The guy's obviously a fan of Edward Gorey, who was drawing that stuff before it was cool.

I considered posting all of them but I figured that would be a bit much. |

I love Edward Gorey. His art is equal parts adorable and macabre, and it all looks so classy and intricate.
|
I've got that book. I can only assume this makes me cool.
|
I appreciate the fuck out of Limbo. It's one of the few recent games that I can consider "art".

Coincidentally Limbo is also the last successful cinematic platformer since Abe's Exoddus.
Has anyone played Bastion? It's worth a play just to gawk at the visuals. http://cdn-static.gamekult.com/gamek...01435470_2.jpg |
Aw come on, it's not a game-related subforum!
|
Anything can be art.
|
Don't say that in front of OANST, he'll shank you.
|
I remember his Oddworld fanfics, they were what you call art.
|
Stop being a hipster. Games aren't art they're games.
|
I don't think I've ever been the first to call 'bullshit' on this forum before.
I'm going to let someone else do it. |
*nothing happens*
|
BULL SHIT. I just keep popping up in Nep's court today. It must be an omen of the imminent apocalypse.

I think SW means visual art.
In any case you can't deny that Bastion is really pretty and Limbo looks fucking cool. The artwork in the game is good even if you want to argue on the semantics of if games are truly art. |
Some games are art. Majora's Mask, Silent Hill, Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus, all very artsy games.
However, games like Call of Duty or Halo would't be considered art, at least not in my opinion. They're just games. There's no real artistic integrity to them. |
Now we're playing with semantics. Art is not a binary Art/Not Art state. It exists on a continuum. Film, for instance, has a line from porn at one end to art-house nonsense on the other, with most of Hollywood's output somewhere in the middle.
EDIT: I should have said "In my personal definition, Art is not a binary..." |
What's art~
|
It's complicated, that's for sure

Haha oh shit, I remember that crap!
|
I don't.
E: Now I do. Do these qualify as art? http://imgur.com/SN7A8.jpg http://imgur.com/svskd.jpg http://imgur.com/NVvlS.jpg (c) Leto 2010 |
Can you seriously stop pretending like you've been here for all these years and know all these inside jokes and what's happened here? Shit, even I don't do that.
|
I wasn't, you can clearly see in my post.

I think he's more begrudged with the fact that you keep bringing this sort of old stuff up to feel included. It's a natural thing to do with the amount of shit some people still give you, but you just need to post relevant, interesting stuff, mate. Any way, I'm not here to give a fucking speech, so this:
http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/20...ar-d39wcd6.jpg This is arguably my favourite piece of art on DA ever. |
Reminds me of Feeco Depot.
|
I think it's the Victorian steam-punk architecture, I love all that sort of stuff. It's why I'm such a fan of dystopian novels I think.
|
I've never been a fan of steampunk, but that really does look amazing.

I know that the discussion happened a whole page ago, but:

Also, I ran across this guy recently, and recall someone here saying they liked surrealist stuff, so I figured I'd share his work. http://www.glassgaragegallery.com/artwork/JD11021.jpg http://www.glassgaragegallery.com/artwork/JD08001.jpg |
Garfunkel is an Art.

Baiting OANST is the finest art of them all.
|
And you should know; you're a master baiter.
|
you wouldn't believe how fucking long that took. i had to work for that rimshot. |
Well anyway, my favourite modern artist is Ao Usagi:

Some of those were quite disturbing, but boob in a cup? I want.

Haha, oh man. I miss Leto.

Patricio Betteo is a great blend of modern digital and classic cubist influence.
