I was feeling pent up, so I wanted to vent with my opinions.
I talk with some friends about art from time to time. We share the things we've done, what we think about each others pieces, and just talk about what we think art is. To me, it's an experience.
Art helps form
decisiveness,
experimentation,
mental concentration,
and even your emotions.
But there's always something that kills me:
Artists who aren't proud of their art.
It's natural to feel unimpressed with your previous works. Hell, when I look back on mine, it almost makes me sick. But that's where I was, and where I am makes me feel more confident about trying new things. When I first joined this site, I hardly posted anything. Mostly browsing or talking with a man named
The first picture I ever posted was this:
I couldn't tell you I like this with a straight face. But do I regret it? Not at all.
This picture alone helped me forge new relations ships with people. It gave me confidence that I could post things that others would enjoy.
Two years later, I posted my first Garry's Mod picture:
Nothing like what I make nowadays. I hardly use Gmod at all anymore.
But it made me realize something.
I liked doing this.
Making pictures.
Posing 3D models.
Editing pictures.
In not even a year, I switched to Source Filmmaker:
Looking back, I hate this picture. How it's posed, how it's edited, everything.
But I don't regret it one bit.
It was after this picture that I realized that I couldn't stay in my comfort zone. SFM took some learning, and I was excited to learn.
I soon got images in my head. Scenes I wanted people to see. SFM would prove an ample outlet, but they never quite turned out the way I saw them.
One-hundred and eighty-six pictures later, I still have no regrets about learning how to make my visions reality.
But not a single one was made to cater to people's likes.
None of them were made because people just wanted it.
In every picture, even to today, I have experimented with a new technique; different colors, different composition, different scenes, different poses. All to make what I want.
So when you compare scenes like to things like , I'll prefer the latter in a heartbeat. But I don't regret what I used to make.
Art isn't just a method for money. You can't just make one image and have people expect greatness from you. You learn in everything you do. And you don't need to stop learning.
Art is a vision.
Find what makes your vision yours.
And never stop creating.

Star Wars models for DAZ
Images of available Star Wars models for your 3D rendering. Note that these are not downloads but, where possible, download links will be on the pages. Some are hi-res characters and clothing for G8 and G3 models, some are simple objects such as vehicles. I'm hoping this will be a fairly exhaustive look at both free and premium models available for Star Wars fans.

Alternative art sharing sites?
Does anyone know of other, more distinguished art sites where I could post my stuff to?
Deviantart's nice and all but . . . you know . . .
Any other sites you guys know about?
*sharply exhales* Art thief.
Hooray for drama!
So I've finally had my art stolen. That's just wonderful, ain't it?
It means my art is actually worth trying to steal. So that's good. I think.
Here's what was stolen:
Not only is the stolen version missing the watermark, it's also about 1/7th of the full size.
Fan-bleeding-tastic.
I've got work to do, I don't need this drama . . .
What? A Picarto?!
I'm not dead btw.
But I am going through finals.
So I might be.
Anyway, I just set up my own Picarto account. I'll try to stream me doodling around in SFM as much as possible. Maybe even other art types, if you guys want that. Who knows.
Here should be the link to it.
Hope to see you there, if I actually stream on a regular basis!
I'm not dead.
I'm just dumb.

So you see it as an experience and have no regrets about the work that compared to now is not as good? I don't know if I understand completely.
