(Artwork by me)

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, Techniques & Gallery==
A history of my art and a compilation of pieces and influencing figures. This portion only highlights significant improvements throughout my life and it also includes a part where I talk about how [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|JoJo]] influenced my skills in art.
===Brief History===
I started drawing when I was in kindergarten. My classmates noticed my interest towards art at a very young age, but, as expected from small and carefree children, they didn't care about it at all. Most of my time during my childhood were spent indoors drawing anything I could think of on the top of my head. My drawings as a child weren't the best, but as time went by, it got better.

My dad would usually accompany me to art areas inside a mall to pick out sketchbooks and tools that I can use to keep myself entertained whenever I'm staying inside our house. I had asthma back then so art was the only thing I did to keep me company.

As I grew older, my interest in foreign media only grew stronger, thus gaining several inspirations and idols to look up to as I sought to improve my art. You can read about my favorite artists on the tab below!

==='''Techniques'''===
Several Art techniques gathered from modern observation and traditional repition of an art method from mangakas, artists and several other media.
===One Pigment Frame Piece===
This technique was mainly used to make certain art pieces look finished despite the background lacking any depth nor detail in terms of coloring. The centerpiece or the subject under focal point bears the most detail and radiates several different colors in contrast to both the foreground and background, making the entire art look finished.

Hirohiko Araki sensei does this with a lot of his art. Most of the time the characters in the middle ground would contain the most vibrant colors while the rest of the painting would bear a flat, one-pigmented color, yet at the same time making it work.

{{Tabber
|Description|
*The art piece uses a singular, flat color for the background or something that covers the entire piece.
*The subjects being portrayed in the art are the ones who are given multiple palettes.
*In 2018's Ripples of Adventures, Hirohiko Araki sensei mentions in an interview that he was inspired to use this technique after a French Painter {{W|Paul Gaugin}} used it for an art piece, entitled: Riders on the Beach.<ref name="JoJo Ripples of Adventure 2018 Tour Interview">[https://youtu.be/01D0q2gh4UA]</ref>

==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.

The artist that I look up to the most. Kim Jung Gi is a well known 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 just like me, so trying to study his unorthodoxly ways is both fascinating and awesome.

Jung Gi was also a member of the art group Superani and is one of the key members that has been significantly present during its building stage.

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 and group founder 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.

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.

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.

{{Quote|But ONE-sensei, you and Saitama take after each other. Both of you began from doing your hobby!|Murata praising ONE and his similarity to the Caped Baldy.}}

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.
