fun fact.
Ilya sat on his DA account for 4 years mostly unnoticed, until he got 2 daily deviations and his "Mathilda" piece got featured on the front page of DA for several days in 2014, causing several other snowball effects like his drawings being featured on 9gag and getting many reblogs on tumblrs where it was shared. This skyrocketed him and got him a million page views before the end of the year.

in 2010 he wrote in a journal entry
>I'm here about one year. I know, that my drawings are not so good, I know, that I draw a little, and 90 % of viewings of my works were made by my friends. But... Is it correct? I do something wrong? Maybe it is necessary to advertise itself somehow? Or to participate in competitions? Or what? I do not know.

You're changing the goal posts here. We were never talking about what your chances are to ever be as successful as Kron as an artist, I agree that your chances are next to nothing. But you were originally saying the very act of achieving what Kron has achieved is not desirable to you.

>"Oh god, I was right of taking STEM degree, now I don't have to "make it" and become like that fucker."

The facts are Kron does what he loves, he has very few working hours, he doesn't even have to bother with clients anymore. He basically just fucks around in his comfort zone for a couple of hours per week and he makes 12000$ per month. I get it that you are jealous, but don't pretend that working your ass off 8+ hours a day in your deadend, oversaturated STEM field for at best a third of his salary is in any way better, let alone more fun.

disregard all the other fags that replied. the real reason he's hated is because he was accused of tracing last year, and people got pissed because they thought he must trace everything and is only making money through plagiarism. It got even worse when it was found that he accused someone else of plagiarism/tracing and looked like a massive hypocrite. This is why he changed his name from kr0npr1nz to Kuvshinov-Ilya in order to get away from the tainted reputation.

to be perfectly clear, he's not a tracer. he simply did master studies of several official animu art, stylized photo studies, and some screenshot re-draws of anime stills, and uploaded them to his DA without credit. though when you look at it, most of his works were heavily referenced, so from an artist point of view he's still cheap shit.

The idea of patrician/pleb taste is ingrained in all of 4chan, He capitalizes on whatever's popular at the time, unapologetically rips off other artists' work, adds cheap effects like chromatic aberration and anime eyes, and gained a legion of normie following by doing that.

He obviously does traces/paint-overs and has a couple of master studies, there's nothing wrong with those as long as you don't try to pass them off as your own original artwork or make money off of them.

no he doesn't. if you look closely at all of those studies you can see obvious differences in positions, sizes or forms. it's not impossible to convincingly replicate a photo/artwork in a study if you're good enough. in some cases his version is much better than the original, especially the first one on the top left here >>2767001

i don't blame him for doing this, any time you ask "how do I draw like __" you're going to be told to study them to learn their techniques. he liked several animes so he studied them to help him become an anime artist. doing these exercises is probably how he eventually developed his style. he shouldn't have uploaded them though, especially not without even mentioning it was a study.

I swear to god, Kron is literally the only artist who's existence pisses me off.

I don't even know why. There are dozens of even worse pieces of shit out there who get even more attention etc. Probably because I thought he was actually good before I stated drawing myself.

The tracing scandal has very little to do with it.

All I see in him now, barring a couple of photo studies of environments etc, is 5 fucking years of the same picture of the same emotionless female face and he couldn't even do THAT without stealing from both media and other fan artists. It's a complete and utter lack of any sort of creativity that is for some reason tread as the opposite.

Those "cafe studies" that turned out to be photo studies of pictures from google were pretty pathetic too.

I personally know a couple of people who actually lived and worked with him before he got huge and they all showed disappointed in him because they thought he was way better than that. They all say that the guy CAN actually draw very well, which is clearly evident by the minority of his works, but he just chose to abandon all that for the sake of attention from the lowest common denominator.

It's sad that htis kind of thing works in real life and it's also pretty sad to see young artists looking forward to him because it's not the good kind of inspiration. It's the "whoa I want to get popular while being lazy piece of shit too" kind of thing.

tracing by my definition is to physically place a sheet over the subject and copy line by line.

copying exact pose =/= tracing imo.

Yes is a cheese method of doing fanart but eh. Each to their own.

How the fuck can an aspiring artist see that pic and think that it's ok just because he didn't literally trace it?

I know that art is an amalgamation of creative and technical skills and a lot of artists in the industry etc are getting food on their table purely trough the latter one and it's perfectly fine.

But what's the fucking point of being a free artist on the internet and then sticking to doing 1 to 1 replicas of already existing images except in "your style" except even the way he draws those goddamn faces was stolen from that manga.

Would YOU PERSONALLY feel good as an artist doing this kind of fucking cancer?

It's okay and it's a free market and the point is to get good and known if you want to make it. It's like hollywood and branding 101. In which you have sell yourself,whore your self to the common denominator or create your own niche. Fuck artistic integrity if your never gain any skill & visibility as a artist in the internet age. The fact is we really don't need more practical artists.

>Would YOU PERSONALLY feel good as an artist doing this kind of fucking cancer?
Yes as long as i'm on not profiting of it, but building a fanbase. And there is a time and place for such commercialization of fanart if such artist want to go down that route.
The major point of contention was that ilya for a large period of time did fanart studies and profited of it, that had exact replicated pose of the referenced art. Which I could see as unjust. However he has changed that and we should all move along.

When was the last time you seen his DA? He is doing literally the same fucking shit he did 4 years ago.

Very few people would be sitting here bitching about him being trash if he EVER actually bothered to quit the "presenting studies as a piece" phase and drew something that is not an environment study, human photo study or a samefaced female bust.

>Like I would help /ic/ a lot with digital painting and other things if people weren't so fucking toxic and butthurt with all this drama bullshit.
This argument is an oxymoron. You will never win it by posting it in drama threads because it automatically makes you part of the problem you are describing. A self-righteous wannabe middle-ground part of the problem.

Also, at least you can trace his history of art way back to 2009. You can see he always had thing for redrawing popular art, you could say it was his weak point. Pic related, I actually giggled at this one.

It's just study traces, in a nutshell. Those faggy backers rewarded him immediately when he's not matured yet as an artist.

You don't publish traced work and expect to get positive feedbacks among the community with "keen artist eyes." An artist sees through a magician and even GOD. That's why most art theives get caught unless of course if they killed the source.

He's got style, textures brushes, and form but still lacking in character, story, even the colors don't fit in most of the time - try inverting the image's color (same with horizontal flip thingy). There's nothing to critique because those images were traced from someone else's published work AND people like you don't even have the courage to critique because you don't understand the "textured brushes blur and oversaturation" meme that's killing digital art. Even abstract art have more meaning than 'it looks good but this picture is not a thousand words' (not the scatological type of abstract art).

There's a saying that good artists copy but great artists steal.
Remember an artwork's value is never whole if it's just another clone/copy that's why the best ones steal that life and trap it within a frame that NO other artist can ever steal!

Conclusion? the schism is not his fault but his followers. [message to his fans]Critique your worshipped artist otherwise art slump for the next years.

He's not the final form yet but I think it's not too late.

Which is perfectly fine because, you know, you didn't create those characters and neither did you spend hundreds of millions of dollars promoting them. You are not entitled for shit


And what exactly would Kr0n do in that situation?

Faggot can't design a character, can't tell a story, can't come up with an illustration that is not a goddamn static portrait, can't draw a background that is not both heavily refernced and hidden below layers of blur. He hasn't evolved or moved outside of his comfort zone for an inch in YEARS. Who the fuck would hire him? Especially once he runs his same picture so hard into the ground that even the lowest common denominator will move on to the next epic meme.

At this point I'm more interested in how and why a bunch of illiterate Russians (or is it just one guy?) came out of the woodwork for this thread than the validity of Ilyas success

>> No.2781544

>>2781534
I'm Russian, and sometimes I have felling, what there is a lot of Russians on 4chan, maybe Ilya's tread is just like red flag to many of us to show themselfs out and start to show jealousy for our countryman.
Sorry for bad english, I'm illiterate too

The guy hung out on russian gaming forums and imageboards, went to meetings etc. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's some faggot who knows him IRL trying to white knight for his friend/idol.

I always funpost in Kr0n shit threads, autismo. There is no even any reason to read this thread seriously. Who the fuck in sane mind will post here unironically? Why do you even need to open this thread? Everyone knows about plagiarism scandal for years. Nothin new. You here for circlejerk, mental autism and funposting like am. Now go and eat your burger.

From what I've seen, there aren't usually that much obviously-not-Russian Engrish anons, I'm guessing this posted got posted somewhere over there, since some of them don't seem to have a good understanding of how this site works, just look at all the names (or maybe that's really one or two guys all along). There are also weird posts with his photos like >>2772243, >>2772244, >>2772248, and >>2772629, probably posted by either friends or crazy fans.

Kr0n has talent, and he chose to be a cheap plagiarizer who churn out the same pandering trash over and over again. I sure am glad he's succeeding.

I posted this photos and I'm not his big fan or his friend, I respect him and his talent, but I'm disappointed by his work since 2015, because he ceased to grow.
All of this photos in free access on Ilya and Shwedoff (his old friend) VK profiles, so it's okay, I suppose.

I doubt that guy even lives in Japan.
His famous "drawn from real life japanese girls just met them on the way to my studio" sketches were just random photos of comiket he traced with girls in costumes.

this is his personal instagram. https://www.instagram.com/yokohama_kaidashi_kikou/

he took advantage of his rise in popularity to announce that he was open to accepting any job as long as it moved him to Japan. Shortly after he moved to Yokohama, and recently moved to Tokyo.

I know his "ongoing" manga is called ChromatiQ (fucking kek), but not sure if this panel >>2781856 is part of it.

Even the whole fucking manga/comic consist of 90% bust shots/ closeups. Maybe he tried something more dynamic and came up with something like >>2781856, thought it's too hard and went back to the easy stuff.

At least overpaint the background more, damn it.
