When making this illustration, I wanted to focus on this energy and immersion that Osaka has. I wanted to make something that captures my love and excitement for Osaka and combines it with Comicon.

I've been playing around with Stable Diffusion AI art and really enjoying it I wont lie. Ive managed to find a workflow that speeds up my production time and quality. One that involves me working back and forth with the AI. Heres some of the best products I made this month. Suddenly big time consuming projects like animated series illustrated book creation becomes way more plausible.

Made this fun little cover art for my comic book, Inheritance (or Ilifa). Was inspired by some AI art that I made. I then took this ai art and made my own work, using a similar pose and lighting

Here are some snippets of the exhibition itself, in Kyoto! Thanks so much to the organisers that made this possible and to you for your continued support. These paintings are for sale on this link, from original painting to copies and prints on canvas or glossy paper. https://www.artpal.com/artymusoke

Some behind the scenes of my current personal Game Development. It's a story about a young woman, whos blessed with supernatural abilities. Cliche, I know right, but here's the kicker...it's going to focus on African folklore and spirituality for the stories. And come as an Augmented Reality Digital Comic, soon soon.

I did a collab with my friend @Kell_Odin on instagram, she provided the character and ink, I did the colours using her colour pallete and gave them some lighting. What dyu think?

Finally got my hands dabbling in some speedpainting videos for you all to see the process. Music for Ratchet and Clank 2 - Maktar Nebula Boss fight. Interested in learning how to draw like this, make sure you got some pencil and paper and we can get started with lessons - DM me! I'll teach you everything I know

One of the reasons this evening went so well is thanks to YOUR support. But it isn't too late, you can still be a part of this beautiful experience. Depending on how much a donation, you will get signed art of even a unique art peice for you Checkout the link in my bio for more details

My Story

My name's Athi - you more likely know me by my online pseudonym, Arty. My fine art is aimed at exploring the human condition. I love drawing beautiful and cool stuff and want to see how well I can communicate abstract emotions and experiences through my art, to see if I can push the margin, overcome my previous limit and create something even more immersive. I'm always keen to get feedback, so don't be shy to holla at your boy. All my work is for sale; as originals, prints or private commissions.
