That's pretty nice. Mind posting a pic of the black mage?

Dammit

>>997723
Oh, and are you planning on doing all the classes from FF?

kinda lacks texture, and it isn't centered.

honestly it looks like something a high school freshman paints because he had to.

>>997723

>>997729
Doin it cause it's fun, jackass.. I'm not really artistic

>>997732
Cool, I like it. You're 0/2 on rotating the images correctly, though.

>>997725
Yeah, or at least 4. The walls in my mancave are pretty bare so I'm trying to liven it up a little

>>997719
>>997724
That's really nice anon. Would hang on my wall.

>>997735
painting faux pas lesson #1:
mix your colors, painting straight out of the tube is something even amateurs usually don't do

>>997737
I know. For some reason my phone doesn't post em the correct way, even when I rotate it..

hey anon this isn't reddit get your kindergarten project outta here

>>997719
Looks nice

>>997756
Lol I'll prolly quit posting em until I finish the whole project.

>>997737
0/3. OP pic in last thread was forced bedtime, too.

>>997719
red Mage PLS
also the wizard tier

>>998335
Op here, the plan is to do 2 more and Chaos on a big canvas.

white mage is a man

this is consistent with what we know about 8bit theatre's black mage so dont even disagree

>>998818
We shota now?

>>998818
I always thought it was a dude. Pretty sure FF1 is a complete sausagefest. So in later installments, they FIX'D it by adding so many luxurious waifu's.

>>998818
White mage was depicted as a man in the guide that came with FF1, particularly the White Wizard class.

I mean, look at him, he looks like some Viking Priest of Thor who cares the hammer of his patron deity, smiting the shit out of evil and stuff he doesn't like.

>>998818

>that brushwork

plz stop artisting

>>999481
This. They look like shit.

I've seen elephants who paint better.

Literally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He7Ge7Sogrk

Just joking, OP. Keep practicing and you'll get better.

I kind of wish there was a demand for traditional artwork, it'd be fun to do some commissions that way. Price-wise I just can't find any way to make it competitive with digital artwork.

>>999805
is that real
goddamn

Nice stuff, OP.

>>999826
Proper oil paintings still sell for a lot.
I remember some drawfag from /tg/ who sold a pretty mediocre warhammer painting to some anon for more than 500$.

It's just that it's a very unsafe market so you have to be really good and have some regular customers in order to make a living from it.

Digital art isn't that much safer though.
There's so many artists out there that you're pretty much stuck with freelance work.
Next to no one hires permanent artists anymore.

>>999830
I'm not sure personally.

It might very well be that they simply train the elephants to repeat motions in order to get peanuts or something.

I was pretty stumped when the elephant re-inforced a thin line,
but the flower leaves me very sceptical.

Of course one might argument that you have to teach them how to paint to a certain degree,
because how would they figure out how to do it otherwise?
A young human child wouldn't be able to figure out how to paint figuratively on it's own as well.

But did the elephant consciously paint an elephant?
It's certainly not an easy question.

>>999953
Or you're a cheap thieving bastard.

>>999935
Op here, that's fucking awesome.

>>998919

Looks like a woman to me.

>Digital art isn't that much safer though.

You'd be surprised. Artists who cater to autists make boatloads of money. That's why so many artists got sucked in to doing purely MLP commissions for all the horsefuckers' original characters: each character follows a very basic, easy to draw Flash Animation template with only two or three special things (usually hair, an accessory, and that flank mark), and people get mad if you deviant from that cheap-looking style. Anybody can do it, and lots of really good artists get lost to it.

Before that, Sonic commissions where the go-to for getting money form autists, and before THAT (Sonic autism hit a fever pitch with Sonic Adventure), it was Yoshis

>>1000496
So you like your women with a Batman jawline?

>>1000725

>before that it was Yoshis

Wasn't it Pokemon/Gardevoir?

>>997746
What is fauvism

>>999991
Watching other videos it's clear that the elephant learned how to paint an elephant holding a flower. On the other hand, even learning how to do that needs a higher form of intelect because not even some humans can draw that well. Not to mention the motor skills to do so.

>>1002464
I don't know.

>>1000725
Well, sure. You could make money off of kids and retards.
OR you have integrity and/or want to do real art.

My commission policy is that you order MY art.
Not someone else's. I don't copy styles.
Also ponies and furries are right out.

>>998516
Make Multiples. I said it in the Black Mage thread but I would be more than happy to throw money your way for one/some, and I'd be willing to bet I'm not the only one, if you're willing to put in the time that is.

Either way, really enjoy these, looking forward to seeing more

>>997719
Thin your paints.

>>1000496
>>1002227
yeah, look at the jawline man and the stoic look in his eyes. dude's so male he casts testosterone.

>>1000496
does this look like a woman to you as well? same hair length and profile.

>>997747

That black mage is a lot sloppier than the white one but it looks better. Even though the dithering on that cloak was probably just the result of you not knowing how to colour consistently, it makes it look a lot better.

What you need to work on before you start painting is shapes. One look at those hands and I can tell you either don't draw or haven't drawn for long. Pick up a pencil and start with minimalist cartooning. It will give you the opportunity to work on your basic shapes and line work.
