My Bio

:tutorialfire:NO AI (Unless clearly stated in description)


'DerectumArt' is, thematically, the crystallized Light that shines across the infinite landscapes of the great Unconscious.

The aim is to research the sacred connections between mythology and psychology, or the ways the mind works within the frameworks of philosophy, metaphysics, religion/spirituality and depth psychology.

I mainly create digital art inspired by these concepts, as well as videogames, comic-books/manga. I also write fiction and non-fiction alike, in combination with art.

The best way to remain up to date with my work is by subscribing to the newsletter.

My Commitment to you as an Artist With the wave of extremely advanced AI generated content, including lifelike videos at this point, I think it's important to state a few things, from a creator's perspective. I don't have anything against AI (ChatGPT is helping me expand my cognitive level beyond anything I thought possible) and AI-generated Art probably won't go away, and sometimes it's handy to use. However, I despise the idea of looking at something without understanding what it is (not in an artsy/emotional sense, but in this context you know what I mean). Therefore I pledge this: - I will NEVER throw AI-generated slop at you. I will endeavour to caption and explain how an artwork was made (I make 99% of all my art on Photoshop, sometimes using other software). There is one (1) gallery here that contains some AI-generated experimental artworks, which I did just for fun. Everything else is mine, aside from two or three artworks which use partially AI-content (there are 3 artworks

What is Experimental Art? This artwork was created using a combination of the Warcraft III World Editor, its Model Viewer and Photoshop. This is like painting with 3D assets and models - stuff like this just allows one to unleash creativity within the boundaries of a world. If you combine this with the wealth of custom models on Hiveworkshop the possibilities are endless. Below are my previous works. I really cared about encapsuling the scene inside a frame that could give it life. And the best way to make a frame was by using the game's UI, which is beautifully done and stood the test of time.

Inspired by the likes of Deus Ex, Westworld and Blade Runner, Meliade tells a story about trauma, healing, dreams, and a journey through the depths of the mind, all packaged in a unique, illustrated novel.

Thanks for the Quartz Badge!

Heya! I’m the fan of yours from Archive who left the longass reviews on Rise of the Blood God. If not for college I’d be reading more of your stuff. DeviantArt tells me its your birthday week, so I pass my wishes to you for a happy one, and for profound happiness that lasts far beyond your birthday and this new year of life. This week is reason for us all to celebrate someone who’s enchanted us with such enjoyable storytelling and visual artwork, both! 😺
