I'm Making a Stand.

Zen · **I'm Making a Stand. -** 02-20-2004, 12:42 AM

Ok boys and girls , I want to know something.

Alot of work gets posted here and most of it is fair photoshopping.

Yet all I hear is the word cliche.

What the fuck.

The damn 10,000 WWII sigs I have seen pass through here is cliche. The damn gamming sigs are cliche. Hell even the band sigs are getting old fast.

I know this is AA. I understand that , no problem.

But what happened to the artists?

What happened to the new thinkers?

There used to be some 1337 shit going on under alot of posts.
My point to this tread is to see if any of you guys still got it.

I have been making semi-decent sigs here for about a year. And I owe almost ALL of my knowledge to those AAers that were good enough to give some guidance.

I'm not trying to critisize anyone , you guys know me better than that. But come on , what the hell happened.

I want to see what you guys got.

I want to see you take me up on my chalenge and put out some shit that will make Newt Proud , make Dave post a compliment , make Animal say " thats actually really good. "

LOL!!

I know what your thinking. But he used to compliment on a fairly frequent basis.

You know this post has nothing to do with the leetweb guys.

Some of these guys are spectacular artists. But I think that they are not making the sigs that are good examples of there tallent because of of some stupid , don't want to look bad shit.

That goes for you too AM , I know you can do better.

I'm just saying, that's probably impossible to make something that EVERYONE likes. Sorry zen, lol.

I'll try after school today though..

Zoner · 02-20-2004, 06:36 AM

People get awful riled up over signatures, huh?

I'm not some artist with a pencil-thin mustache, sipping absinthe while listening to Tori Amos. I'm just some hack who goofs off at work by diddling with Photoshop.

If some of you haven't noticed, this isn't the Louvre. Gaming images, war images, band images...all par for the course. So, I agree with Zen and drop the fucking elitist attitude. None of you are very good at Photoshop...myself included.

Get over yourselves.

Johnj · 02-20-2004, 07:02 AM

I'm with the Zone on this one.

Zoner · 02-20-2004, 08:08 AM

Testify. I'm just telling it like it is.

Speak for yourself. cool: I have a job based on my Photoshop ability. Anyway, getting back on topic, I believe the innovative stuff comes in waves. That's what it does for me at least. If you look at all my stuff, you can see different phases of styles.

No offense, Magnum, but none of us have anything on guys like this:

By the way, I'm jealous of your work. I'd love to get paid to create graphics. Lord knows I'm looking...

Short Hand · 02-20-2004, 02:01 PM

so my exterior grunging wasnt a new idea when it came about ?. Im pretty sure that and mixing in to the 2 colour extrapolation isnt very cliche. Guarnere does alot of work which isnt cliche but "his style. Hell even zoner has kept a distinct unique style in comparision. The trick is to dig threw all the bullshit to find the more pure shit. Yopu can't expect everyone to post up pieces of art 100% orginal. Inspiration doesnt hit me or nayone else in the ass 24/7. oOo:
