Artist: @clockworkreapers
The New Addition to the Night Shift.
I usually leave a message in the tag section of an art post talking about how much I appreciate both the artist and the piece I’ve commissioned from them, but this time I didn’t really feel like that would get across just how much appreciation I actually have, especially with the character limit on tags.
Every time I get a piece done by them, I honestly can’t help but just sit there and be amazed by their skill and talent. To me, visual art is an incredible thing to experience, even from the perspective of someone who can’t create it themselves, but one of the things I enjoy most is seeing my own ideas and concepts realized into some kind of tangible form. That’s especially true when it’s done to such a high degree. People can say there are better artists, but I’ve never really agreed with that way of looking at art. Every artist has their own unique style and way of expressing themselves, and that’s what makes experiencing different kinds of art such a treat in the first place.
With every piece I get from them, it feels like their style and skill continue to grow. One of the things they capture perfectly every single time is personality. The expression, the pose, and the overall presentation always feel incredibly fitting, no matter how simple the piece itself may be. Their work ends up feeling believable and full of a certain presence that makes it feel less like you’re looking at an art piece and more like you’re looking at the character themselves.
They’re a lovely artist and genuinely a delight to talk to. I think anyone who comes across this post should, at the very least, take a look through their page and the incredible collection of work they’ve created over the years, whether that’s their own original characters or characters from other series like Iron Lung and Tales From the Gas Station.
