Nice work.

Artistic as FUCK!

Now this, is art. This almost makes Da Vinci green from envy.

Why does this remind me of They Live! (I'm talking about Dr. Breen) [img]http://www.movingimagesource.us/images/articles/They-Live_2-20080813-125142-medium.jpg[/img]

i like this

Brush spam = worship [editline]14th February 2011[/editline] apparently. [editline]14th February 2011[/editline] seriously you'd get so torn to shit if you posted this in the creationism corner

pretty nice

It IS brush spam... But I like the colors, and the composition altogether ain't bad.

i kinda like it. reminds me of street art, in a way. the only thing that's weirding me out is the sparkly brush used on gordon.

my Eyes have been raped by the awesome.

This art is real art!!

I really like it.

oh...my.......i can't describe how i like this picture....this is real art

[QUOTE=Back_Slash;28073919]It never matters about the method. it's about the result.[/QUOTE] So if a singer auto-tunes a song then you still regard it as highly as a perfect operatic piece? hahahha whatever man. [editline]15th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Back_Slash;28073919]I that's why CC sucks ass if you post something digital.[/QUOTE] How can you say that after the amount of greatly useful criticism you have gotten over there?

No. that's entirely different. This is the tools are there. How you use it is entirely up to you. Something that makes something easier/look better why not use it. this is not the case in music as talent=/=sounding good doesn't always apply. lets put it this way lady gaga has good beats, but ass tier lyrics. Does she has talent when it comes to beats? yes but when it boils it down to listening to here songs I just stand them (don't hate me gagaheads) but what most people forget on this forum is that art isn't "because it looks cool" it is "what is the artist thinking" and "what is the artist trying to convey through this work". this beyond the "generic" and the "badass" frustrates me the most

Brush spam still looks like brush spam when all is said and done, and it would look a lot better if he had used them more sparingly. "All about what the artist is trying to convey" sounds like a convenient strawman to try and excuse things from being bad (or in this case, just overdone) to me. Also, Lady Gaga is fucking awful in pretty much every way, so I don't see where you're going with that. What you think about a musician and whether this picture is over-executed or not are totally unrelated.

See I was expecting a response like that. let's put it like this. No one goes to a museum to see technique.

Art isn't all about "what the artist is trying to say" at all. That's utter bullshit. You can completely misinterpret the message the artist was trying to convey and still enjoy a piece of work for your own reasons. Art is all about the subjective and relative individual emotions of the viewer. Like I give a shit what the artist is trying to convey. He's not stood next to me when I'm looking at his painting.

Things are in that museum because they look unquestionably good or had some kind of cultural impact.[/QUOTE] what about modern art. well then again yes it does a cultural impact. but is it very good? Hell I can squeeze out modern art after eating mexican food. You guys are arguing more how? and I'm asking the why? which are very important questions don't get me wrong. But when you know the "how?" why ask it? ask another question.

There's actually a fair amount of technical aspects to modern art, and while I personally don't like the "throwing paint buckets at a canvas" look it doesn't automatically get art critics all wet, does it?

[QUOTE=rossmum;28078674]There's actually a fair amount of technical aspects to modern art, and while I personally don't like the "throwing paint buckets at a canvas" look it doesn't automatically get art critics all wet, does it?[/QUOTE] It gets them wet because they pretty much ask the same question I am "WHY" I mean I know people who break down their modern art pieces to the rule of 3's and I find that interesting all though tossing paintbuckets isn't my forte'

"Why?" is pretty irrelevant in this forum, in my opinion. At least, the "Why?" of the artist- especially when the artist's involvement is seemingly minimal (in terms of altering the image).

hey guys shut up and enjoy the picture. No one gives 2 fucks whether it's brush-spam or not it still looks good, better than i can do.

Something does not 'look good' (which is a subjective measurement by the way) just by virtue of being better than [I]you[/I] can do.

It's impossible to please everyone. Someone liked it, some didn't - this is normal. I'm not going to convince anyone that I did something super cool and artistic. You didn't like it - alright, it's your opinion, I respect it.
