Creating custom art for the voice of Goku
Long-time deviant @phil-cho has made a name for himself through his character illustrations and steady output of artwork that appeals to comic and pop-culture lovers alike. Learn what inspires him, how he became a professional artist, and discover what tips, tricks, and advice he has for artists! How would you describe your art style to someone new to your art? My style lands somewhere between the look in superhero comic books and superhero animation. I was influenced by the likes of Jim Lee, Phil Bourassa, and Akira Toriyama, but I like to think I've developed my own style at this point. What inspired you to first start making art? I was always drawing as a little kid, and I just never stopped. I started taking it more seriously around 2011 or so, while I was going through college.

Kurzgeschichte - Mother and Daughter
Mother and Daughter
Es begann mit einer Tochter und endete mit einer Mutter. War sie zunächst noch neugierig, so war sie schließlich grausam. Eine Unterscheidung zwischen beidem zu treffen, Neugier und Grausamkeit, hat sich seit jeher als schwierige Aufgabe erwiesen, wie ihre Geschöpfe mir immer und immer wieder gezeigt haben.
Am Anfang war die Welt. Die Welt welche ich für uns erschuf, nachdem wir unsere eigene verlassen hatten. Gut gehütet in ewiger Schwärze, die sie später als ‘Universum’ bezeichneten, bildete sie die erste von vielen hundert anderen Welten und ‘Universen’ die ic
