cult of the lamp

im gonna put no effort into commentary

basically i entered only to test my art skill and looks like its still garbage and didnt improved much at all actually its probably looks worse then previous drawings but oh well too late to fix that

character design is still the weakest side but i tried to imitate the game graphics or style

also i gave myself another challenge and its to rush it with only 2 days to spare but it backfired and causes a small burnout and very rushed results probably better then just giving up on this mess

the original resolution is 8560 x 4815 dont know how much layers but it was enough to start lagging then i added another one so probably 80

post and forget

i think it looks pretty cool!! the color palet is very nice!
your canvas size is like very big tho :0 are u sure you cant size it down a bit? i think that might help you in the long run with the lagging n stuff so its more comfy to work on (my drawings can get to 100's in layer count sometimes and i never get any lag)

i think exporting at 16bit color depth instead of 8bit and then compression is involved and original resolution is atleast 4 times higher then uploaded
but i want the best possible quality and if its not good then im not going hard enough

but i use krita instead of photoshop cause i dislike adobe and as a starving artist paying for software is never an option so using open source alternatives is a must
so i dont prioritize effiency at all and just break the quality
and this PNG is full of mistakes
ironically exact same perfectionist and chaotic problem repeats in video editing so nothing has changed

and i dont have the best equipment that by todays standard is not even considered a budget anymore since its a discontinued gaming laptop from 2017
but if i can record in over 100mbps bit rate with just 12% CPU usage at most or be able to draw at 10240x8720 pixels (from memory) and not crash im doing something few bother to do
or im just stubborn for not trying hard enough

editing is ultra laggy but final result is clean and crystal pure the way it should be
but internet compress everything so atleast physical drives always gonna have the source quality

so right now im taking a forever brake since i bashed myself for not getting views from putting effort for years and need an absolute restart

and most of the time i dont know what im doing so its almost a guaranteed burnout before it even started

but the drawing is still terrible and very rushed while everything was done from scratch
and i think i partcially held back and did not put 100% effort cause not ready to do that
