Arcipello said:I work with 5 other concept artists at my studio and apart from collecting photographs for inspiration on colours and atmosphere none of us actually use photos in our work, and yes we are now in the early stages of production and its all very concept art heavy. i guess we just put more emphasis on the art aspect of it.
Extollere said:Yep. However if you take a much better artist such as Adam Hughes - who also photographs and shoots his own reference in studio. You can't tell it's there because A) He's a really good fucking artist to begin with and B) he uses the photos as an aid, and draws them more interpretively so you can't tell the gesture was taken from a photo. It isn't just a literal copy like what Land is doing.

I'm just sayin'...

Yes, every artists has something they aren't as good at. You want to go somewhere like Massive Black and spew this shit about working around your faults? Do that if you want, deviantart will probably be around for a long time. They hand out asspats like books at the library over there. If you really want to be a great artist though, you have to confront and overcome your weaknesses, and get OUT of your comfort zone or you might as well find something else to do.
The rest of your post rambles on, but I'd like to thank you for pointing out that most great artists in history drew from life. I never realized this (I am in fact, clinically retarded) and feel bad for decrying the practice. ...Oh wait, I went into great detail about the proper utilization of live figures in the service of art.
Definitely not an artist. There's nothing wrong with using anything if it means a good looking image, unless of course you are in some diabolical contest of skill! You and Greg Land should suck each others' cocks.
Nope. Using it as a learning experience helps you. Using it to "get by" to finish a piece not only doesn't help you, it hurts you.
Again, nothing anyone here asked about or disagreed with. All this means is that you disagree with my point yet don't actually understand it. Either that or you do understand but are throwing out strawmans left and right like caltrops out of desperation.

I love the color composition in this piece. Do you know who did it?LiquidMamba said:
Metroidvania said:Found a nice Raiden, like the color scheme here better than the official art.
Raging Spaniard said:What color scheme? Gray?
Metroidvania said::lol
I dunno, Raiden in-game seemed a bit washy due to the lighting.

I really like the solid gray and black in the above art, sets the mood for Raiden's character.
/has no idea on the technical terms of what he's talking about, or if that makes sense, sorry.
HK, where are you finding all of those?
