    The slightly bent over pose reminds me of Artorias. Seems to be in line with the cursed sword and the losing of the mind concept.

      Same! It's not random, this slight off-balance pose sells the idea of character being sick

    Dang! Great tutorial!
    In-depth concept art tutorials like this have become a bit of a rarity. Good to see that some are still carrying the torch onwards though! :D

      Really you think?
      Because as I see it, there is not part in this that AI does not already do equally good or even better in seconds.
      Character designers really have to do better than this, to compete with AI in the future.
      Character designers got away with boring meaningless stuff like this for way to long.
      In the future it is the visual storytelling that will be the part that is the most important in this job.
      But in this video is almost no storytelling done at all.

      @@Lothrean oh shut up. May be quicker but it takes zero creativity to use AI, I'm not even an artist (that draws) and I can tell you that if someone uses AI to make art then they will never be considered a great artist or creative EVER. Only thing AI art is good for is helping come up with ideas but if an artist relies on AI for all of their ideas then they will never be great.

      @@DivineAMV AI just make variations of things that are already there.
      And maybe combines these things together randomly.
      And that is exactly what is happening in this video too.
      Good design finds solutions for problems. Good design does more than just thinking about shape, anatomy and color. This is not even design, this is just the foundation which design has to start from.

      Sorry, couldn’t resist.
      But honestly, what do you you even mean? You made no point defending the quality of the work here. Because my point still holds true even if there was no AI: There is almost no design done here.

    I love how you showed the full process from the figure to construction to putting anatomy on the figure than the clothing this is probably the most helpful video I’ve seen because it shows you how to really put all those things together thank you so much dude Frl
