Okay here's the jig;

A lot of people don't enter the SOTW, or don't post their art, because they think it sucks. Well listen to me, it doesn't suck. Everyone has their own style of art! Story, just to show you:

- I had to do art for 3 years. I thought my art was great. I solely used lines that I wanted to use, paid no attention to detail and made it look like a sort of authentic theme. Many agreed that it did look good, I really liked some of it too;

- My art teacher on the other hand, disagreed. She said (in a polite fashion), that it sucked. This scarred me from ever doing art again.

But the point is, even though my art teacher is wrong, I can't tell her that otherwise I'd get in some serious trouble. But this is a forum, you aren't face to face, you aren't going to get in trouble (assuming you don't take it too far).

So please! Post your art and let people constructively criticize it! Try it, but if you don't like it, that's just your style then! Don't be discouraged because some people's art is "better", your art rocks too. It's just not many people think the same way.

Post your art!
- kyle.

I agree, doesn't mean if someone thinks your art work is crap, that its really crap, thats only their opinion. well stated +1

I agree too.

You make art because you like it, and you shouldn't care what other people think.

IMO people make art as an outwardly expression. If everyone was polite and uniform, what would be its value? Feel good excrement?

Agree, but ignore the criticisms you do not like, do not try not to stifle them.

True. Very true. BUT you can tell when something is not artistic.
For example

That is not artistic. That is just pathetic ( although I drew it )

I don't want to turn this thread into a 'rate my art' thread (copyright mine don't use pls) but i don't like it, but that is just personal preference. if you like it, that's all that matters! i just don't like ths general style of it. but then again, i hate most things these days

edit> zimmer ruined my thread and he calls himself the people's mod! oh wait.. i used that earlier on tmo..

Is this a rip-off of 'Sex and YOU!" ?

Also Zimmer, that artwork is marvelous.

My Uncle is a real artist, he paints/draws pictures and spent several years studying it at University. That's what i consider real art, a nice painting, i don't really buy into this modern art. No offence to anyone who makes it.

Kinda anoying when i guy makes a picture of a few coloured Squares and it sells for millions, then a guy spends hours painting a nice picture and it isn't worth £500.

it's no ripoff! although it CAN be construed into sex VERY easily:

My dad knows a guy who draws/paints planes, trains and landscapes. But when he took them to whoever you take them to, they said it wasn't art because it was a representation of something, wtf!, isn't a red circle a representation of a red circle?

I can't grasp why someone would want some overlapping coloured shapes on their wall over something real.

I guess we're just not sophisticated enough to appreciate modern art .

as an artist i learnt long ago that this is the best thing to consider when looking at art work. or for that matter any creative medium.

"Art is subjective to the individual".

as said by me at some point in the past.

edit: oh btw if someone looks at my stuff on DA and u have an account can u add some constructive critisism plz coz i find it helps loads when peeps point out stuff i never thought of.

Ok! I only have photoshop for 3 days now. But I will show you what I have managed to create out of the tutorials I read.

Uploading in a bit.

EDIT: Ok here is what I made so far and as far as I am concerned I'm pretty proud of it.

This is purely recreated from tutorials, still I am happy with the results, as each copy from the tutorials allways ends up differently

Get it over a torrent for free.

Mine broke and i can't uninstall is for some reason so i can never download a new version,sigh...

Although i can't give you a torrent link, because i'd get banned faster than you could say "Piracy isn't a real law".

Actually i'd probably just get warned, unless a mod is in a pissed mood.

for those of you without the funds for PS or CP et al. u can get a free working version of 'opencanvas', its not the dogs bollox mind you but its not bad for free. its an older version thought so u might need to google and find out which version it is so u dont end up with a trial version.
