I recently got into MS Paint art and would like your honest opinion of what you think. So far I've done 3 pieces and they all have Vaporwave style themes.


Here's my first piece the rest will be in comments in order of creation.

This one is the worst imo.

I think they look cool. The first is my fav, followed by the 2nd. They look like they could be used as art for an indie game.. what do you plan to use this art for anyway?

I just made it for fun and to practice my digital art skills. My favorite is the second, and it's only blurry because I had to enlarge it (it was so tiny I think like 199x100 or some shit)

Interesting, since youre working at small canvas sizes, have you tried out pixel art?

Yeah I dabbled a little bit when I was younger. I made pixel pokemon but I used references for those.

I would love to be an artist full time, and get better digitally as I create (since I'm pretty good at traditional art, not trying to brag but it's good for someone my age).

The only problem is there's no way I'd be good enough to make a career out of it. Maybe something with webcomics but even then I would always need a side job since art/entertainment careers are so unstable.

i like the first and second, but the third looks bad.

True, it is pretty risky, however I hope your practise proves to be fruitful and you catch a good opportunity to break into the industry.
Careful with webcomics btw, hiatuses are killers. So cushion yourself with a hefty queue before you start posting, if you choose the webcomics route as a side job. Also look at Daisuke , the creator of Cave Story, he chose an undemanding job so that he could work at his craft. Granted it took more than half a decade for him to be where he is now, but he was able to work on the prgramming and art of his game at his own pace, while having time for his family.
Anyway, whats your blog? Anymore digital art?

I don't have a blog and no these are my first real pieces. I mean I've made some shit like this before, but I don't count that :P

it's not that it's bad but the first two (especially the first) catch the vaporwave aesthetic perfectly.

while the last doesn't at all and looks very bland

not many people do vaporwave pixel art, especially scenery so you might have something here :)

Yeah I like doing more natural landscapes with a pastel overtone. I tried the lampost because it was something manmade and I wanted to broaden my horizons, but I'll keep that to a minimum for now. I really enjoy drawing water and sunsets, so mixing the two is perfect for me, but I don't want to do just that.

What's bad about the third is that it doesn't have that pixel-y quality the others have on them. It's just hard to get a good texture with the diffusion brush seeing as you can't control it.
