noooo
he fucking ruined it the madman

>>3540927
I think he's losing confidence and tries to mimic the painting of an old master or something, thus screwing up his original vision

stay yourself fkin runa

>>3540924
It's okay but also a bit weird. Why is her hair standing up like that? Not to mention, her hair looks a bit creepy the longer I look at it.
I can't figure out what that golden thingy on her forehead is supposed to be either.

I admire his patience, his work must take thousands of hours and he always do the same stuff which is not interesting apart from being very well polished

>>3540973
He’s like the Christopher Nolan of cinema

>>3540976
y.. you mean the christopher nolan of digital painting..

>>3540947
True

>>3540949
Ye looks like she got cum on her face for the first time and got surprised as fuck

>>3540976
this is one of the greatest Nolan disses of all time

>>3540927
it was always shit

>>3540924
another inspiring masterpiece
that's why i love ruan jia
all of his works just scream "creativity" and "soul"

His older work is masterful but these last pink haired girls are vapid turds
Getting pretty boring
>we get it, you can render like any Chinese robot who puts time into it

>>3540973
Really? Fucking thousands of hours?>>3540994
Is this digital? I’ve necer heard of the dude
>>3541035
Oh is this him too? It looks like a different artist.

Post more?

he can do some not so generic shit, so what's going on?

>>3541046
He's got some great technical skill, so obviously if he has an art director giving him instructions on what to paint, he can still create awesome art. It's his personal work and class demos that are mostly garbage.

>>3540924
So do these "legendary" asian painters actually paint something interesting and dynamic that's more than just random detail and background shit with a generic annie may face looking off into the distance?

I've been seeing them posted a bit recently and every time it's just some chick looking in a direction and a bunch of detail around her.

>>3540924
>grey skinned woman in armour in stiff pose with nonsensical lighting and no facial expression
he's really mixing it up this time

He's mad good, but his subjects have been getting very, Veeeery boring lately... C'mon man, surprise us a bit! You're becoming as generic as sakimichan (sorry to make a comparison this harsh,but he's really being repetitive)

is it possible to be realistic and surreal? Because that's what I get whenever I look at his art.

Dreamlike and surreal

listen dudes. sometimes you just want to paint qts. a high skill level doesnt turn you into an art philosopher. sometimes no matter how much you learn from the point of getting into art, when youre under no constraint you draw what you enjoy, youre under no obligation to draw what other people want in your free time.

>>3541252
FUCKING THIS

>>3541035
his stuff has more soul and creativity than you will ever poop out, faggot

If you want to see art of things of a subject matter to your liking, why don't you go find art some place intended for discussion of that subject matter, instead of picking apart superfluous things in a place for the discussion of art?

>>3541252
his "qts" are ugly as shit

>>3541269
doesnt matter. he enjoys drawing them. take note.

>>3541272
deviantart tier argument
what's next? "it's his style"?

>>3541269
>calling them ugly
takes one to know one

itt pure snib snab jealousy

>>3541281
did you just seriously write that? lmao the state of ruanfags

>>3541276
>everyone has to conform to my tastes

mind explaining whats wrong with drawing what you like.

Kim Jung Gi's art is also not impressive outside the drawing process.

>>3541287
nothing? and what's wrong with people on a public talking about and criticizing someone? what, you only want people to shower him with praise?

>>3541252
no one's saying "we should bust down his door and execute him for drawing girls" faggot
they're just saying its dumb shit

>>3540976
B R A V O

>what haircut do you want femme?

>>3541299
>>3541300
sorry, im a bit lost in the discussion here, one guy is saying its a deviantart tier argument to say he should just be allowed to be boring and draw girls and there are others saying the issue is that its fine to do so its ust that theyre shit.

i have no stake in the matter, but in my opinion his boring art is still quite good, but compared to his best pieces he could stand to broaden his subject matter

>>3541299
Not him, but if you dont find anything wrong with him doing what he likes, and you acknowledge its for his own pleasure, what use is your "criticsm" on a completely subjective thing? Do you hope he will somehow change his habits if you shout it loud enough on a cambodian puppet shows board? Does it mske you feel more adequate to attempt to take a shit on someone who's skill level you'll never reach?

Whatever your beef is, it comes off as incredibly petty.

>>3541312
you can apply everything you said to your own petty comments. why do care about all the comments itt?

>>3541315
why do we care about anything. what is art. my head hurts

>>3541284
yeah I SERIOUSLY wrote that, god you sound like an angsty teenage girl

>DID YOU JUST SERIOUSLY WRITE THAT LOLOLOLOL

>>3541320
>takes one to know one
ok mature one

>>3541323
poor baby has shit taste, go masturbate to Rembrandt and sargent

>>3541331
>poor baby has shit taste, go masturbate to Rembrandt and sargent
but i'm the one who sounds like an angsty teen lmao

>>3541332
>this angry
you poor poor baby

youre both poor babies, stop shitposting and go draw

>>3541341
>you poor poor baby

>>3541091
Like a lot of artists, his older stuff was better

>>3541281
good counter

>>3541312
literally this, that anon sounds so butthurt for some reason.. it's like he wants to control people and force them to like what he likes

>>3541315
Im willing to make myself look loke a hypocrite to you if it means I can make you aware of your own pettyness.

Your time would be better spent focusing on your oen improvement rather than attacking another artist's subject matter.

>>3540924
He's has really good rendering. and I think art that OP posted is interesting. But most of his paintings are boring.

>>3541091
you haven't been looking very hard then, it seems.

>>3541297
Jesus Christ

>>3540924

Basically I love the way Ruan paints backgrounds but I'm not a big fan of his noodly overrendered figures.

>>3541496
>>3541496
aside from being able to draw anything from any angle without needing to sketch first, it's not that impressive

>>3541496
To /ic/ literally nothing is impressive

>>3541587
weirdly ic crabs come together to eat the anus of average anime artists. maybe cus its something they perceive as achievable whereas digital painting is something they think they could never do
obv not everyone on ic but a very vocal subset of them acts like this

>>3541551
>aside from the thing that's impressive, its not impressive

>>3541551
What a terrible way to construct things.
The human body isn't a bunch of solid cylinders.
It all bends and stretches, if you don't allow it to do that you remove all gesture from a drawing.

>>3541625
>sarcasm

>>3541629
yeah, I seriously hope you guys don't do this

>>3541632
make stiff construction, create stiff gesture

this is how you end up with merc wip my nigga

>>3541632
This looks oddly familiar.

>>3541650
its from a book

>>3541046
this is exactly the same, you just like the demons aesthetic more

>>3541590
the real reason is that digital painting with high technical skill is boring as fuck subject matter while anime actually interests them

>>3540924
>>3540927
What the fuck did he not like in the old one? It's not the first time I see him overpaint a portrait completely and the result is pretty much is equally great, but slightly different looking.

Post obscure highres files of his paintings.

>>3540924
WTF is that shit???

>>3540924
FIXED

honestly more interesting

reminds me of takato yamamoto and junji ito

>>3541813
selfie spook is an underrated and fun work of art

but smells like old pottery

>>3540924
>>3540927
>just because you can doesnt mean you should

>>3540924
I'm pretty sure the collarbones are incorrect. Shouldn't they be slanting down or flat, and their curve much softer?

>>3541927
it gets fixed in the paint over he did >>3540927

>>3541919
ivan solyaev

>>3541927
damn you'd think with such solid drawing skills he'd get everything perfect first try

>>3541963
>he thinks painters need to be good drawers

>>3541964
>drawers

>>3541963
Now we know why he never paints any expressions on the faces.
He can't.
What a fucking "master" lmao.
