Artist's advice on GFX - How to be an artist

[alamgir]

Heh your right vf, a little harsh, but right. People should just develop their own styles, and be themselves without wondering what other people will say about them being different.

100% on your side

[quoteost_uid0="_dmx_"]^ huh you dont make banners so you dont know.All im saying dont abuse a style =X.[/quote]
I know you made this post a long time ago, but since I'm back you have a new lesson to learn.... :sneaky2:

I'm not trying to be on the "smartass" topic but you said this to me and another person times and you need to understand what I am about to say. Non-banner makers DO know much about banners. It doesn't matter if they are not banner makers. Actually, the people who are observing the banners knows alot about seeing things new and old banners. I understand VF very much about seeing something new..I just don't understand why they make this a "sticky" topic....so anywayz, I definitly know alot and other non-banner makers do to. The only new styles I wanna see are animation. Even their own computer-made animation. So let me tell you something else....I posted my first post on this topic for a reason..I wouldn't have posted if I didn't "know"

Soo let me get this right.

You created this post in order to...

A. whine

B. fill more space with your stupid opinions

C. to act like youre some great gfx creator.

D. trying to tell pepl how they should make their banners

And what the hell dude, "Artists"???

im willing to bet that alot of people really just wanna make people happy rather than creating 'art'.
They may put time and effort into it so that it looks good and so their gfx creations get good reception but mainly people just wanna be accepted for their work not criticized.

what motivated you to create this retarded post.

Oh and gee i wonder how this thread got posted.

I don't consider banners to be art at all! Its only art if you drew everything, colored it in, and without using anything digital(which is why all the banners seem to be the same).

And whats with the tittle of this topic... :Oo: And why are you calling everyone morons? ... acting like you own the forum... pfff

@winda:
err....winda, art is a very vast spectrum of concepts and ideas
you can say creating a banner is not a formal art but it showcases one's ability to be creative
thus id say creating a tag/banner/avy is part of an art (take note: not entirely an art but we can also say its an art)

@vf: i agree although its kinda blunt the way you say it

and for all, risks is something we all have to undertake

-take risks
-be observant
-research
-seek advice

thats all i can share

tim u missed theyr point... not every1 is trying to be an artist... ifuve noticed... when i was still improving in my gfx works, i was making banners for ppl... id say about 50% at least i didnt actually like but it was what people like, what they requested and they were happy with it... i still do think this topic was started mayb cuz a bit of hate addressed to me... even tho sum ppl got 'inspired' to make sumthing different, but its nothing no1 didnt already know... every1s comfortable at one level and they like that level so they improve in that... the only reason i can think that this is a sticky is cuz kingy gave the 'thumbs up' to wut vf said... but i dunt think this would b sticky material... and the only reason i see vf being dissed and cussed in the sfo game itself is of the 'role' he partakes in here... u saw vf remember when i came in, u had like 3 ppl dissing u and calling u names... and thats a totally different thing then wuts going on in the forum... mayb if youdunt get in ppls faces that much u might b liked more in sfo game. i guess for me its quite opposite as vf... seems im hated more in here and 'liked' more in the sfo game, not that that matters but it dusnt hurt t ob humble once or twice... jus to know ur place. as far as this topic goes... i dunt see why it should b continued... the point has been made and the replies have been posted... i see the rest is being jus sidetracked. anyways with blankas new rule... no cussing not even replacing with funky stuff... ull get ur ass pummeled so i do hope to see less hate, outbursts, and fights, most importantly the ones addressed towards me... :buttrock: so now ill favoured by every1 and every1 will love me, just as it should have been. yayyyy.

Nothing is wrong with making sigs non-stop, it's just that making non-stop sigs will mean you never improve, you stay at the same level. Look at me, i used to do to sigs ALL THE TIME, i stopped because i saw VF and Saijin's Devart pages, and i was inspired, inspired to do more, so i did, and look, im doing vectors, photo manipulation and more, i havent done a sig for about a month.

Another thing, if you DO do sigs, dont cut and paste other peoples work (sprites, pics) use your own stuff, like photos you've taken and stuff, i haven't done a copy and paste sig in....too long, use your own material if you DO insist on being a sig whore,

Just my 2 cents
