Ditto. No question a print would be phenomenal. A metal print would be even more incredible, but I know that would likely require a much larger MoQ to allow for much margin to be made. I'd be super happy to buy any print of the 100 hour painting.
Early in my art career, I learned a valuable lesson from my then brother-in-law, who worked as an artist in an ad agency. I was doing art more for fun (at that time) and Gary was creating advertising... I asked him when he knew his ads were done. He turned and said, "art is never done... it's just "due."
i want it, man i wish i had the talent for this as she does, i can hardly handle a stickfigure, i would be lying if i said i wasn't jealous and angry i don't have her skills, just being able to put 100 hours into something over and over again, developing your skills further and further, some people just have this talent, ofc she prob worked hard af to get where she was, but still, SUPER JEALOUS, and again i want that picture!

@@Justaguywithglassesok I feel you man! Although I'm an artist myself, I'm not on her level. I wish I could hand-paint like that. I suppose we, as humans, are all skilled in different areas. But some people are just born for some things. At least I'm finding peace in knowing that I am good at something. Some people are just good at nothing lol!
It is print-worthy, for sure! I’d be curious how things would have turned out if you started with the 100 hour, then 10, and finally 1. I suspect you’d have learned a lot about the composition, color choices, and figured out some techniques that were improved upon with repetition that would have a better 10 hour now than the first go around.
This really illustrates how long it takes to create art. Artists should send this video to people who commission them and ask which tier they want their painting to be in so they can understand the value of what they're paying for.
The last painting is honestly so stunning. I thought the 10 hour one was beautiful and then you blew me away with the final one. Absolutely magnificent.
Just looking at time spent and a decent, but nowhere near expensive, salary: At 100 hours,and let's say $15 an hour, this right here is at least a $1500 painting.

"time pays off, who woulda thought it." This exactly. I am really impressed and really in love with this video because you managed to show the difference via timelapse in quality vs quantity as a manufacturer of custom designs but also showed those that don't realize the amount of time and effort that goes into an art piece in order to make it really something. Even the 1 hour and 10 hour paintings have their value. While also showing clearly not as much as the 100 hour one. For everyone out there willing to admit time is money at least half think the time spent on art isn't worth the money. You've managed to prove through visuals that it undoubtedly is and how much time and care is spent regardless of it it's an hour, 10 hours, or 100 hours. I find that to be fantastic and I hope I can use it the next time someone asks me or anyone else to "do it for exposure!" Or "it's not worth that much." ❤️🥰❤️
@TonysGran123 Hers sucks compared to Midjourney. Yes it lacks some details because I didn't type it, but the quality of what is there is way better. But if you have decided you like her work better because you're "fan" then whatever... AI will take over before 2022 is over, nobody will give a shit about 99% of real artists
@Apprentice Mage Needed yes, to write prompts, photobash AI created images together, and touch them up digitally. I would hardly call that "passionate work". Lot of newspaper have moved into using MJ illustrations, instead of human ones. The reader won't notice a thing. Have you even used MJ or worked in the commercial art field? I have. Also most of my friends work in commercial art, and majority of them are depressed about MJ. Even when they didn't lose their jobs yet. It's eating away our self-worth, when from respected craftmen we become just a secondary asssistants, who fix up AI work. This is just transition phase, human assistance is needed less and less as the self learning AI improves... you'll see. It will be voice controlled later, where you can do real-time changes to the details. Just like AD is guiding a graphic designer.. Companies don't give a crap who makes their pretty and relatively meaningless everyday art, you may think it's not "real art" anyway but it's currently hundreds of thousands of jobs, that will be gone. It's the main way someone in art can make a living... people have such idealistic and stupid ideas about "making a living as an artist" like everyone is some Da Vinci making meaningful and political art in their chamber...99% works for commercial art field, creating pretty but rather meaningless 2D illustrations and layouts... that's their job, if they want to make "artsy art" they mostly do it on their spare time... those jobs will be gone
Ah, another random RUclips recommendation of something amazing that leaves me wondering who are these elven superior beings that can create such magic that makes the rest of us feel utterly devoid of skill. Update: ha, I see now that she calls one of her merch items "Elven Sketchbook". I KNEW they were elves.
The difference in the 100 hour painting is not just the detail. To me, the most significant difference is in the depth of color. The tones and contrast are just so much deeper and complex. Amazing job Martina.
When I saw the one hour, I was impressed by what you could do so quickly. Then I saw the 10 hour and I was blown away by how much better it looked. Then you put down the first couple background trees in the 100 hour one and I could immediately tell this was going to be a whole other level of amazing. Now I’m going to go draw because if someone can spend that much time repainting the same scene I can go finish the drawing I started last night.
This is a prime example of, “You can’t rush art!” It takes time and patience to get your art to where you want it to be. That way you’ll love and be proud of your work. Especially, if your a perfectionist like me.
i just love how martina just starts the painting without tension , regret and enjoys the process and even if a problem comes she just continues the painting and hopes for the best and it actually works like she is soo good with everything like this is what i call a creative person
A dreamy, soft blue background with so much detail it looks like a filtered photo of an actual forest, a perfectly realistic elk grazing, the detail and shine of the character's armor and all the swords, the depth of red in the tree's foliage, the bark detail, this is an incredibly impressive piece! It was a delight to watch come to life, thank you! :D
@@ZenitsuKunn AI does better art already. The quality of detail is way higher, are you blind. With more detailed prompt, or combining few AI made images in photoshop, all the details would have been there and more. Painting 100 hours to get this result was waste of time. You can get better results with AI and maybe 1 hour of Photoshop. I used nothing but simple AI text string, and took first 4 results, which are already better looking than what she painted lol. But you fanboys are still heavily on copium I see..
@@siarsMM Are you blind, it's way better what she painted in 100 hours LMAO. Lacking some details like the swords yes, but I just quickly typed something
Oh yay I’m getting to watch this within minutes of posting instead hours later when I’m off work. Ridiculously excited! Edit: your 1 hour painting is 1000% better than I could do in a week.😂
This video really gave me an appreciation for the detail and time that can go into a beautiful painting. The first one is a good painting all on its own. I was like, how is she going to fill the time with the last one when the first is already so good? Seeing the time lapse of you painting the last one gave me a better understanding of the painting process. The different layers of the leaves, the details on the knight, the light filtering through the trees - watching you paint it all made me appreciate the painting all the more. I feel like I could search through a painting better after watching you paint the 100 hour one. The last one is truly magnificent, and I'm really happy I stumbled upon this video.
100 hours: Epic, majestic, magnificent, beautiful, extraordinary!. 10 hours: Aesthetic and very nice, bright and clean. 1 hour: Still better than I can do in 1000 hours xD
UPDATE: I HAVE PURCHASED THE ALMIGHTY SKETCHBOOK!!!! I am gonna cry I am so happy, I finally was able to purchase something from you guys and support you in some way T-T this is the most expensive sketchbook I have ever gotten but it is also the most incredibly beautiful and I am so beyond excited to receive it thank you sooo much
@@MrRichManGuy honestly seeing how she used it in the video convinced me the quality will be amazing, I am beyond excited to get it in the mail when they start shipping
Heck yes I would love a print of this! I really love your art style. Happy to see there are new sketchbooks, I found your channel fairly recently so was disappointed to have missed the other ones. Got mine ordered already, I’m so excited!!!! Have a great day
YES PLEASSSSSE MAKE A PRINT. I literally kept checking everyday for the mythology wolf print and I bought it as soon as it went up for sale! It hangs above my computer setup, and I just love it so much. Now this… it would look so nice next to the other print 😱🎨💕
One thing about this as well is that each successive attempt you get to determine the things you liked/disliked about the previous attempts. So you can plan to make changes in style/composition, foreground/background etc. I love this format every time I see someone do it. But I also think it'd be interesting to see someone just do the same image three times with say like 10 hours each time. And see if maybe the first time you went a little harder on the lighting and shadows, and then you take a step back and realize it's a little hyper realistic and you don't prefer it, and then on your second attempt you find a mix of colors you really like, but don't have enough time to really play with it, so on your third attempt you have all the planning and experience and trial and error of the previous two attempts to nail down what you love. That way each painting is more easily comparable than 1,10,100 hr where it's like yeah of course you're going to be searching for details to add in 100 hours, while struggling to finish in 1 hour.
moral of the story: Its never "too less" or "too much" time. just take the time you need an challenge yourself to put as many details as you can think of. all the paintings turned out awesome! I gotta work on getting better at backgrounds. I think i might try to use your backgrounds as inspiration and references. i cant stop watching your videos!
No question at all - let there be prints of this artwork! Absolutely incredible artwork, I enjoyed every second of this video. The one-hundred-hour painting blew me away.
This painting really reminds me of the godswood in Winterfell, Game of Thrones. Especially the scene from episode 1 where Ned cleans his sword after beheading the nights watch deserter. I would love to see more GoT inspired projects, especially with the spin off coming up (I found this channel because of your iron throne diy)
@@konstantinkrastev4478 Well, she wasn’t drawing from scratch in the 10 and 100 hour versions. And I think she said some planning went in before the project started…
I get it but I suppose a 1hr painting after 100 hours of experience with the same painting doesn't really count if you're comparing for the sake of choosing how much time to spend on a project. Also there's just so much you can do in one hour. But still it would be really interesting for sure!
That would definitely be a nice print to do. There is an amount of time where after that you don't really get any meaningful additions to a painting of that size but it greatly depends on the painter & the subject. For you painting that exact painting again it would be 200 hours. For Bob Ross it would be 4 hours.
@@Miss-Hellcat666 quite the opposite i would argue. The whole Point of Bob Ross' paintings was to be simple and approachable. If you go too Long you lose that effect and the Style and vibe will Change complete
The 100 hour piece is unreal. All the time texturing the background & filling it out, plus the subtler usage of color really paid off. It brought so much life to the piece. The lighting was so on point throughout it also.
This just made me cry. Literally. There's such a rush in almost everything these days thanks to the overall system, values of society, the marketability of a product, the pressure of making a living etc. etc. So I love that this comparison is not done with the aim to add marketability as a factor. It (unfortunately) is a huge factor normally, but... who doesn't want to make art for the art itself at least once! The 100 hours result is awesome!
The whole concept of this painting is amazing in this 100 hours. I can already see the story of this world, which is like a fantasy epic full of tragedy, loss, hope and mystery. As if this is some mystical place full of spirits of fallen warriors whose swords are stuck around a tree and this knight has come for guidance or to pray because this is perhaps some holy place for knights without a purpose or a path to follow. That's why I think many possibilities and stories can be told only from this painting, but it all depends on the amount of inspiration and imagination for such an idea, although a few come to mind already, but it needs a lot of thinking because I am sure that a very good story can be created from this painting if someone wants to write it or draw it because any way of telling the story would be a challenge.
Omg as you were paining the 100h painting I was like "This looks absolutely stunning. I wonder if they can do a print or a Displate version of this" and at the end you actually offered it!!!! I'm so happy! Yes! Please do a run on this! I will order it and put it on my wall among all my other nerdy stuff!
I’d love a print! You could do postcards, actual prints, a digital download, and so many wonderful things. Even putting that design on a shirt or tote bag 😍 love how they all turned out
To me this painting has more of the 'memorial to a fallen comrade' vibe to it rather than that of 'warriors giving up their sword'. Regardless of personal interpretation of the painting, that is a stunningly beautiful piece. Just gorgeous
The Tree of Fallen Warriors - After being cut down in battle, you bring your comrade's sword to the Tree. The battlefield blood on the swords left in tribute color the leaves red.
It's the first video i saw on this channel. I really haven't ever been interested about painting and just tought "yolo, lets check the difference." Then watched trough the whole video and at some point i realized i just dropped a tear, when thinking how beautiful that painting is. Just incredible job 🤯
Love this. I just released a video to the DIY community yesterday, making something out of one 2 x 4 in 30 minutes, two hours and a one day build. I link your previous time video because it was my biggest inspiration to launch this challenge. As always you guys rock thank you so much
the fact that you can sit down and paint for hours and hours is very impressive... I could never do that lol I'd prob leave after 30 mins or something and wait til I have motivation to continue xD
Nah lmao, the one hour stuff has more in common with Impressionist artists, as they painted quickly and on the spot to capture fleeting scenery and urban life.
You know, when I painted paintings, I would lose all of my patience it’s like a flick of a light switch after just painting for 10 minutes, and this video showed me so so much! Thank you so much for teaching me something without even mentioning it or even talking about it, you are so amazing!
I have to watch this later but wanted to pop by and say THANK YOU for inspiring me to start building dioramas, I just finished a dice tower for roleplay games and have already started another one... it's just so much fun to bring tiny worlds to life. Thank you for being such a WONDERFUL inspiration and creative force, wishing you both blessings on your paths wherever they may lead
Why would anyone not want a print of this gorgeous masterpiece? Abso-freaking-lutely YES to making a print out of this. Would be the perfect fit for a Displate piece, actually.
Hi, I didn't know you before and I wasnt really into painting at any point of my life. But this video is nuts! Not only what you achive by producing your paintings. Also your sense of humour chatches me completely. Well done, I really enjoyed it.
I love your painting, I love the textures, the shades, the colours, the fades, everything. Well I think I might get back into painting again now that you have inspired me more, Thank you so much #Nerdforge
I'm really impressed when someone can spend so much time on a drawing. I exclusively draw with ink freehand on A4 paper so everything is done fast which I love because I have absolutely zero patience and it really impresses me when people spend so much time on one painting and render every detail and make it clean and everything whereas I'm just messy and spend 1 hour max on a page.
I think all of them have their own merit in different ways! The first one reminds me of scenery paintings by Impressionists, the 10 hour one is more in line with standard illustrations and the 100 hours one makes me think I’m staring at a photo taken with a large format camera.
This feels like a ending in a game, after a long and dangerous journey, countless deaths and victories, putting your sword down and knowing you can finally rest in piece
Every one of them looked amazing for me. You really pulled everything out of the time you had. You see on every picture how it has like 10 times more details.
this is actually so amazing. i’m getting goosebumps just looking at the 100 hour painting! it’s crazy how much detail you put into it and how much motivation you had to actually finish it! so in awe!! 💕💕
Was recommended this and just wanted to say it's so good! Without even mentioning how great each piece turned out (especially the 100 hours!!) the editing style and your personality are just so fun to watch. The concept is also really fun, I used to do sketch challenges of 1 minute, 10 minutes and 1 hour and this is that times 100. Really inspiring to actually finish SOMETHINg, even if it's at the middle level, with the ocasional high level piece (as you mentioned, you rarely spend much more time than 10 hours).
I loved your 100 hour painting with the cold blueish background and the warm tree with strong and beautiful roots letting through the lightrays onto the ground revealing the secrets laying in the dark so much that I just want to stare at it on my wall. I would love to have it. And I'm not even that fond of pictures or paintings on walls etc. I just want this painting in my room. My mind is now at peace because of the beauty and stressed because I can't have it (yet?).
I used to think I could never spend a long time on art I make, because I run out of patience really quickly, but well... A few days ago, i finally finished something I spent over a month on. Turns out, if I take things one part at a time, it's easier to not run out of patience. No idea, if it's like that in general, or just for me, but maybe it'll help someone, so yeah... maybe try to look at things not as a whole, but as pieces.
I watch a good friend I have known for decades do her art. I am always amazed. Your work is always phenomenal. Thank You for this video showing the love and dedication that is in your work. I love your adventures and the joy you give. I apologize for not seeing this until today. Hugs, huge ones, from US. Please, sell prints and such. Your 1 and 10 hour paintings are awesome as well. It is as if falling into a dream, the 3 paintings. The deeper you fall, the clearer the image is. Again, amazing gorgeous phenomenal work.
Love love love this one!! I want a poster of it for my art room!!! Or a color in poster! This design rocked!!!!!! Please please please consider marketing this one! Especially the 100 hour one. That one is INCREDIBLE.
the hundred hours one is so accurate, you start thinking it's too much, freak out because it's taking too long, lose yourself in the work and has to catch up in the end lmaooo never felt so represented
Would love to see this challenge reversed - the 100hour painting first, the 1hour painting last. Whichever is the last version has the benefit of basically 2 trial runs where you get a much better idea of pacing composition and details, so it would be nice to see the 1hour version get that advantage instead.
Martina, When you first started I thought the 10 hour painting would turn out the best. Girl, how wrong I was! I should have remembered that all the dioramas you have done, especially the 10,000 brick 🧱 and shingle pieces, took time and patience to the n(th) degree. The 100 hour painting 🖼 is a masterpiece. The time gave you the ability to continue adding details. Details are the difference. You have proven again that your art is worth the time you spend. Fantastic video. Thank you 😍❤️😘! I’m not sure I could afford it, but a print of the 100 hour painting would be stupendous. Keep the aspidistra flying! Paul
The question is not if the 100 hours would be better, but .. is it better than 10 projects of 10 hours? On painting I personally think the middle ground ia above 10 but way under 100.
@tiago d’agostino, I do believe I shall let the artist decide that one. Quantity over quality has never been a good solution. Personal opinion only. Others may differ. Paul

You haven't found the diminishing returns yet, you need to do a 1000 hour one now.
Maybe a 200 hour painting instead, since that is more possible?

It's the main way someone in art can make a living... people have such idealistic and stupid ideas about "making a living as an artist" like everyone is some Da Vinci making meaningful and political art in their chamber...99% works for commercial art field, creating pretty but rather meaningless 2D illustrations and layouts... that's their job, if they want to make "artsy art" they mostly do it on their spare time... those jobs will be gone
Ah, another random RUclips recommendation of something amazing that leaves me wondering who are these elven superior beings that can create such magic that makes the rest of us feel utterly devoid of skill.
Update: ha, I see now that she calls one of her merch items "Elven Sketchbook". I KNEW they were elves.
If this is your first introduction, then a binge now will _blow your freaking mind_, cause the progress is so awesome in lots of ways!
The difference in the 100 hour painting is not just the detail. To me, the most significant difference is in the depth of color. The tones and contrast are just so much deeper and complex. Amazing job Martina.
When I saw the one hour, I was impressed by what you could do so quickly. Then I saw the 10 hour and I was blown away by how much better it looked. Then you put down the first couple background trees in the 100 hour one and I could immediately tell this was going to be a whole other level of amazing.
Now I’m going to go draw because if someone can spend that much time repainting the same scene I can go finish the drawing I started last night.
It also made me want to go work on my work-in-progress.
Did you ever finish it?
LITERALLY SAME 🤣 i havent touched my brushes in a while 😅🥲
Can we also appreciate the music choice for this video? It underlines the process just perfect.
music name?
as history unfolds

PLS Tell me there is someone who knows wich music plays at 5:50
This is a prime example of, “You can’t rush art!” It takes time and patience to get your art to where you want it to be. That way you’ll love and be proud of your work. Especially, if your a perfectionist like me.
i just love how martina just starts the painting without tension , regret and enjoys the process and even if a problem comes she just continues the painting and hopes for the best and it actually works like she is soo good with everything like this is what i call a creative person
I love that there’s almost always an element of “what the hell did I just sign myself up for?!” And she always delivers in spectacular fashion.
A dreamy, soft blue background with so much detail it looks like a filtered photo of an actual forest, a perfectly realistic elk grazing, the detail and shine of the character's armor and all the swords, the depth of red in the tree's foliage, the bark detail, this is an incredibly impressive piece! It was a delight to watch come to life, thank you! :D

@@shredd5705 ok?
@@ZenitsuKunn AI does better art already. The quality of detail is way higher, are you blind. With more detailed prompt, or combining few AI made images in photoshop, all the details would have been there and more. Painting 100 hours to get this result was waste of time. You can get better results with AI and maybe 1 hour of Photoshop. I used nothing but simple AI text string, and took first 4 results, which are already better looking than what she painted lol. But you fanboys are still heavily on copium I see..
@@siarsMM Are you blind, it's way better what she painted in 100 hours LMAO. Lacking some details like the swords yes, but I just quickly typed something

I don’t understand how you can stay comited to a piece and continually work on it for 100 hours. Mad respect. Also it turned out looking BEAUTIFUL!
“30 Hours on the background” it would be an amazing painting just that background!! Your talent is so inspiring, I’ve no words to describe your job😍❤️
i was a bit hurt when she painted red leafs over the backgound trees. and yeah the background is awesome.
This video really gave me an appreciation for the detail and time that can go into a beautiful painting. The first one is a good painting all on its own. I was like, how is she going to fill the time with the last one when the first is already so good?
Seeing the time lapse of you painting the last one gave me a better understanding of the painting process. The different layers of the leaves, the details on the knight, the light filtering through the trees - watching you paint it all made me appreciate the painting all the more. I feel like I could search through a painting better after watching you paint the 100 hour one.
The last one is truly magnificent, and I'm really happy I stumbled upon this video.
100 hours: Epic, majestic, magnificent, beautiful, extraordinary!.
10 hours: Aesthetic and very nice, bright and clean.
1 hour: Still better than I can do in 1000 hours xD
I disagree, first, 1 hour, was better
in 1000 hours of painting you could get good enough that wouldnt be true
@@NightofKnights work doesn't = beauty, sorry
@@dragosmihai1001 determination effort and time can create skill though.

Hats off to the 100 hour one as an artist I can feel every stroke its perfect.
UPDATE: I HAVE PURCHASED THE ALMIGHTY SKETCHBOOK!!!! I am gonna cry I am so happy, I finally was able to purchase something from you guys and support you in some way T-T this is the most expensive sketchbook I have ever gotten but it is also the most incredibly beautiful and I am so beyond excited to receive it thank you sooo much
Aaahh thank you for the support, I hope you'll like it!! 💜🙏
Same I just got it because it looks sick and but I hope the quality justifies the price 😅😅
@@MrRichManGuy honestly seeing how she used it in the video convinced me the quality will be amazing, I am beyond excited to get it in the mail when they start shipping
@@Nerdforge IT SHIPPED, I AM SCREAMING BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY T-T I am soo beyond excited, this feels like christmas x10!!!! THANK YOUUUUU
Heck yes I would love a print of this! I really love your art style. Happy to see there are new sketchbooks, I found your channel fairly recently so was disappointed to have missed the other ones. Got mine ordered already, I’m so excited!!!! Have a great day
Yessss so would i!!!!🙏
YES PLEASSSSSE MAKE A PRINT. I literally kept checking everyday for the mythology wolf print and I bought it as soon as it went up for sale! It hangs above my computer setup, and I just love it so much.
Now this… it would look so nice next to the other print 😱🎨💕
One thing about this as well is that each successive attempt you get to determine the things you liked/disliked about the previous attempts. So you can plan to make changes in style/composition, foreground/background etc. I love this format every time I see someone do it. But I also think it'd be interesting to see someone just do the same image three times with say like 10 hours each time. And see if maybe the first time you went a little harder on the lighting and shadows, and then you take a step back and realize it's a little hyper realistic and you don't prefer it, and then on your second attempt you find a mix of colors you really like, but don't have enough time to really play with it, so on your third attempt you have all the planning and experience and trial and error of the previous two attempts to nail down what you love. That way each painting is more easily comparable than 1,10,100 hr where it's like yeah of course you're going to be searching for details to add in 100 hours, while struggling to finish in 1 hour.
That's a nice idea!
moral of the story: Its never "too less" or "too much" time. just take the time you need an challenge yourself to put as many details as you can think of. all the paintings turned out awesome! I gotta work on getting better at backgrounds. I think i might try to use your backgrounds as inspiration and references. i cant stop watching your videos!
True
No question at all - let there be prints of this artwork! Absolutely incredible artwork, I enjoyed every second of this video. The one-hundred-hour painting blew me away.
Did You HAVE TO make this video?! Now I'm super curious and want to try it myself 😂
Hahhah yeesss do it!! 🤩🔥
@nerdforge PLEASE make a print of the 100 hour painting you did, it is absolutely amazing. I would definitely buy one!
This painting really reminds me of the godswood in Winterfell, Game of Thrones. Especially the scene from episode 1 where Ned cleans his sword after beheading the nights watch deserter. I would love to see more GoT inspired projects, especially with the spin off coming up (I found this channel because of your iron throne diy)
So I was NOT the only one being reminded of a weirwood tree/iron throne crossover, good to know!
It would be interesting if another one hour painting came at the end once you were super familiar with the subject.
Yes agree completely she'll have better time management and knowledge after that much experience with 3 paintings
i think that's against the purpose, the purpose is to see how much u can do from scrap in an hour
@@konstantinkrastev4478 Well, she wasn’t drawing from scratch in the 10 and 100 hour versions. And I think she said some planning went in before the project started…
@@BrandonCase True but the speed doesn't matter as much for those u have more time to concept
I get it but I suppose a 1hr painting after 100 hours of experience with the same painting doesn't really count if you're comparing for the sake of choosing how much time to spend on a project. Also there's just so much you can do in one hour. But still it would be really interesting for sure!
That would definitely be a nice print to do. There is an amount of time where after that you don't really get any meaningful additions to a painting of that size but it greatly depends on the painter & the subject. For you painting that exact painting again it would be 200 hours. For Bob Ross it would be 4 hours.
Did you just roast our good lord and saviour, Bob Ross?!
@@Miss-Hellcat666 quite the opposite i would argue. The whole Point of Bob Ross' paintings was to be simple and approachable. If you go too Long you lose that effect and the Style and vibe will Change complete
@@heart.9889 Aha, thank you for the perspective:)
The 100 hour piece is unreal. All the time texturing the background & filling it out, plus the subtler usage of color really paid off. It brought so much life to the piece. The lighting was so on point throughout it also.
This just made me cry. Literally. There's such a rush in almost everything these days thanks to the overall system, values of society, the marketability of a product, the pressure of making a living etc. etc. So I love that this comparison is not done with the aim to add marketability as a factor. It (unfortunately) is a huge factor normally, but... who doesn't want to make art for the art itself at least once! The 100 hours result is awesome!
I spent half the run time on the 100hr painting thinking about how I’d love a print of it 😭❤️
The whole concept of this painting is amazing in this 100 hours. I can already see the story of this world, which is like a fantasy epic full of tragedy, loss, hope and mystery. As if this is some mystical place full of spirits of fallen warriors whose swords are stuck around a tree and this knight has come for guidance or to pray because this is perhaps some holy place for knights without a purpose or a path to follow. That's why I think many possibilities and stories can be told only from this painting, but it all depends on the amount of inspiration and imagination for such an idea, although a few come to mind already, but it needs a lot of thinking because I am sure that a very good story can be created from this painting if someone wants to write it or draw it because any way of telling the story would be a challenge.
I just found your channel today, I think and it's already one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your work, seriously it's too amazing!
Omg as you were paining the 100h painting I was like "This looks absolutely stunning. I wonder if they can do a print or a Displate version of this" and at the end you actually offered it!!!! I'm so happy! Yes! Please do a run on this! I will order it and put it on my wall among all my other nerdy stuff!
I’d love a print! You could do postcards, actual prints, a digital download, and so many wonderful things. Even putting that design on a shirt or tote bag 😍 love how they all turned out
I just love the vibe of this channel!!!
That 100 hour one was absolutely mesmerising to watch. The advert snapped me put of a trance at 1 second
To me this painting has more of the 'memorial to a fallen comrade' vibe to it rather than that of 'warriors giving up their sword'. Regardless of personal interpretation of the painting, that is a stunningly beautiful piece. Just gorgeous
The Tree of Fallen Warriors - After being cut down in battle, you bring your comrade's sword to the Tree. The battlefield blood on the swords left in tribute color the leaves red.
Your videos are so inspirational and have helped feed my creativity. Now I just want to paint and draw and make things!
Yessss..it's true...I also thought to make a channel of my own... inspired from you guys
I hope this shows people exactly why good art is so expensive, you're paying for the hours of effort and talent!
Additionally, not shown in the video are thousands of hours of her learning, studying and practicing for this!
It's the first video i saw on this channel. I really haven't ever been interested about painting and just tought "yolo, lets check the difference." Then watched trough the whole video and at some point i realized i just dropped a tear, when thinking how beautiful that painting is. Just incredible job 🤯
Love this. I just released a video to the DIY community yesterday, making something out of one 2 x 4 in 30 minutes, two hours and a one day build. I link your previous time video because it was my biggest inspiration to launch this challenge. As always you guys rock thank you so much
the fact that you can sit down and paint for hours and hours is very impressive... I could never do that lol I'd prob leave after 30 mins or something and wait til I have motivation to continue xD
The bark on the 100 hour tree is amazing. Definitely going to incorporate that style in my future tree paintings.
Now we understand how they came up with abstract art. You know the one hour stuff
More like ten minutes..... Her one hour is still significantly better than a lot of abstract art.
Nah lmao, the one hour stuff has more in common with Impressionist artists, as they painted quickly and on the spot to capture fleeting scenery and urban life.
@takiclintonharness1449You’re being ignorant, that’s just a fact, don’t kill the messenger …
I'd really love to have you're paintings as displate! Why isn't that part of the sponsor deal?
I know right, it is such an obvious crossover!
Seeing how you are able to make anything into something purely magical and whimsical is truly inspiring! Thank you for making such wonderful content
You know, when I painted paintings, I would lose all of my patience it’s like a flick of a light switch after just painting for 10 minutes, and this video showed me so so much! Thank you so much for teaching me something without even mentioning it or even talking about it, you are so amazing!
The 100 hour piece is priceless. I want a print. This needs to be in museums.
The details in the background of the 100 hour painting are incredible, I absolutely love it 💕
I have to watch this later but wanted to pop by and say THANK YOU for inspiring me to start building dioramas, I just finished a dice tower for roleplay games and have already started another one... it's just so much fun to bring tiny worlds to life. Thank you for being such a WONDERFUL inspiration and creative force, wishing you both blessings on your paths wherever they may lead
That is the most beautiful painting I have ever seen. We should appreciate how much time she puts in her videos
10:23 insane goosebumbs, like INSANE.
I would love it if you made prints for your Norway paintings, but this one is amazing too! You're so amazingly talented! Lots of love from your fans!
Why would anyone not want a print of this gorgeous masterpiece? Abso-freaking-lutely YES to making a print out of this. Would be the perfect fit for a Displate piece, actually.
I would buy it in an instance! We really need this as a Displate!
It would be interesting to do the shortest version of the painting last, and see how that differs from doing it at the start. I'D LIKE A PRINT!
Hi, I didn't know you before and I wasnt really into painting at any point of my life. But this video is nuts! Not only what you achive by producing your paintings. Also your sense of humour chatches me completely. Well done, I really enjoyed it.
The final result of the 100 hr painting is absolutely stunning and amazing! You are so talented. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and your videos.
I love your painting, I love the textures, the shades, the colours, the fades, everything. Well I think I might get back into painting again now that you have inspired me more, Thank you so much #Nerdforge
I'm really impressed when someone can spend so much time on a drawing. I exclusively draw with ink freehand on A4 paper so everything is done fast which I love because I have absolutely zero patience and it really impresses me when people spend so much time on one painting and render every detail and make it clean and everything whereas I'm just messy and spend 1 hour max on a page.
I think all of them have their own merit in different ways! The first one reminds me of scenery paintings by Impressionists, the 10 hour one is more in line with standard illustrations and the 100 hours one makes me think I’m staring at a photo taken with a large format camera.
The diference is amazing and the result of the 100 painting is incredible! I would love to get a print from this!
This feels like a ending in a game, after a long and dangerous journey, countless deaths and victories, putting your sword down and knowing you can finally rest in piece
Every one of them looked amazing for me. You really pulled everything out of the time you had. You see on every picture how it has like 10 times more details.
I just found you (yt suggested this video) and I love your paintings
The 100 hour one is defiantly a favorite of mine and truly shows how much someone can grow and learn in just one painting
this is actually so amazing. i’m getting goosebumps just looking at the 100 hour painting! it’s crazy how much detail you put into it and how much motivation you had to actually finish it! so in awe!! 💕💕
O.M.G I thought the 10 hour one was awesome but the 100 hour just blew me away. You are one gifted and hard working person.
Was recommended this and just wanted to say it's so good! Without even mentioning how great each piece turned out (especially the 100 hours!!) the editing style and your personality are just so fun to watch. The concept is also really fun, I used to do sketch challenges of 1 minute, 10 minutes and 1 hour and this is that times 100. Really inspiring to actually finish SOMETHINg, even if it's at the middle level, with the ocasional high level piece (as you mentioned, you rarely spend much more time than 10 hours).
I loved your 100 hour painting with the cold blueish background and the warm tree with strong and beautiful roots letting through the lightrays onto the ground revealing the secrets laying in the dark so much that I just want to stare at it on my wall. I would love to have it. And I'm not even that fond of pictures or paintings on walls etc. I just want this painting in my room. My mind is now at peace because of the beauty and stressed because I can't have it (yet?).
I used to think I could never spend a long time on art I make, because I run out of patience really quickly, but well...
A few days ago, i finally finished something I spent over a month on.
Turns out, if I take things one part at a time, it's easier to not run out of patience.
No idea, if it's like that in general, or just for me, but maybe it'll help someone, so yeah... maybe try to look at things not as a whole, but as pieces.
I watch a good friend I have known for decades do her art. I am always amazed.
Your work is always phenomenal. Thank You for this video showing the love and dedication that is in your work.
I love your adventures and the joy you give. I apologize for not seeing this until today.
Hugs, huge ones, from US. Please, sell prints and such. Your 1 and 10 hour paintings are awesome as well. It is as if falling into a dream, the 3 paintings. The deeper you fall, the clearer the image is.
Again, amazing gorgeous phenomenal work.
4:28 The light streaks coming through the canopy really add to it
Love love love this one!! I want a poster of it for my art room!!! Or a color in poster! This design rocked!!!!!! Please please please consider marketing this one! Especially the 100 hour one. That one is INCREDIBLE.
The 100hour turned out amazing, so much detail 🥰 trying to level up my painting skills! Just ordered your new Sketchbook! 🥳 can't wait
the hundred hours one is so accurate, you start thinking it's too much, freak out because it's taking too long, lose yourself in the work and has to catch up in the end lmaooo never felt so represented
13:47 was not expecting Arcane but YES
Would love to see this challenge reversed - the 100hour painting first, the 1hour painting last. Whichever is the last version has the benefit of basically 2 trial runs where you get a much better idea of pacing composition and details, so it would be nice to see the 1hour version get that advantage instead.
I would LOOOOVE a print. That looks so amazing! And I'm getting on those sketchbooks.
Martina,
When you first started I thought the 10 hour painting would turn out the best. Girl, how wrong I was! I should have remembered that all the dioramas you have done, especially the 10,000 brick 🧱 and shingle pieces, took time and patience to the n(th) degree. The 100 hour painting 🖼 is a masterpiece. The time gave you the ability to continue adding details. Details are the difference. You have proven again that your art is worth the time you spend. Fantastic video. Thank you 😍❤️😘!
I’m not sure I could afford it, but a print of the 100 hour painting would be stupendous.
Keep the aspidistra flying!

The question is not if the 100 hours would be better, but .. is it better than 10 projects of 10 hours? On painting I personally think the middle ground ia above 10 but way under 100.
@tiago d’agostino,
I do believe I shall let the artist decide that one. Quantity over quality has never been a good solution. Personal opinion only. Others may differ.
