"Yo momma"

(CalamityApproaches art is mine)

Hello, my name is Blue. This is my Artist profile wherein you can see some of my art and some relatively in depth stories as to how I've come to find my passion with the talent I've been given.

History & Gallery
A history of my art and a compilation of pieces and influencing figures. This portion only highlights significant imporvements through out my life and it also includes a part where I tall about how JoJo influenced my skills in art.

Favorite Artists
Here I talk about Artists I love and look up to. Most of them consist of members from the Super Ani art team mainly based in South Korea, but some of em are also well-known manga artists.

Technical Artists
A handful of great artists that I love put emphasis on anatomy and perspective. Most of them consider correct positioning and also draw mind-blowing fish bowl art that I myself is trying to master.

"Stop asking me what kind of brush I use."

- Kim Jung Gi everytime someone asks him about the type of brush he uses.

The artist that I look up to the most. Kim Jung Gi is a South Korean artist, famous for his amazing art which mostly consists of landscape, fish-eye view pieces and odd visuals depicting gore and nudity. He's also well known for taking up huge projects that lasts for several days and keep going without breaks, with his most infamous work being the 2019 Our Game League of Legends Mural, in which he was said to only have few consecutive bathroom breaks before the area closes and he continues to draw the mural the following morning.

Kim Jung Gi is also famous for drawing beautiful art pieces without sketching once. In fact, he never skethes, once he draws, he just goes on from there. His complete control over an art piece is remarkable and inspiring to young artists such as me, so trying to study his unorthodoxly ways is both fascinating and awesome.

""Your office is a pig sty!""

- Karl about his wife commenting on his studio condition

Karl Kopinski is also a personal favorite of mine. He's a professional artist from England who became famous for his iterations of historical events through monumental-esque paintings. He's also known for modern art and sketches, as seen in his Proko interview and sketchbooks. Karl is also a member of the Asian art group Superani, which Kim Jung Gi is a part of, alongside long time member and professional painter Hyun Jin Kim.

Karl Kopinski has sold artbooks and paintings, with a distinct artstyle separating him from other members of the group that had artstyles that closely resembled a more modern, "cartoony" and comic book-esque style.

Visual Artists
Favorite artists who are known for their use of vibrant colors and imagery. Most of them might use painting tools to work on a canvas, but it can be digital as well.

"Hmmm... Hmmm, hmm... Sorry, it's Naoki Urasawa's autograph."

- HyunJin laughing during Jung Gi's sketchbook tour interview in L.A. after the camera happens to pass by a sexual drawing next to Naoki Urasawa's autographed sketch.

Prolly the sweetest dude in the Superani art group. HyunJin Kim is the founder of Superani and the one who put the entire group together through handpicked recruitment. He's best friends with Kim Jung Gi and accompanies him during livestreams and fan meetups. He's one of my favorite artists to date, his fluidity on the canvas amazes me and every single idea that he incorporates into his paintings fascinates me even more. Hyunjin Kim can be seen in most of Kim Jung Gi's stories and interviews, mostly giving more insight about Jung Gi's history and art and also Superani itself.

"I'd say living with a positive outlook is the theme of JoJo. It's a celebration of humanity."

- Hirohiko Araki

How could I forget my (self proclaimed) mentor. Hirohiko Araki sensei is one of the most influencial artists of all time, and most of my art's aesthetic design are inspired by him. His fascination with different cultures and liking of diverse set of music is what made me admire him even more. As everyone else knows, he is famous for his work on the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga and unique art style that differs itself from mainstream manga art.

Hirohiko Araki's evolution as an artist is one of the most inspiring sight to behold, the progression and eventual change of anatomy and fashion is most visible throughout JJBA's run. He's the awesomest mangaka there is, and I'm thankful for Araki creating the series that I've come to love ever since I first discovered it.

The very first thing that caught my eye when it came to Yusuke's art are his moving panels and blurred figures that depicts body parts, characters and objects moving at a fast or rapid rate. Yusuke, of course, is known for adapting the Japanese webcomic One Punch Man into a Shonen manga. Yusuke is best known for full page drawings that moves in each turn, and captivating art that are featured in volume covers and promotional materials.

His use of movement in his manga are what inspired me to practice this technique more when creating live art that features fighting scenes and such. Overall, Yusuke Murata is a great artist and an inspiring figure to me.
