Art trademark: From what I’ve seen over the years, I’d say it’s both the unique portrayal of how you draw faces, especially the nose. Another is the use of muted tones even when vibrant colors are used. Like a vintage comic book

Ahh thank you so much! I've been told often that the way I draw noses is rather identifying to my art style! Always flattered to hear that lol; I've been looking at some other artists' ways of drawing faces and I always flip flop between addin the lil facial texture scratches...

100 - Sleep Token

The Summoning

(Take Me Back To Eden, 2023)

The meteoric rise of Sleep Token caught us all by surprise. At the start of 2023, the mysterious masked band were one of the metal underground's buzziest names. Led by enigmatic vocalist Vessel, they were a band to watch, for sure, but firmly attracted the niche passion of a cult following.

Then came the song that would change everything. On consecutive days in early January, the band released two singles from their third album, Take Me Back To Eden: the burning, crashing Chokehold, followed by The Summoning - and it was the latter track that would turn them into an Earth-conquering, expectation-shattering phenomenon.

Veering between depraved tech metal, soulful vocals and shimmering electronics, an enormous, hymnal chorus gave way to an Earth-shifting breakdown and screams. Intricate and groove heavy, The Surmoning was more like three songs seamlessly crafted into one genre-fluid modern masterpiece. And it still had its trump card to play: a bendy, thirst-trap, funk outro that went viral on TikTok, turning the internet intoalusty Take1 puddle. Suddenly, Sleep Token were the most talked-about band on the planet.

"THERE ARE HINTS OF EARLY SLIPKNOT THERE."

COREY TAYLOR

"It took me three listens of [The Sumroning] to realise that when they do that whole psychedelic section at the end, that it's actually the same chorus as it was before, only in a completely different way," Evanescence's Amy Lee told Revolver. "And I love it even more that. I thought they just went a whole new direction and wrote a new part, and then I was like, 'Wait, that's the same...but not at all'."

Sleep Token weren't the most obvious choice for a commercial breakthrough. The success of The Summoning, an unconventional, seven-minute, brutal shapeshifter, bucks just about every music industry trend there is.

"It's going to a lot of different places, and I think there isn't any other band out there right now that's able to do that," Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford said earlier this year.

The Summoning set a chain reaction in motion that was unprecedented in modern metal. In just a few weeks, the band saw their Spotify figures jump from the thousands into the millions. To date, the track has been streamed more than 123 million times on Spotify and 19 million on YouTube. On release, Take Me Back To Eden went straight in at No.3 in the UK and was the most streamed metal album of 2023. When the band announced a show at Wembley Arena, tickets sold out in 10 minutes.

Earlier this year, they left the metal-heavy roster of Spinefarm Records for RCA, the home of mainstream megastars Justin Timberlake and rapper Doja Cat.

"In heavy music, or even in just rock, even in the last decade or 15 years, there's so few stories of bands ever breaking through," says Health bassist and producer, John Famiglietti, who supported the band at Wembley and sees Sleep Token's success as proof metal still can resonate on a massive scale. "This is one of the few times I've seen a band go from a fucking club to an arena in six months. And I don't know the last time that happened."

It's worth pointing out that in the social media era where celebrities and artists are more accessible than ever, Sleep Token have achieved all of this on their own terms. To date, they've barely done any press, while their masked mystique is all part of the allure. Last year, fans reacted with outrage when bassist III's identity and birth certificate were allegedly leaked online, seemingly leading to a decision to wipe the band's Instagram.

"There are hints of early Slipknot there," Knot vocalist Corey Taylor told The Allison Hagendorf Show in 2023, thinking back to the early internet days before Slipknot removed their masks. "At first, we were like, 'Nope. You get nothing. This is what you get, you figure it out. We'll let the music speak for ourselves.

Today, Sleep Token are being mentioned in the same breath as potential future Download headliners Ghost, Gojira, and Architects. The only difference? Sleep Token have managed to ascend to the same level as those bands in a fraction of the time. Metal needs new superstars who will push things forward, innovate and keep the scene relevant - and with Sleep Token we have a band we can believe in. DL

Liko-oh!

Making-of under the cut

As soon as I thought that "this very sequence is reminding me of the Yugi-oh opening", I had to try gif-ing it, as well as try and synch-up the opening to a yugi-oh opening theme. (This would be my first fanvid for the pokémon horizon anime.)

And, so, along the fanvid, as I had set to do, I made a first gif of the sequence, but a somewhat "regular size one" (i.e. 360x202 pixels) So, for reference : Plain link to the upload of this "first take" gif : https://www.zupimages.net/up/24/15/73iz.gif

Now, as I go with sharing a few of my poké-horizons gifs, I may as well try redoing + refining this favorite gif of "Liko-oh!" -at 540 pixels wide and still moderately light (i.e. under 5Mo)- … And, so, this is how I set to do the gif for this post.

I should note that, to, again, keep the file-size under 5Mo, a) I removed the "quasi-double" frames, that visually look the same as the ones right after them, doubling the time this following frame stay on screen. (because, naturally, less images means smaller file.) b) I used, as usual, custom-palettes, carefully colour-picked from the frames, to then convert the frames to indexed colours with it, without filters in the palletization process. (as both provide a really lower file-size than when using automatic-built palettes or filtering the way frames are palletized.)

Also, I tackled picking the significant palette, through a different angle than for the original gif, iterating from my remarks, noted-down, along the making of the "first take" original gif. (Overall, it mostly consisted in : balancing a bit more toward transcribing the end-point lights, trading up, for that, some gradient and some details, on Liko and her pendant, in the earlier parts of the sequence.)

… All in all, in the end, I think it is fine to share. I hope you enjoy gazing at it.

Thanks for reading up to here and : For practicality : plain link to an upload of this "liko_oh540.gif" : https://www.zupimages.net/up/24/30/dw92.gif Also, ultimately, a link to the "likooh_take2" 360pix wide gif : https://www.zupimages.net/up/24/30/twdd.gif … In the end : This one turned out to be quite a nice retake, and even more-so at the take1's 360pix wide scale !
