‘Coolest by a mile’: Digital illustrator’s artwork with seemingly endless zoom-in wows netizens

The artwork by a digital illustrator, who goes by the name Vaskange (@Vaskange), starts off with a simple picture that shows an artist working on a drawing. However as one zooms into the small image of a polaroid seen within the same picture, another emerges. This keeps happening as the camera keeps zooming in on one detail in a portrait to another detail in the next.

this is incredible but also stressed me out so badly, just imagining how long this took and how much brainpower it was to think about all of these ideas .. the deeper you go into it

It blows me away and I got goosebumps 😅 Such a great work! And my first thought after watching was also with what resolution is that possible, because I didn’t know, that with vectors is such a style also achievable. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent hard work. Gotta say the obvious, given the explosion of such artworks, after the 4th zoom, users lose interest since the novelty factor wanes and then it is just like looking at picture after picture.

And the entire display, which lasts a minute and 15 seconds, has gathered over 16.6 million views so far.

The sheer detailing in the digital artwork has impressed many netizens. In a tweet, Vaskange mentioned that their work was made on an iOS app called Endless Paper.

Commenting on the video, a Twitter user wrote, “Ok this is absolutely the coolest thing I’ve seen today by a mile. Wow”. Another person wrote, “It blows me away and I got goosebumps Such a great work! And my first thought after watching was also with what resolution is that possible because I didn’t know, that with vectors is such a style also achievable. Thank you for sharing!”.

The now viral artwork was made using vector graphics technology that allows one to make detailed high-quality artwork in any size without compromising the quality of the artwork. Unlike pixel-based art, vector graphics do not need large file sizes.
