taken for ALL this wonderful artwork from everyone involved LOL;; but yall kill it every time

[@skynixart]

I love the poster with everyone eating a meal together! You drew all the characters with so much personality!! ✨

[@drawsfelix]

BTW for CSP "All Time" the minuets are actually hours. So that's a 22 hours for you!!!

[@Koenna99]

I saw so confused! I felt like I was slow af but now I feel better lol

[@eyejest_art]

I think June mentioned that the timelapse was 22 minutes, not the total time that's displayed in the info section! So it's probably much longer than 22 hours which makes this even more impressive :)

[@PantslessPajamas]

There's something so entertaining and educational about watching your stuff. Get hooked in every time.

[@ccherry.berryy]

2:04 I NOTICED THE WORM ON A STRING WHEN I FIRST SAW THE POSTER AND I NEED TO MAKE THAT AND ALSO THAT MIGHT BE THE DECIDING FACTOR ON WHICH POSTER TO GET

[@aptalsandvic5355]

My dear artists: Blender is not as hard as it looks i swear. There are many buttons and a million shortcuts but you don't need to know what every single one of them does. Start from the donut tutorial, get accustomed to the fundemental shortcuts and google everything. It gets easier.

[@AGhostInTheCorner]

I loved seeing you highlight your team's talent and ideas!! You're all amazing artists, and I hope you do more group projects like this in the future!!!

[@amberlambssqoashy8760]

Sorry to say if this sounds rude, but it confers me to see someone like you and also struggle with art. I have a lot of road blocks and struggle to make my drawing turn out how I imagined and I see the artist around me making beautiful doodles and creating books of completed art so I feel like I'm doing something wrong. But then I watch your videos and see you, a professional artist making gorgeous pieces, go through those same emotions and struggles I go through. It makes me happy to know I'm not doing anything wrong. Thank you for that ❤

[@DarkHeart09_]

GOSH this was such a well done video!!! Ever since Robin mentioned it on stream I’ve really payed attention to the editing a lot more and WOW! You guys always do such a fantastic job it is amazing. Also will never get over Azumi’s belly fat I love it so much

[@kainimates]

Honestly I love seeing your speedpaints and process while drawing it’s so inspiring 😭

[@anony_apis]

love when the valentines chocolate is so good my gray hair recedes into the back of my skull, waiting to be released the next day

[@GhostFallow]

I thank you immensely for making this, I was struggling figuring out my own poster cover thingy with some characters and this just! Made stuff click into place for me! So, thank you very much

[@mikuhoshina]

I love all the outfits!!! Everyone looks so cool, and it was nice to get an insight into how you made these posters, despite all the struggles you had with them. I feel like artists should talk about these things more often, because it’s something that can happen, and I think it can help other struggling artists if they learn how you got through it and learnt from it all!!

[@Carlyisajedi]

I’m obsessed with your OCs so anytime we get any new content for them I get so excited

[@innome_]

that struggle with the poster and composition is relatable ASF

I'm falling in love with the way the channel is changing, everything is so pretty!

[@Astrolionking]

MY GOD I haven’t been to this change in forever but THIS NEW OFFICE BACKDROP IS SO FUCKING GORGEOUS!?!?!? Love you, June! I just got a tablet for art bc you inspired me to be a digital artist and I’m still trying to get better! Shading and lighting and making stuff look shiny is HELL.

[@helenanilsson5666]

I haven't done art since I broke up with an ex that I tried to emulate by doing art (worst reason ever to do art, in my defense I was a teenager), but I do write for a hobby and 6:05 is so fucking relatable that it's painful.

[@HouseBlackwolf]

HELLO THE NEW ROOM? Also Rea being a little fairy flying around is SO CUTE omg omg omg. Eats them like the 2g of protein they are. Another absolute banger, great job June and Team!!!! Always a great day when I can watch the ActuallyRea team knock it out of the park again.

A PROCESS VIDEO !! YES , YES i love tuning into the minds of my favorite artists , and everyone's concept designs were FANTASTIC !! I'm in love with this video and will be replaying it often , especially during my own work/projects. Something about the script gets me into the zone

[@faimynth6030]

You're one of my favorite artists because you're so open and realistic with both your struggles and successes as an artist. I look up to a lot of artists and sometimes feel as though I'm not doing well enough. It really makes me happy to watch your videos and growth ✨

[@joschwalb931]

When I was first watching through the video, something about Wisp's civilian Eimi design ( 2:17 ) seemed amiss. It was different from my conceptions of Eimi, being more 'filled out' and less like a twig. Their face was also kinda Professor Sycamore-like. After I collected myself, I really liked the design, but it reminded me of someone I couldn't put my finger on, until I realized it was somehow Jared from the movie Booksmart? It's not like I've watched the movie recently so the character would be on my mind, nor are they very similar in the face, they just have the exact same vibe: it's wild. great video, great art Notes: Fire's magical Eimi design ( 2:58 ) is also a bit less twig-y than the design on the reference sheets from "Redesigning My Old Manga OCs". Those are >4 years old though, so I compared that with the designs from the "Cardcaptor Hokoto" animatic, the beginning of "Designing GENSHIN characters as MAGICAL GIRLS!", and the end of this video, and the designs haven't really changed in terms of proportions and body shapes in all that time, outside of June's general art style evolution. Well, except for Hokoto' face shape (slightly) and Kat's (especially), and also the hair in front of Eimi's ears seems to be sideburns now. Also, Lemon's magical Azumi design ( 3:13 / 3:17 ) is obviously so different from the 'canonical' Azumi, being taller, buff-er, having a wider jaw, etc (she looks like a trans amazonian goddess I love), which just shows that these drawings were primarily concerned with getting the outfits and hair and stuff into the world. This way, the designs also show off some of the team's headcanons (?), which I think is really cool.

[@anyathepanther7977]

"Clip Studio crashed-" Oh no... "And the whole File vanished." Noooooooooollloloooooooo!😢 I once looked for a Comic Page that i had finished the day before. I was really proud how it turned out, but it was gone. I slowly came to the horrific Conclusion that i must have fused layers and deleted all my hard work. 😨😭

[@peachybruiseslego]

EATS UP YOUR ART RAHHHHH!!.. dude ive rewatched so many of your videos so many times and i never get bored of it ❤

[@SilentMeteorite]

I have to say, it is really nice to see an exoerienced artist I look up to also struggle with backgrounds and perspective and heights and all the things I've been struggling to figure out lately that I feel like are just humanly impossible lol It makes me feel not so dumb and alone

[@00maskedbunny00]

Thank you so much June for inspiring me to get back into art. Without you my art journey would have probably ended 3 years ago so thank you!

I swear artists lets all agree on this. We kick our own butts for no good reason because we are perfectionists. We see every detail we messed up on and we get mad when others don't see those mess ups they just go. Wow that's amazing. Good job and you're like yeah and come on tell us that we can do better!
