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... And why are you calling everyone morons? ... acting like you own the forum... pfff

Hey, girl, on my last peice of gfx, i spent 7 hours. and you dare deny me my artistic merit?

How dare you. No one from the hand of Di Vinci HIMSELF can denounce someone like that.

Stay out of things that don't apply to you, girl.

And why did they change my topic title.

Whore is not a bad word in the sence of a prostetute. If i say "how not to be a GFX prostetute", that would be alright, wouldn't it?

Ohh Im just now reading this topic. Guess I was too busy to notice. VF you have a point, honestly this is why I stopped making tags completely. People here including myself at one point only made tags well I made animations and tags ect.. Though after really knowing what I know now about art I find that those programs, or any type of program is useless without basicknowledge of art which includes, shapes, color theory, light and shadow, perspective on and on and on and on... Not just most people here, but what I know now as a artist I see that EVERYONE here not just including tag makers only. Who claims to be a artist needs to really go back to the basics. I've seen even your stuff VF and many other peoples work who lack basicknowledge of color and lighting.
ALSO to all the so called "graphic-artist" out there. Umm please try do other things besides ABSTRACT, VECTORS AND SPLASHES. Try to actually DRAW something instead of letting the PROGRAM control you to your limits. Ha yah well I need to work on all these things aswell so we are ALL in the same BOAT. No one here is better or not capable of learning the technical side of art. Then we can truely see how artistic you are once you know all the technical aspects. but anyways this is just my two cents on the matter.

Good one VF, but thats getting kinda old dont yah think. Anyways solution to EVERYONES problem on this board who posted graphics.... unistall photoshop... learn the basics of art....then learn the technical side of art including color theory...... then read the photoshop entire manual, then read the photoshop bible which you can buy at ebay. Actually pratice using your own knowledge to form ideas on the canvas.. then post your master piece. I PROMISE if you do this then everyone will be happy. We get to see great work and you get to how self-accomplishment which beats any applause. Anyways yah thats all im going to say TAKE MY ADVICE you'll be glad yah did... Im currently working on step 2 of my own advice lol.. maybe in um.. few years I'll post some real graphical art on this forum. Untill then I'll be in um.. the training hole ...ohhhhh its dark down here

.. hehe peace

Who are you to tell us about color theory and basic art techniques?

I guess you know what you're talking about, right? Let's hear some of this basic art techniques and color theories you have.

I just want to get better.

Digital art has the exact same rights to be called "art" as traditional art does (drawing, painting etc.) If somebody prefers digital art to traditional, thats entirely acceptable, both styles have the same "rights". And program's dont control limits, theres just as much possible via digital art as there is with traditional, for instance, look at http://alyn.deviantart.com and try to tell me there isn't... Digital art is just as good as Traditional
