>>7968323Did he do the Yoshi too? Because the Yoshi is sick.The Pokemon one is rough but it’s still better than most of /ic/.
>>7968325Still better than most /ic/ is not really an insult you think it is nowadays since nobody here draws. Better to compare against Jazza/Irshad
>>7968325the Yoshi looks passable and there's official renders that look similar in style, explains why this is their most liked anythingand I am kind of ragebaiting because I don't actually hate the rest of their output, it's just kind of baffling and endearing at the same timethey had a pretty cool inktober run with this graphic sort of style but when comes to the everything else it's like something straight out of the 2016 DeviantArt front page and Rapoza's older shit>dude hyperrealistic patrick and mario
>>7968332>their>theyThat is clearly a dude, my friend
Tbh anon, maybe he just understands his audience. Normies think realism = good. A cheap way to emulate realism is to create a high contrast in values. Large value gaps also take far less skill to teach. Seems to me he knows his audience is beg and just want to paint "good" without really knowing or caring about what "good" means. You think he'd be as popular as he is if he was explaining value ranges and color gamuts? Lmfao. You're almost as retarded as his audience.
>>7968332I really do hate the 'what if cartoon character... BUT REALISTIC WHOAH!' gimmick so many artists try.We get it, mario would look creepy if he was real, as would any cartoon character. It was funny the first time, I don't need to see it done with every damn character.
>>7968323Shitting on social media randos isn't going to make you any less of a nodraw, anon.I'd say pyw, but I already know you have none.
>>7968323Kinda sad how people don't want to READ tutorials anymore they just want to watch video slop because its easier.In a way seeing someone draw something via video can be helpful, but not if they are doing it wrong, even worse if the guy doing it wrong is popular.
>>7968332This guy's the artistic equivalent of a panda or something, this type of hyper realistic rendering has been killed because this is what AI does but better
>>7968323>meanwhile their actual paintings look like THATTHAT is better than 97% of current /ic/ anon
>>7968332Really sad if it’s not ai. He learned how to do the one (1) thing ai is really good at, over rendered and off model intellectual property.
>>7968323the forms arent bad on the pokemon one but the rendering is pretty rough. would look better as a drawing or with more detailed rendering. yoshi looks good.
>>7968332It's thanks to guys like him that AI looks like slop, you should be grateful
>>7968323I love it. Big early 00s American attempting Anime vibe. Wouldn't want to learn from the guy. This is a test the universe puts out before you occasionally to see if you've learned how to avoid scammers.
