New cards and their art

[Gondorian]

Hi,
I was wondering why are new cards looking so bad? They are lowering SE art standard with each expansion.

And, even more, why every card done by Shawn Kennedy looks like this?

I think this thread may have started off on the wrong foot, and then it's got worse from there.

If you genuinely have something useful you want to offer to Wulven, you can PM it to me. I'm clueless on art, other than knowing what I like, so maybe I could learn something.

If you want to help Shawn, then send your expert advice onto him direct. It'll be taken better there, I'm sure.

If you want to lead a constructive discussion about artwork in Shadow Era ... well then I think that's best left to other people.

Does anyone want my help? My profile pic is an example of the exquisite & elegant artwork I'm capable of....

Dam!! i just love your comments hahahaha
You have the OP ability of break all the tense ambient in any thread xD

Really? The art for this set has been so far mostly excellent. And hey, at least they have artwork.

Absoluuutely agree!! the arts are cool (most of them), i only have disapprove for Unaxio Squire, but Ravagers, Twilights, Homunculus, all of them looks great
Avatar and Orphic are just awesome arts for me.

You arts are rally nice, but like u sound a bit EGO... i will give u my feedback too for move your ego comes back to the earth.
First, all your work is really good, this are just suggestions.

1) Be nice with other artists and respect the work of others =) the way how you give the feedback dont make your art better, but say a lot about your person.

2) The first image begins with an overview of incredible movement, but the background is very flat and ruins the effect of detail, like a job well begun but laziness gave you finish with the same quality that you started.

3) The second image is beautiful, but I do not feel it like the style of SE.

4) Really cool!! i like it a lot, even you gave me a idea for a new Hero with this...

I think you're right, Gondorian. I apologize to anyone I offended here, I get carried away easily.

Arcanes, egoistic or not, I still think and support what I said with opening of this thread.
Shawn gave me some feedback so I though I should return the favor. That portrait I linked was for him to note that a couple of eyes and ears isn't always enough when painting a human.

About the wolf painting - you are right there, it does ruin the movement. At a time I thought some playing with contrast and blur will be enough, but it feels weird still. I am much worse at painting landscapes than characters and it is a great challenge every time

I'm going to agree with most of the people here and echo it, i really like some of shawns drawing, but also really dislike some of them as well, i think hes good at the non-human, but the human ones i'm not a fan of, creatures, artifacts,spells great, humans.. or wolfs with chest/abs. not my favorite.

keep up the good work shawn... just no more humans :P

I don't understand this "criticize-the-artists" concept. Let's be honest, 99.9% of us can only draw like this...

....So, who are we to judge?
