It tooks hours to do these three pages, it tooks lot of try before to find a way to have the exact amount of pictures from the original scene, into these pages, taking screenshot, one by one, and to insert them. Long, but everything who is long worth it. I remembered myself drawing non-stop, thinking I will never finish it. But like a long hike, a long bike trip, every step you do leads you to the end. I'm quite proud I was able to finish these pages, and being able to show that, if you don't give up, if you just do, you reach an end.
I thought a lot about AI doing these pages. Of course, I could have asked to an AI to do these pages for me. It would take what ? Ten seconds ? Instead of months of work ? But where would be the fun ? Where would be the catharsis in this repetitive work ? And I thought that was also that, art. Art is doing. Art is going through. Art is exploring your medium, exploring your base, your ressources, and working with it, through it, through pain, but also because doing it is pleasure. At the end, the value of a work, as art, is what you give as a person in it. What an AI can give, when she create something. She doesn't even think about it, or suffer about it, doesn't have any pleasure. And that's why AI could never replace artist. Of course, it's cheaper, it's faster, it's production. But it's not art, as I define it myself, how I experimented it.
Also I asked myself a lot of questions about this photoshoot. If one day, I would be able to talk with Devin Druid or a producer of the serie, I wish I could ask them of this photoshoot has been made, has been think. I imagined everything has been made in a row. But still, what about the variation of emotion, are some pictures has been thought depending on when it supposed to happened comparing to the story of S3. Is there a picture who is link to Brice death ? To Tyler telling the truth to Clay ? A picture linked to the assembly in the gym ? Yes, when you draw picture after picture, you take the time to see the number of pictures done, and if there is a story behind each of them - or if simply, they just has been made really quickly with no real thinking behind. I wonder.
Yes ... it was long. #gzaltan #13reasonswhy #netflix #photo #autoportrait #thirteenreasonswhy #tylerdown #devindruid #recovery #drawing #pictures #bd #comics #adaptation #tvshow #serie #drama #whenyouhavesomethinginmind #project #catharsis
