Welcome to my profile!

I'm an animation student and a digital artist, leanning into digital illustration, concept, character and creature design, analogic animation, storyboardism, videogames and cinema, amongst others.

My core, most usual themes are fantasy and horror.

1. Art is objective.

2. Theres good and bad art.

3. There are levels for art.

4. Not everyone can be an artist.

5. Capacity to create art is inhate. It needs talent.

6. Critics are good and a form of encouragement even from a bad place.

7. Not accepting this is mediocre.

@Funny30924688 You are the vivid representation of my point 7

When my art actually improves after studying anatomy and it’s not just a government psyop to make me waste my time

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton Yeah thats talent, I dont get why you all get triggered

Loads of people draw, but most of them dont improve due to lack of inhate capacity

The same happens in any other discipline, profession, job, etc

There are persons who simply excede

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton Mine too, so?

There are people who have talent and others who dont. Simple.

Finding your style is what everyone in this discipline usually does

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton My god, why are art communities this afraid of speaking up for themselves and defending their skills

This is why I love videogame communities, no one is remotely scared to critic others for playing poorly

I can say whatever I want, plus reality backs me

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton @moksha_prakriti @midnightire @cyberjudos My version of Clifford looks more realistic than yours tho.

About the teenagers, i wasnt even competing with them, they started the agression trying to bully me in a group

Im well aware of my skills, and I know not everyone can draw like I can so 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton @moksha_prakriti @midnightire @cyberjudos I dont consider abstract "art" like Mondrian's the best parameter to say if someone is good or not at art, thats why the best painters in history are mostly hyperrealic ones

If we were talking about cinema or videogames, okay, you can get more experimental there

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton @moksha_prakriti @midnightire @cyberjudos Well my point was to do it overly detailed to show the tecnique I told you about

Again > our goal was to use an specific tecnique for the class, we didnt have freedom to choose how to approach. So that limits you.

For me looks good for something I made two hours before deadline

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton @moksha_prakriti @midnightire @cyberjudos (Its me) Nice!, horses are amazing to study, I love them

See? Your art is better than others

You have inhate talent, thats why you can draw drunk while others sober cannot, even if they practice for years

I was right at the end

And heres my drawing

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton @moksha_prakriti @midnightire @cyberjudos Well, I wanted it to feel real or at least do hyperrealism

I got it with the eyes

If I struggle? Yes of course, like any other student, so? Thats why Im a student and not an artist 🤷��‍♀️

[Mercedes Trinidad @LesMerceditas]

@Grand_JazzyStar @victoria_canton @moksha_prakriti @midnightire @cyberjudos Abstract art may be of your liking but is not as good as hyperrealism

Dont know why "artists" internet communities get triggered when I say this

I dont know why are we celebrating mediocrity, videogame spaces are more demanding and logical, learn from them.
