Mitosis #14  --  My new background.

Well, I'm no artist, but here's an example of what I would consider my art form:


I miss backstabbing, I'm almost considering digging up my Starcraft disk

J0k3r #1 and 2 6/10. Generaly they are ok but I think you could add a lot more to them. They look somewhat plain.

Mitosis all your work 3/10, In my opinion.

Very nice Spht #2 10/10, btw what do you use?

That's simple, both of you seem to use the same basic idea: either take a picture or pictures you didn't create that look cool, and then type some text next to them; or type some text, add 3-4 filters, *maybe* move a layer, and call it masterful.

I don't mean to be all flamey but it really bothers me when people call either using other's work and adding a word to it or clicking 'OK' on a built-in filter "making art".

You're right to some degree.  But almost all art is based on something, even abstract.  What Spht did with the Halloween logo is quite a distance from the original, as to be considered unique.  He probably had to throw away dozens of attempts, as artists often do, until it has the right look and feel.  I think he did great.

Someone opening Photoshop and drawing freehand is your only idea of digital art?  What if they used the font tools, filter tools, effects?  At which point are any of those the artists own creation?  I'm not attempting to counter-flame, but want to point out that being critical exposes your own critique to criticism :p  or something.  hehe

Spht and I talked at length about this on MSN, and I told him his Halloween logo was good.  I don't think only freehand is art, I was trying to say I don't think writing "Mitosis" next to a render made by Blizzard, or by writing "Graphic Designer" with the wind filter applied, over a background with something like difference clouds, glass, lens flare filters applied, is art.  If I take the Mona Lisa, and write SOULTAKER on it, did I really create great art?

Yeah well, what ever man. I made all those which I have shown up top so I dont really care what you have to say. Btw whats your proof that I never did make them? Care to share?

Again, please feel free to actually read through my posts.

Edit: that last one is nice without the text btw.

Tuberload #2 8/10 its really nice but I think the green kind of recks it.

The green is a difference color of the blue, so I don't see how it wrecks it. Thank you for your input.

I will post some art that more closely resembles what you are posting when I get back home tonight.

Netcooler is being way too lazy so I'll post in his name.

1) This one is several years old.

It's fun, we can call people "DC™" and they don't know what we mean.

2) Jisus (the action figure).


3) The New Testament.


4) From the day Saddam was captured. There were plenty of these, here's Netcooler's.


5) The person in the following image is not Skywing.


6) Tabascola, the drink!

This one also has an action shot. Click:

7) That's My Furer


8) Me and my awesome car.


9) Me in deleted scenes from the Matrix: Reloaded.


Enjoy.

Holy shit, I thought that tabasco can was real!

And Holy Bible v2.0 made me laugh.

Ahhh, I love those.
I'd elaborate on the pictures, but Yoni said it all. God bless him.

Any comments on any of my works?



And iago, want me to make you a kid?  

I was bored and decided to show off my newbie skills so yeah:

I didn't know Yoni was in Matrix: Reloaded.
