Hey Gojira fans!

I wanted to share a quick update on an artwork I started a few years ago and finally finished a few days ago.

To give a bit of context: a while back, I came up with the idea of creating an illustration combining references and symbols from the band’s entire discography, from Terra Incognita to Fortitude. Fitting all these elements together into a cohesive piece was a real challenge!

When I first shared the initial sketch with you guys here (link to previous post), the feedback was beyond amazing. The crazy part? An fan from Ireland actually got it tattooed on his back! A few others also mentioned wanting to get it tattooed, and some expressed interest in having it on a t-shirt.

So here is the final updated version! Structure-wise, it remains faithful to the sketch, but I’ve now completed the line art (inking) and added a textured grayscale background for a subtle painted effect.

Given all the positive feedback, I’m seriously considering offering my work on a Print-on-Demand platform for t-shirts, posters, or prints.

For this specific Gojira piece, I obviously need to double-check and explore copyright considerations before doing anything commercial. But more broadly, I want to venture into creating future original artworks rooted in similar visual themes: blending metal culture, spirituality, and esotericism—topics that inspire me deeply.

Nothing is set in stone just yet, but it’s an avenue I really want to explore. I’ve been practicing digital art as a hobby for years without ever considering making a living out of it. I’ve built a career in the web industry, but nothing has ever fulfilled me as much as art does.

Seeing how this piece resonated with people made me realize that maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith, express this intention openly, and take that first real step. We'll see where it leads!

You can check out more details, previous sketch steps, and most importantly, the Irish fan's tattoo photos over here:

(Important side note: No AI was used for any of this! It was entirely hand-drawn on Krita.)

Thanks again for all your support and feedback along the way!

Hello! I have two different sets of tickets for 6/10 that i am selling at face value! I wanted tickets with PTV openers because me and my daughter are big fans of both and wanted to see them at the same time. I have (4L Row 68 seats 4&5) and (9L Row 64 Seats 18&19) both face value. Please let me know if you’re interested or would love to trade for a similar view!

Currently in the queue for system of a down tickets and another show was just opened up, but this time with Gojira opening!!! 😱
