I think the best way I can describe eyes like that is that they see through you. Not like in an aggressive way, they dont portray anger or malice, but just this kind of sly understanding. Maybe it's that they know what you're going through and empathize, maybe they see through your bullshit, maybe they're just figuring out how you tick. But those are the eyes of someone who knows more than they're ever going to tell you and I think that's part of the appeal.
I watched a RUclips video by you like 4 years ago when I was 12, and you were all intense and vulgar, which was totally my style at the time. Nowadays my demeanor is more mild, and it would appear yours has also changed that way. I'm a stranger at a computer, but it was funny seeing how I've changed, and so have you. Keep doing what you're doing, RUclips user.
We knew this would happen the moment the world was introduced to TotK Purah design. Always happy to see at least *my* biggest inspiration and hope you get a feasibly improved sleep then what you usually recieve.
I noticed in this game even more how weird it is that the main characters are super well designed, but all other npcs (even important ones like quest givers) still look like the Mii-Abominations from BotW.
What a gorgeous drawing. I'm really glad you decided to share this with us. I also really resonated with the idea of intimacy you were talking about earlier, it really grounds something and makes it better in my opinion.
Over the years I've seen your gripes on & off. Each time my brain is screaming... "DO ART. DRAW. WORK HARD" and it never, ever, happened. My laziness prevails over your inspiring content. Hope you're doin' well, though. Wonderful work as always.
Your description of how you interpret her eyes is interesting. I have never even seen this character before this video but those type of eyes immediately give a dtf energy. Bedroom eyes esque to an extent but more than anything it conveys "I want to eat you alive" in a bedroom sense. As for the pareidolia, that is one of the words that will always be in my vocabulary due to it being an Elena Sigman Easter egg song in black ops zombies. And it's something that is outright amplified for me, I see faces in practically everything, when I was a stoner the knots of trees became eyes so the whole tree looked as though a gibbering mass if I stared at it too long.
I get that interest in high energy art and you don't see a lot of it in western art that much anymore. I generally think it's kind of in the same vein as sketches in the sense that people like them because the looser feel appeals to people on an unconscious level. Btw, that manga artist's name is Yusuke Murata. There's a comic artist I follow who's inspired by manga that has kinetic art like that named Jorge Jimenez
The artist for the new one punch man manga is Yusuke Murata. What’s really fascinating to see is how in the manga that he did before one punch man called “Eyeshield 21” is how he evolved as an artist, going from simpler but still visually pleasing character designs, to full on artworks for each panel where he perfected how to breathe motion into a picture, whilst also nailing his linework and shading. It’s like the reverse from what happens to popular mangas where the artwork simply improves due to the artist drawing every week and settling for character designs, but over time due to overworking themselves their artwork suffers, not in the sense that they lose their ability to draw, just that they can’t keep up with the weekly deadline.
I dunno what it is about Purah. Like she SHOULD check all the boxes for me but something about it seems off. It might just be the white hair, honestly. I kinda miss the red streak. She's still got those come hither eyes though so that DOES do a lot.
Plague discussing Purah's lolibaba design in BotW and why she looks like an abomination makes me compare her stature to imp Midna. They both have really large heads but scaled down bodies so Purah looks like an imp or dwarf than a child.
Purah's face is one of analysis. She's an active scientist whose list of questions grow when she studies something or someone. Her dedication and enthusiasm keeps her straightforward and this gives very little room for deception.
If nintendo can cook up masterpieces like her, i look forward to what we get in the game. Cause together with totk and botw, we got Purah, urbosa, mipha, sidon, we got AAAAAALL the spice!
I've been having the exact same sleeping problems. For the past 14 years. But I think mines mostly pain related and dealing with animals and anxiety. I almost had a proper sleep schedule for a full week. Almost. Love your gripes, makes me want to do art again and improve.
I feel like a lot of shorts are chasing Vine and how that used to be, TikTok has a different feel and has gotten rather, overlapped? Multiple videos playing at once and a bunch trend chasing (which vine had a lot of too). Shorts has also allowed for highlights and short animations on RUclips again in a more algorithm friendly format.
I had literally the same problem. A special someone visited from out of state, and my body utterly refuses to get up earlier. Stay up later? Increasingly later? No problem. Stay awake for 24 hours straight? No sweat. Get up 1 hour earlier than normal? Absolute hell.
Yah. Sleep disorders SUCK. I got one where I just go into REM and get the paralysis along side it but I'm not unconscious when it's happening so I don't actually get the Mental reset everyone else does. And then during the day, I just randomly lose motor control and stuff just flies out of my hands
Sounds like your circadian rhythm is using a garage punk band to keep time. Have you tried various forms of exercise at different hours (evening, rather than morning) or tweaking your diet? Thanks for the content, as always. Take care of yourself, chief.
Plague, you need to try something different with the youtube shorts thumbnails. The only reason I know to click on them is because I eventually figured out they were yours. I imagine using a half-and-half picture with the top half of the finished picture and the bottom half of the sketch. That makes the character's face immediately recognizable and allows the picture to tease some cleavage from the final shot while still communicating that the content is drawing based. And good luck with the "someone special".
You can't set thumbnails on youtube shorts. It's generated from whatever is inside the video, randomly, so you'd need to ruin the whole video with a bunch of eye catch bullcrap.
@@PlagueOfGripes I was going to say my bad, but apparently custom thumbnails *are* possible on the Android app. And maybe IOS, but I can't tell if people are just making that up. Iunno how interested you are in the extra homework, but Bluestacks emulation should be able to function as a workaround if nothing else does. I'm definitely excited to see what comes out of you experimenting with content style. A Baalbuddy comic style of still images with voiceovers would be right up your alley if you have spare ideas that never had the time to see daylight.
Don't know if you'll read this but just wanted to say love the vids Gripe. Also, if you're concerned you have a sleep disorder, I 110% recommend going to a doctor about it. I recently fixed my sleep apnea a couple months ago and it has improved every quality of my life. Best of luck, and keep up the great work.
Her eyes to me. as cute as she is. id prolly would have to stay away 😂 id call her lowkey dangerous. i love her eyes. and i didnt realize until i seen you drawing them... if i was to talk to a girl with eyes like that (or any of what she got tbh) is dangerous lmao... She gives a very soft, trusting look. but at the same time. because she does.. i feel could get me in trouble. .if she looked at me the right way and asked me to rob a bank.. id k if id do it.. but id consider it LMAO really hard consider.
Amazing. Global crisis in some areas made me jobless, so i sleep till 1 pm. today, i decided to skip sleep and do chores in the morning, finished at 2 pm, slept for 3 hours, woke up, ate for the first time. sidenote: i was drinking all night and eating unhealthy spicy korean instant ramen. I love this feeling in my brain when i'm actually exhausted in the right hours. Just don't drink. Alcohol is my caffeen.
Hi Eli. So two things: 1, how are you getting the CSP time lapse data recorded? I've tried over and over to look up where the toggle is in the menus and I do find where it SHOULD be, at the bottom of the create new file window. But it's not there for me. And all the tutorials and forum entries on the subject are 2 years old and either say "it's coming, it hasn't been added yet." or just assume it's there and have no info on why it wouldn't be there. I'm running version 1.9.9. This is driving me nuts and I'm at a complete loss. And 2, when you mentioned art with a lot of motion and expression I thought of this manga that's recently been being fan translated, "Flaming Ball Girl Dodge Danko". It's a cute, goofy over-the-top "sports" manga that has a very 70-80's old-school style to it, and has great exaggerated motion. Very basic, fun gag anime, but it's got a lot of personality.
When you make a new file it gives you a "record timelapse" toggle on the bottom of that screen window. After that, the timelapse export options are in the file menu.
Oh my god, he drew only ONE half of her face and ten just mirrored it. ANd ehre I am drawing the whole face like a fucking chump. I should just turn in my tablet, Eli has clearly won at art.
GOD, I wish Procreate had gradient maps...I love procreate more than any other art software Ive used, but that one feature is just so shitty in Procreate 🙄
"She's got a lot going on, and I like all of it." is a great line. Sounds like the compliment a guy in a black and white movie might pay a lady.
Only thing to improve that line woulda been a jazz stinger at the end and a puff of a cigar.
My body does the same thing. You got me into art 8 years ago and it's the best worst thing to happen to me, love seeing and hearing from you
If you haven't done one yet, I would recommend getting a sleep study. Stuff like sleep apnea is super common.

Exactly yes
YES. Thank you. I feel my own eyes have this ‘piercing, but not immediately aggressive’ kind of vibe. I love to see them on anyone.
Bro why'd they go so hard with her redesign, god damn
wdym she looked like this in the musou game
I guess he's plagued by his sleep schedule.
You clever sunofagun.
The first plague pun I've ever read 😂
46 minutes to rewatch several times within the next month. You have that chill effect.

Keep doing what you're doing, RUclips user.
Thank you plague for all of these videos. You were the one that inspired me to get into art.
11:44 "her design is cute" is hella accurate, Nintendo did great with character designs
nintendo preparing to sue a 7 year-old Armenian child for selling off a cardboard cutout of Mario for the equivalent of $0.15 USD
I see you everywhere

Betty Davis eyes and Lester Green mouth, that's the 'yamato nadeshiko' ideal. Very prominent in Majora's Mask.
Definitely get a secretary attitude from Purah which also goes for her eyes giving you the "Be a dear and sign these papers for me will you"
What a gorgeous drawing. I'm really glad you decided to share this with us. I also really resonated with the idea of intimacy you were talking about earlier, it really grounds something and makes it better in my opinion.
I like that Purah has discovered the secret of immortality and isn't then automatically a villain.
I've always enjoyed these art gripe videos
Thanks for the upload Eli,
always makes my day.

Here from Woolie's Disco Elysium playthrough and boy you really do sound like one of the characters
I really love these videos, I always come out feeling I've learned at least 5 things. Thanks for what you do

Appreciate you my dude.
I was hoping it would be Riju, but this is pretty good too.
Always love hearing about how you're doing bud. Great work as always.
Plague you are a massive influence in the way i draw and i hope to some day be as good as you homie keep up the good work

Been waiting for this video since the game came out
My body does the same. A way I get around it is just stay up all night then go to sleep 5he time I need to trick it back to and older sleep schedule.
The moment I saw her new design I thought "S tier design plagues is gonna love that"
Always thought puruh was cool. Nice work!
excellent piece my man! thank you very much!!

God damn it Eli, you've done it again
20:39 I belive the teem you were looking for is Pareidolia.
Edit: Nevermind. you got it. Lol.
And here i thought it was Simulacrum. Darned Rimuru the slime
If nintendo can cook up masterpieces like her, i look forward to what we get in the game. Cause together with totk and botw, we got Purah, urbosa, mipha, sidon, we got AAAAAALL the spice!

Ever notice a dog get more excited when they see another dog that looks more wolf-like? Same thing.
I really like this composition
Fits wallpapers a little too well…

As soon as I saw her I knew 100% Eli would be all over it.
Good designs get me interested in Zelda.
Currently running on 4-5 hours average. :D
I spontaneously pass out during work.
I knew he would come to this design, as reliable as a hawk to an unsupervised Chihuahua
It's dangerous to go alone. Here, take this. Now, go enjoy fighting animals out in the wilderness, Eli.
Thank you, Eli
Her heads so big because of that big brain of her's.
The artist for the one punch man manga is Murata

Now draw her like a Midna-esque shortstack.
It's still really good even though it's not something you're normally doing
Me: I don't like Purah, she's a child...
Plague: What if i draw glowup Purah?
20 years old?
Me: Now i like Purah
How did I know the fan art of Purah was coming when I saw shed fixed her age last week.
So we all ignore how she looked in Age of Calamity?
Her eyes to me. as cute as she is. id prolly would have to stay away 😂 id call her lowkey dangerous. i love her eyes. and i didnt realize until i seen you drawing them... if i was to talk to a girl with eyes like that (or any of what she got tbh) is dangerous lmao...

You could try doing grey scaling for the skin only and doing the rest how your used to.
Well, they say that 3-4 am is the best time for creativity.
Not if you need to be at work by 6 :/
@@kalinmir Pssh, just go to bed really early, and sacrifice your after work life to the creativity gods.
Sorry to hear that hope everything is alright with sleep schedules, any tips on going to college mainly for animation
did we already see this design in age of calamity?
I have yet to play the new Zelda game but I will eventually
hello hello eli
