Massive Black

So what the fuck happened to this?
Wasn't this supposed to be the next ConceptArt.org golden age or something?

We've hit a point with the internet and how people interface with it where something like that or what it used to be is actually impossible. If you were around for all that then you can appreciate it more but all of those forum type environments like sijun and old ca.org will simply never happen again.

Fart sound man Shaddy Safadi agrees and photobashes even uglier concept art. Truly the epitome of concept art cancer

Good riddance, zero sympathy after they cucked and apologized for their logo being "offensive"

[Anonymous No.5122090]

imagine spending hours playing videogames and watching movies for that "visual library" and saving gigs of texture, studying whatever random bullshit, so many spiky cliffs, only to be trampled by coom, and at best probably only render the dirt that you've been trampled on instead of creating characters but even that is probably obsolete because of tech

There's this older guy on youtube who dresses like a cowboy and exclusively paints cowboy scenes. He's pretty good all in all, does a decent job of talking through his process and trying to help people learn to paint, but its a weird sight.

[Anonymous No.5122156]

wildlife/wild west is a pretty healthy market, you just have to know people in it and wear a cowboy hat once in a while and talk about how you're expressing the beauty of God by copying some photo of wildlife. carving is also popular in that circle.

problem with still lives is the teachers mostly do dvds aimed at retired folks who wish to try their creativity. everything that there is to teach about it is also exhausted, but then so is the same for figure drawing and that doesnt stop proko from coming up with some novel ways that he somehow convinces noobies are essential to the work.

You are right about a few things but fundamentally wrong on others. There will be a (necessary) ban on porn because it got the fuck out of hand, so what will happen will be that you will have a slew of fan-artists making barely SFW pictures and advertising their porn under the table. This is already happening with any sites that technically forbid porn, like ArtStation. If fanart does not get banned over copyright grounds, everything will be 100% barely SFW fanart. If fanart gets banned, it will be 100% generic pseudo anime looking thots. It doesn't make any difference anyway because everything will be completely chink and generic.
There will be no "next" thing, all you will ever see is the current metastasis spreading. The West is over in every possible way, give it just a few years of adjustments and we'll be the ones polluting our soil and lungs while China plays US 2.0 and spreads their retarded wuxia just like the US spread Hollywood over the rest of the world.
All I can say is that I hope the coomers and consoomers will suffer immensely. I hope you will have a second of sobriety where you realized you just let this happen without moving a finger because you kept sucking Asian dick instead of doing something yourself and you wanted to jerk off and tweet memes about popular things on social media.

Heralds the dawn. Calls light into the darkness. What was once obscure and terrifying is now defined and beautiful.
Anon, you really need to stop watching porn. It has destroyed your mind.
>>5118563
Everyone involved is old and tired. They are also behind the times and outpaced by countless other artists in the field now. Maybe they always were, it's just back during conceptart dot org the best in the field weren't as visible online as they are now.
>>5119774
I was around then. I think it was overrated. Not much useful information compared to what we have now. Back then it was just "draw 24/7" to git gud. Endless grinding of studies with a lack of direction and purpose.

First of all “traditional” is not a medium, it’s many mediums, and second if the context is professional work, which I assume it is since concept art is a job and not a genre of art, then traditional art is not even remotely more popular than digital
