Krystal: "Now, you see why I put the couch in the closet?"
Fox: "Mmm-hmmm."

I've seen these two all over and I've never actually done a picture of them together before. *laughs* Never thought about it really. But after seeing countless images of them just rendered standing there... No fur... No substance. They are just there. *shakes head*

Allow me to explain... I'm not bashing on anyone. Far from really. I actually applaud anyone who comes on anywhere there are "traditional" artists and posts 3D artwork. Because the general feeling among traditional artists is that it's "too easy" to create 3D. Sadly, when I look at artwork with no thought or feeling... Like for an example Krystal against a completely black background, no postwork, no fur, nothing and then someone saying, "It's Krystal she's Kawaii." Or some nonsense (I hate anime fans who butcher the Japanese language mostly because I speak and read Japanese and I didn't learn from a manga or cartoon... It's annoying to me. *laughs*) and then the person goes on to post 100's of pictures of the same Krystal without changing it much. An arm up... A leg up... A smile... Etc. The list goes on and on.

3D art... For me at least is about evolution. How far can you push the software to make everything look real? How far can you push your own imagination until you have something that conveys your feelings and other people can tell what those feelings are when they look at it?

Art is about expression... Even people who just scribble something on to a canvas and call it art have some kind of feeling behind it. Someone else sees and feels that feeling and buys it or proclaims it a great work of art...

Krystal... Spread eagle is not art... Krystal standing there smiling stupidly at the camera on a black background is not art...

So what's my point... My point is... Put some thought... Put some feelings in to it. Don't just render it because you have the model and you can render it. Put some post work in to it. Put some effort in to it. Because... *laughs* if you're going to work in a 3D medium... Be different, be creative, and most of all... DON'T BE LAME!!


Thank you... And good night.


*waits for the hate from people who think I'm talking about them and chuckles.*
