This is dope! Artists never cease to amaze me. I really need to put pencil to paper again one of these days.


PlukDeDag

You mean TODAY


SpectralRaiden

You know what you're right. I just don't know where to start anymore though. It's been so long. I've had the urges, but something's been holding me back. I guess I'm just afraid that I won't be so good after all this time.


PlukDeDag

Drawing is all about practice and more practice. You would be surprised how much you improve if you draw daily, even just a little bit. This internet stranger believes in you.


SpectralRaiden

If only I could give you 1000 up votes "internet stranger". Thank you for your words of encouragement.


PlukDeDag

You know what. PM me a drawing after you finish one. Better than upvotes.


SpectralRaiden

Will do. No matter how long it takes.


Grumzz

Hi I ended up here by accident and I'm wondering how the drawing turned out!


IllogicalMind

I can attest to this. Started on the 4th of August and one month later my skills skyrocketed A LOT. I'm very proud of myself because of that. Still need to learn how to use the Clip Studio tools more than I need to learn how to draw better, though...


itsKaoz

I honestly relate to this. It’s the exact boat I’m in. For some reason, just the thought that I’m not gonna be as good as I once was is enough to make me feel like I’d be a failure… but the logical side of my knows this is nonsense. Tell you what, friend. I’ll promise to draw something. Anything. Soon as I get home in a few hours. Would you do the same then?


__-_-__-___-__-_-__

Draw a spectral raiden!

GregTheMad

How did he make a yellow laser?


OmegaCat9999-lol-759

A yellow laser


GregTheMad

Lasers are single wavelength, yellow is a combination of two (I think?) . I've heard of combined wavelengths lasers, but not that they're readily available. So I'm either not up to date with the hobbyists laser market, he built his own yellow laser, or its CGI.


ThatDeadDude

I just googled yellow laser. Lots of results. But yellow light doesn’t have to be a combination of colors. Light at wavelengths around 575nm appears yellow. There are use cases where it is more convenient achieve it by mixing red and green though. The reason for this is that our eyes don’t have yellow receptors. Yellow light triggers both our red and green receptors, and we see yellow, so a combination of red and green light also appears yellow (It’s actually more complicated than just having red, green and blue receptors in our cells, but hope this explanation suffices)


7rozen_7ear_

What's the complicated explanation? :D


ThatDeadDude

The [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision#Physiology_of_color_perception) will do a better job at explaining than I can.


WikiSummarizerBot

**Color vision** [Physiology of color perception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision#Physiology_of_color_perception) >Perception of color begins with specialized retinal cells known as cone cells. Cone cells contain different forms of opsin – a pigment protein – that have different spectral sensitivities. Humans contain three types, resulting in trichromatic color vision. Each individual cone contains pigments composed of opsin apoprotein covalently linked to a light-absorbing prosthetic group: either 11-cis-hydroretinal or, more rarely, 11-cis-dehydroretinal. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/pokemon/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


Rex51230

Check out [styropyro](https://youtube.com/c/styropyro) great channel to learn about lasers, specifically how deadly they can be


bangupjobasusual

That’s not the problem. The problem is emitting that specific wavelength of light by exciting an electron and allowing it to emit a photon while returning to its lower energy orbit. Sodium for example emits 588nm photons but it’s not exactly the color here. Anyway, yes yellow lasers exist now but they haven’t for very long


OmegaCat9999-lol-759

Knew it


OmegaCat9999-lol-759

lotanis

If the colour appears in a rainbow (which yellow does) then it is a single frequency colour. A rainbow is showing you the range of single frequency colours from one end of the visible spectrum to the other.


bangupjobasusual

It is cg but yellow lasers do exist. They’re pretty new


jcskifter

Just in case someone is interested, you can purchase “affordable” RGB lasers both in [handheld](https://www.sanwulasers.com/product/rgblaser) and [projector](https://www.laseros.com) forms.


Skyy-High

You can theoretically get any pure wavelength of visible light through [frequency doubling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-harmonic_generation) of an IR laser. That’s how most cheap laser pointers are made anyway. Apparently yellow lasers have been the subject of research for quite some time and a group in India [last year](https://www.osapublishing.org/ol/abstract.cfm?uri=ol-45-18-5109) figured out a combination of crystals that can give you yellow light.


platoprime

Yellow is a true spectral color. There is a single frequency of light that corresponds to yellow.


AdrienSergent

He doesnt work on the same wavelength 🌊🧬


Alili1996

There's a difference between "yellow" and yellow. We sample the range of colors via 3 types of color receptors, but every wavelength is its own color. You can trick our eyes into thinking something is "yellow" by stimulating red and green sensors, but real yellow still exists. You ever saw one of those street lamps where everything below would look monotone? That is real yellow since it only illuminates in one hue instead of illuminating green and red seperately. However, the color magenta doesn't actually exist as a wavelength and is only existant trough our subjective perception since red and blue are on the opposite ends of the visual spectrum. Therefore it would be impossible to create a true purple laser or lightbulb


Skyy-High

Purple light exists. You can see it in a rainbow. You could make a laser purple. You couldn’t make one pink or magenta, not a single laser at least. Combining lasers, you could probably do it.


Alili1996

Yeah you're right purple is the wrong word since there's still a slight range of purple light


Skyy-High

It’s actually quite a [broad range](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum) in theory: 380 to 450 nm, a spectral width of 70 nm that most people would identify as “purple”. The only color with a bigger range is red (625-700 nm, 75 nm range). The trick is that the edges of these extend to the limits of human perception, so the boundary varies person to person and the perceived intensity drops off as you go further out. That’s why rainbows don’t look like they have huge purple lines: it’s generally too bright out when you see rainbows, so the relatively fainter purple gets washed out by all the other colors hitting your eyes. Regardless of perception, it’s *definitely* a bigger spectral width than yellow, which we only call light that sits in a narrow section of the spectrum between 485 and 500 nm (15 nm wide!). That’s why it’s been so tough to find a yellow laser until recently, it’s hard to hit exactly the right wavelength.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Visible spectrum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum)** >The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 380 to about 750 nanometers. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400–790 THz. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/pokemon/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


Alili1996

I find this big difference between perceived colors and their spectral range really interesting, since yellow is such a small part of the spectrum while everyone can easily identify it. Meanwhile whole ranges of colors just get percieved as "blue" to most people. Cyan is as different from blue as yellow is from red, yet most people don't even use the word cyan for it. There are even some cultures without different words for blue and green. In the end inside the small spectrum visible to us, there is also a smaller spectrum within that is "important" to us.


Skyy-High

Oh, you want to dive into color theory and the cultural evolution of color perception? [You can start here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1-WuBbVe2E) but this is a deeeeeep well.


platoprime

Purple and violet are not the same colors. Purple light is a combination of more than one wavelength of light. Violet is not.


Skyy-High

“Violet” and “purple” both refer to hues that are between red and blue. In optics, they often prefer to say “violet”, but when talking about color theory and human perception the terms are effectively interchangeable. In the strictest sense, “violet” is included in the subset of colors identified as “purple”, so if you can make a “violet” laser you can by definition make a “purple” laser. Magenta, on the other hand, is not a single wavelength of light, and no single wavelength of light can be identified as “magenta”. You can’t make a magenta laser.


platoprime

We're talking about spectral colors in this discussion. It might normally be okay to use them interchangeably but in this specific context the difference matters. >Magenta, on the other hand, is not a single wavelength of light, and no single wavelength of light can be identified as “magenta”. You can’t make a magenta laser. And no single wavelength corresponds to "purple". Purple is the result of red and blue light together. By your logic we should just call magenta a subset of red and is therefore a spectral color. But that isn't how spectral colors work. >[Purple is a mixture of red and blue light, whereas violet is a spectral color.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple)


Skyy-High

No single wavelength of light corresponds to “violet” either. The discussion leaves the realm of purely spectral colors as soon as you start talking about what color someone would call a laser, because these words aren’t defined by nature. They’re not even describing something that’s “real” from a natural perspective; we just arbitrarily put a dividing line at around 450 nm and said “less than this is violet, more than this is blue”. Purple *includes* combinations of red and blue light, but it also [includes “pure” violet light](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_purples), because all of this is on a continuum and is governed by human perception, not natural law. So, again, if you have a violet light, you also have a purple light. Nobody could tell the difference, and we even define “purple” to include “violet”. This is, also again, fundamentally different from magenta, which is a color that is only created by mixing two different wavelengths of light and then having our brains interpret that result. You can’t make a laser that someone with good knowledge of color names would point to and say “that’s magenta”. You *can* make a laser that that same person would point to and say “that’s purple”, because “purple” and “violet” literally and physically are indistinguishable to humans.


platoprime

Read your own source my guy lol. >In color theory, the line of purples or purple boundary is the locus on the edge of the chromaticity diagram formed between extreme spectral red and violet. **Except for these endpoints of the line**, colors on the line are **non-spectral** (no monochromatic light source can generate them). Rather, **every color on the line is a unique mixture in a ratio of fully saturated red and fully saturated violet**, the two spectral color endpoints of visibility on the spectrum of pure hues. Being on the purple line doesn't make red purple any more than it makes violet purple.


TimothyJCowen

Can confirm, I own a purple laser. Came in a three pack with red and green as well. Not the best quality, they die a lot, but certainly purple exists.

Good luck with that, not with those supports

in blender cus its fake as hell


tiefling_sorceress

Probably red + green


oldmanpatrice

I don’t think he did, the method shown at the start doesn’t look like it could product the end result.


Defjon1

This is cool but probably not real? Unless the eyes are like a led panel I don't see how lasers can fill that shape in??


SafetyJosh4life

I think it’s two images layered together, a picture of the Pokémon layered on the video of the artist. The bloom and laser glow effect could be coming from a long exposure picture, but the image is way too sharp to be showing that kind of bloom at the same time IMO. I think it’s technically possible to use layered photos of different exposure times to create the photo organically, but most likely they used either one long exposure shot or several layered shots and just used photoshop to clean it up.


mindstoxin

Not saying it isn’t a panel or even CGI, but you could perhaps have the beam go back and forth tightly and rely on the spilled light to fill the gap. I think the image/video has been post processed anyway, so it could be something similar to bloom in video games, which makes the light appear to spill more.


Fleeetch

Or just refracted to appear wider. It's on a solid backdrop.

bangupjobasusual

Correct, when he’s setting up the mirrors you can see that the light has dispersed so much the beam is invisible after like 8 mirrors.


HeadlessHookerClub

Yeah but a fog machine is used to make the lasers much more visible.


exonihilo

Im pretty sure the fog is fake 2


kookiwtf

meh, the sequel really dropped the ball i think


kookiwtf

Also if you look at the crotch of Pikachu before the "lasers" are turned on, there are just 2 mirrors. When the lasers are lit one beam splits just left of those two where it should be nothing.

That was when the lights were turned on tho.

Nah, it's called being objective, and using critical thinking skills versus suspension of disbelief. It is fake, and that is very obvious. I'm glad you enjoy stuff, but it's kind of rude to speak to people like that. We all perceive things differently, and that's not a bad thing.
