Concept art - in the making

 

What is the art score?

Roughly around 780 to 800.

I am trailing behind 110 points from the previous works I had 2 years prior.

I lost that momentum. 

That is what happened.

will catch up to that.

2-3 years of deep structural training, I will hit the ceiling.

And I am not going to participate.

I will be there to dominate.

It is not going to be a 950.

I am aiming at a 1000.

A perfect 10.

Dream 24 - 05 - 2026

I was in the passenger seat of a helicopter.

The pilot is saying he is about to hit 9 g, and then together we must jump outside.

I put on the mask.

But when the gravity hits, I begin drowsing.

I can still hear him talking.

At some point I began completely asleep.

Like paralyzed.

The pilot opened the main hatch door and said to me,

"Don't do this to me."

I tried to make an effort.

But it was the fear of jumping along with laziness that got me stuck there.

The dream ends

Color study

 


What do you hate?

Do you hate women?

Do you hate your fellow men?

Do you hate people in general?

The truth is, it is a rebellion against God. 

This is not philosophy or pretty words. 

That is the TRUTH

What it means to be an elite artist. Concept artist and digital artist included?

If you score a 950 ArtScore, then only 1000 people in this whole world are of your skill set.

And these people know each other. They are sitting in their glass houses and looking down on the peasant artists, who are below 900. You need a revolution to bring down this bourgeois class.

They sit on top of the pyramid and eat all the goods. Only breadcrumbs for the peasants.

A mass revolution must happen to bring them down.

This will be my stand until I reach 950. Lmao

Is Victor Staris good?

He ranges around 830 to 890.

Professional. Industry standard.

He makes it look easy, though.

There is no decision fatigue.

The thing about him is he is so conservative. There is no experimentation.

Very strong in composition and weak in line and form.

I think he is very natural in finding the best composition. That is his confidence.

If he is working on line and form, he will be pushing past 930. No problem.

But most environmental designers don't work on those elements.

What is success in art?

If I reach a score above 950, then it is a success. 

Does that mean financial success?

No. If you want financial success, you can start a YouTube channel and create content that is of very low quality. like drawing eyes like a fish.

Do you want to consider it as a success? Then go for it.

But it won't give me fulfillment.

It is like a person who is very successful outside but suffers internally.

In order to feel really good inside, you must move a mountain. Even if nobody is seeing it, that will be with you. Nobody can take it away. Or do some bafoonery and call yourself a success.

Sheild bash render update

 

Here is the update.

What I think about this piece.

This one performed better than the previous one.

But this is not my best piece so far.

That is still that one in the Yatrik page. The tail of the dragon.

That is a solid 830 to 850 range.

This one stands around 750 to 790.

That is like a 50-point gap.

But I have learned more new things with this one.

Ok.

What I did wrong.

1. I used hard edges first. Big mistake. Never do that. I used it to avoid muddy colors. But that is a problem to be solved in the future.

You need to avoid muddy colors and render, keeping the compositional integrity.

Basically, it is a battle between colors and lines.

Both these fundamental elements stand in polar opposites.

You can use a more disciplined approach to your paintings. That will solve that issue.

Better luck next time.

2. The force architecture is not at all close to what I have imagined. And the foreshortening is also bad. 


Verdict:

Can make it work if you do some heavy lifting on it.

That will push it to around the 800 - 830 range.


***If you are not interested in ArtScore, I totally agree with you. Some of my favorite pieces from other artists also have a very low score. But I like it. But why I use it is because there is a sense of improvement. That is the only reason. If you are a beginner artist, the only thing you should care about is the score, which correlates to presentation readiness. This one has a presentation readiness of around 70 to 80. If you pass 90 out of 100, you can call it an artwork. If you are in your 500s, then only bother about that. Don't bother about anatomy, perspective, or anything else; just only focus on presentation readiness.

Software for recording timelapse

 Clip studio paint.

If you can buy that, then it is really good. You can use the trial version and convince yourself.

I am not able to buy it now.

It has some problem with the payment gateway.

They still haven't sorted that thing out.

But I like that software.

Very simple. No drama. Straight to the point

Dream 9/05/2026

I had this strange demonic attack.

I don't know whether it is a demonic attack or something.

But felt like it.

I felt a strong presence in the room attacking me in my heart. My heart was beating like a drum.

I am scared. Strange fear. Fear out of the blue. I haven't felt fear like that before.

Out of 10, it was a 6. Let us not exaggerate things. Keep everything under check.

And I am praying. Not conscious. Fear went away.

Then sleeping.

In the dream I am about to cut a tree in the backyard of my home. My native place. Adoor. The place where I grew up.

A giant tree means a giant tree. It was like 10 meters in diameter.

I called some workers and tasked them with the job.

I went together with them, and there was an axe. A big one. It was as big as me. Well, I am not that big. kind of a shrimp. But the axe was really big. We did the job, though.

What does it mean?

Is it having some sort of relevance?

I had a dream previously where the priest called me to have a talk. 

But I didn't go to church after that.

I have avoidant personality disorder.

I am more like Jonah in the Bible.

Now I am thinking about it; it was not tree cutting; it was like building something up. wood to build things. 

I want a home or family. It was back in my mind. Maybe that is the thing. 

Or is it an ark?

Is it a flood coming?

What happens after you die?

There is no proof that there is life after death.

Scientifically it cannot be proven. Science is a method through which you can infer data and reach a rational conclusion through your senses. 

Now, if one has extra sensory perception, they may have some clue.

I don't have that.

Can we rely on data that our brain captures through dreams and visions?

It can be interpreted as patterns generated from noise.

What about authentic spiritual experiences people have encountered?

I don't know.

Have I encountered it?

I had some demonic attacks. I call it so.

I felt it while I was sleeping. I felt a strong presence. My heart was beating like a drum. I don't know from where it came. What is the reason for a sudden fear out of the blue? 

Is that so big of a fear?

It was a 5 or 6 out of 10. 

Maybe I was having a heart attack at that time and felt like a demonic attack.

Or is it having some more significance?

What am I fighting in here?

Some void or something.

Do people of other faiths suffer this?

Or is it only special to Christianity?

Is it some sort of deep psychological phenomenon that is happening in the deep archetypal layers?

Or is it outside you and is completely real?

Am I interested in spirituality right now?

No.

Total bs crap. 

I want to escape from this total shit right now.

Synesthesia and design

If the shape design and the sound don't match, it will create cognitive dissonance if one has synesthesia. But in order to perceive aesthetics, you need to have some degree of synesthesia. 

See the image above. it is called Bouba -kiki effect
The positional design on the left is read as kiki and the curvature design is read as bouba cross culturally.

That means if the letters don't match the desired sound, it must be expecting that, which will create cognitive dissonance. The first language to tackle this issue is Sanskrit.

๐‘€ฐ ๐‘€ฑ ๐‘€ฒ ๐‘€ณ

Important things you need to understand (don’t skip)

  • This is not an alphabet like English

  • Brahmi is an abugida:

    • Each consonant already includes an “a” sound

    • Example:

      • ๐‘€“ = ka (not just “k”)

  • Other vowels are added using marks/modifications


What this actually represents

These characters are from the earliest standardized form used in inscriptions of
Ashoka (3rd century BCE)

๐Ÿ‘‰ This is the ancestor of almost all Indian scripts:

  • Devanagari

  • Tamil script

  • Malayalam script


Brutally honest reality

  • You can copy these shapes, but you can’t really “read” Brahmi without learning:

    • vowel markers

    • phonetic rules

    • historical variations

This is not just letters—it’s a system logic.


One-line takeaway

Early Brahmi is a sound + structure system, not just symbols—
that’s why it evolved into so many scripts later.


If you want, I can:

  • Show how ๐‘€“ (ka) transforms step-by-step into เค• (Devanagari) and เด• (Malayalam)

  • Or give you a stroke-by-stroke drawing guide (useful for your art work)
