heyyy jazza
Question the way you show these character classes the characters seem exaggerated and cartoony.
if the goal is more to do a "realistic" character portrayal ala what you see in artist such as Jim Lee, Mœbius or Juan Giménez (he illustrated the metabarons) would such a class still be good if so why?.
You have just got to do a part 2 and 3 and 4. Navigator. Ixian, Alia of the Knife. So many you could do mate... Fish Speakers. So many..
Hallo Jazza , Ich denke du hast Gute Alternative gefunden , dass du wieder mit Alte Sache Gemalt hast . Weil ( Digital ) hat keine Gefühlen . und wir sind noch Mensch , mit Menschen Gefühl ........ Danke dir dass des du dein Menschen Gefühl gesucht hast .💚🌹💚
Ok thanks 👍
Detroit Become Human.
Arrakis Become Worm.
Leto Become Worm
"Would you still worship me if I were a worm?"
@@megashark1013 The more important question is do I get 2 god emperors if I cut you in half?
Actually by the time Leto is the God Emperor its not longer called Arrakis, but rather Rakkis, since it is no longer a desert planet.
@@NextgenTraveler91 Isn't "Rakkis" from even further into the future?
Its actually really fitting the Dune theme that you drew the characters by hand and not digitally, since in the Dune universe the creation and use of thinking machines (computers) is forbidden
They still use computers, just not the thinking ones, i.e. AI
They're living ones and are called Mentats. Essentially super-intelligent people.
He did the first one on a tablet?
Edit: o-oh dear God he made an abomination nvm
"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind" -OC bible
You got it completely wrong, it's AI not computers that are forbidden
Calling the old Dune Movies "A moment in time" is the most diplomatic yet accurate way I´ve heard someone describe them. I love it. I love your drawings, too. You drew Feyd-Rautha exactly how I envisioned him when I read the book!
And not a very good time, according to David Lynch himself. Even he wasn't satisfied with the final film.
But, it's still a visually interesting one, for that time.
He even got the colour right (Harkonnen blue) unlike almost every adaptation out there...
But young Sting in his winged codpiece really should not missed!
I loved the drawings too, especially Feyd-Ruatha. That face, and the way you drew something I'd normally imagine in a positive light--dark ringlets--as completely repellent.
Still miles better than the new bland & woke cr.p
And also, if you don't understand old films/books/arts, it's better to not judge them at all .. rather than coming off as a bit of an idiot 😉 There were bad - and brilliant films 100 years ago, just as they exist today.
I'm glad you showed a piece you weren't that happy with to remind us all that sometimes you just don't vibe with your art. I'd much rather see someone who can acknowledge they aren't happy with their art than someone who's overly confident in their abilities.
I like those who are happy but critical, it's my art I will hate and love as only I can in the middle ground.
Emperor Leto 2nd is the stuff of nightmares. Awesome video!
His he the son from the movie?
Pretty sure he is.
@@Vineethajojo no, in the movie Lady Jessica is pregnant with Alia, Paul's sister.
*spoiler*
Leto II will be born in the next movie, his mother is Chani.
@@Orfeh9999could be talking about the old dune messiah from the early 2000s (I think?)
I dunno; The digital art Michael Jackson Thriller Feyed was pretty nightmarish.
I would offer a suggestion regarding Chani's hair being described as Red. Black hair sun bleaches to a distinctive red that's almost cherry/mahogany. I've always pictured Chani's hair that color after attending a talk by Frank Herbert regarding his mental image of the main characters of Dune in 1981, just four years before he passed.
DUDE!!! Humans don't live this long. How are you still with us??
@@hulking_presence he only has to be 63 to have been 20 in 1981 lol, its not that uncommon
@@hulking_presence Was that some lame joke? It sure is, people don't get so stupid
@@Verezen but thats an assumption why can't yall look it up
@@DreamiMusho look what up? and it's not an assumption, I'm basically saying it's very much possible for him to have been alive in 1981. that was only 40 years ago.
It's interesting that the Harkonnens have had one distinctive hair style between them in both the film adaptations and neither one is from the books.
I haven’t read the books (yet) and I obviously haven’t exactly been casually conversing with the director, so I’m just speculating here, but I wonder if the choice of hairstyle (or drastic lack thereof) for the Harkonenns in the films was chosen to create a more emphasised division between them and the Attreides, especially Paul, because he (or at least Timothee Chalamet) has dark curly hair and quite a round face shape. Obviously there’s also the connection with toxicity of both environment and ethos, but visually - especially during the duel at the end of Part II - there is a very stark juxtaposition of aesthetics: everything about the Harkonenns is white with black accents, everything about Paul and Arrakis is earth toned with blue accents. I guess I’m just a sucker for the use of colour palettes in conveying ideas and symbolism 😋
@@scribblefoxstoriesah yes, but a visible likeness would have also been foreshadowing, which would have been good but maybe too obvious?
@@scribblefoxstories But what if someone was for instance half Atreides, half Harkonnen? Wouldn't it be physically obvious? In the books it wouldn't, but in the adaptations...?
@scribblefoxstories yes, specially for people who have not read the books, it would make it easier to identify all the factions.
Feyd is the only one with a real description of his hair. Neyfud is described as having blonde hair. Thr Baron and Rabban dont have their hair mentioned at all
Your 2nd sketch of Chani resembles Zendaya. It wasn't intended, yet there it is in my eyes!
I agree!
Agreed. I thought the same thing.
I noticed that too
you need glasses
Totally
As a long time Dune fan (I've re-read the six Frank books a few times per decade for going on forty years now - you know how books and stories change with your perspective as you age, yeah?): those Leto II portrayals are MAGICAL. Seeing something that had only previously existed, for me, in my own mind's eye brought to life like that is... that's a lovely gift you've given us, bud. Big thank you.
❤
Nothing like a Jazza video about "drawing characters EXACTLY as described in the books" !!
Except that he didn't do it this time when it comes to Leto. His entire head was covered in sandworms, except a removable flap that he could use to cover his face. And as the God Emperor, there's no mention of sandworm teeth in his description. In this part, Jazza keeps referring to that area as the "cowl" which was that movable flap I just described. Great art, but not "exactly" as described.
@@throatwobblermangrove8510 Let's just call it "artistic liberties". I just f*cking love character design.
@@Kaito57 You can call it "artistic liberties" just as the same thing applies to the movie representations he says he's correcting. It's not as described in the book, so to say that it is is wrong.
@@Kaito57same, absolutely adore jazzas take on characters.
Not "exactly as described in the books" but "exactly how I imagined the books describing them", because everybody imagines the characters differently.
You should do these for warhammer 40k characters! A lot of them are described differently in the books then how they’re portrayed in official art or their official models.
But the miniatures are the original one. GW is a miniature company, they design the mini first and then make the stories around them. If anything, are the books that get the mini wrong.
@@Astronometric Well, I mean characters that appear in the novels first before getting their minis, like the most recent characters for HH like Hibou Khan, Aximand, etc.
@@Astronometrica lot of characters are also depicted with their helmets on when it comes to the mini's
Yes! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
All hail the God-Emperor!
Doing the Horus Heresy before and after would be awesome.
@@Astronometric If this logic was correct, we'd have an Emperor of Mankind model. GW is the miniature company, *Black Library* is the Lore branch of Games Workshop, Black Library is who does the writing.
I'd like to see your interpretation of the Baron and Rabban as well. Not to mention the Guild navigators.
Guild Navigators are the ones I would really love to see!!!
I saw a picture on an art site where the artist was complaining that so many films go for dark grey/ black for all of the uniforms and the like in the various Dune adaptations, and they wanted to show them in more flamboyant colours that would fit better with the "noble houses" themes. Amusingly (doubly so since they didn't seem to do it this way), in a twist on the normal schemes, the Harkonens wear blue (specifically, Sardaukar in Harkonen livery are described as being in blue), while the Atreides wear green and black (or so their banner is described). So book-accurate uniforms/ livery/ etc might be an interesting video to follow with.
Eh, books don't matter much. All they truly care about is the overarching narrative, which is person of "the tribe" using an army of brown people to take out the evil wyt skinhds. Rinse and repeat! Its hard to find a sci-fi movie that deviates much from this subtext.
Ironically the David Lynch got the colors right - the Harkonnens are wearing blue, the Atreides wear green.
And then SyFy mucked around by making the Harkonnens in red.
Don't forget the dune miniseries, which got as far as Children of Dune and ended with Leto II initial merging with the sandtrout ( portrayed by James McAvoy) which started with his hand/forearm and was doing a slow progression from there
One thing I remember from that scene from the book was him having to keep rolling the sandtrout back from his face, because they kept trying to cover his entire body.
@@whitetallon8784 and Leto sucking the juice outta the trout lmfao
Oh yea I forgot that!
Glad you found your USB cable. Very glad you followed your gut to switch to paper. Obnoxiously audacious of you. Love it! 🏆
I love when you draw traditionally rather than digital drawing.❤
That Leto II is absolute perfection!!
He got it close. the Cowl should be tight around his face and no teeth. Excellent drawing though
Your final art of Leto the 2nd is absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed watching this
I think Jazza should try crotchet amigurumi, because he already tried the knitting. And I need to see someone else trying to make sense of amigurumi who hasn't tried it before.
Brilliant idea
Especially the creature design of the emperor was really executed really well! I also really like the sketches of his evolution
His face is described as cowled within the sand trout armor, but the Worm Body mouth is indicated to be separate, at least by inference. His, essentially, major domo always wears a white uniform. His guards were all Fish Speakers, who are exclusively female, unless you include the ghola. I read God Emperor of Dune this week, so it's pretty fresh in the mind.
As an artist myself, actually getting to see the moments where things don't work out how you planned is actually incredibly inspiring. Nothing like being reminded that your heroes also struggle with landing a concept sometimes, and the difference the change in medium made was brilliant
It’s true😁
I'd love to see this done for The Wheel of Time! Especially with S2 introducing so many new characters, I feel like there are a lot of interesting comparisons to be made there (like Turak and Ingtar, who look completely different to their book counterparts), and they have such a wide cast to choose from.
I would absolutely LOVE a part 2 of this! I’d love to see your take on Alia or Princess Irulan. There’s so many dope characters in Dune to draw
Feyd-Rautha looks like rumplestiltskin in the books- like shrek rumblestiltskin and chucky have a baby= feyd ruatha. A hint of Micheal Jackson? XD
A hint of Smeagol. The Bene Gesserit are very thorough in their gene harvesting.
I definitely saw the Michael Jackson the most lol
The very first Jazza video I ever watched was about drawing Harry Potter characters as they were described in the books, so this video was very nostalgic for me. I absolutely love your art style and your videos! Keep up the good work!!
I will have to go see!
Man a fan of a year? Glad you’ve bumped into his videos, I’ve been a fan of him for coming up on ten years now. I highly recommend you check
Put a lot of his old stuff.
@@Logan_Irrelevant Umm I've been watching him for a while? About a year now.
@@MildSalami yeah my bad, realized the dating issue but couldn’t find the original comment to edit it. Thanks for the reply, a year is still a short bit though yk?
@@Logan_Irrelevant Yeah, I guess it is in the grand scheme of things.
The beginning of this video made me cry seeing that someone as legendary as you still struggles sometimes and questions their creations. Thank you for being so real, Jazza. I only found you a few months ago, and as I've binged your videos, your channel has made me laugh, cry, and inspired me to draw again for the first time in years. Thank you, and your whole team for the amazing work you do. 💖
I absolutely love these simpler videos were Jazza works on interpreting characters! Love them! His incredible talent truly shines in these!
This was awesome! You did a great job on Chani especially, she looked almost exactly like I imagined her. I would have loved to get some of the even later books too, maybe see how you would draw the spider queen.
The only complaint I have is that you didn't make Feyd's black blade!
You nailed everything else! Good job!!
I really love your interpretations of these characters. They match much more closely with what I imagined when I read the books. Both movie adaptations had their good points and Dune isn't a book that lends itself easily to a motion picture medium. But I think both the 80s movie and the current movies have made that transition pretty well. I really enjoyed this video - especially your budget still-suit in the beginning. It was surprisingly effective! 😂
Man i love your videos ! And to see the frustration at the beginning it's so human and fitting in the artsy world. We totally get how you felt x
Wow, what a fantastic video! I loved your Leto the second, terrifying! Thank you so much for your honesty with your struggles in the first picture, it gives us non professional, hobbiest artists a more realistic view of creation. Thank you
I love how Jazza is such an incredible artist and he's not afraid to show us that not everything he draws is perfection. Even pros have ups and downs. As an artists that is great to see and not put so much pressure on myself.
You started the video so quickly! I appreciate the short intro straight into the dope art. :) great idea and even better execution!
I love these vids so much. I really enjoy watching Jazza sketch out and refine his characters. Exceptional talent, and apparently a genuinely great guy. Keep these vids coming :)
Glad to see Jazza felling himself again! This was such a pleasure to watch!! 😊
I love the concepts from Dune, and this was definitely one of the more satisfying Leto II! Good job, Jazza!
This absolutely made my morning, thanks for sharing your art! I loved the approach and concept of comparing the actual descriptions, especially with Leto the 2nd! Some of the drawings of him out there are just so bizarre 😂
I love to see your drafts, what didn't work out as well as what worked in the end. More of this please!
Those drawings of Leto were epic!
This is the first time I’ve seen a video of yours, very impressed and hooked! I have yet to see a better Leto the Second, exactly how I imagined in the books! Super cool!
Of all of the book-to-image interpretations you've done, this is your best.
Wow! That was incredible! The way you interrpreted that was very impressive, very creative!
I LOVE your traditional art so much!!!
My biggest problem with a character design in these new movies is that they didn’t make baron vladmir harkonnen nearly fat and disgusting enough
He looks just like a Average American with a SciFi float belt instead of a Scooter.
Honestly, the 2000s series did it better. The actor was an actual very fat man and they made him extremely evil and disgusting.
They got him pretty spot on in the new adaptation.
He is described as weighing 200 Kilos (441 Ibs) which is how he looks in the films.
Other than the weight though he. Isn't supposed to look “disgusting” that was something Lynch added.
@@rayfeighery3245 To be fair, 200kg was extremely fat during Frank Herbert’s time.
Sure, it’s still fat today, but probably more terrible for old Franky boi than it is for us.
@@freddykrueger8076Nothing to do with dune but Homer Simpson is said to be 236lb in the early seasons yet he's talked about as if he's morbidly obese.
@@devilmikey00 isn't that considered morbidly obese? I was certainly made to feel that way back when I weighed around that, BMI says so I'm pretty certain
Your interpretations of Leto are INSANELY GOOD!! I love that yiu gave us the progression of his transformation. Brilliant and grotesque!
The Sci-Fi channel actually did an adaptation back in the 2000's that I found enjoyable. Big fan of the Dune books and universe.
I love your interpretation of Leto II
Dude, I love your draws ! I'm reading Dune and the draws are arrived in the perfect time, thanks !!
Hello from France ;)
You never cease to amaze me, Jazzy. You're so talented and you come up with such good content as well. Cheers to another great video!
your art of Leto II is the best I've seen
love it. your leto 2nd was great!
Ahhh Man! Gotta say I appreciate what you’ve created - it’s sooo close to what I would have created as well given the Herbert Description!
Your Leto II renditions are stunning, I'm in awe
Fantastic video! I love the finished representations - maybe Jazza could create a whole Dune diorama? The representations of the ships and locations in the moves are also “interestingly” interpreted in the movies.
I’m surprised that Fayd didn’t have brighter red hair, but then again, that might be Sting flashbacks…..
The 1st attempt yielded evil Michael Jackson. 😂
My first thought as well
You’re such an amazing artist Jazza!! These drawings are insane 🤘🏽
i got so excited when you first alluded to drawing Leto II! I absolutely love the drawings
awesome stuff jazza!
You accidentally created Michael Jackson 😂
💯
Hee, hee. Watch out for the second moon walk.
@@onetruetroy 🤣🤣🤣
BAM! I am not alone.
I was about to comment that
OMG! It's been more than a decade since I saw Jazza. I am filled with love for this dude, I was depressed and was living because I was diverting my attention to drawing and gaming, Jazza was one of the constants and his energy gave me enough positivity to keep moving.
My god it's been so long, since I heard that intro and that voice.
Thank you for existing and thank god for making you.
great Job Jazza x love the work and satisfying to see the drawing drafts to final product
I love this. May I request Baron Harkonnen and Paul for the next video??
i love this series, the differences between book and movie seem to mostly make sense as someone who's read/seen neither 😅 maybe i should and then come back to this and see if my opinion changed
I love that this is your way of bypassing the algorithm so you can do character design
Jazza, being able to show us the viewers that content creators are not all perfect in the things they do is the main reason why I subscribe to your channel. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air and for show the reality in life life and art.
Very cool. It was interesting reading all 6 books. I think Frank Herbert would be happy seeing those character drawings.
That start or the vidoe 😂
COMEEE GETTT YOURRRR DINNNERRRRR
Leto II is one of my favorite characters. I love how you included him and tou did an amazing job.
I actually love your digital art you did, I have been doing realism digital art but struggle with shading and your mistake actually made me how i need to shade! I for some reason never considered the shadow the nose gives and how to use diffrent brushes for shading!
Your versions of Leto II are awesome! I really like them and your style! 😁
These illustrations are amazing. You are such a role model for me
Amazing drawing skills, I'm impressed!
man this guy knows what people want
I had read the books, years ago, and both your early Leto concept and the final god-emperor form were closest to what I had envisioned then.
With Feyd-Rautha I think you got very close. I find the figure in the painting titled "Bacchus", by Caravaggio, closely resembles the book's own description. But, with a more sinister look.
Chani, I had forgotten entirely that she was supposed to have more elongated, elven features, with long red hair. Neither actresses that played her in the films resembled her description. But, that's due to the individual visions and choices of the directors.
Wow, i admire so much people who have this talent
Your Leto II is the most accurate representation I've seen of him! From now on, I will imagine him as you have drawn.
Who else can’t wait until Dune 3 comes out???
YES! FINALLY SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGES DUNE SEQUELS!
I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH AAAAAA
Oh man! Not discounting the time and practice you undoubtedly put in but what a god given talent to draw like that. Bravo ✍🏻
The first character in digital version looks like Michael Jackson
Was my first idea, too. I wondered, when he begins to sing "Thriller".
Is there a possibility of you doing a Jurassic park one if it's ok?
Thoroughly seconded! I remember reading the books for the first time and being surprised at just how different some characters especially were described.
This was phenomenal!!! I *LOVE* your interpretation of all of them, but Leto II as a kid the best!!
Amazing art! Being hand drawn make it even more fantastic.
Dennis Vellynews :D
2nd! HI I'M A BIG FAN !! ❤
I loved this video soooo much! It's so difficult to imagine these characters when we are reading
Just finished the last book. Well done on the visuals. Very cool.
I had never heard of Dune. Now I'm too scared and a bit grossed out to look for it... 😅
But I was mesmerized by watching and listening about the scary worm--man that you made. You Australians really don't mind not being on top of the foodchain, do ye? 😂
I mean... Australians are practically Catachans from 40k, LOL.
I've never read the books since they sounded freakish to me too. But I watched both of the new Dune movies and honestly, they are some of the best movies I've seen so far. I highly recommend watching them.
You forgot to show pictures from the sci-fi Dune miniseries tsk tsk.
Yes i know the CGI in it looks like something out of an early playstation era, but for what it was it was good and certainly more loyal to the book than the movies.
Also please do a part two with Baron Vladimir Harkonnen who in the book does NOT float around like a balloon ( i honestly think ever since Jodorowsky wanted to do that it has stuck in all future media adaptations of the book).
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in book is monstrously fat yes, but he doesn´t float.
He wears anti-gravity belt so that his feet and legs only have to carry around 50 kilos of his total weight.
He also like to molest young boys, and does so unapologetic, he even comments at one point that its a pity that Paul (who is 14-15 at this point) has to die since he got such a pretty mouth.
Also do a picture of Alia both as a child and as an adult influenced by the memory/ghost of Vladimir Harkonnen.
Cant Vladimir Float if he needs to? I havent read the books, but a Friend talked about it when we were watching the 2000s series (And the Lynch Film.... dont talk about it)
He has used that to avoid the poison Cloud when leto died and his body floaten a little around after he died, wasnt that what happened?
Oh, also Interesting that the series was actually faithful to the Character in the Child thing, I thaught that was just to Show "that man is evil"
@@mordisgaminggedons5119 Yes, he can levitate up to a certain degree. If we assume that suspenders can be regulated then he would be able to no problem.
@@mordisgaminggedons5119 No not that i recall.
In the book Leto mistakes Piter de Vries for the Baron and lets out the poison in his tooth.
Its enough to kill Piter (as he is really close to Leto), but the baron legs it out of the room and escapes.
The only time the baron "floats" is after Alia kills him with her gom jabbar.
The baron floats a few millimeters of the ground.
@@Erikjust ah OK, i see.
It does suit him tho, being that menacing floating fat guy. Not the worst Choice the movies did
@@mordisgaminggedons5119 Yes and no...
The movies often like to portray him as over the top evil or sinister.
That´s not the baron of the book.
If you watched the Game of thrones tv-series he is more of a Tywin Lanister character then anything else.
Here´s a quote from the book:
"Sometimes I wonder about Piter," the Baron said. "I cause pain out of necessity, but he... I swear he takes a positive delight in it. For myself, I can feel pity toward the poor Duke Leto. Dr. Yueh will move against him soon, and that'll be the end of all the Atreides. But surely Leto will know whose hand directed the pliant doctor... and knowing that will be a terrible thing."
"Then why haven't you directed the doctor to slip a kindjal between his ribs quietly and efficiently?" Piter asked. "You talk of pity, but --"
"The Duke must know when I encompass his doom," the Baron said. "And the other Great Houses must learn of it. The knowledge will give them pause. I'll gain a bit more room to maneuver. The necessity is obvious, but I don't have to like it."
So the Baron in the book isn´t some evil over the top character.
He´s a political schemer, who does what is needed to advance his house´s power.
Though he still likes to molest young boys.
Feyd-Rautha does try and kill the baron by planting a poisonous needle in the thigh of a boy, which looks like how the baron likes them.
The baron beats that boy to death and admonish Feyd for this saying he just needs to be a bit more patient and he will get everything.
Ahhh I love this! I could see your final Leto II on GED. Although for some reason I imagined him having a kinder face? More like a ‘resigned to his fate’ face.
I’m completely stunned by your Leto sketches!
That is MUCH more than 7 metres long!
Right? Like way, way more. Honestly looks closer to 70 metres than 7.
yo early gang 👇
kinda...
Yooooo
Thanks for showing the work that you scrap! We all make stuff that just isn't great and it's all part of the process, but so many people don't show that part and only what turned out well. So people have the misconception that if they can't be perfect from the first try, they're just no good.
❤ These are my favorite type videos you do. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you. ❤
It’s funny that you painted most of the characters white when frank never describes races or skin color outside of chani and a side character. Humans are so far advanced race isn’t a thing in dune. A lot of people don’t know that
So you're saying our boy Paul atreides is a nigga and house harkonen could just be a bunch of yellow asians?
Cry about it, blackboi
