The way this guy animates his art gives me no shortage of motivation. I need this man's skill to draw tits flopping about like this. His divine inspiration to draw a face so condescendingly smug, yet also seductive and alluring... Bippew is a god among men, truly.

Even when He did capeshit, it was goated

Eigaka, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Ei-ga-ka: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the velum to tap, at three, on the palate: Ei-ga-ka.
He was Eig, plain Eig, in the morning, standing six foot on the dot on one foot. He was Eggaka on his egaku board. He was Eigakarts on his banned twitter. He was Eiggy on his doted discord server. But in my arms he was always Eigaka.

Unironically. It is certainly helps that the mfer is from my region, life is hard for East Slavs and it's extremely pleasant that one of us managed to escape the hellhole and achieve his dreams. Even before the 2022 invasion life did not look good, but with the invasion a lot of people suffered and dropped off the radar. Russians can't even work on commissions anymore, for example, PayPal simply stopped working there. Westoids have no idea how privileged they are for the opportunity to pursue art in stable developed countries

Nice saggers

So much in this thread is impressive in a technical sense but just does not speak to me at all. And then others feel like they're attempting to perform depth rather than being so. Stuff that does not grab me for more than a few seconds.

I feel no genuine connection looking at such pictures. It seems like a lot of polish and shine over a hollow nothing. Or makes me mildly annoyed that I feel I was tricked into fullviewing something that was not worth my time (despite fullviewing almost every image here.)

Ironicly OP's pic gives me waaay more of an emotional resonance, even though I've seen it before in both that and the ice cream version while several of the images here are new to me.

>>7558271
find something that speaks to you then anon, the world is your oyster

>>7559732
I do, I just find it a bit weird what speaks to others. And I guess just how so many of the posts here are either not specific about why they like it.

For example, this one I enjoy looking at. I don't want to paint like this, and it's obviously something that was done with a measure of speed in mind. But I really like how well everything was fit in, how despite the messiness you can clearly identify each character. There's even "hidden" ones - the more you look the more find. The artist REWARDS you for your continued investing of your time in the picture. And despite this being a weird blending of anime and semi-realism, it works.
There's also a lot of discomfort in the picture, but in a good way - the viewer knows what's about to happen. The characters look just as awkward and uncomfortable being there, in a time and place that isn't actually their own, almost as if they feel something is wrong too.

Except for one, who stares directly at the camera, right off one of the big focuses.

The colors I think could be a little better IMO but it's almost there. Either a bit more warmth in the shadows or chilling out the bits of warm spots that were added to harmonize things a bit more. But as it stands those are small enough errors that I think it doesn't take too much away from how the color choices both give an impression like some of the old photos from the JFK assassination while also adding more of a chilly anxiety to the piece.

>>7558128
Yeah, im in the same boat
he's fucking insane at painting and shape language

>>7559995
Yup. I mainly have a better compatibility with round and soft brushes, so i'm learning how to use square textured brushes like he does so i can integrate it on my workflow. The way he places the brush strokes makes the character look so real and well grounded.

It's so much eye candy, makes you wanna stare at it 24/7.

what you’re looking for is called visual storytelling and yeah it’s a fun approach to art and it’s why khyleri’s art is widely appreciated as an artist because normies could easily comprehend stories more than technically impressive art

>>7561761
>khyleri’s art is widely appreciated as an artist because normies could easily comprehend stories more than technically impressive art
The art relates itself to real life events and popular anime. I don't think its technicality is why normalfags like it

>>7561761
>visual storytelling
Hm I guess that is more of what I look for yea. "Technically impressive art" to me... isn't. It feels adjacent to those "drawing a perfect circle" videos, or TLOU2 being praised by a circle jerk of devs and 3d artists because of a specific scene where a shirt is taken off.

Maybe this is the real difference of "soul vs soulless"? Someone grinding entirely on technical skill but don't work on their storytelling, so their art literally "lost the plot".

look upon imhentai or e-hentai, the artist is Umezawa Itte (buckethead)

I wish I could find the image but one I weirdly hold close to me is d/ic/k saying "None of us are going to make it, just draw."

Most of my inspiration posts are either anime or some weird yet cool art like >>7561750 but that one image just stays in the back of my mind. Just doing it because it is fun.

Not an artist but a commissioner. I found this guy posting his OC on /i/ and I work toward making a character with the same fun energy.

I checked it before I made the post and sadly it isn't there. I believe it was in a boardsona general thread.

I like this a lot and hope to be able to do stuff like this someday.

This artist's style is simple but their composition is so good that they stand out to me. Gives me inspiration to stay the course and master the fundamentals instead of fucking off and drawing tiddies all day.

What's the point of making such a detailed drawing with so much color work if no one is going to give it importance? No one knows about this comic.

>>7587964
You know what, you're on to something. NTA but reading your comment made me realize that the amount of effort put into the first several panels here is... excessive. Like I barely looked at those. There's nothing really going on, no characters that stand out as important, no necessary information we know to look for, and nothing to draw the eye to take it in. "Ye people on a ship in the 1500s or whatever" is all that it amounts to.

It reminds me of how some movies, including animated ones, open. Not really sure if that's a wise usage of the comic format.

>>7587964
>>7587968
though if i cracked it open and saw amazing art like this i’d buy it right there, just for that.

(not that work with a style of extremely limited strokes can’t be incredible, too)

>>7557392
Hell yeah. I’m surprised to see Frazetta here. Glad not everyone is an anime obsessed FAGGOT

>>7587747
He's a fat white tech industry guy who's done contract work with Israel which probably fuels his hate of Israel and neocons which is secondary to his enjoyment of poking at social progressives / leftists.

He has an equal amount of comics calling out Trump as he does giving them an credit but people dont share those. In general he just goes for shock and pot stirring.

>>7587964
>What's the point of making such a detailed drawing with so much color work if no one is going to give it importance? No one knows about this comic.
this is genuinely such a revealing comment and i feel sorry for you. you're like those faggots who post here about how they want to be an artist but have to bully themselves into drawing at all.

>>7587968
it's called setting a tone retard

Like I said, people don't really cycle his anti Trump comics (given that his friends are pro-Trump and they're less edgy). Stonetoss changed his mind on Trump half way through his first term and that shouldn't be hard to conceptualize unless you have chronic direction brain.

AI had to learn stuff for (((masterpiece))) from someone.
Like ipuusan (pic related).

>>7600474
Funny because ipuusan uses AI. He was on a break while the AI shit was starting in 2022-2023 and when he returned his artstyle and composition completely changed. Look at his work pre break and post break. It's like night and day.

>>7557368
Based. I drew a copy of one of his images, although it didn't come out very well imo.

As long as there are people that oppose AI art, there will be a market for real artists. Even now, companies that use AI Art risk cheapening their product.
The consumer doesn't want it, yet techbro billionaires keep pushing it because they have invested a mind-boggling amount. A trillion dollars, more money than what can currently be achieved with AI models. It is going to be fun when the bubble pops.
Unrelated, I feel that AI art incentivizes me to improve. AI art itself is inherently lazy, to be better than AI art is to not be lazy.
>Artists should keep politics out of their art.
b8 and or you have never consumed a piece of media.

>>7557115 (OP)

>>7606701
>As long as there are people that oppose AI art, there will be a market for real artists.
Correlated, but not causally linked.
The market for non-AI artists is only related to the market for AI artists in that there is a small set of repulsive clients who only pay for art because they "need" it for some larger project or business, and don't much care who does it. They suck because they typically only see the artist as an impediment to getting what they want, and would happily use a stock image if it were viable for their brand.
Those are the primary kinds of people who "replace" artists with AI. They would have replaced an artist with a cheaper artist if they could find one as well.

They do not make up most art clients. The amount of people willing to pay for art is not contingent on whether or not they like or hate AI art - plenty of people both buy comms and still like (some even generate) AI art.

>>7612949
>soft power
I don't think most people around the world want either the kinds of leadership that would do the american MIC's bidding in exchange for such rancid deals, or subversive NGOs, journalists and shell companies being propped up by american interests. This isn't a LvR issue, this is a top-down vs bottom-up issue, just that it's mostly eroded the L-top control while leaving a lot of R-top control (which is mostly military power) in place so the whole L-side is mad.

>>7612977
You just dropped a bunch of backronyms that I have no clue the meaning of but I guess it’s easy for you to talk when you don’t need to worry about your life being ended the next day in a genocide to *checks notes* “save the white race”.
What I am concerned about is public space being filled with the ambient assumption that if you’re against something you should definitely be for someone who poses themselves as an opposition. For example, bunch of south Americans dislike USA, and they see Russia as having beef with it, and they assume that they ought to be friendly with Russia. Now I’m sitting here, knowing that Russia is pure evil, thinking oh neat, no more Voice of America.

Posting more art that makes me feel nice to counterbalance. Please do not reply without sharing art relevant to the thread topic, else I will just assume you're a tourist trolling.

>>7613034
I was trying to be concise but I will expound upon it. Anti-authoritarianism is on the rise and there's a big ol tug of war going on. A lot of americans are either "anti-interventionist" (middle/all), "america first fuck everyone else focus on here" (right wing), or "anti-imperialist"/"anti-colonialist" (left wing). A huge chink of the US wants to pull all or most of the money and influence out, either for selfish reasons or our of concern that the US is being an evil overlord over the rest of the world. What has happened is that this was partially done, and it has both freaked out the pro-authoritarian types, and - because much of it was done in a partisan way - the entire left wing. Because the pro-authoritarian left wing sees this as them losing their share of influence, while the anti-authoritarian left wing is split between seeing this as bolstering right wing authoritatians and a minority being begrudgingly happy that it's reducing US power.

Does that clear it up?

>Russia
Russia proved they can't do shit when their victory day parade had only an single ancient tank because they threw their entire military into a meatgrinder. They were jazzed up as being this great and powerful evil but it turns out they only have a seat at the table because of nukes and can't really project power.

>genocide to save the white race
You probably have a greater chance of dying in a lightning strike or from a heart attack than getting genocided, by magnitudes.
