  • Last touches and effects...... Those may seem obvious to you but I can't be the only one who would love to see a whole video on your "finish."
  • @decoydesignz290
    The whole piece was created in front of me and I still have no idea how it was done, this is stunning :O Do you have a tutorial of any skills that you frequently use? Things like cutting out backgrounds or manipulation of overlaid images like the smoke you used on the trees.
  • These kinda videos are inspiring me to create something EPIC! Your creativity and imagination makes your creation outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
  • @mitayoonash8258
    My fav photobashing/photomanipulator with the best skills i have ever seen, this is literally the type of stuff that i wanna learn but i am actually too lazy to even open photoshop, you even explain everything that you do and the idea behind it, its crazy. We trully appreciate your work broda!
  • @kyleperon4824
    Really Impressed with your level of detail. It’s not easy to get lighting, atmosphere and cast light correct. You do an amazing job.
  • Your photoshop skills are absolutley astonishing! You've restored to this great gallery of the software. A walking work of art. Vintage, beyond valuation, beyond forgery or imitation. Perfected the touch and tease of the holy grail of finesse.
  • Thanks, PhaseRunner! For teaching us your incredible mesmerizing tips and trick in compositing. Man! I don't have words for, how much we're grateful to you. You're simply fantastic!
  • Loved the concept, execution, and the video walkthrough. I make a very different style of art but I'm in awe of your work and it's helping me see how to better execute some of my ideas.
  • Benny has these more realistic photos that look like they could be shot in real life, but you have a unique touch that makes them look like something that nobody else can do
  • @YelleHughes
    Wow! Your attention down to the smallest detail is amazing. I'm trying my best to learn and in my head, I can think of some awesome images. But when I have them sitting in front of me on my screen, I just go blank, lol. Thank you so much for showing me how your work. It really helps me focus and tells me that if I keep going, I'll achieve what I'm trying to achieve.
  • @computer__eyez
    Wow 😮 What’s beautiful in all this, the process, of the expression… explained. Thank you for mastering your craft and then… giving it back to us. Have you considered selling courses teaching more complex concepts? lighting, perspective, shadows and maybe teach us exercises we can do daily to further hone these nuanced concepts.
  • @Mr23Design
    Congrats my friend! Happy to hear your explains trough the video!
  • Yes, another episode of GuideRunner I loved the idea of ​​being after the dragon attack
  • @themusicritic
    I love how you provided narrations! Can you do more of that for your next videos? It's so helpful to know your thought process when creating your art.
  • @joe-ek1se
    Incredible composition, I love how you created your own knight, awesome stuff!
  • @ZephrusPrime
    I love how you built up the green and blue colors for the atmospherics and lighting!
  • @Uyresoul
    Fantastic once again. Excellent tips from an obvious pro. Keep climbing!
  • @ArtsyStudio
    Everyone is a gangsta until the phase runner starts putting images together. the way you put that armour on his body was amazing loved it ❤❤
  • @---Vi---
