I wish I could draw like this.

I just wanted to say, my first post here was

He starts out with such simple and plain compositions, lightings and design that no matter how much detail he puts into the paintings, they still aren't very good. He's good at painting, yeah, but not a great artist.

Similar to what crazy harijsaid.

I was attacked by Erestheux, and like any normal person, felt the need to defend myself.

An now I'm a cocky dick. Yay.

 

[TheSomeone]

You're entitled to your own opinion, of course, everyone is. But trying prove how he's an inferior artist? That's just going to far, imo

Okay then, tell Eres not to ASK me to prove how I think he's an inferior artist. And you completely missed my point with the first part of your post.

Simple lighting? eh? Design? What the hell are you going on about?

Yeah, those look like question marks to me.

And don't act like it wouldn't have been any worse if I had simply said "I think he's a bad artist" without mentioning why. People get so personal about art even if it's not their own, you should try to understand why I think he's a bad artist rather than trying to shut me down.

All I want is to agree to disagree, why are you all bent on my conversion? I explained why I think he's a bad artist, I explained that I didn't like his compositions, I explained that I didn't like his lighting, what else do you want me to do? These are things I study in and out of class, and now that I apply them to the critique of someone else work and in the guillotine I go. He's a good painter, I'll never deny that, but I just don't think his work is good. It's like elevator music. It's pretty, but it's "so what".

A good piece of art doesn't have to be amazingly complex, it doesn't need to be photorealistic, it doesn't have to be completely unique or strange. To say anything other than that is bad is just.. well... I just feel sorry for you. Fantasy isn't my style. I've no interest in dragons, or trolls, but I can appreciate these paintings of them.

Exactly

Take this for example, pop art, the shading? non existant, the colours? simple, exaggerated, primary colours, the composition? pretty simple by your standards

but do i like it? hell yeah

 

[TheSomeone]

Just leave me alone. None of you even tried to understand what I was trying to say.

You've been repeating yourself for a while now. I think we understand your view just fine. We just think you were acting kind of douchy, as Ennui might say. And not that I feel the need to say this, but I dont think anyone asked for you to critique his art. You should know that not everyone wants to be critiqued, and you should have respect for that, even if the artist isn't reading our posts. We don't want to hear it, so keep it to yourself, or post it in your blog, or journal, if you have one.

better than most on this website? hah you havent met TDE

Yes, I have. That's why I said "most."

...

TheSomeone, I don't understand you. You defend Eatbug's horrible crap and insult an artist that is many times more talented and practiced than yourself, myself, and I'm sure most people that you and me have ever come in contact with.

You probably want me to waste my time making numbered responses to your ridiculous opinions and bullshit. So here I go, just for you.

1. I'm not ****ing Absinthe, moron. I'm Erestheux. See that thing above my post? That's my user name.

2. As Angry Lawyer said, who made you the overlord of what appealing art is? I think its quite appealing. Go **** yourself. You're not a professor of the arts.

Yeah, I can't do as good, but I'm 10 years younger than he is. It's not about my ego, let go with your lame ad hominems.

3. I never insulted your artwork at all. It seems like you want me to, but I won't because that has NOTHING to do with your post or my post or any posts in here. You're allowed to criticize artists that are better than you, just as you are allowed to criticize artists who are not. However, you're not allowed to compare artists for no reason, and in the process insult them. You can say you don't like it, I don't give a shit if you like it or not. But you were obviously just going along with what other people in this thread were doing -- comparing him to some other random artist, and as a result insulting him for no rhyme or reason and saying he was "bad..." Which has nothing to do with this thread. And what does age have anything to do with it, anyways?

4. You can ramble your crap about composition all you want. You seem to want it to be this exact thing, which it is not. His style of work happens to be focused on a single person or character most of the time. Like character concept art, maybe? And much like a portrait. There's a foreground, middleground, background, and a single focal point in the example I gave. (Usually there is one focal point in a work of art, just to let you know. It is what the viewer looks at first.) Good enough composition for me. Look at his skeleton marine drawing. That's just as good composition as whatever the hell else you posted, as well. Because for some reason works of art have to contain more than one person (??) and focal point (??) and span a bigger area (??). Flat? What the HELL are you on about? There's plenty of depth in that for me. Doesn't look flat at all. I'm just confused.

You can't compare artists. Especially those with much, much, much different styles of art. And as I said, I wouldn't care if you just didn't like him. But you were a dick about it.

 

[TheSomeone]

Oh don't worry, Ill be damned if I ever critique anyone's art here unless I get a direct request. I'm not a masochist.

lol

I see you edited something out of your post. I was gonna say. I never attacked anyone here.

EDIT: And no, YOu probably shouldn't have wasted your time because as you said yourself, you don't understand me. The least bit.

 

[Yuri]

lol

You seemed to think I was attacking you specifically with my first post, which I wasn't. And then you flipped out and attacked me and everyone that said your critique was stupid and pointless.

Oh don't worry, Ill be damned if I ever critique anyone's art here unless I get a direct request. I'm not a masochist.

And please do whine about it like you always do and take everything offensively from the internet. You're quite a sensitive person, you know?

EDIT: And no, YOu probably shouldn't have wasted your time because as you said yourself, you don't understand me. The least bit.

You sound like a goddamn dumbass goth, dude. I understand what you said. Go ahead and don't like the artist, I don't give a shit. Jeez.

 

[TheSomeone]

Yes, I'm sensitive. Please leave me alone.

 

[Yuri]

Yes, I'm sensitive. Please leave me alone.

Its a forum, dude. You need to take it waaay less seriously.

 

[TheSomeone]

And I apologize if I was being a dick here, really. I got carried away.

 

[nofx]

Blah this dude is ok as an artist. Nothing about his work really gets me to jeer though.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Just because it's not the kind of artwork you find pleasing doesn't make it any worse a picture, or him a bad artist.

The curse of the aspiring artist. Anything you actually can spot flaws in, is complete and utter shit. "I can do better than that".

I can't say if it's bad or good, but it's a sign of dedication. Just make sure you actually evolve artistic-wise and you'll become more humble.
