wtf ur back??? idk if u understand how much ur akali splash art was a hidden gem for artists bro, and now ur blessing us again with this??

I will never understand how a splash artist gets to manage 500 layers each time they do one of these, its so impressive

This is genuinely the best splash art tutorial I've seen ever I can't believe how underrated your channel is, I hope the youtube algorithm picks up on it soon !

9:45 made me subscribe.

One of the best advises of all the video was the "if you keep trying to get one part done but it doesn't work, do some other part and get back to it later". I am aiming to be this talented and experienced, so this hits hard. Most people think that splash art (as one of the most demanding art pieces in industry as it is) is made by people that have every detail figured out since the sketching stage. When the truth is that the profesionals have not the hability to do it right away, but to have a HUGE solving-problems skills and LOTS, and i mean L O T S , of hours in learning the basics and iterating with it. And yet they struggle. I take this as a gold worth lesson. Thank you

As a young artist, I watched the whole thing and this was so so helpful 😭😭😭 how is this free?!

Omg This is gold for begging splash artists. Thank you so much!

I've done splash arts for a card game so I have a lil bit of experience, but I still really struggle to get the backgrounds to a good level of finish. I would love to see a video about how to approach the backgrounds, see if and how photobashing techniques are used etc.

Simultaneous contrast is also known by James Gurney as "counter change". His blog still features the post on the subject. Generally a lot of these concepts were skimmed from masters, and translated into modern terms so I'm not surprised this one has a new(er) name, but it's just funny seeing it since it's such a great abstraction of reality for the sake of impact. At least I take plenty artistic liberty to introduce clarity through value separation with that method

You have no idea how useful this video is. Thank you so much and keep up the good work !

Plz would love the material / metal rendering tutorial

Honestly this is awesome, I'm trying to make this my career without going to the conventional art school and I feel like you are incredible at explaining! Thanks for everything and new sub :3

Materials and material rendering are such an underrated part of the process

Another thing about drawing with references is that it makes you better at drawing without references. If you have to draw a horse from memory the result will be much better if you've drawn 20 horses from reference.

DUDE this is such a comprehensive tutorial, thank you so so much!

19:45 You can also generate a lens flare in photoshop - I usually make a new pure black layer, generate the flare (filters > generate > lens flare) and then follow from what he did. You can then mess around with the hue saturation and colors with ctrl+u and ctrl+b. Thats what I usually do when I want a specific lens flare to fit my image. Hope this helps!

57:11 RAAAAAAH YUTO SANO'S TEETH DRAWINGS❗❗🗣️ btw I really loved this video and how informative it is about splash art, I want to make this type of art for some character I like so this is really useful, waiting for part 2 patienly. Thanks for bringing this content buddy 😺

I’m fr getting desperate bro, splash arts are my goal for art, hopefully I can come back sometime in the future and say that I’ve made it. Thank you for the tips 🙏
