Nepsotic 10-28-2012 05:51 AM

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.

Nepsotic 10-28-2012 06:18 AM

I wasn't, you can clearly see in my post.

I researched it. At no point did I say, ME TOO, HA!

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:

This is arguably my favourite piece of art on DA ever.

Sekto Springs 10-28-2012 09:09 AM

Reminds me of Feeco Depot.

STM 10-28-2012 09:15 AM

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.

Nepsotic 10-28-2012 09:35 AM

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:

:

All art. Any art. Not just visual art, no. Anything that can be considered an art. Anything you consider an art.

We have threads for things like "Oh hey, I just saw/listened/played blahblahblah", but we don't have any threads that are solely dedicated to appreciating (and by appreciating I mean going on and on about the technical aspects. The things that make this so appealing or at least seeing what can make it appealing to others.) that thing we just saw/listened to/played.

Personally, I consider games to be a form of art. It's a medium that allows most forms of art to come together to usually tell a story. This thread is for appreciating art, regardless of what medium, genre, style, and so on.

Also, I ran across this guy recently, and recall someone here saying they liked surrealist stuff, so I figured I'd share his work.

Don't say that in front of OANST, he'll shank you.

Baiting OANST is an art, and a fine one at that.

Slog Bait 10-28-2012 01:19 PM

Baiting OANST is the finest art of them all.

MeechMunchie 10-28-2012 01:33 PM

And you should know; you're a master baiter.

Strike Witch 10-28-2012 03:21 PM

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.

Sekto Springs 10-29-2012 09:25 AM

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

Sekto Springs 10-29-2012 09:52 AM

Yep.

Actually, I agree with Nep. I just think a lot of things are bad art.

Childrens' books, you say.

Varrok 10-29-2012 01:29 PM

Can't understand these childeren, eh listen to dubstep and watch creppy nude art

Mr. Bungle 10-29-2012 01:43 PM

I can't imagine any children's book publishing company that would let those into their books, thus traumatically scarring a whole generation of kids.

That said, they're nice pictures.

Strike Witch 10-29-2012 04:08 PM

I also like Escher!

Some of those look more like photos than paintings.
