 Oh Audiences on YouTube seem to have a fascination with comparisons $1 spoon vs $1,000 spoon $1 ice cream vs $1,000 ice cream $1 burp vs $1,000 burp I thought I would create a video about this fascination Focusing on illustration and art as the subject So here is what I did I created six different artwork concepts and also listed some illustration styles that I was interested in seeing I gave this information to a friend of mine along with a budget of $250 Australian dollars and told them to get all of these ideas made by different artists This would ensure that I haven't seen any of the images prior to recording this video Very important My friend then compiled these finished artworks into a PDF and we're going to scroll through them together for the first time ever today I really hoped my money went to good use and I hope these artists were nice to me and my character After I've reviewed them all I'm going to attempt to guess how much each of them cost I apologize in advance to the artist if I completely butcher that bit I'm sorry Later in the video I will reveal something top secret that I've created with one of these artworks so stay tuned to find out what it is I'm super excited for it Okay So these are the individual costs $6.66 The little devil $23.92 $33.25 $39.91 $45.49 $71.25 Making a grand total of 214 and 9 cents AUD Not too shabby on the budget Let's begin Okay so I have the file open now I've been told that there's going to be a blank screen between each of the artworks So Oh my god That's so cute I didn't know that they were going to add like the sketches and stuff in it as well I'm a really big fan of the colors All shades of green that I really like The little butterflies They're so cute I really do like the trees in the background I feel like it gives the artwork depth The way they've like adjusted my character with the hair and everything I'm a big fan of that The butterflies are so cute I really hope this is a reoccurring theme with all these artworks how these artists have adapted my character into their style It's going to be real disappointing if someone's just traced my character and not adapted it at all Let's hope that doesn't happen In terms of price If this would sit on the scale it could be anything honestly So I guess it's time to move on to the next one and see how it compares It's the lo-fi study style It's so good There's a lot of things in this picture that are actually in my room I mean, the jelly's not in my room But pretty much everything else is and I can't stress enough how accurate and amazing this is So with this background there's actually a lot of jelly just props and stuff in this so you could probably recognise the curtains the dreamcatcher the lava lamps the lemonade They're all things that in every single video And now the things that are actually in my actual room are the little dog His name is Davis He's a childhood favourite And no, it's not a real chicken leg I've got a pop plant and my Blue Yeti microphone And the headphones And see these little guys over here They're the wobbly boys A.K.A. you I'm a really big fan of this because it's a relaxed sort of chippy style And all the colours and everything together kind of just blends in and works So they've really nailed that lo-fi study vibe It kind of sums up my whole personality and all my interest even the chicken leg Coming up in a future video this chicken leg will have its green time Please wish him well in the comments The lo-fi design was so on brand I've made some slight adjustments to it and you can get it as merch Woohoo! On my store right now you can get this exact design on a t-shirt and hoodie It's available for a limited time so get yours fast while they're still here I really like this design on the more aesthetic colours but I made sure to include plain black and white too if you're not into that We're off to a really good start and again I have no idea where this would sit on the scale so let's continue with the video I see the text and it says chippy style That is so cute! Ok first I really like the jelly surrounding me because that's the colours of my intro and this goes to show that you don't need heaps of detail to make art look good because that is cute! As you can see they have adapted the character very well and they've changed a few things here and there but it's still very recognisable and it's still really cute! I don't know how many times I need to say that I also really love the shines in my hair and the little blushies on my face I have a feeling this one is probably on the lower end of the scale just because of how simple this is but we're saying that I would pay good money for this because cute! Scrolling, scrolling the next one I see is anime style I'm very excited! The detail in this I really really really love this one but I really love all of them so far so I can't say This one is really really cool This is exactly what I mean about having a character adapted to their art style Look at how many changes this artist has made with his own intuition and yet it's still really recognisable as my own character Look! I have ears! He's completely changed my outfit which I will explain in a second He's also detached the hoodie so everything kind of works together in his piece and it's kind of like a little beanie in this which is really cute He's also interpreted the fringe or bangs if you say really well in his style which is completely different to mine but it works just as well If not better! I also really like the pink and yellow highlights throughout the hair and clothes I think that's a really cool touch Also how the hair and eyes match the sky in the background that's just a MWAH! 10 out of 10! Okay so let me just explain the concept of this Quite a while ago I actually got some fanart from someone who made this on the screen right now It's a jellybender! So I took the concept and sent this fanart to my friend who sent it to this artist so he could interpret it himself So that's exactly what you're seeing here when it comes to the outfit and the floating bubbles This looks like it could be from a real anime So a big shout out goes to ForceDodo for the inspiration of this piece It's amazing! Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling I see the text for pixel style Oh my god it's so cool Look at the little enclet! It's like full little squares! Now the art style finally matches my theme music Some of you guys might actually recognize this art piece because it is on my crowd made store on jumpers and shirts SHURTS! So I wanted to see another artist reinvent the design This has been made really accurately despite only using pixels He's not only made the gradient look consistent but it also still looks like I'm in the jelly This also really gives me some old school video game vibes This is the final one and I'm scrolling and I see cartoon slash manga style That's so detailed I absolutely love this artist style I'm seeing my character looking directly at the viewer As you can see the hair looks pretty different The artist has done a really good job at translating this to their style Also I wish I could hold two plates of jellies Speaking of the jellies I really like how the colors are desaturated so they don't distract too much from the actual character It's also a really minor detail but I do like the color because it matches well with my skin tone and hair color Normally if I draw my character holding some jelly the plate is usually silver but I feel like this works out better The eyes Oh my god they are so pretty and they also match really well with the rest of the piece Look there's even purple in there Honestly I can't think of anything that needs any sort of improvement with this piece It is just amazing There's no other word Overall This was not how I expected things would turn out I thought maybe one or two artworks might be like outcasted from the rest I'm really happy with what I got for my budget and however it is split up it is definitely worth it and I Honestly I'm just speechless Speaking of budget let's try and guess which one belongs where So I've actually got a tier list maker right here and I'm going to guess which one belongs where This is going to be really hard so wish me luck and to the artist if you're watching this I am very sorry if I get your prices wrong Okay so the one that I feel like I have right is the chibi one and I feel like that's probably going to be the lowest tier the $6.66 just because it's a simple design so I'm just going to place that little boy there Also if I got a really good price with the pixel art I feel like that could be an option in this tier level as well so I'm going to put the pixel art in the $6.66 tier as well just because I'm a bit unsure of where where he's going so I'm just going to pop him there So I think it might be easier if I try and guess the most expensive one and my gut is telling me it's the jelly bender one so I'm just going to move that one up to the $71.25 tier so now it's these three bad boys left and I am stuck I want to put the holding jelly and the lo-fi jelly artworks in the $45.49 tier but I'm not sure which one will go lower so I'm just going to place both of those there and I'm probably going to put the children illustration in the middle okay now I'm very stuck so now I have to move one up and one down I'm going to move the pixel art to the $23.90 tier and with the other tier no idea even though the lo-fi one has a background in everything I feel like it's a very chill sort of art form so maybe they might it might be $39 I'm just going to slide it there but I am still very very very unsure and this is my final tier list now let's see if I'm correct all of the artists commissioned in this video did an amazing job and are going to be linked in the description below they were all kind enough to let me use their art publicly like this and they're all super talented so if you need any illustration or art related services give their gig listing a visit and I'm sure they'd be happy to help
