Reply to Look at this Photoshop image in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The perspective in this isn't all that bad... my credit to him goes out for both shear size of it (40"x20" the size of an actual painting), hours spent, and attention to detail. Digital painting is a true pain in the arse. Overall he has done a really good job folks. The reason? Why even question that... photoshop is just another medium, like paint, pencil, plaster, photography, and so on.... asking why is like saying why paint at all when

Reply to First Great Skin in Community WinCustomize Forums

I think Darkstar did it for me... but thats what got me wanting to skin more so than just interested in general. I loved the theme but had to have it in black/green not black/red and force coloring it just didn't look as good as tweaking all the images to get it just right. I know, I know, its a TSF skin and I might get some flack for that but I've also only been around for less than a year and some of these older skins and stuff were not t

Reply to New Rating System in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Very good point, trends do set a tone for rating just as much as anything else. Take the transparency crazy when wb5 first came out or continuing ones like the "Vista" cloning stuff... so on and so forth. Way to go pictoratus on some further insight, as WOM said.

If your going to showcase someone elses work at least give them props. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394

homeryulo, it sad to hear you withdrew (deleted) your wall. I think your wallpapers are some of the best around in that style and I have admired your work for some time. It would be nice to see more of it (your walls) around. As for the rating system, I said this not to long ago, it sucks at times... but no matter what is done people are going to complain... its just the nature of a rating system in general. "You can never make everyone h

Reply to Design software weakens classic drawing skills in Community WinCustomize Forums

I agree with ya Jafo. I even noticed this happening some years ago when I was taking all my courses. There are alot of graphics people (even then) that can't draw a simple picture with a pencil worth anything. I'm not say they are not good computer graphics people (just don't ask them to sketch something out real quick for you).

Design software weakens classic drawing skills in Community WinCustomize Forums

As both a fine artist and digital one I thought this recent article was very interesting, thought everyone here might find so as well. (Reuters) It's not a pretty picture. U.S. art students spend so much time toying with computer graphics these days that many wind up without needed drawing skills, university instructors say. Students are more comfortable manipulating computer graphics than doodling, draft
