/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

My mom threw away everything, I used to have hundreds of drawings from when I was a kid.

You drew this the year I was born. Technical inaccuracies aside this is pretty fucking radical. What's your work look like today?

Here's my submission. Think I was like, 6, 7? The skeleton is saying "I meant fetch that bone not my bone".

That level would have been good enough to work for videogames at that time, man. I remember thinking how badass the manual art was in Warcraft I/II but you look at it today and you become more aware of its flaws. It's still metal as hell, though. Shame you don't draw anymore dude. I'd like to see more.

It's good enough for videogames at the time because it's traced. Probably from a videogame ad.

>traced from a ad
>this derp anatomy
>this crazy proportions
>this nonsensical draped
It's quite good for a 16 years old but terrible for an ad. Go study some fundies, anon.

Not him but you're missing his point. Look at Chris Metzen's original concept art for the Warcraft and Diablo series and you'll see that OP's work wasn't really that far off. This was near enough the standard back in the day. You forget that fantasy media concept artist wasn't exactly a prestigious role back then like it is today, hardly anybody did it.

>>3557471
How i'm missing the point? The quality of the art of one media at the time doesn't mean OF trace this drawing 100 years ago, are you high or something?

OP's already on death doorsteps, there is no need be a crab with him, think about the poor old man.

>>3557477
>42 years old
>deaths door
Oh god I remember when I was a braindead, obnoxious teen lol

>>3557477
I think you misunderstand what the term crab means. Right now the only one being a crab here is you. How about you stop being a pussy bitch, man up and post some of your own older art here? Ofc you won't, because you only like shitting on others right :^)

there there, old man, there is no need to get angry now, soon everything will end on your eternal slumber, no more pain or suffering from all those bad people hurting your fellings.

I wish, I alredy told you guys, my mom threw away everything.

>>3557490
Yeah, I'm not him, I'm >>3556691
>because when you've no arguments left and you realise you're losing, resort to ad hom :^)

>>3557462
Oh my sweet summer child. Green texting doesnt make you right.
And just because it's in an advert doesnt mean its good. Just means someone got paid for it.
After all, it was made by a human.

>>3557505
Losing? We are talking about death here, anon, everybody loses...eventually. OP just is in the end game.
>>3557506
I cannot imagine for the life of me someone with half a brain paying someone for a professional work with this level with the streets chock-full of better artists basically working for free. Furthermore for high fantasy where people praise so much for realism in Ads and this kind of stuff.

>>3557520
I agree, Picaso is a hack.

>>3556686

Cool! Reminds me of old Jeff Dee or Bill Willingham stuff from TSR's hey-day.

>>3557525
>I agree, Picaso is a hack.

Pablo Picasso was never called an "asshole".

I never traced this. That paper is thick as hell. It's too shit to be traced. What's with /ic/ and thinking everything, including shit art, is traced?

>>3557525
For what I alredy read about him, yes, he is a fucking hack,

OP here. Holy shit, man. This thread was supposed to be about nostalgic shit we did when we didn't care or were serious as much about art.
I didn't trace this. Again, it's too shit to be traced. It's not an ad. It's just a drawing I did on that soft, fuzzy-ish shit poster paper for art class in 10th grade art class.

Some of you have some serious problems, or are so bored that you have to seek out arguments where none are to be found.

This place is a giant basket of crabs. You can sometimes get good ideas here, find some digital copies of art books, and - on occasion - get some valuable advice and critique if you get in with the right bunch of fellows, but always remember: this is 4chan. This site attracts trolls, autists, and assholes like moths to a flame, and there's about as much control here as there was in the wild wild west of the mid-1800's.

>>3557546
It just looks very firmiliar to me. Maybe sourced some art for it?

>>3557570
Dude, it was 1991, there is no source. I had a love for fantasy, dnd and metal. My brain was full of that imagry. Why is that so hard to accept?

>>3556686
>I did this when I was in 10th grade, back in '91.

This drawing is also dated 1991. I must've been in college by then, so not exactly my "childhood".

>>3557596
I remember patlabor back then, that's really cool work. You're older than me I'm guessing. Do you still draw?

>>3557604
>You're older than me I'm guessing.

Not by much, but yes, a little bit.

>Do you still draw?

Every single day.

>>3556691

I found actual work from my childhood. This is a picture of John Quincy Adams I did for an elementary school project - sometime between fourth and sixth grade.

I probably thought I was being serious about this back then, but ... what did I know?

>>3557555
>>3557555
Sadly, i'm serious about art since 6 years old. It may sound nice, but isn't, trust me.

>>3556695
I agree in general with some art back in the time that was interesting but you felt like the artist still hadn't completed his training, however metzen's art in warcraft II's manual was and is still is pretty great. Sure it's not fine art but it's not trying to be. It's definitely competent and it also is somewhat distinct from other artwork

>>3557616
Nice Soltic, do you have more?

I think my brother was influenced by Super Mario Brothers 2, or Orientalist painting.
