Traditional Art (Do NOT Post Here. Let it Die.)

Did you make that image?

Yes, and I requested that he adds more bloom :wink:

I agree that they are two seperate entities. I am currently studying art and will be studying fine art at Uni for the next 3 years - so obviously I have a major preference toward ā€˜Traditional Art’. I find the trouble with digital art is, most commonly - that quality is either terrible or very good. I find that concept art becomes very monotonous however. They are different things though, as has been said, in general digital art is made for the industry for people. Traditional art is made for yourself, from your own ideas and beliefs. Can’t stress how different they are.

Age of Mythology Art

(watch until end of ā€˜ART’ section)

You have too much time on your hands. Toast, art, I wonder what’s next… :stuck_out_tongue:

As someone who does does both digital and traditional art, I can very much assure you that it’s the same. Different technique, same goal. Saying that it’s not is like saying that killing with a sword is not the same as killing with a gun. One might be a bit harder, but the one on the receiving end is still dead. If you think that physical things have more of a value because you can hold them in your hands, opposed to something digital (which you can also hold in your hand, but you have no way of interpreting it) that’s your thing. It has nothing to do with art in general. If something looks pleasing or has a good meaning I hardly care if it’s digital or not. :slight_smile:

Also, digital can make you smell the paint the same way the photo of a painting can. It just has to be made that way.

"As someone who does does both digital and traditional art, I can very much assure you that it’s the same. ", I presume you create digital and traditional art for the sake of art and not the sake of, say concept art? I agree that art ā€˜art’ can be made very similarly to traditional art and they can both have the same purposes, but in general my view is that digital art is primarily used for fan art, concept art and other business orientated ideas. Whereas traditional art in general is purely made for pleasure and for the sake of art. Regardless my previous post was poorly structured.

Lovely picture that is and I definitely agree ā€œdigital can make you smell the paint the same way the photo of a painting can.ā€, the piece shown is wonderfully atmospheric.

ā€œIf something looks pleasing or has a good meaning I hardly care if it’s digital or not.ā€, exactly.

I’m not sure whether you’re arrogant or delusional. My point for the topic was to suggest to use traditional art for business purposes, not to substantiate the reason I felt it was necessary to create the topic. Let’s have Glenn Gould tell it to you.

Honestly, besides the topic name I couldn’t care less that you created it. You, the person who seems to have the mental age of a 12 year old, extremely close-minded views and a general arrogance in many of your posts. You portray yourself as an unhappy, whinging teenager. ā€œNonsense bullshitā€, it’s called an opinion buddy. Of course we have no special credibility, I am a student figuring out my views and opinions, which are what I just said - views and opinions.

What’s your point?

So I-Novae should use traditional art on occasion or not?

I see no reason for them to do so, in fantasy worlds - worlds revolving around some sort of predefined history and culture then fine art might be perfect to be made alongside the game or to be used as concept art. However I feel that digital art would be best as it’s easier to get that modern, futuristic feel through digital** art that maybe Infinity would be more suited too.

Thank you for being explicit about your opinion.

What do you think about emulating science fiction created in the early 20th century? Do you think it’d be suitable to use art techniques innovated during that time to develop various pieces for the fiction, whether they may be core elements or auxilary components of the fiction? I’d find it pleasing; to be honest I just enjoy the way ā€œtraditional artā€ usually turns out. I think it looks better.

Being an art student yourself does not help me become more tolerant when you want to flail contradictive statements around without addressing the discussion.

My previous posts were made while I was fully aware of their ludicrousity. It’s an act, and it’s just for fun. (don’t confuse this with *ā€œtrollingā€ *)

I’m trying to engage people around here a little more. I’m getting kinda bored by everyone being either awkwardly serious or designatively inane. We’ve got a special topic for 3 word sentences?? I think there’s enough other topics where that’ll happen.

Please no offers of sex on the board. Try ā€œGeek Sex Chatā€ ten guys to one girl and the girl your hitting on probably isn’t.

I don’t find any of what you said to be an excuse for acting like a fool. Being under 20, I guess I am also a ā€˜teenager’, though I dislike the negative connotations that are associated with it. Absolutely no need to attempt to offend me, I could tell you to fuck off, but what would that gain? You are merely attempting to provoke a reaction and reassure your own ego.

ā€œMy previous posts were made while I was fully aware of their ludicrousity. It’s an act, and it’s just for fun.ā€ I kill people and I’m fully aware that the things I do are wrong. It’s an act, and it’s just for fun.

If by engaging people, you mean throwing hateful words around then sure, go ahead, attempt to make yourself happier about your own life.

In vain indeed.
