    Ross is such a huge inspiration, Seeing Nima’s universe come to life has been so magical, it really inspires young artists like me who want their OC’s stories to come to life too someday :) 💕I’ve been wanting to buy NIMA for such a long time and I think I might be able to get it soon! definitely my favourite book ever and I don’t even have it yet!

      I am so so so so excited for you to dive into the world of Nima!!! One of the most rewarding things as an artist as to tell your story in your own way. I'm excited for you to get immersed and find out your favorite characters!!

    Thank you Ross for helping fellow artists like me to give more of an insight into everything that goes into making an artbook. This video has been highly anticipated and it was definitely worth the time waiting for it because it was so helpful. I'm definitely going to save this to watch again at a later date. You're such a huge inspiration; especially when it comes to worldbuilding. You've inspired me to make my own artbook for my world 'Kingdom of Eira' - makes me so full of joy! I can't thank you enough ah~ ❤️✨

    Hi Ross, I dont think you will ever see this but I still wanted to say this.
    You have been an inspiration for me, ever since I was a teen. Now, for a university project, I intend to make an art book of my own - with the purpose of growing myself as an artist - and this video of yours is godsend! You have no idea how much your wisdom has helped.
    So thank you for everything, Ross!

    7:35 here in my city in Brazil is the oposite! I tryed to print my art on the print store in my city, the blue turned into black, the red turned into some rly desaturated red and the dark grey and black seems to be the same color for the printer... I fixed adding much, MUCH more bright on reds, blues and dark greys.

  • @BARF_FACE_9000
    @BARF_FACE_9000 5 месяцев назад

    Thank you for sharing your insight. I have wanted to make an artbook for a long time. I have plenty of art at this point, but not a huge audience- so would likely do a small print run. I just hope established publishers offer lower run amounts at reasonable pricing (whereas I'm not going to be printing thousands - or maybe even hundreds..) of books. Maybe in time...
    Thanks!!

    - Works of Wonder by Michael Whelan
    - Beyond the Horizon by John Harris
    - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson
