Sinix is a huge influence of mine. I also dig kjg obviously, Karl kopinski and Katsuya terada.

>>2931486
fuck him for being so good

Artists: Matt rhodes,Glen Keane,Claire Hummel,Gustav Klimt
Influences in general: 60s lifestyle illustrations,hanna barbera,Ghost in the shell (the original movie),Street Fighter 2 (the oldschool animated movies), WW2 propaganda posters, ect.

>>2931516
also yoji shinkawa

James Jean. The guy is an incredibly skilled draftsman and creative as all hell to boot. I love how he draws upon and incorporates a variety of sources in his work ranging from Medieval art to pop art. I take a lot of inspiration from the flowing quality of his linework.

>>2931537
I always knew him as "the guy who did the fables covers"

I don't understand why people adore Sinix so much on this board, given that people reguarly shit on artists like Mullins and Ruan Jia.

>>2931491

Like Sinix isn't even a shitstain on KJG's toilet paper. What's the draw?

>>2931785
I don't get the love for Sinix either, to be honest. Not hating on his skill, but his stylization isn't appealing to me and seeing his work for the first time after hearing d/ic/ks cumming over his work set my expectations high for his work.

He's really good (pro level, obviously), but his work seems... attainable? As in, I could reach that level one day, versus KJG or Sargent or etc. Is that why he's an inspiration for so many people?

I'm not trying to hate on him or people who like him. I just feel like an aspie because I don't get it.

Chase Stone. Really dig his stuff.

>>2931793

Seems reasonable. Same thing with shitty "manga anatomy" tutorials on deviantart that always seem to be super popular I guess.

>>2931785
>>2931793
I personally like some elements of his stylization. His faces always end up looking kinda wonky and elfy but I really like how he draws such organic things with such blocky lines. His implementation of graphical elements into his art is also something I like about him.
I agree with you that he isn't even close to the greats like kjg and I think an element of my admiration for him is probably because his skill seems achievable. There's kinda different tiers of inspiration for me, like I look up to some people on /ic/, low level pros, people like sinix, and then the greats as well. You don't have to be the most skilled artist ever to inspire people imo.

>>2931804
>>2931828
Thanks for making the situation more understandable for my autistic brain, guys!

To the second anon, I totally get the different tiers of inspiration, but it was the amount of praise he got and being lumped in with art deities that took me off guard.

I have a lot of intermediate artists I look up to (who influence me more career and output-wise, than technique like Sargent or other masters), so I hope no one takes my posts as shitting on people for not jacking off to solely Zorns or Krenz.

Probably Darick Robertson. Not that he's the greatest artist in the world, but Transmet truly blew my mind when I first read it.

Don Rosa

Bear in mind that I first heard of KJG only about 2 years ago.

>>2931828
Sinix isn't a "low level" pro though. Most professionals aren't fucking KIM JUNG GI tier. Sinix is middle tier professional along with sycra.

>>2932254
Sorry if I worded it wrong. I meant to imply that sinix is a mid to high level pro. That's why I put his name after low level pros. I agree with you.

'eyo, sinix here

That's nice of you, OP, but man.. I always feel dumb when people talk about my art being an inspiration.

I'm such a fanboy of so many better artists, that I always have that gut reaction of "don't aim for me when I'm aiming at a ton of better people" , but I'm happy to provide some fun and hopefully infectious passion for art.

Sinix, do you think you would ever do more in depth videos about design theory? Dissecting games/films/fashion etc and discussing what you find appealing and maybe using that stuff to make something. Or maybe you can open it up to your viewers and have them submit from the things that they find appealing.

maybe you could have left out their race entirely instead ? instead of implying whites are destructive people and then antisemites too. Moron.

hard to favorite a single artist, I'd say that manga is the biggest influence and what I'm aiming for as far as style goes. My goal when I draw is for my lines to be clear, easy to read, expressive and ideally to convey a story. Even if I love more intricate stuff like Franklin Booth, it's not what I'm after

I have too many i enjoy from every century but I always find myself looking at the pre raphaelites. They have such a beautiful style, mixing between the romantic ideals of medieval times and a gritty realism.

I think I have a favorite artist for every part of a picture, I love Rembrandt for his lighting, I love Bouguerau for his colors, Beksinski for his creepy atmosfere, Junji Ito for his lines, etc, etc.

But If I had yo choose one that was the closest to what I want to achieve, I would have to choose Keith Thompson. His conceps are just too good, I love how diverse his ideas are but they stop just before being alien. He also seems to have a great understanding of history and machinery, so his concepts are very believable

> Favorite Artist

I don't think I could ever pick an artist to be my absolute favorite, theres to many for me to pick. But there are some artists who I do hold a special place in my heart.
1. Mark Ryden - Pushed me more into surrealism and developing more of a realistic style. Plus, I love how he draws his girls/women.
2. Naoko Takeuchi and Akira Toriyama - My childhood right here. They actually inspired me to get into drawing/art. They were also my first gateway to discovering anime before the internet.

> Biggest influence when it comes to style.

Shit, I take a lot of inspiration from many different art styles, but the one style I frequently fall back to is the semi real anime style. Like, the kind you would see back in the 80s/90s. I love the hyper detail they would do back then (pic related).

Sinix got big inspiration points I think because of the he got reasonably good in a short amount of time. He started out doing horrendous anime and Jhonen Vasquez stuff, so seeing him come out of that in about 8 months is pretty encouraging to a lot of people.

While I can't find anything definitive I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised that the reason you mention both Sargent and Leyendecker is that in some fashion Sargent was certainly an influence on Leyendecker.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm always on the lookout for seeing influences of fantastic artists.

Personally I enjoy the work of Frank Frazetta, Milt Kahl, Erich Sokol, Bill Tupper, Budd Root, and a plethora of others. Many of which I can't name right now but their art is unbelievable.

I honestly have a lot of artist that are a big inspiration to me. Wesley Burt, Karla Ortiz, Even Mehl Amundsen, to name a few. However, someone I always come back to is Rien Poortvliet, he was a Dutch illustrator and dear god he could draw. I owned his Horses book as a child and back then i spent many evenings crudely copying the drawings of it. I got decent at drawing horses through it I suppose and somehow retained that knowledge. I wish I could've met him, sadly he passed away in 1995 or something. He described himself as a drawing storyteller and published some books with his drawings and paintings on varying subjects, lots of animals. I own almost all of them, working on getting the ones I'm missing. Pic related.
