I'm only down with hardcore artists. People who spend hours mixing paint and shit like that before painting. Not like those filthy computer using casuals.
I'm just talking about the "looking as good" part. Digital art can go from pretty good to tacky as shit real fast. There's a totally different quality to paint or ink that digital stuff just can't do.

I would love to see an example, because I think the total opposite of that. There's tons of things you could never do with painting that you can easily do in a computer program.

Like you're never going to try and paint something that looks as good as something done in photoshop, while I see people trying to use photoshop to create something that looks like it wasn't made in photoshop all the time.
I think this quote from Don Hertzfeldt fits in pretty nicely here:
"I don't know why these things are always framed as a big dumb cage match: Hand-drawn versus computers, film versus digital. We have over 100 years now of amazing film technology to play with, I don't understand why any artists would want to throw any of their tools out of the box. Many people assume that because I shoot on film and animate on paper I must be doing things the hard way, when in fact my last four movies would have been visually impossible to produce digitally. The only thing that matters is what actually winds up on the big screen, not how you got it there."
tbob's right about the tacky part, it's a very fine line
Part of it, I think, is just that digital art is still really new. People have been fucking around with paint forever, the better examples are much more common than good examples of digital art.
