imagine being this bitter kek

>>6577497
I don't get it
It's a great photorealisitc art. What about it

Great art
Bad composition
There's no subject
Too much white cape
Eyes immediately goes to the black dude because he stands out against the white space
Then you struggle to see other characters because they blend too well with each other's colors

Unless this is a cropped piece and there's more to see

>>6577499
>>6577501
I agree, anons. It's a beautiful breathtaking renaissance painting!

>>6577497
Art history courses in 50 years are gonna be such a mess. What is there even to reflect on from the past 30 years. Pathetic.

>>6577497
>niger
this is why i gave up on western art

>>6577505
Banksy's tripe

It looks so flat, the figures in the background look like they are on the same plane as the figures in the foreground.

>>6577511
This is what especially drives me mad about calling it a "renaissance painting" nigga where is the perspective???

>>6577503

>>6577517
Oh god no.
That's even worse.
Thanks to the blue green light, it's now even harder to look at.
Can't focus between the black dude and the light.
Let alone the other dudes

>>6577497
It's a perfectly boring composition, no matter how you look at it, there's nothing exciting about it, just a couple of photorealistic crap but it says absolutely nothing.

>>6577508
I'm more bothered by the zoomer haircuts.

These are the same people who think that marvel capeshit is on par with the Iliad and the Odyssey

>>6577497
>>6577517
better than 99% of everyone who ever posted on /ic/.

>>6577530
It’s the assumed importance of whatever’s happening while you’re alive. That whatever’s being made now must by the law of averages be as good as what was being made all throughout history. It’s an optimists counter to entropy. That were meant to believe Iron Man 2 must somehow have the same artistic merit as Othello. Or that Bob Ross must somehow fit into art history on the merits of his art, like you can put him beside Shishkin as a great landscape painter because you remember his PBS show. Never forget that everything is getting worse.

>>6577556
The sad thing is history is written by the victors, so we’ll teach children about Bob Ross alongside Shishkin just because millennials will be writing the next chapter of art history, and what is worth remembering.

I dunno, uhm... there's a nigger in it?

>>6577497
why does the elephant have a left arm coming out of its right side?

>>6577586
found the beglet

>>6577586
it's coming out of its left side

>>6577586
Yeah I thought it looked weird too. It's his left arm stretched out behind him. The armor covers his back. Looks awkward - not that I could do nearly as well in all honesty.

>>6577497
better than 100% of IA art because we can see the hands

>>6577517
shitty armor design, boring lighting, ugly colors, and gross cloth folds aside, looks good.

oh it's jason rainville, he's always had a certain quality that makes his work look like amateur/pro at the same time. maxed rendering skills, but ends up making it look like a bunch of cosplayers or something? hard to explain, anyone else feel something like this?

>>6577517
The artist is definitely technically skilled, but doesn't seem to be thinking about colors or composition or whatever.
He just draws things happening, and draws it well.

>>6577517
actual full image here(though low res)
Comp looks much better like this. hate the blue/green glow though.

>>6577517
i find mtg art technically impressive, but rather boring 99% of the time
But to be fair, the work is supposed to fill the purpose of illustrating a card.
The traditional painterly artstyle is just mtg brand recognition at this point
Also
>hand holding the shield is fucked up
>barely any expression beyond neutral for people in a battle
>too busy and cluttered makes you wonder if it will be readable on a card
It's impressive to normies by virtue of being technically rendered well
>>6577956
looks much more readable now.

>>6577497
>nig in the otherwise ok painting
exactly like a shit smear

I hate redditors so fucking much it's unreal

>>6577497

>perfection

both the artist and you need to work on your shit taste

>>6577517
Terrible designs. Looks like a Marvel film.

it makes sense that they would say this because these are the same kinds of people who see renaissance art as being the same as fan art.

Excellent technique, dogshit designs, fantasy is supposed to look awe-inspiring, beautiful and terrifying, not vomit-inducing, ugly and random.

>>6577497
the hairstyle will age like milk

Everybody ITT, please provide a sample of your work

>>6578469
sure, why not.

>>6578469

>>6578408
>>6577521
>>6577511

None of you can draw this well so stay quiet.

>>6578477
Why? People can develop taste before they have the skills to execute said taste.

>>6577497
>on some 16th century Ita church
The state of mainstream social media

>>6578479
Would you take advice from a seasoned professional on how to draw or from some guy who just recently read "fun with pencil"

>>6578507
a seasoned professional of course. Why? If you can't see the problems with the piece, that's a you problem.

>>6578477
You are right, anon. How could I be so blind?

I love cyberpunk Puerto Ricans dressed as Saint Seiya knights now!

>>6577497
And congratz

>>6577497
I don't get why are you bitter. I would be happy to be able to paint like that.

>>6578587
It's because you could actually paint like a renaissance painting, and get the same comments from your audience. Non artists or begs don't see how far this is from actual renaissance artwork, it all looks the same to them.
>>6578556
kek

>>6577556
Funny thing is, Shakespeare wasn't meant to be deep. He was the HBO of his time appealing to both rich and poor.

>>6577503
>>6577942
>le composition
post examples of "good" composition or explain precisely why that art has bad composition.

>>6578620
loomis is disappointed

>>6578659
Here. See the op image has a lot going on and looked cramped, even cropped... Nothing felt very intentional about the placement of figures and shapes. Turns out it is cropped!
The full thing is not a bad composition. Few shapes look a bit too chaotic, I'd have made the capes flow more smoothly, to contrast the chaos of battle.
And made them more graphic and less wrinkled. It looks like he flung some sheets around, photographed them, and stuck to the photos instead of reimagining them to fit the comp better.
>>6577956
Here is a real good composition.
>>6578472

Would be a fine painting if not for a random shit stain.

>>6577497
>meanwhile the actual renaissance paintings

I would prefer to look at OP pic any day. Especially considering that most renaissance art is the same shit christian crap.

>>6578700
Burn in hell

>>6578620
>actual renaissance artwork

You mean this, right?

>>6578704
You enjoy watching naked painted kids that much, you creep?

>>6577508
G...go away chud!

>>6578700
They were probably thinking of baroque. the non-initiated seem to use renaissance as a sort of catch all term, from 1400s to 1700s

>>6578714
No, I mean the best.

>>6578472
>good comp
>nice story telling
>most colors are alright

>pre-loomis faces
>no dynamics whatsoever
>material rendering anywhere but the shields is dogshit

Wow anon, it's almost like most artists are good at certain fundies but suck at others..
Who'da thunk, huh?

>>6578477
what do you call drawing well? specific, because many here confuse drawing well with artistic styles, some like animu, others like photorealism, isometry, abstract, etc. all stupid fans who think their favorite style is to draw well.

>>6578477
it's fucking crap, looks like boring photobashing, is that good for you? fuck you

>>6578734
The photo doesn't do it justice.

>>6578756

no.

>>6579498
>Leddit is... LE BAD!

>>6578659
>post examples of "good" composition
Would this suffice?
It's every bit as chaotic as OP pic but each character can stand out on their own.
Colors are contrasting and the poses are ironically guiding the viewer

Spearman says you need to focus on the grenadier,
Horse guides you down
And then the poor lad below

The artist is guiding you properly.
He did not just cram multiple side poses pointing at nothing.
He wants your eyes to follow a set path

>>6577517
>lasers on the back of his shield
Why?

>>6579504
It is

>>6579859
>ermm.. double U T F guys, why is that man glowing..?

>>6577497
The taste of those people...

>>6579750

>>6579750
It's literally following the same exact non-sensical composition rules you think makes or breaks a piece lmao, atleast be the tiniest bit aware of your pretentious /beg/ flailing.

>>6579899
is this an example of "trolling with stupidity" technique?

>>6578728
This.

It's not like there were no instances of artworks depicting dramatic combat scenes with warriors making serpentine postures during the Renaissance (pic related is a well-known example, fittingly copied by Rubens), but Baroque artists really pushed the envelope in terms of dynamism.

>>6577497
could do with a bit of saturation and lighting

>>6577517
This would look a lot better with some historical armor and weapons. No need to come up with garbage designs when you can just steal good ones from the past. But I guess this is the fault of the art directors. Design of the enemies sucks too.

>>6578472
Technically good, visually 40 times more boring than op

>>6581044
Why?

>>6581093
Here's a scan of it from print, if you thought it was dull colors or something.

>>6577497
American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows and fantasizing about nigger d*ck. They worship black retarded gorilla niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Niel deGrasse Tyson while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger d*ck instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers.

>>6581124
Obsessed lmao

>>6581124
>police force disproportionately filled with niggers

>disproportionately

>filled

Lost me right there.

Moden WoP painters are still better

>>6581164
Like how the upper body is clearly just a grown adult male torso shrunk down to fit on a kid lmao

>>6581096
It looks great stop listening to faggots.

You people are pathetic. Instead of trying to push someone up, you tear them down. Woman behavior

>>6581176
>upper body is clearly just a grown adult male torso shrunk down to fit on a kid
he doesn't know...

>>6578728
still more soulful than mtg cards

>>6581243
Yes, that could go unsaid... but now you've gone and said it! you ninny!

>>6581124
that would make a great copy-pasta

blacks simply are not appealing to look at
a very unaesthetic race with weird proportions
just not a fan at all, hard to even consume most mediate these days because not only are they being shoehorned into everything they usually are designed to look like new york lesbians. fucking disgusting.

>>6582823
Your high school crush would disagree with that bro

>>6581096
its beautiful

>>6582825
i dont get it

>>6581193
This thread is filled with men stop passing the buck faggot.

>>6582823
There are some esthetic looking negros, mainly from east Africa. America pretty much imported the ugliest ones.

>>6582823
This is what faggots post before going back to the BLACKED thread on /trash/

>>6581124
Based.

>>6577517
All that effort just for capeshit?

>>6583664
to be fair alexander was cape shit for the greeks

>>6583669
That's capekino to you Farouk

>>6583008
Believe it or not there are people who exist without debilitating porn addictions that make them immediately think about disgusting fetish shit all the time. Living in your mind must be fucking hell if the first thing you think about when blacks are mentioned are their dicks you disgusting fucking reprobate seriously get help dude
