No no no no. It's not stabbing! I just said I like older designs better! This is not BAD, of course, it's still nice but there are lots of things that you could easily fix, seeing what you've done with other designs!.

Wrong, this is not easy, at any time :)
Any of the things you would want on this images would have taken 10 hours of work for me.

I mean, it's just i don't find the criticism you do really friendly. I wouldn't look at your art and tell you "hey, this is not enough, you should have worked more on that !"... Cause it's your work and your time. I take it as it is, like it or not. I can tell what i like or not, but i'm not going to tell you "this is not enough", cause you don't owe me anything, see ?

I just did a lemmings picture that seemingly pleased a lot of people and some of them told me it was ma best work, like one week ago ! I'm not a machine :D

The Ecco one is not heavily detailed (but it's not blurry on my computer) but it's a good rendition of what the game was in my mind. my art isn't a contest of details everywhere. it's more a feeling thing....

No harm !
I just want some leniency ;) Every art won't be great ! And i won't certainly do "mario world" every day. I can't really top that.

As for Mickey and Donald, i found it bad if you want to know !

What kind of elements are you trying to capture though? Some seem like gameplay, while others seems more like what m0dus is doing, which is capturing a moment

Well it's always gameplay for me, but a videogame is matter of mood and "moment" for me as well :) At least it's still "ingame" where m0dus does artwork in a cinematic feel, with angles that doesn't suits the original gameplay. His work is more about illustration and mine is more about mockup.

At last !
Sorry it this is disappointing, my skills was not enough for this one^^
But i'm happy with it cause it's a good look at what i would like to sse as a FFVI remake, with side view all the way and original art in a Odin Sphere style shading !

The Kid Icarus one will be on IGN Insider shortly i guess.

Little note : When you're passing here and you like something, don't hesitate to bump it a little :) It's the exposure on NeoGAF that brings me most opportunity, clearly ! neoGAF has some weight !

I came here to post something, but I can't.

Take that as a positive thing Orioto.

Have you ever thought about doing some piece from western games? Also are these all games you have played, or are some just based on a feeling from screenshots and such?

Lol but in my opinion it's bad cause it's not magic enough. I just did a good background and put Mickey and Donald on it, but it lacks enemies, magical tunic and all that !

But hey, if people are pleased with it, as they are it seems with the Ecco one and the FFVI one, i did my job !

I can understand this, being an animator and all. Sometimes I do things that are half finished in my eyes and people seem to love them to death.

I think thats what i like about it honestly, the fact that its very basic(in design). Having all the hoopla is nice, but sometimes a mood is conveyed more fiercely through a simpler perspective, which doesnt always mean simplified skill.

It's indeed good, but.. and don't take this very bad... you should stop talking so good about everything you do. Maybe you are joking, dunno, but it makes you sound a bit like a douchebag (I know you are not).

You know a lot of artists out there keep saying their stuff suck, even if they don't think so, just so people goes all "no dude it's pretty awesome!!". So yeah..

Not saying you are one of those. In fact I don't come all that much to this thread so I've never seen you posting that, but I've seen you posting some things that for someone who didn't know you, would sound quite like a douchebag.

Well sorry, i can't say my art is bad, i can't say it's good, i can't talk about it i guess...
I will just shut up.

There is a thing about "an artist as to be humble and say thx to any criticism" that i find totally dumb and mentally retarded. It's childish thinking actually.

I can speak about what i like or not in my work, and this shouldn't be a problem for anyone's sensitivity...

And you don't really know me so i guess i have to read between the lines that you think i'm a douchebag Mik2121 :)

Wat?

I don't really know you like a.. friend. But we have talked a few times via msn and I don't think you are not a douche. I just said for someone who just saw this thread for the first time, he might think you are a bit of a douche.

And I'm not saying you can't say your art is good or bad. I said a lot of people talks bad about their good stuff just to get praised. I didn't say you do that, and it's good to know what stuff is good and what's bad.

And saying thanks to any criticism isn't childish, it's just educated. One thing is saying thanks to the criticism, another thing is really "caring" about each criticism. That's where you have to know how to distinguish between criticism that can help you out, criticism that's just meant to "insult" and criticism that while is meant to help, it just doesn't. But saying thanks isn't childish at all.

Indeed, but it's the "be humble and NEVER EVER have the least own satisfaction, nor the least confidently on your work publicly, or you should be immolated by fire" that is childish. I know a lot of wannabe artist on deviantart think like that ! It's the same that think we shouldn't criticize movies or high art cause it's beyond us lol.

But no problem, i don't want a drama here ;)

_There is no problem with criticism

_I'm ofently disappointed by my own work, cause the way i work, i'm my own audience if you like, so i must be "impressed" by what i do. This is just the weird way i work in my head. So wuen people are like "you would have done better", i'm all "hey i know.. what do you want, i gave up ! sue me !"

_If your comment and the raging one felt bad for me, it was just the bad timing, and let's say it seemed a little hard and unfriendly, as in a little cold and distant. But's that's just me.

_if i was a wrestler, i would be a coky heel, without any doubt !

That's basically what I said, and quite different from what you first said :p

Then why do you do "crappy" things even though you know they are crappy and you could fix it if you spent a bit more time? You say it's because you don't want to spend more time, but you know that QUALITY is way more important than QUANTITY, right?

Anyway, I'm not saying any of your stuff was bad, well... I said it was bad compared to other stuff you've done, but even then, it's not bad when compared to lots of stuff out there.

Well, cause again, mi goal on a picture is not specially the "perfection" of its technical aspect.
I wouldn't submit an art that i would find "crappy".

There are some lacking (and i fucking said that even in the deviant comment !) but the FFVI picture is good for what i intended to do, personally. And again, i shouldn't be discussing my motivations or my goals, and i will look like a douchebag again :p

But do you have drama about what time you worked on your art Mik2121 ? Do people blame you for your "not hard enough" work when you do an art ?

This thread has turned a really weird direction and I just wanted to say keep up the great work orioto. I know you don't need to share any of this stuff with us, but I think it is fantastic that you do and are so open to suggestions as far as what you will create. It is much appreciated and no, you do not need to explain yourself and hell you should ignore people who tell you to "work a bit harder" on any piece.

Thx, well i don't ignore them cause i like what they do, that's the worst part :D
But there is no real drama, i know Mik2121 is a love and is just doing that to keep my thread on first page:D

The FF3 art is great. One of my favs. Great work Orioto.
Thx, that's when i hear something like that that i think "it wasn't s bad after all, there must be something that works in it !"

But it doesn't make raging and Mik's comment less true :) This just confirm me that my goal was somewhat achieved.

Hey Orioto you know I <3 ya, and the piece is good, like I said before. Im just noting areas for improvement in the future and it seems like you agreed with them, so thats good to hear. I know we as artists always take criticism personally, but please remember that its all in the interest of you gathering even more fans :) I thought the Ecco piece was amazing, for the record

The fact that one, two, three, or even ten people don't like a painting doesn't mean it's bad at all. It is you, mostly, that must feel that you did a good job, and be happy about it...
Especially when you have like a hundred other people saying that you did a good job...

By the way, maybe some of you already saw it but the Kid Icarus picture is on IGN Insider since Yesterday ! Really pastel one.

Dude I understand you wanting to defend your hard work and everything, but I wouldn't even bother with them, your art speaks for itself, your the shit! And your art is the shit!
The FF3 art is seriously fucking spectacular!
 
Incredible art...they capture the moments in the corresponding game perfectly. I can't decide which to set as my wallpaper though...heh. Can't wait to see what you do next!

So you can pick my next work, but make sure it's a retro game !

I thought it was a cloud of smoke in a desert! Now you mention it, it does look like a Rhino or Elephant foot....

How many games have Elephants?

Edit - checked the filename hoping for clues..... Something tells me we aren't getting much from "hehe1.jpg" though.

EDIT EDIT - Mega late, already lost. Well played dfyb! Looking forward to seeing the full thing Orioto!

You can pick from Pong to 32 bit generation !
