One of the best ways to learn, improve, and challenge ourselves creatively is to study great artists. Remember Picasso famously said, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal."
Ok, obviously literal stealing is not Picasso's point. Instead the insight of his quote is to get in the habit of admiring and analyzing esteemed artists. In this stream we're doing exactly that; focusing on one of my favorite 3D artists: beeple. We'll look at his background, sift through his body of work, and discuss his artistry/technique.
Beeple is famous for creating an image (usually 3D and always incredible) from start to finish every day for 10 years - and he's still going by the way. Read that sentence again. Besides his absurd ability to create quickly, he's above all a gifted artist. His #everydays work is a deep well of abstract visuals, realism, voice, composition, emotion, etc. Trust me: There is much to learn from studying beeple.
So, the "Industry" term is a way of getting young kids to throw their lives at a company and invest countless hours into a job

Same here, I recognize a lot of Blender artists, but that's about it. Maybe a few Zbrush sculptors
He contacted him, said if he could use his word and Beeple said "Yes"
I do admire Reyante Martinez, though.
Hey @theluthier did you chat with Beeple at all in preparation for this or will you just be giving your own impressions of his work?
Me too, but slowly I'm getting into the CGI world with its characters and famous figures
