Doré is definitely up there, but I'd go with John Singer Sargent

Well we can't predict the future. There may very well be a resurgence in public interest. Perhaps when people grow tired of photography and everything digital they will yearn again for things made by hand with expression in it.

And I think it's silly to chase fame. Chase beauty and authenticity in your art.

It's still possible to be successful doing oils. Terpning, Nerdrum, Situ and other contemporary realists sell their paintings for millions and get showered in awards.

Anyways, good taste with Kallela, he's a favourite of mine too.

I don't believe that classical art is dead. Most art schools still use classical techniques in their curriculum. Perhaps we'll get our own renaissance to battle post-modern fluffery.

Here's a question: why has surrealism taken such a hold of contemporary artists? Is it purely for aesthetics or something deeper?

>>2288973
>I don't believe that classical art is dead
It is essentially dead. Or more like it suffered a stroke and now can't talk properly. If you compare modern classical art programs they are not particularly close to ones of the past, and the general skill level is much much much lower.

No, nobody on here has heard of him, because he's just another one of those boring atelier drones who's entire career consists of drawing long pose studies of naked people. There are a million of those guys and they're all the same: so wrapped up in technical masturbation that they never advance beyond endless training.

Honestly, this seems pretty true. Proko is a pretty good example. Technically masterful as he is his actual creative endeavours are pretty sub par. Seems like when you've spent a decade hammering your brain with realism and perfection you can't break away from it when the time comes to actually make something novel.

So, what are the good artists right now?

Oh and in case you do not know what these are, they're usually called "paint and sips".

Basically, people who can't paint for crap pay to have an instructor lead them in painting a really simple painting while they get drunk.

It's kind of like paying to drink and paint with Bob Ross. Really popular with women in the 25-50 age group.

I think you have the wrong thread, friendo.

You're certainly on the way anon, your rendering is nice in some places and your character designs are creative enough.

However, at the risk of parroting the common sentiments of this board, I really think you need to go back and get a better handle on your drawing. There are are a lot of instances where your construction and anatomy have let you down with the finished products. Many areas look flat despite the rendering and end up with that polished turd look where everything is just slightly uncanny, perhaps because you lack some understanding of the primitive 3D shapes in perspective. I'd also like to see you push some more dynamic poses. I know character design usually calls for this sort of straight up and down composition, but believe me when I say that if you learn to draw the body from many angles and positions where you're forced to consider perspective this will lead to your more simple forms looking 100x better. I think your portfolio should always display more of a range of abilities.

Just my opinion, good luck.

>>2289016
To be honest your work comes across as very generic and the type of stuff that gives sci-fi a bad reputation (armor that doesn't cover boobs, big guns and glowing swords, meaningless designs etc).

A lot of your designs look the same. You use the same type of blocky made up sci-fi shapes in each one. It would be cool if you could develop more of a distinct shape language for each, or have their designs draw influence from existing things to make them more interesting than blocky metal shapes. None of them have much personality. How can you show who they are and what they do by the way they dress and the body posture they use? Think about who you want each character to be.

Also it's bad to have photo studies in your illustration section. It makes it look like you are trying to pass it off as your own creation when it is a study of someone else's work.

Might be a good idea to have your email more prominent (have it visible on every page) and get a more professional email. Your email right now sounds like something from middle school. Get firstnamelastname@gmail or something.

And here's a sketch from the artist's website, seems a bit underwhelming, he clearly lacks ability with the fundamentals, I've seen much better from here on /ic/ to be quite honest.

Is the way to win these kinds of awards just to keep piling in the detail?

Close up, so you see what I ean about the obsession with detail, this is a pretty common complaint of this award btw, several British newspapers have been critical of the judges' choice for such detailed and morose work.

Awards are usually pretty meaningless. History does not remember paintings or artists for the awards they won. I think it is better to do art that is true to yourself, and if it happens to please the judges then good for you, but you shouldn't change who you and your art are just to try to win their favour. Would you rather win an award because you pandered to their tastes or because you did something genuine and it was recognized?

>>2288761
Yeah, I do.

>>2288761
I'm not giving that one to you.

Post rare vilppus

clearly its just to fap. All the porn art on this board is fucking terrible. You can tell the artist just focuses on their shitty fetish while the anatomy, lighting, colors, and every other aspect of art is ignored.

Stop painting porn faggots. You are all awful at it.
