>Post drawings with god tier aesthethics.
I don't think you know what aesthetics means. It's just the study of beauty. You might as well just say "post good art" or "post art you like", aesthetics are already inherent in visual art.
carry on
>>2360941
this
>>2360943
Yeah I guess I just meant classy looking drawings with original elements to them as opposed to the generic well painted fantasy landscape or warrior I see posted here every day.
Anyways I'll go get some sleep now I'll post more tomorrow, keep posting pls
>>2360952
Great one
I've seen this IRL, it's a huuge painting, the red is very bright and stings the eyes, definitely one to see in a museum it leaves a lasting impression.
>>2360899
>>2360943
If you've been on this board for a while I think you should have noticed that the art which people believe to have 'god tier aesthetics' posted in this thread is very different from what you would get if you asked them to post art they like, so that shows that the two terms aren't synonymous as /ic/ is concerned. It really depends on how you see the relation between art and beauty man, which depends on how you answer the question of what constitutes good aesthetics and good art in the first place. I'd argue that something can have pleasing aesthetics without being good art and something can be good art without having pleasing aesthetics.
>>2360961
oh god no
>>2360961
So saturated and deviantart that it almost becomes great in a strange vaporwave way.
>>2360962
This painting could be good but the poor choice of colors and the unnecesary 3 point perspective and that building ruin it for me.

What I love about good movie backgrounds (Ghibli backgrounds in particular) is that they know their role as part of a greater whole. They don't try to be too in your face or draw your attention in the ways conceptart and commercial art in general tends to do, unless that's their purpose. Subtlety is a beautiful thing.
>>2360943
Plenty of art I like I don't like because it's really aesthetically pleasing.
There's definitely a crossover but I think OP's request stands separate from "post art you like"

Vehicles and enviroments drawn by belgian comic book artists always does it for me.
>>2361057
how do you even find such niche stuff?
>>2361062
Son, that's not even close to being "niche". Belgian comic book artists are very well known for their drawing skills and particular style.
>>2361021
The subject matter it portrays has significance to me.
>>2361076
i mean say i like that too, how do i look for it so i have hundred of images of that style?
>>2361083
What? Are you referring to the picture posted in >>2360997? Because the artist is in the filename, look him and his contemporaries up if you want similar art.
But what I meant in that post is that there is art I like for what it depicts, but that doesn't always mean it's depicted in a way that's exceptionally aesthetically pleasing.
Whereas, by contrast, I think a picture with really good aesthetics can be pleasing even if the subject matter isn't engaging. I don't particularly like fish but I really like the OP image, for example.
>>2361026
this fucking shit got old fast.
We get it. People like fables and james jean. WE can all stop copying that shit now.
Life drawings by another belgian artist, Virginie Augustin. Pretty jizz worthy if you ask me
Most of this guy's work, really
>>2361104
art like this and ESPECIALLY in graphic design I describe as "visual puns"
Where you just look at it and go "heh, that's clever"
>>2361026
holy fuck that looks good
>>2361133
and another james jean copycat is born.
Needs more audrey kawasaki in here. God knows she has been copied to death as well.
>>2361090
At first I though 'eh'
And then I looked again at what the octopus actually was
>>2361109
Spirou is one of the most representative comic book series of the belgian school, you could start there. It has a lot of cars and enviros in it. Also just google belgian comic books in general
I like the painterly animu aesthetic desu
>>2361094
i don't know what you're talking about, see >>2360901 , thats made by him too, he doed hid thing
>>2361094
have you actually like READ fables?
>>2361168
I think he's talking about the covers, not sure though I'd be impressed if interior comic art looked like that.
>>2361192
that's sexy
>>2361156
Nice patchi
>>2361168
>what is the cover art
have you actually like had a NON retarded thought?
>>2361165
colors, composition, and rendering style are all very similar to james jean before he went all artsy fartsy graphic designy.
Not talking about the subjects.
the most common thing copied from jean is the pink/purple wolf/tiger thing surrounded by design smoke. They are all just to familiar and similar to one another. There are always knock off artists. The Loish knock offs james jean,, the kawasaki knock offs, and Sam Web knock offs are some of the most common though.

When your rendering technique interferes with the painting then you know something is wrong.
Purely aesthetic painting and I think my favourite one. There's just something that draws me to it every time.

>>2361260
There's nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from artists you admire. They may have elements similar to a well known style, but if they're bringing something new to the table, what's the problem?

>>2361456
Im not that poster, and there really is no problem. But it really speaks to how distinct James Jean work is. Consider if artists in the music field did the same thing. Tons and tons of pop punk bands aping i dunno, greenday or something. It's not bad at all, but it's very hard to create and evolve a distinct voice (whether in music of in visual arts) that no one can call their own and yet imitates. It's a whole nother level above just being able to render gold and black fishes.

who is the illustrator?
>>2361579
Holy shit. I've never seen something so edgy. source?
I vote to have a thread like this put up as a sticky all the time, where everybody can post what they like
but we might need some rules about art discussions, like limit ourself to just asking for source or something, and not discussions on what one likes or dislikes
this might serve as a good place to find art we like (while scrolling over what we don't) as well as to see what kind of taste those which come here have
>>2361605
There's no real need for that, since it can just be a normal thread we have every now and then, as it's been in the past.
Stickies and generals are cancerous in any case. I die a little inside every time I look at the most active threads on /ic/ because usually 80% are the same shitty generals we've had for years now. The board culture that segregating different aspects of art into their own threads according to a single, unchanging formula has created is just stupid. People have created their own little subcommunities within /ic/ and as a result the moment the different groups come in contact with eachother they just point at the respective group and say 'go back where you belong', so there's no real discourse going on.
>>2361562
Is this a cringe thread now?
The further down I scroll down the worse it gets.
Images at the top ARE godtier though
>>2361622
I've been a lurker for more than a year and this is the first time I see suck a thread
and if you make a rule of not posting opinions, but just being allowed to post art and ask for source, you can stop the cancer before it grows
also suck a thread could help mature the board, ppl will not see just the art from their subcommunities, but art from different ppl with different taste. and they will not be able to bitch about it since the ''no opinions rule''
that will teach them to ignore what they don't like and move along

With an image created by a different artist before JJ was even famous. Do people realise that James Jean is massive cuck (literally) who stole all his ideas from the wapanese and marvelised it.
pls d/ic/ks learn your history. JJ does do not own the painterly flat render, smoke, overly composed messy drawings etc. Stop accusing everyone of being his derivative.

kno, knot yet. Lets 1st try to get yur eyes up to standard so u kan undurstand and appreciaate good aesthatics.
I could show you good examples, but what would be the point? You wouldn't know what to look for and wouldn't be able to understand it to appreciate it, even if you found it. So for now try to answer the question.
If you want to be enlightened you first have to be accept what is being taught.

Five seconds on google prove you wrong. You sounds like you took a class called Aesthetics and now think that's all it means.
The word can be used like OP intended. One can differentiate between a Art Deco aesthetic and a modern Anime aesthetic.
>pic related
>>2365837
so what you're saying is it comes down to stylistic preferences, ergo this is another "post art you like/ post your favorite art" thread? because OP already addressed this, and said this was not his intent.
>>2365843
The guy seem to be correcting OP on his use of the word aesthetics when OP was not wrong. But yes, OP's post would imply to post art that has aesthetics that one likes, which is subjective.

enlighten me specifically, at least.
What is the big secret?
You make it sound like good aesthetics are totally objective, and you can easily quantify them within a formula.
If you can't do that for me, then you're forcing me to assume that you'll sputter some bullshit that I can ultimately boil down to "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
No matter how many fancy words you wrap around it, I do not believe for a fucking second that you know, objectively and beyond all doubt, what makes a good composition with "god tier aesthetics"
Fuck off out of here with your collegiate sophistry. You don't know a damn thing, and you can't articulate a damn thing because you don't know how because you don't fucking know what you're on about.

If you were an actual competent person you would have seen that I was implying it to be an acquired taste, that you have to learn how to appreciate it firstly.
This whole "objective" thing is just you spouting off /ic/ nonsense because of some personal difficulty you have with learning new ideas about art. The hardest thing with arrogant anons like you is that you refuse to see art history as a core fundamental. You sit around consuming pretty pictures with no understanding of them, other than the superficial qualities. And when tasked with explaining those pretty pictures you fall on your face using cliche rhetoric suited for a pisshole like /ic/.
