The sounds starting at 1:10 , I played that game so much as a kid that theyre imprinted into my head so I got chills when I heard them on your vid..

You really got the vision and I love your approach of just honestly getting there and trying to map these ineffable places.. Can't wait to see more of your animations .

wow this is truly visionary work man, amazing. Im currently trying to teach myself to paint with oils, a bit of a learning curve there but the paint is a dream to work with compared to the acrylics ive tried.

Yes it sounds familiar I was also realy amazed by the quality's of oils. But acrylics could also be used in the first layers then you paint over it with oils. that way you combine the the advantages of both media.

That's true- I've done some of my favorite pieces that way... The acrylics are great for geometric structural elements, since you can rest your hand on the canvas and really work the precise stuff... Then you come back with oils, which have more fluid workability and produce a creamier overall look. It's also easier to get a more vibrant overall look with oils.

Did you build a digital model for the second one?

No I was not experimenting with digital stuff back then. Its all drawn in graphite and then painted in.

Very cool how your painted and digital works sort of converged toward the same look...
