I thought it would be cool if there was a thread for those of us who are interested in the arts to post anything related, like an artist or genre you're into, work in progresses, finished pieces, music you made, ideas for works, things like that

I've been thinking about Takato Yamamoto's art a lot recently. His work really influenced me as an artist since 2009. Revisiting his art though, it irks me how well he captures everything I want to. The detail, the way he can make gruesome and disgusting things beautiful, the subtle eroticism. His craftsmanship is amazing as well. I know all I can do is practice, but it still seems like an impossible thing to get on that level.

His work:

I also have been thinking about art installations, but I don't think I have the skills to craft one. I saw some at the Hishhorn gallery and I'm slowly falling in love with them.

Useless.:smh:
Not sure if I should post some of my stuff:patrice:

That artwork by Takato Yamamoto is pretty awe-inspiring, very surreal and evocative. If you guys have some work, post it! Maybe we can use this thread to share our works and some critiques to help us get better too.
But then again I don't know if I want to share some of my stuff either :patrice:
As for some stuff I like:

By Sergey Kolesov:

sergey-kolesov-bonito.jpg


Not just very good renderings, but I like the color palette and these pieces also seem to be telling a story, like they're apart of something bigger.

Yoshytaka Amano:

Very expressive line work and brushstrokes. His art is definitely stoic and somber in tone, but also full of whimsy in terms of execution.

:damn: those guys are amazing!!!!
Since I don't want to be recognized for some stuff I did for school, I'll do something on my tablet so people open up more to the idea of posting theirs (even tho its embarrassing going first lol)

Sergey's anatomy is so strong and fluid and accurate :noah:
his palettes are well chosen and fresh as well :noah:
yoshi's forms are amazing
his art is like 'wow' when I just glance at it, but when I really sat down to look at every element, it was more like :damn: !!
