[QUOTE=The freeman;35405986]Is it just me or are you people obsessed with hating on Tom Preston The humor is a pretty fucking bad but the artwork is half way decent[/QUOTE] The art is terrible for someone who took 3 years in an art school and managed to get a Animation degree from there. The main problem is that he has actually TALENT, but he is so lazy about it, that he completely regressed on his skill over the years. That and the fact he is a illogical and immature dickhead
and pretended to be a girl on the internet for acceptance
[QUOTE=Scarabix;35408291][url]http://scarabix.deviantart.com/critique/607614350/[/url] and of course he rejected the critique. I guess it's all part of a bigger social experiment.[/QUOTE] I can agree the peice isn't top-notch, but your critique seems more like whine,whine. For example: [quote] This is completely fucking dumb as a pony would never bear the weight of a 40-ish overweight russian, who somehow wields his claymore one-handed. Not only that but I've never seen a pony of this color.[/quote] That's just silly and childish. Point out what he could have done better, use a better dragon model, that you did. Or point out the strange, white square on the ground.

Personally I just can't stand Preston's attitude to almost everything, but art and critics especially, which of course is focus of his comics. The actual quality of his comics to me is low, but that goes for so much other stuff as well, and there's certainly comics with worse art out there. His humor doesn't resonate with me, but as his comment section shows, it's a subjective thing. However that attitude of his used to bother me a lot. But there's only so long I can stay angry at a person before I think "Ah, fuck it" and move on, so by now I'm mostly indifferent to the stuff he posts and hope somebody does a funny edit with it.

I guess it's all part of a bigger social experiment.[/QUOTE] You're a dumb faggot. The way you "critiqued" is that of a pissed of 12 year old thinking he's helpful by telling people how shit he thinks they are and how they should stop living. It's also retarded to complain that a pony couldn't hold the weigth of the Heavy because this is fiction, and not only that, you complained that the sandwich wasn't dropped with a plate which is even more retarded because that follows the realistic demands you made when you complained about the pony. You're telling him to do what you like because you are the best. Nothing else.

I went looking on dArt for some Blade Runner stuff, came across this: [img]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/362/b/b/the_blade_runner_by_boytheearthtalksto-d1qhizo.jpg[/img] The guys says: [quote]Made a lot of back and forth adjustments with white charcoal on this one, to the point where it started feeling more like a painting. 8.5" x 11" inkjet paper. General's black & white charcoal pencils with Sanford Design Ebony graphite and kneaded eraser. September 2008.[/quote] I don't believe him, it looks like he got this: [img]http://www.pixel-issue.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/deckard.jpg[/img] And just Photoshop filtered it... What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?[/QUOTE] It's probably been filtered, I don't see anything that could look like a brush stroke in the piece, however without going into pasting them over one another, they certainly aren't exactly the same. [editline]3rd April 2012[/editline] Scratch that, they're the same. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jg7Hx.gif[/IMG]
Hohoho... He has tones of other works just the same: [url]http://boytheearthtalksto.deviantart.com/[/url] Have a looksy.
The grain may make it look filtered. But just look at the black areas, it isn't fully black and you can clearly see strokes which follows a natural angle from the hand. You can also see it change direction at some places. And a lot of the shading is different.
[img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/362/7/b/diaper_king___before_color_by_boytheearthtalksto-d3e4cd3.jpg[/img] He says he did this with a pen., I honestly can't tell though.
[QUOTE=Smasher 006;35412300]Scratch that, they're the same. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jg7Hx.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] Tracing =/= filtering. Look at the hand, it's not placed correctly and the open areas near the trigger are black instead of white. Filters don't do that. [editline]3rd April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=JustGman;35412541][img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/362/7/b/diaper_king___before_color_by_boytheearthtalksto-d3e4cd3.jpg[/img] He says he did this with a pen.[/QUOTE] That's because he probably did. [img]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/128/2/5/penelope_cruz___animation_by_boytheearthtalksto-d2so0mx.gif[/img] You guys need to stop thinking about Photoshop as some amazing wonder magic. He's just traced them with traditional mediums.
