Not a question, and I apologize for spamming your page with likes, but I absolutely LOVE your art. I love the composition, the colors, and the grittyness of it. I adore the way your draw the Dempseys and Richtofens. I love the pieces of Stuhlinger. I feel like its hard to find people that draw him in a non-cartoon way 😭. Keep up the fantastic work!!!

Lol it’s okay. Thank you soso much!! I want to try to make my art more gritty and I reeeaaaly want to draw more Stuhlinger. Here’s some more Stuhlinger sketches I didn’t finish or post.

I have always loved your artworks. Every time I view your paintings, I am deeply drawn by the emotions and atmosphere within them. Of course, there are also those extremely powerful painting techniques that I adore... In my heart, you are the most outstanding artist I have ever known. These works are like miracles that have given me the courage to continue creating. Please don't be too anxious. The things you create are simply so wonderful!!

（Sorry if my English sounds strange — I'm using machine translation. But my feelings are real!）

Thank you so incredibly much, being able to make people feel because of my art makes me very very happy. It is genuinely an honor to get compliments like this. I’ll try to be more confident in the future. I hope you enjoy what I make in the future as much as you enjoy my current art 🩷

(Don’t worry, your English was fine!)

A bit ago I put up a poll on my Insta asking people what CoDZ ship they wanted me to draw for Pride Month. Guess who won

Do you have any art videos that you watched that helped improve your art? Like anatomy, colors, rendering, ect..

To be honest, there is only one video that comes to my mind and I cannot find it for the life of me, I’m really sorry. Anything else I would’ve watched that genuinely helped me would have been made at least 4 years ago. I deleted YouTube a few weeks ago and don’t remember watching any useful or memorable art videos in the past few years. For the longest time I’ve just been rawdogging studying other artists until stuff started to click for me.

To make up for my lack of video recommendations I will recommend a few books that helped me learn.

- Figure It Out! Human Proportions by Christopher Hart

- Color Theory by Patti Mollica

- J.C. Leyendecker by Lawrence S. Cutler, Judy Goffman Cutler, and The National Museum of American Illustration

I’m sorry I don’t have any videos, I hope you find some good ones 🙏

Hi 🥕 anon here again, any tips for Richtofen's nose?

(ignore me if you're not in the mood to explain me :D)

I treat Ultimis and Primis Richtofen’s noses the same because I doubt Treyarch edited his nose that much, if at all. Though if you did want to differentiate them then you could Ultimis Richtofen’s nose bigger, as noses continuously grow with age.

I’m giving a small anatomy lesson because it’s easier for me rather than trying to simplify what I’m thinking. I love Richtofen’s face and I’ve always thought about doing a full breakdown of his facial features. Not even for a reference or accuracy, I want to have a clear picture of what his skull, muscles, cartilage, etc etc is like under his skin. He would like that too I think.

Anyways, these are the references I usually use for his face. Sadly I don’t have a lot of good 3/4 and 3.5/4 views.

Sometimes I also use Eddie/Director Richtofen for references. I do not use BO7 Richtofen for references.

This was based off of an actual biblical painting but I literally can't find it anymore I'm so sorry, if I find it in the future I'll just edit this part.

[valkenopsia]

I forgot to post this here sorry babas. I’m still not able to find out when or where the og was made and the people who I talked to on insta didn’t have successful searches either.

(ignore me I just wanted to say I really love your art and you inspired me to draw again)

Thank you so much!!! Arrrghhhh I’m so happy I’m having a good impact on other people. Have fun drawing!! ❤️
