Redpill me on Illya Kuvshinov. What's his end game?

>>2788970
To draw a mountain of cute girls to the already gigantic pile of drawings of cute girls

>>2788970
dont worry about it morty

This is probably bait anyways, but...
I don't see why you guys get so hung up about this guy.
Why do you think this one insignificant online artist is some sort of person to model your career after or pay that much attention to?
He found his niche and is exploiting his luck, while doing what he likes. Good on him, get over it.

sage & hide

>>2788970
Get out of here, stalker.

If he keeps doing the same, I'd have to label him as Aspergie.

>>2788970
Christ every single girl he draws has the same face.

I know chromatic aberration is the meme of the year but man that's really pushing it.
Mouth is literally fucking my eyes.

Did- .. did he recycle one of his own works?
I'm being memed right?

>>2789163
Nobody cares.

>>2789163
I thought it looked familiar.

>>2789167
I do, so you're wrong. If this is real it's fucking hilarious but I'm going to hold my breath for now until someone spoon feeds me.

>>2788970
BREAK THE CYCLE

PRACTICE STUDY DO SOMETHING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>2788970
I've looked him up after the outrage on /ic/ and I don't see why he gets so much attention either positively or negatively. There are bucketfuls of artists drawing cute portraits of girls and having success with it.

>>2788970
Better than 99% of /ic/

To make a select group of people on /ic/ so mad that they make these Ilya threads and then bump them to the post limit almost without fail with vindictive shitposting.

Frazetta did that once or twice too.

>>2789169
artists reusing their own works is more common than you think, dont think he is unique at that
spoiler: disney reused entire animation sequences for later movies

>>2789262
disagree. that only happens on tight schedule

>>2788970
just learn how to draw one face and draw it over and over and over and over...

>>2789405
Actually no it was company policy.

Not like the amount of work is comparable.

Did I miss anything? You faggots have the same argument every couple of days. Most of the above can apply to basically any of our myriad artist shit-flinging threads.

GO FUCKING WORK ON YOUR ART, YOU LAZY MOTHERFUCKER YOU.

>What's his end game?
Destroy art

>>2788990
I'm not mad or anything, i just find his work extremely boring. If you saw one of his pics, then you saw them all. It's not just about his style, it's composition, shading, colors, everything else.

If I was ilya I'd try and see with what my fanbase would let me get away with.

>>2788970
To draw what he likes and be able to support himself doing so.
What's so hard to understand?

If I could get rich doing what he does, I'd do the same too.

>>2789989
he's still better than 96.5% of /ic/

>>2793961
That's nothing to brag about.

>>2788970
his endgame is using even more chroma aberration until you feel like you have astigmatism and miophy

honest question. If Ilya is so shit, why is he followed by pros like Sparth?

>>2794014
Because they're shit too.

>>2794014
He's not shit. He's really talented. That's the only truth out of all the answers you will get here. People who say otherwise are either jealous or trolling. Any artist actually worth a shit can tell you that he has skill and the required attributes to be one of the more successful artists that many people here are lacking. If you can't go to his pages, look at his art, and understand that he is a talented artist, you're never going to make it anywhere in this field. Stick to being a backstage hobbyist who does art doodles from time to time, because you are simply not going to make it anywhere if you can't see the value in his work.

That said, most people here don't make art themselves, or they make either really unfortunate photo studies or middleschool tier doodle artwork. They're just here because it's a board on a popular Internet site where they have somewhat of an interest in the topic related to it. If you took all the absolute best talent from /ic/ you might have enough to make a small indie game, but it would likely fail due to people here being largely socially outcast and broken in many different ways, mostly mentally. They either don't understand talent, or simply can't see it past their own biases.

There's a lot more to this, but those are the basics. Yes, he is a talented artist.

>>2794026
>He's really talented.

He's nothing special and there are ton of much better artists to follow and get inspired by, and that aren't lazy fatasses that draws the same basic shit for years.

>>2794014
One you become popular, pros start following you. Just look at Noah.

>>2794026
>He's talented
>No really, if you really look at his art, you'll see he's really good
>If you don't think so you're jealous garbage

>There's a lot more to this, but those are the basics
Nice basics, it's as if they are actual logical.

His work gets boring after a while but he knows his foundations and has a following which gets him patreon bux. At the end of the day he's getting paid to do something he loves, and I applaud him for it.

I'm working towards a similar goal tbhfam so no h8 from me

He is talented beyond doubt.
These are his drawings when he was 11 to 12.

>i just find his work extremely boring
Okay, then why do you give it a second thought?

>>2795518
Bullshit
Trying too hard to build a virtuoso persona.

And if it's true it goes on to show he has barely progressed in more than 15 years.

>>2795631
This

>>2791802
HOW CAN HE GET AWAY WITH THIS

One more Kuvshinov's post? Really? He is kinda local idol? Every fucking week

>>2796026
He's this years Noah Bradley

>>2796631
>He's this years Noah Bradley

Red pill me on Noah Bradley - why has he dropped off the radar?

I'm guessing /ic/ thinks he's a talentless hack etc.

>>2794011
I have both, it is shit2

>>2796652
I think he's mostly stopped doing environment concept illustrations and is now just living off art for Magic, Magic related cons and his online class while he fucks his 9/10 gf all over the world. I know he was wanting to do that Sin of Man stuff. It started off as the type of art he was known for but I think it's moved now towards an 8bit game or something. I don't keep up with him all that much and only see the occasional new artwork for what I assume is his personal project.

>>2795631
>goes on to show he has barely progressed in more than 15 years.

He isn't pursuing fine art, he's doing stylized shit.

"Progress" becomes far more subjective past a certain point, that's a fact /ic/ constantly fails to realize. There are a lot of branching paths, some of which you inevitably won't approve of. Ilya could have become a human photocopier, or a realist painter, or a cartoonish animator. They're all "progress".

>made decent sketches at 11/12
>years later
>copies other artwork, add "stylish" filters and sameface. When he doesn't copy it looks like shit.

The only significant progress is his bank account.

>>2796834
hmm Noah seems to have deleted his facebook. Probably cause his gf broke up with him. He lives with his parents by the way.

>>2789989
>arguments are infinite loop pf same things just like ilya's drawings
pottery

>>2797070

lol what ? i really want this to be true, but i don't believe a word of it. noah made bank with his entrepreneurial approach to online classes and hardcore self promoting. why would he live with his parents?

>>2797198
Because his girlfriend left him
Surely she took all the money or left him with unsurmountable debt that ate away all his money.

>>2798761

where do i read more about this? why did they break up? i miss being part of all the drama (although only as consumer).

>>2799569
Noah's GF is a huge cunt.

So... yeah.

>>2799570
So what happened, exactly?

>>2799578

THIS!!! NAOOOOOO
