Background Drawing Time Lapse - Making a Glass Atrium in Procreate Matt Laskowski (fox-orian) 2019-11-05 | View final artwork at http://www.plasticshards.studioThis illustration happened from some aimless drawing that ended up turning into a much more elaborate piece than I was thinking up front, started and finished entirely within Procreate. This piece took a few dozen hours to complete, and Procreate's video timelapse clocked in at just over 40 minutes long, which I edited and speed-ramped in places to make it a more tolerable 9 minutes here. Sorry if the image blinks a lot -- I turn layers on and off often to compare edits against background color.Toward the end of making this piece, my iPad Pro started having low memory issues. With the canvas at 6500 pixels wide, I was pushing the limit with close to 30 layers. Procreate began crashing occasionally. I turned off the video recording to conserve some memory and continued working until I thought I was near finished. Turning off video helped prevent crashes, thankfully. When I was satisfied with how the characters were looking, I decided to duplicate the file in a flattened state so I could finish the foreground elements, which restarted the video recording automatically. I thought a video recap of this artwork wouldn't have been possible since I had to disable video, but thankfully by duplicating the file it at least was able to capture the final steps to completion making it at least mostly complete process.Hope you find this helpful and/or fun to watch!Music is from Jeremy Blake. His work is fantastic, check him out! youtube.com/channel/UChnxLLvzviaR5NeKOevB8iQ

Acadia National Park / Cadillac Mountain Trip, Maine - July 2016 | Sony RX10 II Matt Laskowski (fox-orian) 2016-08-09 | I recently went on a trip with friends and co-workers to Acadia National park along the coast of Maine. We went with the purpose of taking photos and stayed up for 24 hours to witness sunrise and sunset on Cadillac mountain, day shooting at Jordan Pond, and astral photography at Thunder Hole.I took the task of filming the trip, shot entirely with my Sony RX10 II. Despite accidentally leaving my 64GB UHS-1 card at home and having to use a 16GB spare, I still managed to capture a good amount of footage to provide context for the photography taken by Travis, Joel, Yelena, and Nick during the trip. The footage is largely left ungraded because I wasn't shooting in S-LOG2, and time constraints in editing.Enjoy the video and the accompanying music, Amor Fati by Washed Out.[Music is copyright Sub-Pop records -- This video is not monetized]

Videos take way too much time out of my already limited amount of it. ENJOY THE VIDEO ANYWAY.Todays' video features a quick panel rough for a stupid little one-page comic I'm doing for laughs.

ORIANART - 001 - Monsoon Season Rough Sketch Matt Laskowski (fox-orian) 2012-09-01 | SEE THE FINISH HERE: http://fav.me/d5p3dmzQuick 45-ish minute rough sketch I did last night for a new Synthesis picture I'm working on. The straight lines were drawn quickly by holding shift and tapping my pen to form two points. Image dimensions for this stage are 1280x720. Everything is drawn with a 1px round brush without shape dynamics.Sorry if the video has a lot of jumpy artifacting -- the codecs I used for export from Premiere were all wrong!Video playing at 600% speed.Music: Dictaphone's Lament by TYCHO.EDITS:This stairwell is based off one I used to hang out on during breaks at work.

Environment Sketching - Fish Market - Cintiq 21UX - Part 1 Matt Laskowski (fox-orian) 2010-12-26 | Decided to start sketching something. Kinda felt in the mood to do a kind of public place, like a market or something.What you see here is about 1 hour 15 minutes worth of sketching sped up to be only 4 and a half minutes long.This is only part 1 of the progress of this picture. There will be others following this one as I complete it. I didn't want to do a 15 minute long single video, if only because I don't know how long this picture is really going to take, and long videos are harder to watch when it's sped up this fast as it is.Enjoy and keep watch for updates.Photoshop, Cintiq 21UX- music "Music is Math" by Boards of Canada

[Old] 1-Hour Sketch/Painting Matt Laskowski (fox-orian) 2009-03-08 | EDIT 2013: Maaan this is so old by now. Check it out, it only goes up to 360p -- youtube's max quality back in the day.I did this when I was still in college. There's so much I see wrong with this now, and so much I'd do differently today. Oh well, that's why practicing is a learning experience! Enjoy anyway, I hope?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A one-hour painting I did to test recording another system over the network using Remote Desktop.
