The following music video was recommended to me this weekend, and touted as being the moving equivalent of a Sam Weber painting. Sure enough, the video is pure eye candy, and evokes a wonderful mood that any SFF illustrator is sure to appreciate.
Perhaps not so coincidentally, the musician, Woodkid, was an illustrator at one point in his career.
During my classes online, I’m asked by students over and over again, ‘show me how I can improve my paintings.’ Besides needing to get better at drawing, paint mixing and application, composition, and value control-- handling light is the most overlooked aspect of...
As folks that have met me in person (or seen my meat suit on instagram) know, I have a big upper-arm tattoo of an art nouveau piece. (Shoutout to Iris Compiet, I think this was from an Spectrum or IlluXcon convention before the pandemic) Many people comment on this...

Thanks for posting, Dan.
Why is a horse rearing up in slow motion so damn awesome!?
Amazing reference, too, eh?
Good eyes @Les, I thought it was an LDS temple, it reminded me of the one in Rexburg, Idaho. But I wasn't certain about it. Then I looked up some images and you were spot on. I'm with you about looking forward to seeing the next one.
Thanks Dan, if you come across the next one, please post! Keep up the good work.
This song is my favourite!!!! But I think the Assessins' Creed revelation trailer fit this song better! http://youtu.be/bavMvN_1WOg
