Do your paintings lack intrigue or a compelling story?

Would you like to take your art to the next level and create amazing visual stories that capture your audience?

To learn how to build an immersive world with your art?

‍

It’s time for you to learn how to create awesome stories with your art, from sketches to finished paintings!

I’m Adrian Virlan, and I’m a concept artist for games, movies, board games – you name it! I’ve been doing this stuff for years and years and I love every second of being a professional artist.

I’ve done a lot of things wrong when it comes to creating awesome art, but also a lot of things right! Here are a couple of my older concepts:

One of the main things I found was this: what attracted people to my art wasn’t the details, the colors or anything like that – it was the STORIES!

Storytelling is one of the oldest and most powerful art forms in human culture. Visual artists have an incredible power to communicate complex and compelling narratives with a single still image.

As a visual artist, you are probably struggling to get your work noticed, to keep people engaged and interested in your artwork beyond a simple “like” on a post.

‍

Perhaps you’ve taken a shot at landscape painting or even character art, but you feel that something is still missing – something that gives it depth, and substance.

But what exactly could that be? Many artists don’t know exactly how to do this.

That’s where creating stories comes in. Every artist should learn how to tell stories with their art!

‍

A story is the soul of your artwork. It enhances the entire experience for yourself and your audience, connecting them to the realm you conjured through your art.

To put it simply – it gives your art life.

That’s why I put together this course for you to really take your storytelling skills to the next level, and learn a bunch of useful painting techniques in the process.

We’ll be creating a bunch of great paintings from scratch, and I’ll be your guide through this unique digital painting course!

From 0 to 6 Figures
- A Case Study

One of the highlights of this course is our case study on how we took an anonymous side project from scratch, to earning 6-figures in less a year.

In that year alone, our tracks generated over $140,000 in revenue, without any marketing or really a lot of effort.

No marketing, no existing names attached, no extreme hours put in …

‍Simply focusing on quality music, and staying true to the 7 pillar framework we break down in these videos. We’ll also break down all the best performers and dissect what they have in common, look at the issues with the least successful, and show you the most important takeaways.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I get access to my course?

How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this content for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.

What do I need in order to take this course?

You can get started with very little! However, all of our courses require a computer and internet connection to access, and some software and/or hardware. For our Music courses, you'll need a DAW (like Ableton, Cubase, Logic, FL Studio or Studio One), and a computer powerful enough to handle these programs.

‍

For our Design courses a drawing tablet is required. Anything beyond these basics is pretty much up to how much one wants to invest into the gear and software.

What if I'm not happy?

We have a very strict policy that we only want happy students. That's why we give you 21 days to try out all the courses, completely risk free. If for ANY reason you're not happy during this period, simply let us know and we'll give you every penny back, no questions asked. We're a platform by creatives for creatives, and if we can't provide tremendous value to you, we don't want your money.

Will I get feedback on my work?
