Well done! Appreciate the nice demonstration of technique and effort, along with the relevant commentary and humor in this fun tutorial.
After watching this, you'll know a little more on how to finish artwork and a little more about yourself.
Artwork is mounted on archival pine wood panels and sealed with Kamar Varnish and finished with a couple layers of cold wax to protect the colors against UV damage.

This is an excellent video essay providing food for thought. I appreciate your meticulous process, too. Definitely sharing.
I loved this little short series. It's not just the thought-provoking rants, the sarcastic monotone (and the jokes), it's also your insight as an artist and the glimpse into your work and creative proces. Everything is absolutely worth it. Thank you for doing it.
The periodic rants about AI and Hollywood's obsessive desire for efficiency and predictability in the inherently time-consuming and unpredictable creative realm were beautiful foods for thought, emphasized by the apparent sheer amount of work you put in comics that only take me a minute at most to read through you demonstrated throughout this video. The monotone sarcasm as you tear about the AI techbros' argument that it reduces the barriers of breaking into art when breaking into art is literally as simple as finding a pencil and/or pen and not being a lazy turd was a particular highlight.
...As for the last question posed before the video ends, I am somewhat comforted in the fact that, based on the box office numbers of recent Hollywood summer blockbusters, the average layperson seems to be slowly reaching a point where they are pickier about what they consume and will no longer watch any slop put in front of them, especially in a period where studios insist on drastically driving up the prices for going to the theaters and streaming shows/movies while at the same time using A.I. to cut the cost of human employment entirely. If Hollywood thinks the solution to audiences largely rejecting every sequel or reboot this summer outside of Across the Spider-verse is to flood our screens with MORE A.I.-generated content and charging us more for the privilege of consuming it, they are going to be in for a rude awakening, not that they aren't already going through several rude awakenings at once.
Sorry for the essay of a review, but that's what happens when you give me so much food for thought!
