Arts Section Off-Topic Discussion - General

[QUOTE=bopie;27403106] [url=http://hisgift.wordpress.com/high-school-and-college-seniors/]This[/url] is what I'm talking about. In the about section they state they have a Bachelor’s of Art in Fine Arts.[/QUOTE] I remember you posting that example before, it reminds me of my rant a few pages back about having tons of similar images lined up next to each other ruining the overall set. Seeing any one of those is interesting(ish), but if you have six pictures of, say, the black dude at the top, all against a brick wall but just shot ad different angles and turned black and white, it loses its zing pretty damn quick. speaking of, I [i]hate[/i] when people take a random image and b/w//sepiatone it just to make it look more 'artsy'

What do you guys think of this guys art style? In particular character style: (careful some could be NSFW) [url]http://mattrhodes.deviantart.com/[/url] [IMG]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/299/3/4/northerner_by_mattrhodes-d31kqu0.jpg[/IMG]

It's like samurai jack meets disney meets world of warcraft.

I love that kind of art! Is there any name to it?

idunno comic or something?

I want to steal that style. Might give it a shot.

try developing your own, his characters don't fit good with the background.

I don't actually mean steal, more like being inspired by it. [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] I'm so tired.

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/modlol.png[/img] maybe [editline]15th January 2011[/editline] I'm almost 100% sure I spelled that wrong.

They have to be approved by garry, don't think he'll take in any moderator fake IDs :v:

it says in training :smugdog:

Getting ambitious, now are we?

Is there any specific reason why art studios have such hardons for Macs? I went to my work experience at a graphic design studio in my city and the whole office was filled with macs, there was one PC there, and it was this guy's personal little laptop.

Yeah I don't get it. Luckily doing Game Art Design I'll be subjected to PCs only.

Same reason rednecks only drive American cars. It's cultural + marketing.

colours are nice but what the fuck.

[img_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/37/Bigdaddy-concepts.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Compare that to the concept art from Guild Wars 2: [img]http://www.guildwars2.com/global/includes/images/concept-art/guildwars2-25.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.guildwars2.com/global/includes/images/concept-art/guildwars2-27.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.guildwars2.com/global/includes/images/concept-art/guildwars2-19.jpg[/img] Gee I wonder why that Bioshock art didn't win any awards and Guild Wars 2 did...

DeviantART's daily deviation is making my eyes bleed...

[IMg]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/015/7/0/jelly_rena_by_hinauchi-d379q0p.gif[/img] You mean this one? Yeah, what the shit am I lookin at.

this one too: [img]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/345/4/4/447e74f6b3a7af40e019ccb7b1f5b4d5-d34n6tf.gif[/img] [editline]16th January 2011[/editline] and this: [img]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/003/1/7/owl_archer_by_yurionna-d36c6vl.jpg[/img] It is not a bad piece, but it is definitely not a good piece, I see so many anatomy flaws.

dude... your front page setting is on "newest" instead of popular. Made the same mistake often and raged about it in comments. Never looked back and slept well. :smugdog:

I checked 20 times already and kept refreshing the page. I'm viewing Daily Deviation... At least one image stabs my eye everytime I refresh...

lucky you. I only get quality-ish stuff. :smith: nothing to rage about [editline]16th January 2011[/editline] [IMG]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/016/e/9/winter_scene__by_m0thyyku-d37axyg.jpg[/IMG] is it just me are the colours terribad?

I do get mostly quality stuff, as I am just searching for things to put in my favorite folder. but I thought daily deviation should be filtered by real people... Why do I still see some grade school stuff?

DA should have a separate board for gradeschoolers and people who try to be serious We could embark a such a shitstorm for class jumpers it'd not be funny anymore

The peak highlights have become really washed-out and grey.

I've lost my favourite sketching pencil :( I don't want to use the darker one I've got.

You only use one type of pencil?
