Which one is better? Both are official art but the right is a remake done a decade later by a different artist.

Left IS better, the sharper contrast makes it more interesting, that really strong yellow on the eagle stands out while everything kinda has the same tone on the right picture despite the bigger amount of details. Also left one feels more expressive, the screaming viking is conveyed better.

Yet most people said right, but that´s what you´d expect of the /ruanjia/ board.

The left one is so poorly rendered in comparison to the right it's fucking embarrassing. The composition is slightly better and the viking seems slightly more animated - but the actual technical skills that went into rendering the painting are absolutely disgusting. Just look at the feathers near the talons - they're blurring and unappealing. The colours are muted and the lighting looks like ass. Also, what the fuck is wrong with the actual viking? He's like half-way-standing on the poor bird. Anatomy is shittier.

tl;dr If you're a fan of the left you're ngmi

Excessive bloom on the other hand is used as glitter by every kitsch hack to ever exist. And if it's used by a decent artist it's barely noticeable 99% of the time.

That said the head feathers in the left one look more soft because they aren't as detailed. I'm sure the artist didn't get it intentionally because the rest of the painting is much rest skilled, but he managed to get a subsurface scattering effect on the head feathers and that's why people like it more ITT.
Right, regardless of skill or taste, reads better. Horrible design in both cases.

Right certainly looks more modern, and more visually clear. The crisp rim lighting especially pops. You don't always want maximum clarity though. Sometimes a softer look can be more subtle, has a desirable character, etc. So in most ways it's a matter of preference.
That said I pick right because the figure looks better. The black shadows on the figure to the left look worse in comparison, and pull too much attention.

the left even tho the coloring lacks sharp edges, the lighting and color choices are much better. the lighting on the right looks way too strong, and it doesnt even look like the characters are in the environment they are placed in. also they look way too stiff due to the posing and the weird rimlighting which makes it look like its some kind of glowing statue.

Left has the classic early digital painting with dodge and burn look where as the right actually in some ways is more reminiscent of 80's/90's fantasy illustration done in traditional media. Not all illustration is done in painterly naturalist manner, the "everything has the same level of detail" style of rendering can be valid.

Right reads much better as a thumbnail, but is overdetailed and overrendered, and the left's bird has better colors. Left's dude is both shiny and terribly muddy and right is significantly better overall. I vote right but not by a whole lot. They both have issues.

>>3877090
Left by far. Right is oversaturated and loses a sense of weight and flow in all of the fabrics. Left is also an absolute unit.
