His rendering is kinda nuts, but a lot of his paintings are honestly pretty ugly. I think the few landscapes I've seen him do are my favorites.

>>2859208
Just because she isn't in a contrappost pose doesn't mean she is stiff, her shoulders a pretty relaxed.

>>2859222your first sentence makes zero sense and her mechanical index finger is almost as longer as her face so if anything it might be too big

Holy fuck guys, it's funny how many posts I see where you guys think your being smart but really you aren't fooling anyone and all I read is, I'm not good at art so I'm going to make up for it by pretending I know the subject.

Nice projection there, you illiterate faggot.

>>2859265
I can admit I'm not that good but I'm not the one who tries to bring down professionals to make myself feel better.

The fact that you resorted to calling me a faggot means I struck a nerve.

>>2859151
i wonder how many months this took.

>>2859267
No, you're just a retard who's using idiotic stereotypes to try to explain things you're too stupid to undertand.

Your argument is basically the same as beliebers use if you criticize Justin Bieber.
"If you don't like Justin Bieber, you're just jealous and wish you could be like him."

>>2859291
Your just mad because you suck man and you are trying to take it out on everyone.

Your briber analogy doesn't apply because I don't care if you like Ruan or not, but trying support your distaste with false claims to give your opinion worth just makes you look thirsty and gives away your novice.

But you can keep calling me names if that helps you like your drawings better.

>>2859151
Is this old? Looks like shit compared to his Legend of the Cryptids armor dudes.

>>2859308
yeah i was about to say his edge control took a nose dive

>>2859151
Anyone got an album of hq Ruan Jia works?

>>2859303
What's it like to have the mentality of a young teenage girl, who gets upset when people disagree with her? You really are a belieber to the very core of your infantile being.

I don't even dislike Ruan Jia. I'm a fan of rendering, and he's one of very few contemporary digital artists who's managed to pull of a unique style. However, in this particular picture, I think he fucked up the proportions.

But you can't deal with that, can you? If anyone criticizes someone you're a fan of, you automatically go for the ad hominem attacks. You're basically the worst kind of delusional fanboy, and people like you are a festering cancer that just rot away any community you attach yourself to.

>>2859249

You sure did.

>>2859342
I don't know, what is it like anon? You are the one who is upset for being disagreed with, as soon as I called you guys out you resorted to name calling.

Because I'm not playing along with your guys delusion I must just be a fan right? It's the industry who is wrong and doesn't know real art like you guys right? If they opened their eyes you all might get discovered right?

>>2859339
kek was it really worth deleting your post to make that tiny change

>>2859359
>You are the one who is upset for being disagreed with.
How retarded are you to try to change the narrative? People can just look at your post. It's right up there.
This has nothing to do with disagreeing about the picture. I mentioned what I thought was wrong with the picture, and you were personally offended by it and started acting like a generic belieber. You faggots are a staple on /ic/, and every time someone criticizes a popular artist, you come out of the woodwork like the rabid teenage fanboys that you are.
Again, what kind of insecure, pathetic rat acts like this, getting offended at other people's expense?

>>2859360
Was it really worth going into the archive to look up what I changed, then post about it here?

>>2859364
You seem more personally offended than me but keep using the fanboy defense it's really putting yourself over professionals and validating your "critique".

About the insecure part, let's see, it's funny how in these types of threads no one posts their work to defend their criticisms of the popular artists they are scrutinizing.

>>2859291
Dude you sound pretty jealous of Justin Bieber
Did you know he's rich and a pretty good musician?

>>2859376
>You seem more personally offended
Well, no. You're offended because someone has an opinion that you don't agree with, and jump through endless hoops and make up bizarre claims in order to justify your bullshit.
My responses are entirely aimed at your childish, baseless attacks.

>it's really putting yourself over professionals and validating your "critique".
What's with the paranoid delusions? You think having an opinion about something, means that person is putting themselves above what they're having an opinion about? I can criticize a boxer with a poor jab or a movie with poor cinematography, without claiming that I would do a better job.
Seriously, have you had absolutely zero interaction with people? Do you always turn into a hysterical, paranoid idiot when someone criticizes something you like?

>it's funny how in these types of threads no one posts their work to defend their criticisms of the popular artists they are scrutinizing.
Ok, so you really are a fucking idiot, and you've actually resorted to using one of the oldest logical fallcies in the book. Is this your first time on the internet?

>>2859249
Yeah, I love some of his paintings while I don't really like some of the others. I don't get why /ic/ feels the need to constantly argue over him though.

>>2859389
People see a few mistakes and want to show off, so they point out the mistakes while ignoring why people praise him, which is his really skillful and interesting rendering,

>>2859391
Nice projection, you delusional faggot.

>>2859151
what's the name of this piece? google gives me nothing

where can you find the rest of his stuff?

>>2859410
He posted it on facebook.

>>2859388

You are the one who is jumping through hoops trying to pass off a couple of negative comments as valid criticism. You can criticize all you want, no one is arguing that, if you can actually make one.

On a side note I thought these two statements were hilarious
>Seriously, have you had absolutely zero interaction with people?

>Is this your first time on the internet?

You can't even place a consistent negative label on me

Nah, some people just decide to post their opinion, and the rest just gets offended for no reason, and then the /ic/ shitposting cycle begins.

>>2859417
Lol like the other guy who replied to me, good point

>>2859415
>You can't even place a consistent negative label on me
How dumb can you get? They both imply a lack of interaction with other human beings, whether it's online or in real life.
You're basically using arguments that young, inexperienced teenagers use. Anyone who's used these arguments in any creative community will get shut down immediately and learn to stop using them.

Your idiocy basically boils down to these two infantile arguments:

- You can't criticize someone without being better than the one you're criticizing.
- If you criticize someone popular, it means you're jealous.

>>2859420
No, he's referring to you, you fucking idiot.

>>2859425
Only those aren't my arguments lol, I'm saying your "criticisms" are so bad and grasping only a jealous person who sucks would say them.

But you don't have any valid critisisms for me to even have that argument...

Damn you guys went through a lot of hoops to justify shitting on an artist you are no where near in skill level.

>>2859151
fact: her whole right arm is too small

Is there anything other than the few vids of ruan jia on youtube? Are there more things on his process out there?

why is the every time this guy's art get posted on /ic/, the armchair art critics come out the woodwork?

>>2859472
Because they can't take the truth that they can't draw for shit and try to downplay a real artist to make themselves feel better

>>2859472
>>2859473
the entire point of this board is for "armchair art critics" to give critique...
i don't really think it has anything to do with ego. just because someone criticizes something, even if the crit is off, doesn't mean they are trying to feel better about themselves. it doesn't even mean they dislike what they are criticizing.
i mean for real, what's the big deal with pointing out something that looks weird to you? why is this worth arguing over or even mentioning?

>>2859480
Why would you bash another artist who is clearly better than you if you don't have some kind of ego

>>2859538
everyone's got an ego here.
but that doesn't mean criticism is always maliciously governed by ego.
her hand/arm looks kind of small! he's still better than me, but that's just something i notice, like some other anons have.
just because he's better than me or someone else doesn't mean he completely lacks bad habits or doesn't make mistakes.
i think it's a big jump to say criticism of someone more skilled than you means you're crazy jelly of them
and anyhow, better observation comes before better drawing, so those who criticize may have sufficient observation skills, while their drawing skills have yet to catch up

>>2859265

>I'm not good at art so I'm going to make up for it by pretending other people don't know the subject
Nice projection there, you illiterate faggot.

>>2859480

can someone pls explain to a noob what's so great about him?
The human figure is looks great and very close to lifelike so I see great skill here. I also like his rendering. But the color choice is not that gr8 and the his overall subject matters are boring af. I mistook his stuff for a random generic artist before I knew it was Ruan. Why does ic worship him like a good? because of skill with anatomy/rendering?

>>2861826
ive followed a lot of people on artstation and other sites, and nothing really comes close to the rendering complexity of ruan. i cant give a legit answer but i like his stuff because he doesn't work in your typical digital painting way, like craig mullins. he will make a drawing gray scale to color without layers.

I checked them and the values are fine.
If you weren't such a cocksucking retard you'd understand that not every form has to have hard contrast to read, and that part of what makes ruan and any skilled painter good is subtle value control that allows them to turn forms without assblasting their shadow shapes with super dark values

Different anon here but the desaturated image posted in >>2863544 is the loomis'd version, which is the point OP poster was making.
You can call them too stupid to use photoshop but at least they can see the difference between the original and edited versions straight away.

It's irrelevant since the edit only liquified and moved things around, didn't change any values, but here's comparison between the loomis one in grey which was posted, and the actual OP pic in grey.

you didn't convert to gray using the proper method,

Because Frazetta is better at composition and design than anime artists, or most artists period. While several artists around the same time did the same subject matter (Boris, Krenkel, Williamson), a Frazetta will stick out immediately due to Frank's design sense and storytelling.

Nah women are just better at color because they can notice more chromas.

>>2861345
It's like that in the original, retard.

>>2864553
Do you make that stuff up yourself or are being taught it somewhere? In any case I would like to remind you that men got more brain cells on average compared to women. That's why men are smarter.

>>2864560
Nah, men are very stupid.

>>2864563
But even then women are more stupid.

How would you convert an image to greyscale then if not by just adjusting the saturation bar? It's a trick question btw

that is correct.

This comparison just made me realize Ruan Jia made her face look more idealized and better.

>>2864573
There is saturation hue and value
By adjusting the saturation to grey scale the errors in value become apparent. Hue is what people normally think about as color.

Adjusting saturation a very simple learning method from a digital tool like photoshop that traditional artists are completely missing out on.

>Apert syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones (craniosynostosis). This early fusion prevents the skull from growing normally and affects the shape of the head and face. In addition, a varied number of fingers and toes are fused together (syndactyly).

It's a chromosome 10 error. It leads to eyes being too far apart. It also leads to fingers and toes being fused together.

That is basically the anime beauty standard. Retardation. Perhaps a side effect of nuclear radiation.

>>2864802
We can't comment on what memes you hear and fall for, anon. Women like to be told they are smart and argue if they don't get enough attention and if men want sex from them they will often play along. No matter the culture, when men meet it is always something they can agree and joke about.

Do you actually think that ruans image is flat?

>>2864546
Can you read?
>It's irrelevant since the edit only liquified and moved things around, didn't change any values
The point I made was to stop the two anons pointlessly fighting over whether the desaturated image was the OP or the edited one, that's all.

Better than indulging people's dunning kruger syndrome

>when men meet it is always something they can agree and joke about.
You really don't meet much people, then.

Y'know, I go on the draw threads and self promotion threads, and I never see any work that as even reached an employable level.

Now I see here, random anons trying to pick apart a professional illustration yet they lack the same skills to at least draft a good image

This doesn't mean there are not good painters here, but none of the work is on the same level

WIth that being said, why should I trust that the corrections made to the image are actually correct when most work here is of a low to intermediate quality?

I'll just, for now take it on faith that the anon who warped the image to "correct" it is incompetent at best and delusional at worst.

>>2865545
>Y'know, I go on the draw threads and self promotion threads, and I never see any work that as even reached an employable level.
There's a very small handful of pros that post in those threads on occasion, and a still small but slightly larger handful of pros who lurk and don't bother posting their work.

>This doesn't mean there are not good painters here, but none of the work is on the same level
Ruanjia is one of the best digital painters on the planet though, so you won't find many people near his level obviously.

How about you use your eyes to judge it, rather than relying on someone's reputation/name for determining the quality.

The art that is considered professional nowadays are shit-tier photobashes.

And how could you, or anyone else tell if they're pros or not? Because they say so?

>How about you use your eyes to judge it, rather than relying on someone's reputation/name for determining the quality.

Because I lack the proper training to have an eye for what is correct or not. Someone's reputation, portfolio, or name is a reliable source as they are better than me hence the good reputation thus I'll give them more authority over some alleged "pro" who won't even most work when asked

>>2865486
The post you quoted wasn't fighting about that, you dumbass.

>>2865880
Are you new here? Do you know how to look through earlier replies, or is two posts the maximum you can handle without forgetting not to drool?

The posts I respond to here are people arguing about if the greyscaled image is the OP or not.
>>2864510

This post >>2864546 is talking about the value range, which I didn't talk about at all, I literally only posted to stop those two dumbasses arguing pointlessly about what was the OP image and what wasn't since it's so obvious, I wasn't making any point about the values at all, even said in that post that they don't change.

Maybe you should learn how to use message boards you fucking retard, or practice keeping more than two posts in your head at once.

>>2865900
What the fuck is wrong with you. I made both >>2863544 and >>2863544

>>2863544 was to illustrate a point to another poster about the value.

>>2863544 was to point out that loomis version or not, it wasn't relevant to the point made in >>2863544

>Wojtek, Shaddy, Zeng, Algenpfleger, etc are all "professional level" artists who put out complete shit.

Not him but other than Wojtek, no, not really. Your idea of "complete shit" is inflated because you don't want to admit that there are literally hundreds of thousands of artists who are FAR better than you who aren't that good themselves. Especially Shaddy and Algen are a thousand times more skilled artists than you will ever be, even if they didn't lose their ability to create crap every once in a while. No idea who Zeng is, but if this was a spelling error and you actually meant Feng then you are even more delusional than I first thought.
