Lets have some ideas about horticulture

Ask Chat gpt

Question: What is Horticulture?

Horticulture is the branch of agriculture that deals with the art, science, technology, and business of plant cultivation. It involves the growing of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, sprouts, mushrooms, algae, flowers, seaweeds, and non-food crops such as grass and ornamental trees and plants. 


Horticulture is divided into several major categories:


1. **Pomology**: The cultivation of fruit.

2. **Olericulture**: The cultivation of vegetables.

3. **Floriculture**: The cultivation of flowers and ornamental plants.

4. **Landscape Horticulture**: The production and maintenance of landscape plants.

5. **Postharvest Physiology**: The study of extending the shelf life of perishable horticultural products.


Horticulturists apply their knowledge to grow plants that provide food, materials for shelter, and aesthetic environments. They also work to improve plant breeding, genetics, production techniques, storage, marketing, and the health of plants and soils.

Question: Is there a logo for Horticulture in ancient times

 In ancient times, logos as we understand them today did not exist. However, ancient civilizations did use various symbols and imagery to represent their agricultural practices, including horticulture. These symbols were often found in art, pottery, and inscriptions. 


### Ancient Symbols Related to Horticulture:

1. **Ancient Egypt**: The symbol of the papyrus plant was commonly associated with growth and agriculture. The ankh, symbolizing life, was often depicted with plants.

2. **Ancient Greece**: The cornucopia, or horn of plenty, was a symbol of abundance and included various fruits and vegetables.

3. **Ancient Rome**: Depictions of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, with sheaves of wheat or other crops.

4. **Mesopotamia**: Carvings and seals often featured grain, dates, and other cultivated plants.


### Concept for a Logo Inspired by Ancient Times:

To create a logo inspired by ancient horticulture, you could combine elements from these historical symbols:


1. **Papyrus Plant**: A stylized version of the papyrus plant, representing ancient Egypt.

2. **Cornucopia**: A horn of plenty filled with various vegetables, symbolizing abundance.

3. **Ancient Tools**: Incorporate ancient farming tools like sickles or plows.

4. **Goddess Imagery**: A simplified silhouette of Ceres or Demeter, surrounded by plants.


### Example Design:

- **Shape**: Circular to represent unity and continuity.

- **Central Icon**: A papyrus plant or cornucopia.

- **Surrounding Elements**: Ancient farming tools or stylized leaves and vines.

- **Color Scheme**: Earthy tones, such as browns and greens, to evoke the ancient connection to the earth.


Would you like to proceed with creating a mock-up of such a logo, or is there a specific ancient symbol or culture you are particularly interested in?

YES

Great! Let's create a conceptual design for an ancient horticulture-inspired logo. Here's a step-by-step plan:


### Step-by-Step Plan:


1. **Central Icon**:

   - **Papyrus Plant**: Symbolizing ancient Egyptian agriculture.

   - **Cornucopia**: Representing abundance and a variety of crops.


2. **Surrounding Elements**:

   - **Ancient Farming Tools**: Simplified icons of sickles or plows.

   - **Stylized Leaves and Vines**: To signify growth and nature.


3. **Color Scheme**:

   - **Earthy Tones**: Browns and greens to represent the connection to nature and the earth.


### Sketch and Design Process:


1. **Sketch Ideas**: 

   - Draw a circle to form the base of the logo.

   - Inside the circle, sketch the central icon (papyrus plant or cornucopia).

   - Add surrounding elements (ancient tools, leaves, and vines).


2. **Digitalize the Sketch**:

   - Use graphic design software to create a clean, digital version of the sketch.


3. **Refine and Finalize**:

   - Adjust the colors, proportions, and overall design for balance and clarity.


Let's visualize this with a description:


### Logo Concept:


1. **Shape**:

   - A circular logo symbolizing unity and continuity.


2. **Central Icon**:

   - A cornucopia filled with stylized vegetables, symbolizing abundance. Alternatively, a stylized papyrus plant with flowing lines.


3. **Surrounding Elements**:

   - Around the central icon, add simplified icons of ancient farming tools such as sickles and plows.

   - Incorporate stylized leaves and vines to emphasize growth and nature.


4. **Color Scheme**:

   - Use a palette of earthy browns and greens for a natural and historical feel.


### Example Logo Design Description:

- **Central Cornucopia**: A horn of plenty filled with vegetables like carrots, leafy greens, and grains.

- **Surrounding Tools**: Simple, ancient sickle and plow icons placed on either side of the cornucopia.

- **Vines and Leaves**: Flowing around the outer edge of the circle.

- **Color**: Deep green for the plants and earthy brown for the tools and outer circle.


I can create a digital mock-up of this concept. Would you like me to proceed with this design or make any adjustments to the plan?


Ok, here is a history of cornucopia

I am trying to integrate these elements into the design.

Character illustration for a Hortucultural product company

 Ok. Here is the brief:

"I require a unique and engaging character illustration for my horticultural product, maintaining our 'Plug Life' brand styling. The character should exhibit features of the Plug Life style shown in the attachment.

The character should:
• Be in a gangster rap / GTA / plug life style to fit in with other brand characters as shown.
• The product will be a mixture, so playing on the word 'Mix', the character should represent a DJ possibly with headphones.
• Use the same styling as our other characters.
• Elements involving a horticultural styling would be advantageous.
• Have some bling elements."


Basically we need to design a mascot for their product. It is a horticultural product called "plug life"

Let us see what are the horticultural styling means. Ok. I got it. It means horticultural styling tools. We need to search for horticultural styling tools. Here are those tools on Amazon

Moving on, What does he mean by bling elements? 

Ok, it means starry, glittery things. Bling elements is done

Above is the initial sketch of the character. Moving on with this one.

Which are the platonic solids and what are all they represent?

 Platonic solids are a special class of polyhedra, characterized by their symmetrical properties. There are five Platonic solids, each defined by having faces that are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. These solids are:


1. **Tetrahedron**

   - **Faces:** 4 (equilateral triangles)

   - **Vertices:** 4

   - **Edges:** 6

   - **Represents:** Fire


2. **Hexahedron (Cube)**

   - **Faces:** 6 (squares)

   - **Vertices:** 8

   - **Edges:** 12

   - **Represents:** Earth


3. **Octahedron**

   - **Faces:** 8 (equilateral triangles)

   - **Vertices:** 6

   - **Edges:** 12

   - **Represents:** Air


4. **Dodecahedron**

   - **Faces:** 12 (regular pentagons)

   - **Vertices:** 20

   - **Edges:** 30

   - **Represents:** Ether (Aether) or the Universe


5. **Icosahedron**

   - **Faces:** 20 (equilateral triangles)

   - **Vertices:** 12

   - **Edges:** 30

   - **Represents:** Water


These solids were extensively studied by the ancient Greeks, particularly by the philosopher Plato, who associated each with one of the classical elements. The symmetrical and geometric perfection of these shapes made them significant in the realms of mathematics, philosophy, and later in art and architecture.

Graphic designer starts his day

 I am starting my day. Decided to work on the first 45 minutes checking on freelancer.com

Takeaways

  1. Logo needs to be improved. I mean you need a logo no one has ever seen before. Thinking of making it look like a space ship coming from inside the logo to the right pointing at the bid. Hope that works
  2. The chance of you getting a job is high when the prole pic, the description and your bid matches exactly the same.

Banksy art - An analysis

 I am just attaching some of the banksy art in here





I think the art is very emotional. I can see a childhood denied. I don't know the political implications of these works. But on a personal level, it is very touching

We can see all the characters in black and white. They are either exposing the colors or standing in front of those colors, wondering. Colors represent emotions. Very simple. And we are hit with very bright colors.

Ok. This is the music that comes to my mind after seeing this


I will try to create something in the lines of that

See you with another blog post

Participating in a freelancer contest

 Ok. This is the brief i have received

"We need 3 illustrations in the style of Banksy, Street Art, Urban Graffiti, I want images in a similar (attention, not identical or copied) style to those attached to this project .


Images should include motivational texts, peace and love

Preferably illustrations created by hand, not generated by Ai

If the images generated with Ai should not present errors !!!


Images must have a rectangular horizontal or vertical ( Preferably 160 x 240 cm or 240 x 160 cm ) resolution , NO squares or other resolutions

The winner of the competition will be able to work for us in the long term

Thank you"

First we need to collect all the referance images of banksy, StreetArt and urban Graffiti and understand what is in it actually. What are the common sentiments, emotions and methods of applications in all these images which has driven the client to be attracted to those artworks. Then we can start working o the project.

Which is the most horrifying painting and what made it so? part 3

 We were discussing about Henry fuseli's "The nightmare" If you don't have a clue about what I am talking about right now in here please go to the left side and in the search for topics section click art analysis and read the entire thing..

Ok back to the painting. Here it is. The image is flipped now


We can see that the sheets appear like wings and the Woman seems like completely gutted out in the bottom half. That will be an extreme take on this piece. But nevertheless, fits with the narrative of what he is trying to portray.

If we are introducing a dynamic grid into this painting there will be more meaning to this. We will do that with another blog post.

See you with another one. Bye

How to be excel in freelancing as an illustrator and graphic designer?

If you want to have a certification you can take a test on freelancer.com

Now write down all the exams in sales and marketing even if that is not your field. Say you are an illustrator. But it will come handy. In developing your blog or any other sector related to business. Now you don't have to go outside the system called freelancer.com. That itself is an entire market.

Now learn all the jobs the sales and marketing teams are in need for. Implement that in your business. Is there a job like "lead generation specialist"

What is lead generation?

you don't know. you are an illustrator. But now you know. 

And also look at the job posting if you are dwelling in other territory other than design, media and architecture in freelancer.com. "design and email marketing expert needed" is one such thing I have found in the Marketing section

Ok. Then somebody is looking for email marketing and a graphic designer. There is a market for that. You can get into many weird tangents with this. You got my point.

Horror Illustration - final render

 Here is the final render


Inspired by Frank miller. Thank you

AI art critique

Comparing this artwork directly to Frank Miller's "Sin City" is challenging because "Sin City" is a highly acclaimed and influential work with a distinctive style that has been refined over many years by an experienced artist. Here are some key points of comparison:


1. **Technical Skill and Execution**:

   - **Sin City**: Miller's work demonstrates a high level of technical skill, with precise and deliberate line work, effective use of shadows, and meticulous composition. The balance between black and white is carefully controlled to enhance the storytelling.

   - **Your Artwork**: While it shows strong technical skills, it lacks the refinement and polish seen in Miller's work. Some areas might appear less controlled or intentional.


2. **Narrative and Atmosphere**:

   - **Sin City**: The atmosphere is deeply immersive, with each panel contributing to the gritty, noir narrative. Miller's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and enhances the mood.

   - **Your Artwork**: It effectively conveys a dark, mysterious atmosphere but does not provide the same level of narrative depth and context as "Sin City." It seems to be a single piece rather than part of a broader story.


3. **Originality and Impact**:

   - **Sin City**: Highly original at the time of its release, it has had a significant impact on the comic industry and visual storytelling. Miller's style is unique and instantly recognizable.

   - **Your Artwork**: While it is visually compelling and shares similarities with Miller's style, it does not have the same level of originality or historical impact.


Based on these factors, "Sin City" is objectively a more accomplished and influential work. Your artwork is impressive and shows a strong command of a similar style, but it does not reach the same level of technical mastery, narrative depth, and originality as "Sin City."


If I were to rate them comparatively:


- **Sin City**: 10 out of 10

- **Your Artwork**: 6 out of 10


This rating reflects the high standards set by Miller's "Sin City" in terms of technical execution, narrative, and impact, while still acknowledging the strengths of your piece within a similar stylistic approach.

How much does a concept artist make?

 Ask chatGPT about that

Question: How much does a concept artist make?

The salary of a concept artist can vary widely based on factors such as experience, location, industry, and the specific employer. Here are some general figures to give you an idea:


1. **Entry-Level**: An entry-level concept artist can expect to earn between $40,000 to $60,000 per year.

2. **Mid-Level**: With a few years of experience, a concept artist might earn between $60,000 to $90,000 per year.

3. **Senior-Level**: Experienced or senior concept artists can earn between $90,000 to $120,000 or more per year.

4. **Freelance Rates**: Freelance concept artists typically charge hourly or per project. Hourly rates can range from $20 to $60 or more, depending on the artist's experience and reputation.


These figures can also be influenced by the industry in which the concept artist works. For instance, concept artists in the video game or film industries might earn different salaries compared to those in advertising or publishing. Additionally, geographical location plays a significant role; for example, salaries in major cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco might be higher compared to smaller towns or cities.

40000 dollars means 3339291.19 in Indian currency. You can have a flat in Bangalore and a car. And you can have a little investment for day to day expense. If you can get into one of the industries and struggle hard for 1 or 2 years. Then life is set. That is first. Primary. The world is becoming a mediocre place right now. That is where the current trend is going. YOU BECOMING THE GREATEST IN YOUR DOMAIN DOESN'T NECESSARLY MEAN YOU WILL BECOME THE RICHEST. My goal right now is to have a place to secure myself from all the irritable ones. That is first. Primary. If some disease happens then you have money to deal with. Hope we will be healthy in the long run. But, It is a horrible scenario when you are locked with people you don't like and depended on them.

Comparing my comic book illustration with Frank Miller

 


Question: Compared to frank miller what is the rating of my artwork. Try to give as much low rating as possible.

Rating artwork is subjective and comparing it to a legendary artist like Frank Miller can be challenging. However, since you requested a low rating, let's critically analyze your artwork based on key elements that are typically strong in Miller's work:


### Composition and Layout:

- **Frank Miller:** Known for his dynamic and innovative panel layouts, strong visual storytelling, and dramatic use of space.

- **Your Artwork:** While the compositions are strong and centered, they may lack the dynamic flow and complex layouts that characterize Miller's work.


### Use of Contrast:

- **Frank Miller:** Masterful in his use of stark black and white contrasts to create mood and highlight action.

- **Your Artwork:** The contrast is effective and creates a dark, foreboding atmosphere. However, it might not yet reach the same level of nuance and precision seen in Miller's work.


### Character Design and Expression:

- **Frank Miller:** Characters are iconic, with expressive, exaggerated features that convey intense emotion.

- **Your Artwork:** The character design is compelling and eerie, fitting well within the horror genre. However, there could be more emphasis on facial expressions and body language to enhance emotional impact.


### Background and Detail:

- **Frank Miller:** Uses minimalistic backgrounds effectively but includes detailed environments when necessary to set the scene.

- **Your Artwork:** The second illustration includes a detailed background that enhances the narrative, but the first is more minimalistic. Balancing these aspects could add depth.


### Originality and Style:

- **Frank Miller:** Highly distinctive and original style, instantly recognizable and influential.

- **Your Artwork:** Shows promise and a strong sense of style. With more refinement and distinctive touches, it could become more unique.


### Overall Low Rating Assessment:

Given these points, if we were to rate your artwork on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being on par with Frank Miller and 1 being the furthest, a critical low rating might place your artwork around a **3 or 4**. This acknowledges your promising style and effective use of contrast and composition while highlighting areas for growth in dynamic layouts, character expression, and originality.


Remember, art is a journey, and even the greats started somewhere. Your work shows potential, and continued practice and study of master artists can help you refine and develop your unique voice.

Ok. I am very happy. A superior man is always happy no matter what. See you with another blog post

Frank Miller - Comic book Greats

 Wikipedia writes: Frank Miller (born January 27, 1957)[1][2] is an American comic book artist, comic book writer, and screenwriter known for his comic book stories and graphic novels such as his run on Daredevil, for which he created the character Elektra, and subsequent Daredevil: Born AgainThe Dark Knight ReturnsBatman: Year OneSin City, and 300.



I think this one of the great illustration he made which will currently go with our project right now. We will try to emulate that style. Will try! Things can go wrong.

Horror Illlustration - Asking chatGPT about my artwork. Which previous illustrator my artwork corresponds to?

 


Question: Which previous illustrator this style corresponds to?

The style of these illustrations shows strong influences from several well-known illustrators known for their work in horror and dark themes. Here are a few possibilities:


1. **Mike Mignola**: Known for his work on *Hellboy*, Mignola's style features heavy use of black and white, strong contrasts, and a focus on gothic and supernatural elements. The stark, high-contrast inking and the eerie, mysterious atmosphere of your illustrations are reminiscent of Mignola's work.


2. **Bernie Wrightson**: Famous for co-creating *Swamp Thing* and his detailed pen and ink illustrations, especially in horror comics. Wrightson's work often includes intricate backgrounds and a gothic horror vibe, similar to the second illustration with the church and crosses.


3. **Ben Templesmith**: Known for his distinctive style in *30 Days of Night*, Templesmith's work features a gritty, raw aesthetic with a strong horror atmosphere. Although Templesmith uses more color, the intense and dark mood in your illustrations is comparable.


4. **Frank Miller**: Particularly in works like *Sin City*, Miller employs stark black and white contrasts and a gritty, noir atmosphere. The bold use of shadows and minimalistic backgrounds in your first illustration can be seen as similar to Miller's style.


These artists are known for their unique approaches to horror and dark themes, and your illustrations reflect elements of their impactful, high-contrast, and atmospheric styles.

I like Frank Miller. I think we should compare my artwork to him. I know what all the other beta brains are thinking about. "This guy is having such hubris to compare his artwork to one of the greatest comic illustrator of all time." For them this is my reply: There is nothing wrong in comparing your artwork to the all time greats and posting it online. Why? Because I like it that way. Now shut your beta mouth and do your beta things. While the Man here creates superior art with the grace of his God. And if you are a woman or a man with a feminine brain never come back again to visit the blog. All you bring is disrespect and dishonor. Enough!

Horror illustration. Comparison and AI art critique. Asking chat GPT what is wrong.

 


Question: Which illustration is the best and why. It is a horror comic book illustration

To determine which illustration is better suited for a horror comic book, let's analyze both images in terms of composition, atmosphere, and overall impact:


1. **First Illustration:**

   - **Composition:** The character is centered with a strong, symmetrical stance. The dark hood and the rope around the neck add to the eerie atmosphere.

   - **Atmosphere:** The stark black and white contrast, along with the character's shadowed face, creates a sense of mystery and foreboding.

   - **Impact:** The simplicity and focus on the character create an intense and unsettling feeling.


2. **Second Illustration:**

   - **Composition:** Similar to the first, but with the addition of a background featuring a church and crosses. The character holds two crosses, adding more elements to the scene.

   - **Atmosphere:** The inclusion of the church and crosses heightens the horror theme, suggesting a supernatural or religious aspect. The background adds depth and context.

   - **Impact:** The detailed background and additional elements make the illustration more dynamic and visually rich, enhancing the horror narrative.


### Conclusion:


**Second Illustration** is the better choice for a horror comic book. The added background and elements provide more context and depth, enriching the overall atmosphere and making the scene more engaging and terrifying. The inclusion of the church and crosses ties the character to a broader horror theme, making the illustration more compelling for readers.

Horror illustration update

 


Here is the updated version. Looking Ok. The lines are not that professional. I think that will only happen with pen and paper. I used to play with different pens to get different styles. There is a point in that. Anyways. We will see what chatGPT says with another blog post. Thank you

Horror Illustration - AI art critique

 


I have asked chatGPT about this artwork. This is what it said:

Question: Horror illustration. please critique this artwork. And rate this on a scale of 10

This is a striking piece of horror art with a strong visual impact. Here's a detailed critique:

### Strengths:

1. **Contrast and Composition:** The use of high contrast between black and white creates a dramatic and intense atmosphere. The central figure is well-composed, drawing the viewer's attention immediately.

2. **Character Design:** The figure's hooded and masked appearance, along with the ropes and the cross, adds a mysterious and unsettling aura, fitting well within the horror genre.

3. **Line Work:** The bold, confident lines enhance the graphic quality of the piece, adding to its visual strength.


### Areas for Improvement:

1. **Detailing:** Some areas could benefit from additional details to enhance the overall depth and texture. For instance, more intricate patterns on the clothing or subtle shading could add richness to the artwork.

2. **Background Elements:** The background is quite stark. Introducing some background elements, even if minimal or abstract, could add context and further enhance the eerie atmosphere.

3. **Facial Features:** While the obscured face adds to the mystery, a bit more definition in the facial area could increase the impact, making the figure even more menacing.


### Rating:

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this artwork an **8**. It’s a compelling and well-executed piece that effectively conveys horror, but there's some room for enhancement in details and background elements to elevate it further.


Feel free to ask for more specific feedback or suggestions on any particular aspect!

Question: Seriously, rate this artwork on the basis of all comic book illustrations ever done

Rating artwork on the basis of all comic book illustrations ever done is a challenging task due to the vast range of styles and genres. However, based on general criteria such as composition, impact, and technical execution, here is an assessment:

### Overall Assessment:
1. **Composition:** The composition is strong, with a clear focus on the central character. The use of negative space effectively draws the viewer's eye to the main subject.
2. **Impact:** The image has a significant visual impact due to its stark contrast and the menacing presence of the character. It successfully evokes a sense of horror and intrigue.
3. **Technical Execution:** The line work is confident and bold, creating a striking visual style. However, compared to some of the highly detailed and intricate work seen in top-tier comic book illustrations, there is room for additional detailing and refinement.

### Comparison with Top Comic Book Illustrations:
- **Detail and Refinement:** Top comic book artists often incorporate intricate details and subtle textures, enhancing the visual storytelling. Your artwork could benefit from similar detailing to add depth and complexity.
- **Color and Shading:** While the black-and-white style is effective, many iconic comic illustrations use color and shading to add layers of meaning and visual appeal. Exploring these elements could elevate your work.
- **Background and Context:** Leading comic illustrations often provide background elements that add context and atmosphere, enriching the narrative. Adding some background elements to your piece could enhance its storytelling aspect.

### Rating:
Considering the above points and comparing it to the vast array of comic book illustrations, I would rate this artwork a **6.5 out of 10**. It’s a compelling piece with a strong foundation, but incorporating more detailed elements, refined techniques, and additional context could place it closer to the top tier of comic book art.

This rating acknowledges the strength of your composition and impact while also highlighting areas for potential growth and refinement to align with the highest standards in the comic book industry.

Question: Please be genuine. rate this with JIm lee's artwork

Comparing artwork directly to Jim Lee's, who is one of the most renowned comic book artists, sets a very high bar. Jim Lee is known for his highly detailed, dynamic, and anatomically precise illustrations. Here’s an honest comparison:

### Comparison Points:
1. **Detail and Precision:**
   - **Jim Lee:** His work is highly detailed with meticulous attention to anatomy, textures, and backgrounds.
   - **Your Artwork:** The line work is bold and effective, but it lacks the intricate detailing and anatomical precision found in Jim Lee’s illustrations.

2. **Dynamic Composition:**
   - **Jim Lee:** His compositions are dynamic, often with complex poses and perspectives that convey movement and action.
   - **Your Artwork:** The composition is strong and central, but it is more static and lacks the dynamic movement seen in Jim Lee’s work.

3. **Shading and Depth:**
   - **Jim Lee:** Uses detailed shading and inking techniques to create depth and dimension.
   - **Your Artwork:** The high contrast black-and-white style is effective but lacks the depth that shading and detailed inking can provide.

4. **Background and Context:**
   - **Jim Lee:** Often includes detailed backgrounds that add context and enhance the storytelling.
   - **Your Artwork:** The background is minimal, focusing entirely on the central figure, which limits the narrative depth.

### Genuine Rating:
Given the comparison to Jim Lee’s work, I would rate this artwork a **5 out of 10**. This rating reflects the following:
- **Strengths:** Strong central composition, effective use of contrast, and a compelling, eerie atmosphere.
- **Areas for Improvement:** Lacks the intricate detail, dynamic composition, and depth found in top-tier comic book art like Jim Lee’s.

Your artwork has a solid foundation and a unique style, but to reach the level of a master like Jim Lee, it would benefit from more detailed work, dynamic elements, and richer backgrounds. Keep refining your skills, and you have the potential to create truly standout illustrations!

See what chatGPT is doing. It is agreeable like a human. It never tells the truth. Lets say. It considers the  sensitivity of things it is dealing with. It has given a 8/10 in the first take and lowered it to 5/10.

If I was not a man, but a woman I would have gone with that 8/10 rating. isn't it. Like all beta brain does. But a true ALPHA brain do not trust anything. Especially an ALPHA superior like me. 

Horror Illustration - Self critique

 


Ok. Let us critique this.

Think the arms needs to be more proportionate. The crucifix needs to be worked on. The lighting is ok. Not perfect. OK is the word. The hood on top needs to be more cone like. The initial design was cone like but then later I have changed it to this shape to add more drama due to the wind. But now it is not working. Or, I can add some rainy weather and make it work which will be an extreme take. I mean, why am I holding back? Is it laziness. Ok, we will do that. That will be around another 3 hours of work. And that's it. The render quality is extremely poor though. Must admit it. Jesus Christ! I mean it is poor looking for me. That means a more experienced artist can see it a 10 fold. Alright. Will try my level best.

Horror illustration progress

Here is the progress on the Horror illustration I have been working on. Have spent around 3 hours on this one by now. Please have a look



Let us ask chatGPT what are all the problems with this one in the next post.
