Do people only like artwork with colour in it?posted Aug 23rd 2006, 10:46PM
Mood: Confused
Is it just me or do the majority of people only check out artwork that has colour in it? Just that after uploading 2 normal pencil ones and one coloured piece, the coloured one got lots more views and even a comment within a few minutes having been submitted, whereas the pencil sketches had very few views and no comments in the same amount of time? I'd like to express my opinions about this but I know that I'll get some immature kids flaming and claiming that I'm just upset cos I didn't get alot of views or some other excuse.
I pretty much enjoy drawing things, been doing it before I could walk. Generally I draw cartoon animals (society seems more comfortable with cartoon animals blowing each other up than cartoon people) and manga-style characters. I'm pretty new to manga-style so I'm still sketchy (hehe) at it, so obviously need more practice. I'm more into a blend of manga mixed with some elements of realism and my own ideas, as I don't intend to directly copy certain styles, just incase some people think I'm trying to create the next Inuyasha or something (I've never actually watched that).
I like to draw comics, my trademark style is a mixture of cartoon and movie-like violence, blood & gore, dismemberment, mild sexual themes, realistic firearms, all topped off with my natural dark sense of humour. Many of my drawings are adult orientated so are meant for mature audiences (take note of the word "mature"). I like doing comics about Special Forces, anti-heroes, friends and stuff.
Oh yea I do draw what is considered sexually themed content, such as females striking suggestive poses, sexual innuendos, girl on girl, etc. To be fair I get alot of requests for drawing them mainly from girls so hey, gotta please an audience. I never use sex scenes or full nudity, that's not my style and I don't think they're artistic, anyone who says I do is full of BS. I know some individuals will think I'm a sad and lonely perv, but heh such people are at war with themselves.
Yea it's very nice that some people have more experience and somewhats are better at something than other people, just don't go rubbing it in their faces. Apart from being immature, it's more than annoying and tends to make the majority of people think you're nothing but an arrogant juvenile with issues. Not only that, if you just go around saying "your work is crap, makes no sense, poor," etc and no backbone to it then it does say alot about your level of intelligence and how you lack good judgement. Sorry that's just the way the real world works.
One more thing... don't steal my artwork. Not only is it theft and dishonest, alot of people recognise my distinctive artwork, so you'll not only have me to deal with you'll have everyone else to deal with aswell. So don't.
That's cool, I used to be a huge fan of aliens myself, I'd probaly say I was obsessed about it. Your artwork is top notch, your characters look so cartoony and full of life! **
