Outstanding.
and stop praising people who stole his style.
Just because someone invented the hammer, doesn't mean everyone else can't use it to build their homes. People like you are the catalyst for the devolution for the human race...
**But seriously I think there is a better way for you to express yourself than a quick jab at one's style...**
Hippocracy should be a crime...
By the way....this "noob" as you refer to him, just landed a job at Blizzard Entertainment....ya Blizzard...nuff said.
And here's an example of the elegance in craigs paintings: [link]
so leventep works for blizzard now, sorry but that doesn't necessarily make someone a good artist. a lot of the concept art for games is just nice for game geeks but very stereotypical and compared to the magic of craig's paintings pretty poor.
besides that, game art is not the highest form of art, put the quality of work down and it still serves the genre well, because in the end, it's all about money, and except for some legendary titles like half life 2, metal gear solid or resident evil, 99 percent of all games are anything but art.
cause who buys games? art lovers and admirers of the highest forms of it?
the average gamers are anything but that.
it's more about what sells, no matter if it looks good or if someone interested in visual aesthetics likes it or not.
I know all that from a serious source, and i know that craig already regrets that he helped all these kids like leventep, that now damage his business. they're not even half as good but cheap enough to make employers consider to hire them (money people often have not the slightest sense for the beauty of art and the most successful things aren't always the best from an artistic point of view)
i really feel for craig because he deserves so much more than some kids making cheap copies of his art style and selling it for low cash. it basically destroys the respect for art and the beauty and deepness of it.
and now i want to know what you think about that!
