Just Draw - Twilight Monk vs Undead Giant

I started this piece a couple of years ago, and finally decided to call up a buddy and chat for a few hours while I finish it up. Since I got a handy youtube channel, I thought I'd cut a video together and show you the process. I didn't record the initial sketch, and I wish that I had in hindsight.

Brother, your art is Final Boss level. I just started drawing, but watching the way you play with the brush like its an old friend reminds me of the discipline of a samurai. I've listened to your videos for almost a year now, and your love of the craft, respect for the journey, and dedication to doing what you love is absolutely contagious. I don't know you personally, but I love you for it, man. Thanks for being a light guiding the way. You have taught me to respect the journey and love the process; not just at art, but at everything in life.

Really awesome stuff Trent, cool to see that your traditional work looks exactly like your digital stuff

[bjwalters]

[jof]

What you do digital you can also make it the traditional way. You are just outstanding duuude!!!!

[thegrimwilds]

This is so amazing! That giant's tongue curves straight towards the main character which is helping to frame the piece. Amazing work!

[theamateurpoint]

Oh I absolutely adore this video. The artwork and the music is just incredible. Even the frame. Amazing, amazing!!! I just want to go draw right now....but it's 1:30 am, baby is sleeping next to me and i have to work tomorrow...but i'm sure that in an parallel universe i am painting right now. 😜

So cool to watch your process when you do traditional art, Trent! Would love to see more! Thanks for uploading!

[RPERIARTWORKS]

Love the contrast of black and white...as a former inker, I can more than appreciate and respect how you render. Great work :)

[dandrawsok]

Love this, love your inking style it is very expressive.

[lirila]

This is a whole level of badassery!! It makes me wonder what would happen if the giant from Giants Crown came back to life...

[greatzwentibold]

I wish that Gumroad had a section to review products because can I just say that your Box Set of Tutorials Vol 6 is AMAZING! Thank you for taking the time to share your processes and techniques with us! This is the most comprehensive list of tutorials I have found that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! And I live in South Africa where the exchange rate (USD) sucks for us. So thank you! Anyone who just wants to get better at drawing and get better at their art and their processes should definitely make this investment. It's totally worth it!

[natrullan]

Aww .. I was expecting- “My dudes what’s happenin ..”😄😄

[brucenunn]

Happy Halloween Trent.! Would you ever consider selling this piece.? Would like to own it.!

[AndrewMaksym]

[mattiaugrotto]

Amazing as always!! I wish one day I could be at your laver or even better..

[nuvodraws]
