So amazing :D
I love the #2 pic.
It's epic.
Pic 011... I always wanted to know who did it... thanks.
Quality Stuff
Made in China ^_^
Ironic, isn't it?
not really, china has over 1 billion people in it, if one in a million people are great then china has 1 thousand great people
China now has one great man.
I agree. China FINALLY has _one_ great man.
Probably more
For true good talent, we'll never give a shit about which country it's from
exactly.
If you're talented, your talented. If you're a good artist, your a good artist. And as it stands, this guy is a great artist. I love how the pictures look almost like they were Acrylic or Oil paintings.
Talent and skill can come from anywhere, China included. True skill and the drive to create doesn't no any bias of race or class. Where he's from doesn't matter. What matters is this guy is damn good.
My niece can draw better than him
o?
do post a linky to her stuff
For once, Schrobby can stfu.
That is some serious quality.
Damn awesome stuff.
Heck yea
China Quality
But the good "iPhone - Made in China" kind
Kick ass picks.
But chinese, eh? I guess time will tell where did he stole these from.
congratulations tunska keeping skc's retarded factor alive and kicking
Innocent until proven otherwise. Captain Picard displeased with your post !
I'm a Chinese artist and have spoken to him on Pixiv Chinese QQ chat channels. He is currently in America to my knowledge and is 19 or 20 years old. He is truly the artist and on small occasions shared his in progress works on the chat channels.
On a side note, tons of artists are from China amongst the top pixiv rankings including the following
- archlich
- sayori
- idid
- idealo
- Lin+
- geister
So on, the list is not exhaustive, but these guys really are very good at what they do.
His latest particulars list his residence as Canada (his site mentions Guangzhou) and his age as 22.
There certainly are plenty of excellent up-and-coming artists emerging from China of late (although their focus on Touhou is rather perplexing) - however it seems the environment in China itself is not exactly nurturing of artists or artistic freedoms.
Touhou's big amongst Chinese anime forum that many have a section specific for Touhou and that would infect many new users and artist. Don't know why it's big though.
It might be the fandom's built up structure allows enough leeway for their own interpretations or that the fantasy/rural nature theme allows better allows creative escape for the artist (who most likely live in towns and cities).
Well hell. I don't even get why Touhou is big at all, anywhere.
Stay classy, racist.
Oh God, he did that?! I love the evangelion ones. I have it as wallpaper for months now but never knew there were more. Granted i never looked but..
So Good!
Oh dear god in heaven, the quality.
It makes my eyes practically orgasm right out of their sockets.
It's an eyegasm. o__e"
On another note, am I the only one who looked at this pic and saw a sad god or something along those lines?

Look at it in an abstract way and you should see it too.
Archlich is awesome, been following this guy's works for a long time.
first pic, Asuka's number should be 2 not 3 but awesome nonetheless.
CHINESE QUALIT-
wait...
Amazing Art, although it is not like the Japanese version (where lots of fapping can done!).
Even so, I still love the art style.
Meh... I know that this is good stuff, but it just doesn't... excite me. hard to describe, but yeah. I don't really get much of anything from most of the pictures.
The Saber one (pic 11) and the Dragon one (Pic 22) are exquisite though.
For some reason the Belldandy and soldiers picture struck me.
Such beautiful pics ^_^
China really has no shortage of talents. The problem though, modern day China is a really toxic environment (in more ways than one) for talented folks. The society discourages innovation and independent thinkings and encourages shortcuts.
Chinese everywhere have been achieving many great accomplishments these days. Too bad few of them actually lives in China.
I would say Chinese people are genetically smarter than anglo-saxons. I've even met a down-syndrome Chinese who, aside from his physical appearance and poor language and social skills, had better cognitive capabilities than the average American.
Their harsh living environment have evolved them into resourceful and creative creatures (who could've imagined recycling cooking oil from drains? You wouldn't have known until you read the sankaku article. And garbage buildings, anyone?).
They are also the fastest learners I've ever met. Multilingual. Technology specialist and/or great business minds.
Seriously, the Chinese are a talented bunch, and are fully capable of taking over the world. Thankfully, we have the Chinese government to slow them down.
/I would say Chinese people are genetically smarter than anglo-saxons./
Unfortunately, science doesn't bear this out. There's not really such a thing as "genetically smarter". At most you MIGHT be able to say genetics can affect certain developmental disorders, but not normal intelligence. Most brain development occurs through learning and observation at very young ages. If you want to blame anything, blame American parents who sit their toddlers in front of a TV instead of teaching them to read, talking to them, showing them around, letting them listen to music, etc. A well-funded, effective public education system would be another great step, too (pipe dreams, but oh well).
tldr: Americans can be just as smart as the Chinese. *Gasp* I know, right?
Intelligence isn't really genetically based there, Hitler. Nice to see that your thinking is still from the 1940's.
Also, where are you getting your comparisons for "average" Americans?
And while I'm at it: when you have a culture that feeds their population industrial waste, that's generally not a good thing. The oil thing? That's just being disturbingly poor. My parents generally recycle their cooking oil by storing it in containers when they're done using it. If it's gotten to the point that they're willing to throw it away, by GOD you can bet there's something fucking wrong with it.
Talented, sure. But the reason they look so great is because of rampant piracy and theft. The only reason they let in foreign companies is so that they can swipe the foreign products.
There's actually a reason people don't associate "Made in China" with "Fine, High Quality Goods"
same reason along with crap American car that guzzle gas and break down often....and US college student are capable of very very stupid things..
My... american car... hasn't broken down. Ever. Sure, it acts bitchy in the cold if I don't let it warm up first, but that's all. So uh, don't generalize.
the nazis felt the same way, they thought they were smarter, History proved them wrong.
As a Chinese myself, I've heard a lot of Chinese people boasting of their superior genes. The ironic thing is that they aren't my Chinese friends who are doctors, engineers and scientists. The ones who boast of their superiority are the ones who have nothing to boast about in the first place.
i agree that china has lots of talented people but you cant blame the government for controlling these kind of situation. i think they should control the people especially in terms of freedom of expression because a sudden outburst of freedom is not good (for the country). its like feeding a baby anything he/she wants and the result is obesity which could become a bigger problem. what is needed is discipline and slowly educating the masses of people on whats right and wrong because china is really moving fast but the lifestyle and education of the majority of the people has lots of catching up to do. everything is new to them especially freedom of expression.
just read on books about china's history under chairman mao not that i hate chairman mao but maybe he did something wrong along the way same with philippine's ferdinand marcos. these are great leaders there ideas are good but along the way they just slipt.
@ pic #2
He's not lacking in exposure if he's got involved with doing illustrations for Tora no Ana. No surprise for the awesomeness after that.
best art ever nothing iv seen even compares
I know my opinion shouldnt be biased just cuz hes Chinese... and I dunno if hes a person who id respect either...but I at least can admire his drawing skills....
well China got lots of people...they got talanted ppl from time to time..
He needs to work on strengthening his focal points, and it's a little loose for my tastes... but in all this is one great artist! Very talented.
Yay! This artist is featured! I've been keeping track on his works for some time!
This artist also has a Deviantart ID in case anyone wondering. The artist's works also got DA Daily for his work. Meaning,his works also been featured in Deviantart.
I thank you, good sir, for this wonderful information. A cookie for you!
*Hands a cookie*
Wait... What is his deviantart ID? It ain't archlich.
