Apparently there is not enough Ruan Jia on /ic as I type this.
Here.
actually this makes like 3 ruan jia related threads on the first page as i type this.
im not complaining though because i like ruan jia.
Someone recently posted this guy Wei Feng, which apparently Ruan Jia heavily based his style on, not sure if it's true but I much prefer Wei Feng's stuff regardless.

I like this guys works, but not this particular piece.
The way he handled the face just doesn't fit well.
>>3060197
thankyou
>>3060657

This work is so impractical and messy. Rendering is fine but its very hard to decipher what the fuck is actually going on, I mean you have some armor pieces, some horns but you can't build a 3d model out of it, right? It's just generic though polished trash.

your comment

Whoever you heard that from is just some dipshit who will also probably argue that construction is a meme. Chronologically Ruan Jia and HGJ are something like the godfathers of the present chinkese digital art scene.
>>3061249
It's an illustration for a shitty card game and it succeeds at that, it's a strong piece. I get that he's popular and you think you have to say something to the contrary but you really don't have anything to say.
>>3060657
holy shit. this guys better than ruan jia by an inch.
>>3061314
HGJ?
>>3061314
>HGJ
黄光剑 is a ripoff
>>3061314
>Chronologically Ruan Jia and HGJ are something like the godfathers of the present chinkese digital art scene.
wrong. Wei Feng has been a professional artist since the 90's working on generishit rpg's the entire time.
>>3062133
2010 wasn't his start.
>>3062182
REALLY?! WOW!!!
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
>>3062281
way better than ruan jia. not even a ruze. this guys stuff is top fucking tier style.
>>3062282
>way better than ruan jia
he's not. you have no taste.
Ruan Jia
Wei Feng
Guang Jian Huang (HGJ)
>>3062282
>way better than ruan jia
GOOD TASTE
here is another masterpiece for you
>>3061242
Where did you get that?
>>3062415
wtf? did he plagiarize HGJ, and for a legend of cryptids work?
>>3062499
post your work or stfu.
>>3062499
Being skilled doesn't mean you have good taste. Also for some of them it's because that's what they get paid to paint.
>>3062499
I don't think androgynous males in armor is generic.
And if it really is then you've given me quite the dilemma because I really dislike the idea of being generic in general but if I ever achieve skills like those (or get decent at least) I'd really like to paint androgynous males in overly complicated clothing.
>>3062505
But even their personal work is crap
>>3062412
HGJ and wei Feng make weak animu faces, their work is flat and anatomy is poor. HGJ hides everything behind annoying ornate details
I can get lost in Ruan Jia's work for ages
ITT:
>Asians posting other asians burnt out generic high fantasy paintings
>get told needs loomis
>asians butthurt
Nice to see my criticisms of burnt pure white hues and pure blacks on their same androgynous skinny armoured characters are catching on. Boring AF, at least people like fengh zu disappeared into his own work and stopped littering /ic/ with photobashed environments.
Need more Bouguereau and similar artists that actually learned what beauty is.
>>3062575
The painting you posted looks nice and all but not very interesting personally, I'll take some more androgynous warriors myself thanks.
>>3062499
>skilled artists
That's where you're wrong, they're rendermonkeys working for a wage.
>heavy texturized """""art"
You can do 3d too.
>>3062575
Bougerrougerou was a disgusting child pornographer and you should feel ashamed for even spelling his name correctly
>>3060197
deep inside every Ruan Jia fan is an embarrassed teenage Amano fan afraid to come out.
Does anyone have that infographic about lighting?
>>3062415
top tier. end of fucking story. he's better than ruan jia.
look at that fucking style. unbelievable.
>>3062412
You almost got it.
1.Wei Feng
2. HGJ
3. Ruan Jia
>>3062653
What's wrong with Amano?
>>3062668
nothing, i just find amano bashing odd, just because he was peoples main inspiration as kids. yet ruan jia is considered a god.
>>3062698
People bash Amano? His stuff is pretty sick. I get why people would prefer Jia over Amano though, Amano's style and those overly expressive styles in general are not for everyone while Jia's is more accesible I guess. I really like both myself.
>>3062172
Yeah sure, show me one of these guys who hasn't, but I was trying to address the style thing. Ruan and HGJ exploded as far as influence and copy cats go, Wei Feng's in comparison is only just recently getting the prestige. It helps that he's made incredible improvement over time.
>>3062790
These guys polished soo many turds to get to where they are. They're all top tier, but Wei Feng is top tier.
>>3062794
>Wei Feng
>top tier
lol
top weeb
>>3062819
awwwwwwwww!!!!!!! look it's another ruan jia dick kiss. fuck of imbecile.
>>3062794
>These guys polished soo many turds to get to where they are.
You mean like everyone ever? That's the only way you get anywhere.
>>3062845
>everyone
No. Not everyone has the drive these guys have.
These guys died seven times before they found that style.
>>3062819
What is the belly button doing down there?
>>3062873
maybe it is anus?
Wow, Ching Chong and his friend Ring Ding sure have great skills and technique...
Too bad they're derivative as fuck and have no actual artistic vision beyond muh animu, so they aren't worth a penny.
Call me when they've stopped being stuck in their Ayami Kojima DeviantArt goth phase. I'd rather hang a shit smear on hamburger wrapping paper by Basquiat in my living room than "generic fantasy painting".
>>3063399
AJHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>3063399
Agreed.
