	fantabulastic @ 5/8/2006 07:47 commented on Geisha I love your sense of design. The background is totally creative.
	fantabulastic @ 5/6/2006 16:10 commented on Female Robot Dreams of Being Human Thanks for the clarification. And now, an explanation: This is a design I made for the cover of a literary review at my college. I started with the clouds (which I assure you were meticulously hand-drawn in MS Paint) then drew the characters seperatately and pasted them in. If you look at the front of the beetle there is the beginnings of reflection-type stuff being added but I ran out of time. The deadline came and I called it good enough. I realize it could stand for some integration, at the same time I like how the characters pop, almost like a cartoon where the background was done in oil with cell overlay. The looseness of the clouds is the same as the looseness of the figures, it obviously works better for you in the clouds. One of the reasons the characters have places that are finished and others which aren't is a painting technique I learned from one of my professors. His thing is that every work needs areas of dominance, support, and places where the composition fades away. If you look at the clouds their outlines get less contrasty and then disappear. The masters used the same technique. Look at Rembrandt's paintings. There is always a dominant eye. Unfortunately I didn't know about the size restraints on this site so my piece got horribly cropped. Maybe if you saw the whole piece you would understand what I was going for. From what I have seen of the art on this site most of the artists run around copying each other, afraid of not being "pixel" enough. I think that's sad. It fosters an environment where creativity is scorned while the status quo is praised. Your comments contribute to this. After I had done this piece I started looking online for other people who liked drawing in MS Paint. I found this site and submitted it not knowing that there were all sorts of rules. I figured if you had taken the time to master a pain in the ass program like MS Paint, you'd be in. Clearly that is not the case. Whatever, I busted out a robot head which was accepted and am now working on a piece of epic pixelness that, when finished, should put to rest any doubt as to the authenticity of my work. Also, just so you know, I think your work is amazing. I think you should definately switch majors or leave college altogether and pursue a career in art.>* Message has been truncated *

	fantabulastic @ 5/1/2006 22:04 commented on NES Is there anything more pop art than a pixel-drawn nes? I submit that there is not!
	fantabulastic @ 5/1/2006 21:52 commented on self portrait in robot The eyes don't match on purpose. I was trying to contrast the tight shading with a looser feel to the lines. That's ok if it doesn't work for you.

	fantabulastic @ 4/29/2006 15:55 commented on Flash Gordon: The Pixelmash Then please accept my apologies, Dennis Busch
	fantabulastic @ 4/28/2006 16:50 commented on Flash Gordon: The Pixelmash Dennis and E-Maquination: you are both ridiculous snobs. Your stringent adhereance to silly rules is a sure path to stagnation. If everyone keeps doing the same thing with the same techniques the art form will never evolve. Your comments and aditudes do nothing but hold others back. Ten years from now you two will still be churning out the same dross while everyone else has moved on. This video is amazing, accept it for what it is: a great work rendered in blocky squares of color, pixel art at its finest.
	fantabulastic @ 4/28/2006 16:40 commented on Go. Totally amazing! I love the concept. Thanx for doing something different.
	fantabulastic @ 4/25/2006 16:34 commented on Female Robot Dreams of Being Human Note from the artist: I'm new to this whole thing. I like drawing in MS Paint and was looking for others who enjoy pixelated art. It seems in my ignorance I've stepped on a few toes. I thought pixel art was art drawn with pixels. Apparently this is wrong? I really like all the stuff I've seen on this site. I hope there's a place for me and my art even if I don't adhere to the strictest of your codes. I'd appreciate any tips you care to give.
