This would be really cool if it was computer drawn, but the fact that it's acrylic amazes me! Such a great job on the linework and coloring.

ahh thanks so much for the kind words. I get a greater sense of satisfaction painting it on canvas. There's a magic to it that a screen just can't provide. Cheers! : )

This looks very dope and the technique to produce this on canvas is a little bit mindblowing to me. Do you tape everything multiple times or is there another technique to get those perfect sharp lines?

Thank you! ✨

I created the concept in Illustrator, then I basically just followed it like a blueprint when I was ready to actually paint it. I put a ton of hours into this thing, taking time to measure everything out and mix every color really intentionally. I started by getting all of my shapes/values/mountains in place, then I went back over everything and brightened all of the colors one disco moon beam at a time. I used tons of tape. It was very tedious, but totally worth it!

Cheers! : )

Amazing. Sounds like a lot of effort but yes - I agree - worth it.

I love that you share details on how you do this work. So much goes into it and you are incredible. I saw this when it was posted to your site and instantly came to reddit to upvote, but you hadn't shared it yet.

I know how detailed your acrylic work typically is, but it still took me a bit to really be sure it wasn't a digital design.

I'm going to share a time lapse of the progression pics as well as a fun action reel to show how I did it!

Cheers! 🤘👽🤘

This is fantastic! I love the colors and the moonbeams add such charm (I love how they directly illuminate the trees!). Excellent work!

My hand is not steady enough for this. My mountains would be wavy. Love the lighting on this.

My brain believes you that you did this on canvas but my eyes still don’t! It’s amazing! Can we got some close up shots at the intersections of light and shadow your perception is amazing!

This is painted?

If that is true you have some amazing talent.

Mindblowing isn't it. He gives a lot of details how he makes these in a lot of other comments. Love his previous work and it still made me question if it was digital or a painting.

EasterBunnyArt t1_j9pywim wrote

Not only that but the color distinctions are so clean I love it. Everything is neat and in its proper place.

When I see this, I think of the bandGiraffe Tongue Orchestra with their song Blood Moon Rising.

It's perfect.

I don’t know if my edible is enhancing it, but there’s something about this that I love and that makes me a little uncomfortable at the same time. Great piece

Edit: I’m very happy I checked out your profile, you’re a master of colour theory and perspective

This is so satisfying to look at. The composition and the colors hit just right! And I love the trees in their little spotlights.

Ayo - I set this as my phone lock screen background thingy a few days ago, and I dug this post up from my history just to tell you that it has been making me extremely fucking happy every time I pull this contraption out of my pocket and get to see it, so much so that my beautiful lady, even with her infinite patience for me, is getting kind of sick of hearing about how much I enjoy my new phone background.

Keep it up - your shit's tiiiiiiiiight.
