Gabe paints Prince of Persia
If you're reading this and you are an artist, please look away. Watching this video will only make you feel bad about your own ability and possibly cause you to cast your artistic implements aside in favor of more practical pursuits. Gabe of Penny Arcade fame has become a truly impressive artist in recent years, and this time elapsed video of the process of painting a page for their new Prince of Persia comic is a stunning testament to that ability.
If only there were a way to show a live feed of what is going on in his mind while we watch the outward effects of his expression. I'd love to know how exactly he plans these pictures in his head before it hits the (virtual) page. His various design decisions, how he comes up with the colors he feels he needs to use to achieve the effect he desires. He has managed to exert an unexplainable level of precision that all of us artists strive for. Mesmerizing.
