Dark Artist Seeks Blue Bloods...

[TheDarkMuse]

New here so I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you of my project!

Photographer and Photoshop Artist seeking the fierce and sexy community of darkness who will be fashioned from photograph to digital art for an online novella for my website.... an apocalyptic view of the dark recesses of Los Angeles and those those who inhabit them.

There is no pay, but you will receive a copy of the painting, and in return, I can do shoots for you, if you desire, anytime in the future if you should ever need any... free of charge always, whenever you need for your assistance.

Any questions or those interested... PLEASE MESSAGE ME!! Of course... you would have to be in the Los Angeles - Orange County area... or you could send me a pic which I would be more than happy to create... as long as you fit the character!

check my web at my profile fro examples of my work. I am also available in case anyone needs any artistic photography done as well... I don't charge!

...have we read the FAQ yet?

[Bikerpunk]

It appears we have not.

And applying Photoshop filters is NOT "painting".

...have we read the FAQ yet?

Sorry about that... YES... a mistake of mine. But I was actually guided here, never heard of the sight (great one of course) and said it was fine by one of your members to post the same ad I posted with them. Oh, well... I rushed it. Live and learn. With my apologies...

It appears we have not.

And applying Photoshop filters is NOT "painting".

So Biker... It's called "painterly" effect. I use Corel Painter, not PS Filters. I understand your critique though... To each his own.

My mistake with posting... It's off.

[TheDarkMuse]

it appears that I can't delete it nor edit according the FAQ... So I'll leave it for the administrators to do so.

Thanks much...

Just don't call a digital manipulation a "painting". Unless paint is involved....

From my days in digital animation (2D): digitally colouring in the individual cels was always called "painting" as was creating backgrounds etc. with Wacom tablets. know that this is a hangover from the days where cels were actually painted with an actual brush and paint but I think that it is a useful and fair enough way of describing digital artistry in some cases. I didn't do much "painting" myself - I was a compositor which was termed "camera" - another hangover from when you used to use an actual rostrum camera to individually "shoot" each frame.

An inkjet printout of a digital manipulation is not in my mind a painting.

that's fair.

[Bikerpunk]

Sorry, that's one of my pet peeves.

I work really hard at trying to draw stuff that looks like what it is, and paint stuff that has the same shades and colours as life.

It takes time, observation, work, exposure to solvents.

Clicking on a Wacom pad and saying IM DONE somehow seems to rob the word of its meaning.

[helcyon]

...exposure to solvents.

I usually prefer to skip to this step if there's any at hand.

Per what Mindgames posted, I might have this thread removed, except Bikerpunk and helcyon brought up some interesting points, so I'm leaving it.

Also, I'm a big Rush fan.
