Odd request but anyone got any of blacksmiths forging?

Dude you didn't find out some secret technique that only Kron knew of. People have been doing shitty photo paintovers using the median filter and other crap for pretty much as long as Photoshop exists. The point is that Kron's work doesn't actually look like that at all. You didn't even get the fucking chromatic abberation to look remotely like how he does it.

I don't even like his work, but come on, ANYONE can instantly tell yours is a photo with a bunch of filters on top, Kron's work actually looks hand-painted and if he doesn't paint it by hand, then he must put in A LOT of work forging it for the PSD files and process videos he sends to his patreons. Not only that, but then he also does a line drawing, block in and rendering just to post the step-by-steps on his tumblr. At which point it'd be far less effort to just do it like that from the very beginning.
