Deviation Actions
Anyone who's spent a decent amount here at dA and actually reads a lot of comments on deviations has surely come across some angsty larva trying to defend itself by asking "who are you do judge me?" I dont have to listen to you!" or some other stupid blind-like response like that.
Ill skip the part about how this is a community and that if you dont like criticism, you suck ass; it's common knowlege, and no sense to beat it any further.
But the "who are you to judge me" part extends far beyond just art. In fact, a lot of artists like to be judged by their work. You know, good work = good artist, and so on.
Question: Who are you to judge me?
Answer: HOMO SAPIENS
Judging is the natural thing to do. It's nothing more than to assess the situation! We're driving.....light is red...we JUDGE that we gotta stop or else we're mashed potatoes. We see a hot girl, we JUDGE whether feeling her hooters is a good idea or not We are at work, we gotta work overtime, we JUDGE that it sucks.
We look at art....we JUDGE whether we like it or not.....and inheritably, we JUDGE whether the artist is good or not based on their imagination and skill to represent such imagination (even though it's possible and frequent to not like something but recognize the skill and imagination).
Is it possible to judge (part of) a personality by the art? Absolutely. Isnt it fair to say that, once having taken a look at my gallery, or even my main page here, that I like astronomy? I'd think it's a safe bet. So would it be a fair bet to see some bestiality drawing and think that there's something wrong in the mind of the artist who drew that, especially considering that they werent really paid for and did it merely as a pasttime activity? ABSOLUTELY
Oh and don't come with the "oh but we all have different tastes." Yes, we do, but ever heard of boundaries?
Or you can just skip all this........study law......become a judge........and be all "We'll....i'm a JUDGE"

Salutations!
Due to reasons that are foreign to me, a tutorial that I wrote in September of 2003 is now on the front page of the website in February of 2017. What a pleasant surprise! I'm glad to see that this is still being of some use after all this time and that Photoshop hasn't changed all that much. Since that will mean people flocking to this page, I wanted to write a little message:
Welcome! I hope that you like what you see. It is a glimpse of what I created many many years ago. The lack of activity does not represent a lack of interest in art. Design/art is what I do for a living, so I do not do it as much of a hobby anymore. Let me tell y
Another Earth? Nope, same as this one
I was watching the movie "Another Earth" when I noticed something familiar. To be more specific, artwork that looked like something I made a few years ago. I used the word "familiar" very loosely, because I'd recognize something that I made anywhere from very few details.
At the 17 minute mark of the movie, the main character goes on a website to write a small essay for a contest. Guess what artwork is used as part of the background of that website? This: http://fav.me/d18g5o
It's just rotated, but it's exactly the same! The flare has the same angles and the Earth is showing the exact same position. I made that
Custom Shirts - Where?
Over the years, I've been getting requests from some people about having a few of the designs that I've made available as shirts. I always thought it was "one of those things" where it could be much more effort than it was worth. However, as selfishly as this might be, I've just made a few personal designs that I'd like to have made as shirts. As such, I could make a few of the designs available including some new ones.
However, I could use some guidance in choosing a service. I figured that the art community (and hopefully a few of the people who will stumble upon this entry) will have a better idea than me (which is none!) One with so
Thank you, CNN
Thank you, CNN, for you have made me chuckle. When I see things like these, I can't help to think that someone realized it and made it happen (or made it more obvious). What am I referring to?
THIS
I'd normally just leave it at that. However, 5 years after posting my Grammar Natzee poster, people still tell me that I misspelled the word Nazi. So as a service to those people:
One line mentions Kelsey Grammer, which has a last name that is the word Grammar misspelled. And, on the next line...they mention Spelling.
I mean, it's not that big of a stretch, is it? It's not Glenn Beck-ish, right? It is awesome in every way!
