What a wonderful piece. The texture of the strokes, the colours, the fox and the text remind me of the story books of my childhood.

I did my own version of the same scene moments before of Strider's arrival. Pencils and chalk over 9x12 inch toned paper. I hope you don't mind me sharing it here. If so, just ask and I will remove it, but to be honest I'm so happy to found this coincidence. =)

This has been written by an AI. I can't prove it but I'm 100% sure.

Folks always ask how artists know about random topics and SO much of it comes from research for moodboards. Culturally accurate fashion, fairy tale origins, historical figures, creative processes, you find tons of knowledge-gems along the way vs "..this randomly generated image looks cool."

In the end most of us are storytellers who tell their own stories by drawing them and leaving the rest to the viewers. That's why its so exciting to learn new things that will lead you to new ideas some day will germinate into a story that ends being a drawing or a drawing that sparks a new story.

That's the same reason why much people draw the same things the same way all clones from each other.

No matter if he rethinks anything. I mean, yes it matters, ok. But in the end it does it because he wants money and success before anything else. He is still the same morally wrong person but pretending to be someone who hears the players.

And the higher you reach in the scale of success the worst is the person who is sitting there. Everyone below him said enough is enough quite a while before him. You can apply this rule to any aspect of life where succes means power, money or prestige.

That's because guys (yes I said guys) who reach that are always the kind of guys who don't care how much to pay in order to have success. They are not talentless (in fact they are very talented) but they left a lot of mosre talented corpses in their way who didn't want to pay the moral toll.

"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao
just 90% of what concept is🤣

Never wanted to visit America before. Great open spaces to see, but the people there... i can't say it surprises me at all how things are nowadays. And I don't say there's not lovely persons there, but the 50% that voted for Trump 3 times is that part of humankind that's always better to avoid.

Who shall we blame? Australians? I think they didn't vote for Trump, but I might be wrong. Shame on you Aussies!

I can't explain why I like this so much so suddenly, but endless creativity expectations plus humor and lovely artwork may have been the culprits in here =)
