Portraits, I almost pity this guy

[Terrik]

urge to kill... rising!

 

[a stranger]

thats not photoshop.....thats ms paint

 

[Clashero]

Are the photoshopped portraits supposed to show them as average joes, or are they meant for artistic showmanship?

Granted, it's poor art, but it's art nonetheless.

I'll argue that. Art is meant to transmit something, some sort of feeling, emotion or message. He just uses PS filters on google pics.

Further down he claims this is a painting:

And he says, and I quote "eyes are getting better brian , thanx for asking here is a drawing of my chinese g/f that I will meet for the first time soon , when I am there I will sit her down and do a real good one."

Where are her legs?

Guess he forgot to paint them in *sigh*.

That thread is clearly a moron convention. His poetry is diabolical to say the least!

 

[Gerazzi]

._.
I have no Idea why, but I'm suddenly enraged at this no-talent wannabe

 

[darthzew]

Yeah, this is pretty lame. I admit you can do cool things with Photoshop filters, but claiming you DREW it?!?

No. Just no. No.

 

[darkless]

Am i honestly supposed to believe he drew this?

 

[ThatJagoGuy]

Hahaha!

I love the fact that, in the course of that thread, he claims to be:
* An artist
* A poet
* A photo-restorer
* A youth-Consellor
AND A FRICKIN' FIREFIGHTER!!!

What a fuckin' joke.

It just makes those that are legitimately trying to learn how to use photoshop and traditional mediums look bad.
Personally, I don't like using photoshop and stick strictly to traditional materials. Sure, I'll scan in an image and adjust the colors once it's in Adobe, but scanning usually warps the colors of an image anyway, adjusting the levels is a simple way to make it look closer to the actual piece.

Yeah. That guy is obviously a hack. Depending on the artists that he is stealing the traditional works from (someone mentioned in, don't remember who) they could take legal action.
I'd do it.

After you scroll down past the poems you'll notice his so called 'portraits' that are obviously just photo's with photoshop filters over them. As a real portrait artist myself, it really annoys me.

You know what? You're right. This man should be castrated and forced to do calculus for an OCD mathematician.

 

[Zand88]

hahaha, hilarious.

Most people on DA do this, the difference is that they work to make it less obvious.

 

[AveryR]

anyone found praising the 'work' on that site should be put on an island far from anywhere with a dunce hat glued to their head, altho if this is some kind of social experiment to show how dumb people on the internetz can be then give him a friggin medal... and then ship all those people to the island.

In a pantleg, it is the same shade as the rest. Anyways, check the blatant Sohu.com to see where the sources are from...
Also, compare that to one of his pencil drawings, the actual drawing has bad proportions, etc.
