@daarken

amazing work, nice to watch it in normal speed ;)

how big is the original size? round about 6300*5300@72dpi ?

[daarken]

@RtistikIAm Thanks! Actually this video is all filmed in real-time. I only skip ahead in some of the more boring/tedious areas so that the video isn't 4 hours long :). I never liked watching videos that are sped up, so I always try to film everything in real-time.

[RtistikIAm]

always loved your work daarken, and your values and lighting are sublime, also like the fact that this is not so sped up, it allows me to see your process properly :D

@daarken thanks, sorry I think I read/heard a few people mention the lack of audio as though it was left out but I didn't know there wasn't any in the first place. Love the work anyways :)

[daarken]

@cr0uchingtiger Unfortunately there is no audio with this video. When I recorded it I had no intention of recording audio and I did not have the time to record the audio because this tutorial was for a written format. If I have time I will try and go back and record some audio.
