This took a bit of time to complete but I had a ton of fun making it. Hope you guys like it :)

Tell me the lore

You see that lil guy in the back? He's come over to surprise and hang out with his homie :)

(I liked the idea of a confident hero in the midst of dungeon spelunking, running into a guardian that he's about to shoot and loot)

Cerberus Andromon

Looks hella cool btw

Oh sick. This wasn't a reference I came across but I could totally see the resemblence :)

Thanks!

Cool

Art looks amazing!

Just how much perspective did you study and how did you do it :OOO

I just have no idea how to comfortably put forms in perspective, specially with warping like this haha

Looks a lot like Tsutomu Nihei's work. Immediately reminded me of Blame! Were you inspired by him at all?

It's really cool.

Absolutely fantastic

Great job!

Glad you like it :) Thanks bub

This is the first 4 pont perspective piece I'd ever made. I was teaching 2 point perspective for my students but ran into issues so I used this to level up (there are mistakes everywhere lol)

Haha I actually checked out the manga AFTER having made this. Enough people mentioned it that I finally caved yesterday. It's pretty cool :)

Nice nice. It's one of my favorites and I've been following Nihei's work for a while now so I'm always glad to see something comparable.

You can… fix your previous, more basic problems by doing more complex versions of the same problem? Will that work out ?

Oh, that's my bad. My students said that 2 point perspective was boring. I used the next qualitative step up to literally illustrate where they could take their work if they kept improving.

The problem was boredom, and I wanted to show what an older student (that they pay lol) would do.

That’s nostalgic, I like it very much.

it looks cool. if you also wanna see some other stuff by op here is their deviant art post https://www.deviantart.com/algebutter/art/Sentinel-7-934680353

Oh? That's cool, remind you of old dungeon crawlers? :)

Maybe (hopefully) sci fi manga :)

Time to boot up an EVA for that angel I guess

This is great! I feel like it deserves a manga or something.

Real talk here. Working on this made me appreciate comic book artists even more, just based off of the speed-to-quality ratio. Mangaka are crazy, it's an insane amount of work.

Omg he's about to be crited!. Phenomenal work.

Big sneak attack incoming :)

Cool as fuck. Love the wide angle!

This perspective looks super cool!

Thanks! It took a long time :)

As a fellow artist, I can believe it. But kudos to you because it doesn’t look overworked at all.

Very cool. Love the creature design for the Sentinel. Would love to see more.

That’s what I love about art though. You’re not a camera. All illustration will inherently be flawed - but despite that we can become so skilled where it actually makes something look better rather than worse.

The whole is worth more than the sum of its parts. Each line and shape (flawed or not) comes together to create something far greater than itself.

Not OP- but (in some cases) I think so, yeah.

For example, having problems drawing ellipses? You’ll get better at them if you draw a bunch of cylinders since you have to draw at least 2 for each cylinder anyway.

Trouble drawing a 2D rectangle? Draw 3D boxes. You gotta draw 6 of them for each box now. Etc.

Every time I watch an anime that has great art and animation I can never help but just think about how much effort actually goes into actually achieving it.

I’m just there in awe like, “Someone is actually hand-drawing each frame. And the high budget stuff can have upwards of 20,000 of them”.

I know they have different teams that work on different ‘layers’ and ‘keys’ and stuff - but holy hell I cannot imagine just how much work a single animator does - especially with how small the animation teams actually are most of the time.

I'm glad you like it, thanks!

You can probably find more of my work floating around on the internet. I can't post links but just DM if you're interested :)

I think, making tasteful errors is like 80% of the job whenever I take on work. It's fun! But a little emotionally taxing sometimes.

Glad you guys understand :)

Arcane, is probably the most beautifully animated piece I'd seen in years. I got that feeling super often during lulls in the story :)

When I was playing D&D our DM made a badass golem (bone type) called a “Triskelion” that looked alot like this, it had three heads/arms/legs and it spun when it ran at us swinging bone axes made from giants’ scapulae— wicked. (A golem is a magical construct that is set as a sentinel/guardian and it’s tough to destroy)

Jeez the perspective and depth. art styles gives me Jjk vibes

you could make a manga outta this

Super tight work man, reminds me of the Gunnum (Alita) manga

That sounds really cool. I loved making DnD art for my friends. It'd usually take a week or two but feel like it really elevated the experience.

Personally, didn't enjoy the game a ton, I'd just quietly sketch their characters lol

Loved doing this project. Was fun. And JJK is pretty awesome. Seem to get that comment (compliment) alot.

Entirely unintentional but I'm glad to hear it :) thanks homie

lol I wish. But manga covers? Feel like that'd be a ton of fun.

More of an illustrator than someone who creates panels. Those people are crazy efficient!

Get in the robot Shinji :' )

Thanks bub

> the Gunnum (Alita

Feel like I still gotta watch/read this story. People seem to love it to death :)

I keep getting bombarded by awesome content from people on the internet. Just a little overwhelmed on where to start

Personalized art particular to a homebrewed campaign definitely elevates the experience. While you might not be a player, you’re still active in the world-building.
