How To Draw in the BoTW/ToTK Art Style | Render Breakdown

[@anders6326]

Says he's not professional End of video: has an entire video showing the research done, sources used, explanations of the brush breakdowns, endorses actively sampling from references, and broke all our hearts with how spot on the render looks! Dude has the most powerful career-seeking asset now :P

[@LoederMusic]

Finally managed to find the Lamp Oil store in TotK! Was really suprised to see Morshu there! :-)

[@thomoclock]

if only

[@beecoin6376]

Morshu turned out so well! Seriously looks like something right off the cover of Tears of The Kingdom. Looking forward to the next episode :D

[@christianmclean9891]

Miis, every human/shieka/gerudo uses miis as their models. Except for link, zelda, and ganondorf, and maybe a small few other exceptions.

[@tea.23]

The classical youtube move of recommending a year old video to me just now! Anyways, really great content! I enjoyed every minute

[@RioBlitzle]

goddd this was great!! breakdown of the style was so interesting and the way the end result came out was so cool, super underrated video!!

[@fayemarch4820]

I'm so mad I wasn't there during your stream a year ago, it looks sooo good! I'm glad I came across this channel omg lucky me

[@arrotino9501]

It turned out well but you needed the green/blue “background” the originals have

[@InkAirplane]

Still amazed that you were able to get so bang on with the style, excited for the next ep of Render -Decoder- Breakdown

[@STINGER.404]

THANK YOU!!!!! I have no clue how this doesn't have more views already, but I found you through Twitter and I'm very impressed, so glad somebody researches art styles like this out there and takes time to make videos on it

[@thomoclock]

thank you so much :)

[@saberkite]

Been wanting to draw in this style ever since I played BotW (which wasn't that long ago, lol). KZbin recommended your video a year after you posted it, and I love it. Will try it out.

[@TheDefilerAzog]

same xd

[@Wild._.The._.Hylian]

THANK YOU OMG YOU'RE MY NEW LORD AND SAVIOR. I will DEF just start scribbling out the BOTW/TOTK artstyle now

I don't remember subscribing, but I'm glad past me did. Keep up the good work!

[@aprendendocomgames]

You're amazing, man! The result was just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@ibrhm_a]

This is really immaculate bro, I was surprised you only got 28k Subscriber, you deserve more! Well done!

[@thomoclock]

thank you! trying my best to make this work out

[@ibrhm_a]

@@thomoclock best of luck! I'll be watching your next videos

[@StoroCakes]

Omigosh why did I first found out this video’s existence a year later? Your attempt and depth explanations are awesome! 😭

[@garleek]

Very glad to see you again thom! your process was very interesting to watch, and you did a fantastic job!!

[@BorgztheDutchCyborg]

Fun fact: some NPCs don't use the Mii format and actually are custom models. Examples are Sayge, Bludo, Buliara, Isha, Kaneli, Kilton, Beedle, Rhoam, Zelda, Impa, Paya, Link, Bolson, Muzu, Donephan, Robbie, Purah, Hestu, Sidon, Yunobo, Tulin, Teba, Kass, Harth, Monk Maz Koshia, Master Kohga, Dorian, Hudson, Riju-

[@Oxrenn]

This looks actually incredible, literally looks exactly like the promo art style. And I’m sure you already have a ton of suggestions but if you’re looking to replicate another video game art style, and also looking for a decent challenge, you should check out the artist, Yoji Shinkawa who was the lead character and mechanical designer and general artist behind the entire metal gear solid series as well as Death Stranding and its upcoming sequel :)

[@AARVMUSIC]

OMG you recreated the art style so well! Great video :)

[@RottingLeviathan]

I'm a super big fan of this video, my younger self really wanted to replicate the art style of BotW, and now that I'm watching this video, I can do my younger self justice by using what you're teaching in this video to finally do that! Keep up the great work, man :)

[@trkment7002]

You NAILED IT gosh that's amazing, congrats !

[@TurtleDoveKM]

WHY AM I ONLY SEEING THIS A YEAR LATER!!! This is so cool!!!!

[@benutzerbrezel]

Goodness gracious, I can’t really put my thoughts of how thankful I am into words! This helped me so much and since I’m obsessed with that art style and tried to recreate it several times (without an ordinary outcome) this video helped me so much. I’ll see how it goes and you definitely have me as one of your new supporters.

[@superstarmario101]

You don't know how helpful this was, I've been working on some Tears of the Kingdom art and trying to capture the style from the official artwork, but for the life of me, I couldn't find the right brush on my software or get a sense of which colors to use to create that beautiful shading, thank you so much for working on this and walking us through your process, I'm gonna get back to work on my piece soon , I'll be happy if it even turns out half as good as your's.

[@beatsbymata]

this is beautiful! i don't understand how you only got 28k subs, you deserve WAYYY more.

[@banzaibulletbill]

I know I’m a whole ass year late but you should do one of these on Yoji Shinkawa’s style for the Metal Gear series!!

[@hannahl4108]

OH YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT!! 👏👏👏👏💖💖💖 Thank you so much for this, this is awesome! 💖💖💖👏👏👏

[@seraphrakuro]

DUDE THIS IS SO COOL!! I love the way you edit stuff! You clearly know what youre doing

[@ricardo.mazeto]

It looks very professional.

[@Adam-vg2lj]

Dude this whole video is a goldmine. You're going to make it big real soon

[@VickyViolet]

8:46 NOWAY. I've been thinking for YEARS that the NPC's have Mii faces, soooooo I'm not insane??? 😂

[@VickyViolet]

Also is the Twitch link broken? I tried it from both your profile and the video description. 😢

[@Solaris_iv]

@@VickyViolet I noticed this too! I was wondering if I could watch the entire Morshu process from start to finish in real time

That turned out awesome bro, i love the botw artstyle, i think u nailed the patterns and lines perfectly 🙏🙏

[@ziiia]

love this, love this video concept so much i'd watch a thousand of these

[@agent3689]

This is the first video of yours that I've come across, and I already love it. I might send this to my artist friend for him to watch. As for game artstyles to break down, I can recommend the Persona series. It might be a bit long if you choose to look at the artstyle across the series, because it evolves with each game, but if you ever feel like it, I would like to see you tackle it.

[@Brruhmine]

I know it's an old video but damn I feel you at the twitch bit. Back then I was lazy and take a long time to start and finish any drawing ever. But when I started streaming on twitch I felt so motivated because it's a damn vibe chatting with people whilst I'm drawing and stuff So ye keep up ya good art \o/

[@HyruletheCheetah]

Wow that was some incredible work! Its looks amazing, straight outta the game!

[@enchantgamer]

LOOOOOVED THIS VIDEO! SO SO GOOD :D

[@connorrilke5740]

Wow the big dog is back in the kitchen

[@thomoclock]

[@chrisbyerly]

Dude I remember hitting you up on reddit after you posted this asking about commissions. Too funny, it took me until partway through the video to realize you were the same person haha.

[@thomoclock]

lol hey if you still want one just message me on discord

[@mrshmuga9]

I only subbed like a week ago despite the gap, and you’re already back, lol. Great job on Morshu!

[@thomoclock]

perfect timing then lol

[@ky4nsu]

i usually don't leave comments on youtube but this was such a fun video, so i had to leave something! the algorithm has my thanks for putting you on my home page :)

[@tnturnip]

This is awesome! I gotta do more studies and breakdowns of my favorite styles myself, and botw's is one of the top on my list. Your execution here is very convincing and beautifully vibrant, especially the back rim lighting, and really inspires me to do some myself. Im focusing more on 3D art right now, but I've really developed an appreciation for digital painting as of late. Would love to catch one of your streams and paint along some time. Keep it up!

[@julilolmo19]

This is a really strong portafolio piece and his attitude is great

[@Ricqqq]

I so love the quality of your videos, truly deserved to be recognized by many🙌

[@Lenorven]

Thanks for making this video ❤ i love the artwork

[@akiraqil9902]

Amazing render in a very well made video! If i could nitpick i would say the point of view could be more dynamic. But that’s honestly the only thing i can come up with.

[@Servbot31]

Thanks for the video, I especially like the approach you did on studying the art and looking for artist interviews to get a better understanding. Since I got the collector's edition for TOTK, I've been considering trying some art with that style (The artbook is amazing!) but not necessarily related to The Legend of Zelda ^^ It was really inspiring to watch your video!

[@GabeWilliams]

This video was on my home feed, and I accidentally clicked it. I am now subbed 😂

[@Boopieo]

i loved this video!!! it was so fun. if you havent already id love to see you trying out the overwatch art style!

[@mundozeo]

[@L_H_Try]

Wow you sure did a lot of research! And it clearly paid off, too... I fr thought that was offical :Promo Art

[@unstableturtleduck]

This was amazing!! Massively underrated

[@bobbiemeri7245]

ok but that morshu concept art blew my mind ngl

[@rawburtmartinez]

Great video . Amazing quality

[@alexanderjaeger]

nicely done. I tried to replicate this art style myself, and I know, how difficult it is. My weak points are often the values. In this situations I ask myself, how hard it must be for the original artist to came up with this in the first place. 🤯 And by the way: don’t be too hard to yourself. We are doing art for ourself, not for the audience 😊 If an artwork or a video takes longer, than expected, it’s fine. Art shouldn’t be rushed ☯️

[@LightKnight14]

Hey I really liked this video and it taught me a lot about how to learn from art styles!

[@zevan9592]

Ooooh this was so good! You really broke it down and replicated it perfectly! I’m trying to replicate Genshin Art style in 3D! So many games use that style! You ever going to do anything like that??

[@Gingrnut]

Hey man, this is a good vid, just discovered your channel, I love this idea for a series, planning to watch the Ace Attorney vid after. One thing I would say, having that wiggling effect on those snips of text & images is not particularly great for readability. Making them waggle like that doesn't really add anything to the visuals, and just makes them harder to read. Maybe a slow push in or push out, or a slide in of the artwork below, that's enough to add some motion to the frame.

[@thomoclock]

thanks! i'll keep this in mind

[@dnasplicers]

will we ever get a pokemon render breakdown....... love ur work!!

Hey, loving these videos after finding the Hades one. Could I request/suggest some games for a video in this series? Would love to see one from any of these, which I love the art styles of: Fire Emblem (Awakening in particular is my favourite) Unicorn Overlord (or 13 Sentinels. Vanilla ware games in general are gorgeous) Persona 5 (Atlus games are all very pretty as well)
