what do y'all think of Rafa Grasetti? No. 872714

From God of War to NFTs, seems the man can do no wrong. Thoughts?

guy is a master but he basically got invited to an NFT site and his art got bought immediately by the guy who invited him, obvious scam

I think he's an amazing marketing guy. He knows exactly what nerds and geeks want, and those people have money.

As an artist, he's a great visual technician.
I don't think he ever made something significantly interesting. Although he does create a lot of shit - it's always pandering to some fanbase and it's never original.

He's one to top 3D modelers of the world, has an amazing work ethic and his wife is hot as fuck and probably gives amazing head and rides like an assault helicopter, but dude has yet to create something of his own other than a fanbase of fanbases. All luck to him, though. If someone can do it, it's probably him.

He does original art all the time if you've looked at this zbrush streams and courses, but his fan art gets the most traffic. Fan art gives the most visibility because a majority of people prefer to consume established properties instead of experimental ones that htey can't relate to. Fan art is the best and easy way for both creators and consumers to see your work.

Even on imageboards 99% of anons post fanart, not original art.

This but unironically.
As an Art director he's pretty souless. It's like a machine making things to appease, not a human being creating to express. He's very techinically endowed, but in his pursuit of trying to portrait humans best, he forgot how it feels like to be one.

I envy and admire his skill, no doubt about it. But this observation does not make my previous comments any less relevant, nor does it mean that I could do any better than him. I'm just laying down the facts here, there's no reason to pretend that I could ever do better. Rafa's been borderline obsessive-compulsive with sculpture since he was 12, his skill is undeniable. But his mark on the general spectrum of art is generic boring untasteful blemishes of pseudo grim realistic people and creatures. It does not express nor transcend, it just conveys pop-culture references in a highly edible manner. It has the same value as shein.com has in relation to Met Gala. What Grassetti does is not art, it's just industry. And there's nothing wrong with that either. In fact, I wish I could do industry half as good as he does it.

Do you see now? What you stated is as dull as a waiter telling the client to go to the kitchen and cook better than the chef if the client doesn't think the chef is a good cook.

Being a center-left dissapointed and divested in humanity It's like looking at a Looney Tunes cartoon version of reality.
The left is a sexchanged furry rabbit with rainbow pelt who tweets infuriating drawel very intentionally throwing a handgrenade into any situation.
The right is a unhinged Elmer Fudd nazi with an AR15, gasmask and knife collection who tweets spiteful hate thretening the lives of entire ethnic groups left and right.

One group is super annoying and highly unlikable and the other one is flat out evil. Both group thinks you belong to the other one and hate you equally.

You people are evil.
You support mutilation, child abuse, child mutilation, anti family, communists, ethno masochistic, marxists, and have ideologies whos body counts far outweigh anything the nazis did.
You've infiltrated every institution from entertainment to education and your only new recruits are children who you indoctrinate from a young age. You're far from just a few annoying tweets now. You're evil itself. You crossed the line a over a year ago.
I have contempt for people like you. You're not worthy of the same moral treatment.
I now understand how mass ditches of bodies become a thing. It's you. You people literally drive others insane to the point where they will commit, or excuse, atrocities against other humans because you poke and gaslight them until they lose their sanity.

>The left is a sexchanged furry rabbit with rainbow pelt who tweets infuriating drawel very intentionally throwing a handgrenade into any situation.

Your bias here is so obvious. Afford every generosity to your preferred side and non to the other. A joke of an argument.

Literally every major show, video game franchise, social media site, educational institution, scientific journal, and forum has been over run by leftists and activists. Your gaslighting only further engrains the scorched earth philosophy I have taken to your ilk.

>its just a bunch of incels buying these
>its racist because there aren't enough black nfts

Explain how *I'm* the insane one for not liking every bit of content in my life be turned into political theater and pandering to "minorities"
I'm the bad guy because I don't like having a middle finger stuck up at me everywhere I turn as a white man.
Where every bit of white culture is being commodified and cheapened and half the population either has herd like indifference to it or is actively cheering on their own subversion and domination.
Fuck me for not thinking open acceptance of genital mutilation and self delusions is appropriate or conducive to a stable society.
I guess I'm a schizo for seeing the sociopolitical undertones in this >>872746 and how they didn't just randomly decide she was going to be black.
Fuck, I must need pills for not hating NFTs because "muh enviornmental impact" and "muh racist cheap black nft drawings"

The original GoWs were somewhat of a gritty love letter to peplum films (mainly Jason and Clash of titans) specially in the design department to the point they even include the fucking skeletons ala Harryhausen in some levels of GoW II and III.This is not only me talking out of my ass but the actual devs did say that they borrowed elements from those kinds of movies.
Meanwhile nuGoW feels fucking derivative in all accounts, sure the originals were no masterpiece but they sure hadn't a five minute sequence of unskipabble "gameplay" of you bringing a goddamn log to a funeral pyre and they sure as hell did have more than one or two large enemy types.

Kris is probably a better sculptor, but is he a better artist? Hardly so.
IMHO he's even more uninspiring than Rafa. Digital portraits?
Ok, dude... thanks for replicating another media, I guess.
Can he craft art that is only possible in 3D? Probably, but he has not, so far.

Also, Kris is downright dislikeable as a person.
His feud with Grassetti is possibly the most childlike egocentric boomer behavior ever. Basically Kris said some bullshit sarcastic rant on facebook about how """" "SOME 3D ARTISTS"" "" barely do 3D and then fix everything in photoshop to make it look better. Grassetti posted something quirky on Twitter as a response. Costa got into full Karen mode and made a flurry of comments on his facebook wall. Grassetti blocked Costa. Costa created a sarcastic Instagram profile making shit 3D models and shit photoshop paintovers.
And of course, Kris is full conspiracy theory retarded. He's full old school, 2000's early internet dumb Jet Fuel cant Melt Steel Beams dumb. Chemtrail put on the atmosphere by the government lobby with the aerospace industry dumb. Ignorant about history thinking that we literally live in the worst of times and that worse times are coming dumb.

I started this post lightly but then I remembered everything I saw him post on his private group, what he said in private and all the shit he already pulled, like taking his course offline mid-term because someone pirated it. Just a weird narcissistic boomer with daddy issues. He desperately needs therapy.
