Time-Lapsed Post-Apocalyptic Art

My friend and I were surfing through the internet the other day just trying to find some cool videos until we stumbled across a time-lapse of a magazine cover illustration. The video shows a man, Dei Gaztelumendj, starting from scratch with a piece of paper and pencil and ends up creating a beautiful work of art! I have always thought time lapse videos were really cool but this particular video made me realize how much work artists put into their work to make it look flawlessly great. The video is around 11 minutes long but I am sure it took this guy hours upon hours of work to finish this project. The image is of a boy holding a sword, sitting on a pile of garbage in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The boy looks very upset, giving the image a serious tone. However, the tone is also humorous because there is a smiley face on the boy's helmet and he is holding an abnormally large sword. I love the details that Gaztelumendj put into this piece, especially with the details of the tiny screws on the boy's robotic leg. He also did a fantastic job on the eyes, which is the focal point of the picture. The eyes really add to the serious tone of the art while giving it a sense of humanity. While it's not the greatest work of art I have ever seen, I just thought it looked really cool and unique and the development process was really fun to watch and admire. This video gave me a new appreciation to the people who work in the animation field.
