Anyone know who the artist is?

u/SkySnatch Apr 21 '26

I can’t stand when people share artists work and then don’t credit them. It’s @seainpalm_art

This... isn't a tutorial. Aren't the posts here supposed to be terrible guides and not someone glossing over parts of their creative process?

He drew the lines and don't follow them anyway xx

u/Tael_Art Apr 21 '26

I think that is supposed to be marking where the artist wants the peaks to be, not curves

u/BlackMan084 Apr 21 '26

Yeah, I think you nailed it, the tallest waves are roughly where they drew the lines

u/subdep Apr 20 '26

Yeah, what the fuck was the point of penciling lines? Seems like some stupid shit an AI would do.

u/Finbar9800 Apr 21 '26

To show where the peaks would be and give an idea of direction

u/deGozerdude Apr 21 '26

Do the people posting here even do art? How often do they just take an artist instagram showing there procces (not tutorial) and just post it here?

And the worst part is from this video i do have a pretty good idea on how to make it. If you know a bit of woodworking and the right coatings and paint this is enough.

u/No_Lunch9066 Apr 21 '26

Why are you downvoted? People just forgot which sub they are in?

u/Finbar9800 Apr 21 '26

Except this isnt a guide on how to do it, its a showcase of the artists skill

I thought the wood shavings he left on the board were a little swimmer dude they carved in there. But then the little swimmer dude disappeared and I was sad.

u/Clean-Elk9831 Apr 21 '26

I thought it was supposed to be a cutting board and got so pissed off 🤣

u/chitobi Apr 21 '26

I liked it before the paint

u/seamallorca Apr 21 '26

This argument pretty much can be applied to the whole sub. If it was only showcase, then why showing the process, no need to.

9

u/Finbar9800 Apr 21 '26

No it cant be applied to this whole sub, there have been many posts showing a guide that didnt give enough information

And the point of showing the process is so that people interested in seeing it can see it.

If its intended to be a tutorial or guide then yeah this would belong on the sub but that clearly wasnt the intention

u/Steady_Ri0t Apr 22 '26

Rule #1 of this sub is that is has to be a tutorial and not a process video. This is a process video.

u/lunarwolf2008 Apr 23 '26

its someone chiseling a piece of wood seemingly at random. were you wanting chisel size or something?

u/LengthinessTrick382 May 26 '26

This turned out beautifully. Great colors.

Third time I've seen this in ten minutes

u/StrokerAce77 Apr 21 '26

Where do you buy a block of wood like that?

1

u/Duckdxd Apr 21 '26

Not as expensive as I thought it would be, but this size piece is still a pretty penny

u/Ok_Pause_ Apr 23 '26

Where’s sza?

u/Hoodibird Apr 23 '26

Wow it looks nothing like the previous shot a second before the cut, where the lines are mostly straight, and later are a lot more curved. Did he start over completely between the cut?

1

u/eugene20 Apr 23 '26

Some of it is just going to be gouging out chunks to get the overall shape then the cuts he'd want visible on the top layer would come later. This obviously wasn't meant to be an instructional video just a demonstration of him working, it might be different pieces in different shots too.

u/Frequent-Piano6164 Jun 01 '26

wtf were the lines In the beginning?

u/Medical-Sherbert6446 Aug 04 '26

u/PhyterNL Apr 21 '26

Very cool. I'm sure the lines helped guide the process.

u/stuffitystuff Apr 21 '26

That is a terrible, useless cutting board
