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.

Quote from Poision Envy:
to make a painting that looks as good as something you can color on the computer

Um reverse that.

so you think it'd be easier to get as much detail and proper coloring painting on a canvas with that above picture, than it would in photoshop?

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.


this is the poster I was talking about earlier

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.

tbob's right about the tacky part, it's a very fine line

Anything involving a lot of gradients, with the main focus underneat that

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."

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.

cpadolf yeah i feel much the same way

film is a somewhat different matter though i'd say
Almost happy
Well yeah, but the same principle basically holds true (especially since this is in relation to animation).

and certainly i'm not ragging on computer coloring, i just don't think it works very well for certain things
red chamber dream
namely stuff i'd hang in my house
red chamber dream
by its nature it's flat and not very detailed which works for some things and others not

I think you're severely underestimating what people can do without the aid of computers.

still waiting on examples

watercolor lets you do just that
Almost happy
I'd only hang things with as little personality as possible in my house. Like minimalistic movie posters or something. I like Olly Moss's stuff a lot.
red chamber dream
my parents have a bunch of original paintings of my uncle's hanging in their house, i remember liking some of those a lot as a kid
red chamber dream
wonder if any of them are online
Club 27 Goals
course though with computer graphics you can do shit like this

but I guess that's kinda unfair

red chamber dream
well, it's video
