Hmm... 12MIL is a bit... too much for this kind of art, man. 8D Seriously, anyone could whip up a style like this if they wanted to, which is even more sad
SRSLY
why hasn't ED screencapped comments from this thread XD
...Whining about Ramy (or any other artist, really) is a sign of being incredibly starved for attention. Why not put the effort you would have spent slandering other artists on public forums, wikis, and DA journals into a more productive outlet, such as improving your own art?
Pfft. Everything your saying is completely reliant on the belief that whining artists are either crap or unpopular on the internet, yet let's be honest- a great majority of people who openly b***h about Ramy's work tends to have enough popularity and skill to prove a point.
As for him trying to grow as an artist- frankly acknowledgment of faults does not necessarily equate to actions. His works have developed from safe to safer, from glittery people to people who simply have wings. As viewers we see absolutely no artistic change, it's just the same thing over and over and frankly it's getting to a point where it's really REALLY old. stare Heck just because some of us don't draw doesn't mean that we're blind.
I agree, Internet popularity says absolutely NOTHING about a person's technical skill or ability to succeed, and a person's reputation is based solely upon their actions- but how is this relevant at all to the people who b***h about him? Isn't it actually more relevant to Ramy instead? Nobody really gets a bad name from saying anything negative about him- since most self respecting artists hold pretty much the same stance, but Ramy's reputation on the internet is a pretty bad one, from art traces to purposeful miscategorization of deviations, down to the whole Senra incident last summer. Is it really so surprising that people find him a complete eyesore?
Besides, I think it speaks a lot when the only two people defending him so far happens to be people who draw like him.
@Luniara: There is no waste.
His own girlfriend won the auction sweatdrop
At least she should have as the end date/time of this auction has long been past.
