I've been making art just for myself to look at for about the last 8 years. I have zero following online and I have no idea how to market myself for commissions.
Either way I still keep pumping out new personal projects that go nowhere but to my friends.

I would really appreciate critique on my style(s). General questions are welcomed as well.

(i'm a loser) :)

What is the current workflow of concept artists like now? Did they stop with photobashing and 3d? I don't see any concept art dude talking about their process on social media anymore for some reason

If you wanna be real and speak without throwing a tantrum, AI is excellent for trying out visual styles and quirks. 3D to quickly test out cool shots and compositions.
>>
>>7832874
Well, we also don't see many people talking about getting into the 'AAA' video game industry, or talking about getting a studio animation job these days either - the market is going through upheavals and it makes these jobs very unstable at the moment; it's a good thing that no one is advocating for these jobs when the youth are just likely to be fired from them.

It might also be because being a Concept artist and using AI is just... not glamorous in anyway... people get into the job because they like drawing, so to have drawings generated is probably just a massive turn off.
>>
>>7833139
That, and they still want to sell tutorials.
>>
>>7833139
There just aren't a lot of AAA properties that it's aspirational to work for anymore. Games and films have been almost universally safe and derivative for a pretty long time now. No one really cares to work on Call of Duty 17 or the Microsoft game cashing in on the hype of a Blizzard game cashing in on the hype of a Ubisoft game. And it's been a running theme that the concept artist community has gotten just as derivative. No one is really impressed by the Artstation guys doing circular referencing of each other's bland designs.

God, my joke number was still too low, there are 22 mainline CoD games now, 24 if you count the remasters. Industry is fucked.

larian recently revealed they used some ai generated stuff just to look at as a reference but then the final piece of art is all drawn and painted by a person
you have to remember it varies by studio depending how stylized their artstyle is but generally being able to block out a scene in Blender is pretty mandatory nowadays to cover your bases and not trip up in the doorway portion of the given project's development

some do, there's no rule, some will simply tell you to start with notan shapes and then fix anatomy mistakes with the help of a book
the main issue is retarded drooling niggers like you and many others can't comprehend the concept of a lineage and that people fall into very specific categories depending on their paths of life
with Proko he was taught by Jeff Watts who hails from the general LA area of the US which is very much focused on entertainment above all else, and if you check you can see he started working as a movie illustrator straight out of art school
so by extension anything that Jeff taught Proko and then Proko us as his audience will be unavoidably tailored towards someone striving to enter the entertainment industry, and for that you need excellent construction skills, basically be an architect except for the living forms
but that's not how all of art works, I would say not even 50% of at works like that, you almost always rely on impression/energy/"talent" whatever you want to call alongside your imagination to make a compelling piece of art, all the technical skills is mostly a nice end bonus for someone like that
so when people say art schools don't teach construction or anatomy, that's true insofar that they mostly don't do it in the same way like some faggot LA school that you probably didn't even know existed, because they don't people to enter into entertainment, they teach them to make "art"

He was a super dtar during his lifetime and made mad stacks. He just blew through it all making stupid investments, being sued by a number of people and buying tons of frivolous shit that interested him, so he became bankrupt near the end of his life. Having several lovers (two of which having been his live-in nannies, the last one a good 20 years younger than himself) and abandoning one in a jail for women after fucking her over didn't help either.

I watched a pro artist talking about that topic a few weeks ago, and he said that making money with art is more about market demand than technical skill, so you don't have to be the best artist or even skilled, you just need people that wanna buy your shit.

Why did this kind of painterly, pulpy fantasy style just completely disappear? It exists from time to time in MtG cards but even those feel different.

because the younger artists at the time declared that particular style as "Old, disgusting" so they all drew like Jim Lee, Todd McFarland, etc.

Then years later, older people became nostalgic for that old Dungens & Dragons stuff.

I always liked the rendering but the face of these dragons were gross.

This site depends on culture. The internet has no culture and so no art style really wins. Just whatever anime is currently hot.
This art in particular is pretty western and draws from specific folklore and culture, Asia has its own equivalents but since we are all online now, these styles cannot appeal to all cultures. 99%of people online will not resonate with this drawing. Which means they won't be inspired by it and they won't draw in s similar way. Same for any Chinese style or Indian style or African style.

>Buildings are plain and clothes practical
Different scenes, but even then the pulpy art you posted in OP (assuming you are OP) is way more plain then the zoomer picture. The dragon looks extremely basic, just looks different to you because modern generic dragons are wyverns with more serpentine head. The setting is just some European spruce forest and armor designs while not historical don’t look impractical. The zoomer DND pic posted there is hard to judge because it is happening in completely different setting but I agree, the generic European village buildings are boring and I would much prefer some more fantastical setting for the festival like some wood elf village or something. Also yes, it sucks a lot that they just make everything wholesome, but that trend started with millennial women disliking grimdark and calling is boring cringe before going the opposite way. Also it’s not just the beholder, tieflings while not evil are however universally hated because they are half-fiend and kobolds are like goblins but worse in every way (greedy evil pests that people kill on sight).

>>7833318
This is retarded, why can’t we have art and content that resonates within specific local groups despite having algorithms that feed us content based on our search history and viewing habits?

You should start by testing different brushes, it will take some time but you will find ones that best fit you
Next draw figure drawing so you can get used to the flow of body but mostly to the use of the pen and drawing tablet
It takes time to get used to digital art but I highly recommend the /DAD/ (Do Art Daily) and /beg/&/int/ threads they will help you out.
/ic/ has a lot of crabs(meaning people who don’t draw who pick on others) so don’t take things to heart if someone is mean to you. Keep drawing that this way you will get far

Okay. I'll take a look at these threads. ty mate

>>7833766
If you want to learn how to draw follow >>7833824
The only reason to really be here is to collect tutorials and resources from the appropriate threads. There's a real crab problem.

As for some actual advice, pick up a Cheap, Cheap Graphics Tablet. I'm assuming your American and have a money in a bank account. Pick up a Huion H420, it's only around $20-$30 and use that. It'll be a completely new experience. To get used it, use it as a Mouse Temporarily, let maneuvering and using the tablet become second nature to you like a mouse or pencil. After that, Digital Drawing should come better to you.

I'm not sure what art Program you're using, but I recommend FireAlpaca and Medibang for free Programs. That, or find a Cracked Version of CSP or Paint Tool Sai. Good Luck, OP.

What part of the adductor is this? Is this the gracilis / adductor longus?
And the triangle gap is the illiopsoasmuscle / pectinues. Am i right to assume that?
Is the gracilis/longus the only adductor to create a landmark?

Yeah, that's adductor longus.

I don't know if you would call this a landmark since it's so subtle, but where that angle of the inner thigh changes ever so slightly is where adductor magnus becomes visible.
