I don't know what the fuck is wrong with him. He isn't a god tier artist by any means but he has proven that he can do decent art work. If you look at his portfolio he has some decent things in there too. I can't for the life of me understand why he pumps out shit like the OP.

His new logo is a downgrade from the OG one too and he recently uploaded this video which is so awful that I almost thought that it was a parody at first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWEWS5luNKE

His latest stuff on his channel has been crap even by his standards, but /ic/ pulls the "he's been drawing for x years and barely improved" too much. I'll quote Glenn Vilppu since this board sucks his dick. - "The pace of learning of any given subject, after the initial rapid advancement, seems to move upwards in ever shortening steps, while the time between those steps seems to stretch out longer and longer until we begin to wonder if there is any movement at all."

I guarantee you a fair amount of /ic/ at any given time is within one to three years in and are convinced their trend of improvement will remain steady, then they shit on artists who have plateaued.

keeeeeek

[Anonymous No.2663770]

Here are the reasons why he sucks even after 20 years of drawing:

Closed mindedness.
Refuse to try new things.
Thinks doodling is hard work.
Thinks being analytical is bad.
Having that turd polish mundset therefore nothing gets done.
Thinks that its okay to suck at something because he isnt interested.
Doesnt network with big artists from hollywood/game artists
Thinking that being good at caricature is enough.
Self fulfilling prophecy-he thinks he isnt good because he cant remember faces.
Thinks it is okay to suck because he has a tragic past - put all the blame on others.
Thinks hand dexterity is important.
Never finishes anything.
Thinking that rough sketch is enough.
Thinking that detail is not necessary because it is easy.
Too pussy to try difficult things.
Only hangs out with shit artists.

Its unbelievable. All the artists that draws with him in crimson daggers are all pros now except for him. Look at alex negrea and john silva, they drew less than him but improved to much faster.

I think most people hate Sycra because they used to idolize him when they were just starting off, but then when they started to get better and start realizing his stuff was not actually THAT great.. Despite all his videos teaching, and him repeating the word "Anatomy" over 9000 times. Y'know I used to really like Sycra myself but when I compared him with other artists like Kronpr1nz or other really good pixiv artists I just couldn't really admit he was a good artist. No matter how hard I tried to make him a "senpai" I just couldn't because his work always looked like scary pointy chinned goblins or weird ass creature or some shit, and I refuse to be taught by people that can only talk but can't really prove that they can DO! Thus the reason why I stopped watching his videos.

Anon, he pretty clearly can draw and knows what he's talking about, and generally explains things well.

He has shit taste and his style sucks, but all that reflects is that his advice on design should be taken with a grain of salt, not that he lacks skill.

Though he changed the actually good drawing on the front page of his website to a crappy stylized one, his awful taste and determination to push his style is really kneecapping him.

OK. Maybe looong long LOOOOONG time ago when Da vinci or Raphael were still alive but even way back then Michael Angelo was more of a free spirit while Raphael had all these prestigious teachers cause he was a rich little shit i guess. Still like Angelo's work much better, and he is known up to this day for painting the Sistine chapel. Most good artists that I see these days are usually self taught. It's only the unconfident little shits like Sycra and Jetty Jet Fag that waste money to blame the school instead of them for their shit taste in art.

Im still really a beginner but what turned me off about him was after seeing lots of other artists say that style comes naturally and you shouldn't worry about it was seeing one of his videos about how he had to force his style.
