*edit: Wow it's a great feeling to wake up and see you got touched by the glorious hand of @curie! Thanks so much to everyone involved! You all are doing a great service for the platform. I actually need to stop procrastinating and join in on the curation trail. Will look into what that entails soon. Anyway I was able to get the timelapse online. I just went ahead and used youtube since I didn't want to make a second post with the same piece and dTube has had playback issues with the videos I've uploaded there. So thanks again everyone, and enjoy the timelapes!
I painted this today as a demo for digital painting class. It took about three hours. I was pretty excited because I actually managed to record the process with OBS only crashing a few times! Luckily I was vigilant and when it crashed I was able to stop before making any more progress.
Anyway, I successfully captured all the video. I'm not all that into watching people paint for three hours, so I didn't think you all would be either, so I wanted to speed up the footage to maybe around twelve minutes. After Effects tells me this is going to take four hours T_T but I just hit render and wait. Three and a half hours later After Effects crashes and here I am videoless, BUT, I do still have the painting and a gif so there's that. Would you guys even watch the video? I'm still going to put it up, probably tomorrow. Here's a close-up. When you're this close, the results of me hacking things up are visible, oops.

Also as promised, the process gif.
Hope you all enjoy! Let me know what you think in the comments and pray to the computer gods that I can render out this video without anymore crashes. Thanks for looking guys!
wow, she's beautiful! youre an amazing painter @midlet 👏👏👏 i suck in digital painting but youre an inspiration now 😌

Loving all the brush strokes :D. Let me guess, you did this in Photoshop? It's amazing that you can make it look so painterly.
She is a beautiful lady, midlet. I like her subtle sensuality.

You know...I thought about you when I was posting this. I thought, I'll disappoint @scrawly again >_< But I have an excuse because the computer I did this on was a work computer and it doesn't have Paintstorm, so get of my back will ya! ;p j/k of course. Thanks!

All of your work I've seen is pretty amazing.
I'm not good with sketches and drawing or digital art for that matter.
My wife is fairly decent with sketches, but she has a masters in ceramics.

Thanks @klumsyk, I'm finding that place where I can get the look I want with the brushes I have. I was always trying to get it to look a certain way and I'm starting to hone in on that.

Will do thanks. Wow and on the computer. Incredible. Music was a nice touch.
Have to ask who was the model? Or inspiration?
Love how you were able to bring out the power of the soul in this painting.
Very few artists can truly do that.

Excellent painting!
Try Camtasia, replaces OBS and AE. Never crashed on me, easier to use and you can record narration or music over the timelapse in a later pass if you like.

Thanks @stahlberg! Yea obs' biggest advantage was of course that it's free, but it's not worth the amount of time I waste at this point. I think I'll take your advice.
