My Art thread

[маразм1]

Most artists learn how to draw the human figure. That's my understanding anyway.

Exactly.  Just like a composer needs to know how to write and read music, before composing "4'33".

Right. Learn the rules before you break them.

Again, youre a stupid moron for not understanding, you schmuck.

Grow up, and try to learn to repsect people.

Grow up, and try to learn to repsect people.

And you are a troll.

Dont you forget that.

[Saul]

Right. Learn the rules before you break them. 

Stupid assertion.

There are different forms of expression, and drawing a face or a human body has nothing to do with it.

You guys are ignorant on an astronomical level.

Thank G-d that I got great letters from real famous artists that support and love my art.

Praise from artists is better then an insult from the ignorant.

couldn't agree more.....

The proper way to do photoshop art:

that's cool....... Dali is that one?

[Joe_Campbell]

It was a photoshop contest finalist. It's a combination of a bunch of Dali's work into one natural collage. Very well done!

Sounds to me like your a desperate little man who is starved for attention.

[gomro]

I like your stuff, gomro.

Good! Here's another, just finished about 2 days ago: an illustration of the nameless creature from John Campbell's seminal sci-fi tale, "Who Goes There?" When Howard Hawks filmed it (as "The Thing from Another World") the monster was James Arness in a Frankenstein suit; when John Carpenter filmed it (as "The Thing") he got the shape-changing right, but never showed us the Thing the way the author described it. So here it is:

I would certainly appreciate an opportunity to review and critique YOUR artwork...

You need your own art thread!

Definitely. That's a neat picture. Great color sense and design. What medium are you working in?

They're "painted" directly to computer, with VicMan (drawing freeware I've had a while) and MSPaint. I've been thinking of buying some better software and a WiCom pad; I'm drawing by mouse and I'm sure that could be improved.  Here's a much more abstract bit, an effort to catch the impressions generated by a certain Stockhausen piece:

I'm drawing by mouse...

That can't be easy.

[gomro]

That can't be easy.

Easier than drawing by cat, but not by much. Hyuk hyuk.

That one doesn't seem to me as successful as the John Campbell monster piece. The background is a bit too busy and the foreground elements (which I take to be all the blue circles or ovals) don't really dominate and stand out as well as the Thing does in your other picture.
