The first time I came across Trent Kaniuga was on youtube, I was still new to digital art and had no idea what I was doing. I got a cintiq companion to help me with my comic book art during the Until We Sleep days. That book would have taken so much longer had it not been for the tablet but I still didn’t know how to use it. Then through searching I found his tutorial on sketch book pro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjHeOmMVy8E linked in the description below . I would have been lost had it not been for this video. After watching Trent for a while I began to see him as a teacher. I never liked the term self taught because we don’t teach ourselves we learn from others , Formally taught would be the better term. Through his tutorials and in depth break downs I learned a wealth of knowledge from Trent Kaniuga. I wanted to make this video to show his progression from indy comic creator to one of the best youtube artists and even more as head of his own art house Aquatic Moon. Trent Kaniuga was raised in Indiana , at the age of 16 he self published his creator owned comic Creed. Early on Trent was very adept in stylization something he was known for in his titular title. This success opened the doors for other avenues in the art world. Briefly entering the fashion world working for the brand JNCO he would parlay this into concept art. Trent is well known now for his concept art sharing on Instagram the concept art that got him in to marvel for Ghost Rider. But the clouds of the Blizzard would soon consume Trent leading to a prosperous career at Blizzard Entertainment where he worked on Diablo 3 . He would find further success with games like League of Legends and Final Fight Street Wise. Today Trent has his own Art House called Aquatic moon here he has a stable of artists including himself work on AAA titles, Indy Video game titles and creator owned properties like Twilight Monk. I hope this brief video was entertaining, educational and inspirational. The whole point of these videos is to show my appreciation for these artists and also give the next generation a goal to reach for. Never stay stagnant always persevere and all good things will come. Trent was nice enough to give me his ok to this video. in the description below you can check out Aquatic Moon , Trent’s youtube channel and his gum road. Thank you for watching and as always don’t forget to keep it over 9000! take care Links / Sources: http://www.aquatic-moon.com/studio http://creedguy.blogspot.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/TrentKaniuga/videos https://gumroad.com/trentk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhMIkZ4rdEQ Music : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03eQsvb-CaQ by studio Nicktendo ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QiWjJRsAME
