Show the art you took longer to make in a matter of hours or days.

The only time I took time to make a drawing was 5 or 7 hours. I lost the drawing I made on paper in my old house. 😭

I worked on this about 30 minutes at a time on my lunch breaks and a few hours every weekend for two straight months. I don't think I have this kind of patience anymore.

I used to draw with a mouse and it was common for me to take weeks to complete something.

Around 4-5 hours, simply because I tried to make it symmetrical.

This took me about 10 days, because big detailed backgrounds are not my thing. Usually it takes me 3-4 days to create a painting, or even less (this is if I don’t get up from my workplace at all, no breaks, goodbye health).


This took me like 8 hrs. to finish, I still feel the pain in my hand after I posted the work.

It took me a year to finish this because of procrastination

But if i draw nonstop this one is the longest time to finish. It took me 3 days to finish it

I recall this model of my persona being a several week endeavor, as 3D modeling isn't my preferred medium, weight-painting is a chore, and making the clothes go over a base model was a new challenge for me.



Spent around two weeks putting this together for Pixel Day. I don't even really like how it came out, there's too much empty space between some of the characters and some of them look like they were kind of "pasted in" instead of having a natural position in the crowd. I should've paid more attention to the character placement during the early stages, and dedicating some time to an actual background would've been a good idea too. Kind of a waste of time when you realize you screwed up very late into the process, but it happens, I guess.

I'm also still slowly chipping away at a comic I was supposed to finish for the Sweet Sixteen Comic Contest back in December, so I guess that's the one that actually took the longest.

This from just the rendering alone. I've never really been one to render so this is probably my best example of that.

This. I already explained it in the description, but for the TL;DR, it took 4 days to make this.

Definitely this one:



It almost took me the whole month to finish, probably would've taken less time if I hadn't been trying to do 3 projects at the same time.

This is from around 3 years ago and it took me around a week and a half to finish πŸ’€


Looking back at it, I give props to myself for doing a crowded shot a few years back, but it looks really goofy now that I look back at it.

iu_1186332_12978769.webp


In more recent terms, I'd say this one



It took me around 3 to 4 days actually, and I'm way busier nowdays than I was a few years ago, thing is that I wanted to make this efficient and my passion for art has pretty much skyrocketed ever since.

I recently did one that took me almost two months (7 weeks) to finish due to redraws, artist's blocks and self doubt.


In the past, I tried making a complete comic book, but it took over a year to finish, and it still turned out to be... less than adequate. Later, I attempted it again, but tried to keep it simpler (such as greyscale) and it still didn't work out.

Took me 17 hours over the course of a week, I wanted every drawing to pop out, plus it was just a massive compilation. It's a poster for a webcomic I haven't released yet so not many people have seen it. I was planing on doing a bunch more, but like 6 hours in I decided it was time to stop.

It literally has humility, patience and hope

I think this art that should have finished in 1 week, ended up finished in 2 week. This is ambitious art for easter celebration that I want to finish before April but can't, and that makes me lost motivation and ended up procrastinating in two days so that push more delays... but in the end, I'm glad finished it.

This took forever to draw the two characters, their costumes, with props, and furniture AND architecture all in perspective.

These two took me a pretty lenghty time. Not the best idea to do big art projects when also working on a game.

Not counting comics, right? Then this one.

Took so long and it basically bombed on Newgrounds. But it was successful on Reddit. I remember this taking long.

And I just realized I forgot the 666 on my username. FUCK!

Remarkable urban infrastructure, the geometries are on point and I love the great scale with the vertical field of view

Took me a lot of time because it's a comic.

WOW

You rocked hard, dude

It was this RWBY fanart that I made as an homage to CRWBY after Warner Bros decided to close down the studio.


I think I spent 10-12 hours doing it out of sheer melancholy, a lot of people may complain about RWBY on the internet, but I only saw the series in 2023, without any type of nostalgic attachment, and thought it was great.
