Hey there I was wondering, Would it be ok to start a post of cutouts? (PNG) I mean what graphic artist wouldn't love a centralized location to get already extracted images of their favorite model? Is this something that can be allowed? Please let me know. Thanks


GW

As long as its promo material (stuff not just inside their member's area) i dont see why not? lol

Yeah just from the posts of yourdailygirls.com thats where I get mine.

Thought of that myself before too, but I'm not that good at cutting out the images. The forum will take the photoshop file format as attachments too if you want to do them that way.

I don´t really see the point. Isn´t the whole idea with fanart that people should do the work themself?

I agree with Patrick.

If Random Guy comes and posts a new wallpaper he made, when all he did was take a cut out by Demonic and a wallpaper background he found online, does he really need a gold star for designing something my grandmother could have slapped together if given the same puzzle pieces? heh

Myself, I think those that can do wallpapers, do them great and don't really need help. Those that can't do them, have an option... either hit youtube and learn how to cut out or create depth of field or whatever else they're after, like a lot of people have.... or they stick with downloading walls others have created. heh

Yea, sounds kinda silly when you say it that way.

Yeah I'm not giving out my cuts. no offense, but it takes a while to do. besides I had to learn how to do it everyone else that wants to do stuff for models should have to as well. Highly doubt I would like most other people's cuts anyways

+1 for Patrick, James and Spinnr. Not trying to bash you by any means, wizard, but that kinda takes away from the whole "artist" part of being a wallpaper artist.

While the most creative part of a wallpaper is in the choice of background, font, and overall composition... the whole reason of making the wall is for the model. To just grab someone else's work like that would pretty much annoy any one of us that are trying to make a name for ourselves as digital artists.

Can someone delete this post and smack me around a few times? LOL That was definitely a wet dream. Sorry

I think it might be different if say people wanted to collaborate on some stuff. maybe. but not interested in doing work for everyone else.




p.s. I would be glad to smack you around if you want

No worries! You started a conversation. That's what forums are all about.

Not for me. Most of the walls i make have nothing to do with the model. The model is just another part of the wall that´s there to emphasize the feeling/emotion/theme or whatever you wanna call it that i´m trying to create. The only time i would make something that have no other thought behind it than to promote the model or her site is if i get paid to do it.

So you create all your own fonts from scratch then?




I'm no artist of any kind, but if someone wants to put their cutouts or whatever out there for all to use, I say let 'em.




Of course, if I was a cynical bastard, I would suspect GW of trying to sucker others into sharing their cutouts so he doesn't have to do them himself.

No... I didn't create the fonts I use... nor did I write the programming behind Photoshop or press the CPU's that power my computer (which I DID build myself, BTW). But I did NOT design and build the mouse that I use... and I am not the divine creator of color, nor that of the beautiful models that I use in my walls. Therefore I am not an artist. Thank you for clarifying that.

It sounds like you're reading far more into my post than I intended.

To be Cynical, I am more than proficient in image extractions such as Hair, fur and just about anything in those categories. I'll challenge anyone that says anything different

Just playing, I am really good at extractions, I was just being thoughtful of getting quality art for the models... Didnt mean to start anything, Just being nice.

What about spiky little insect and arachnid legs? Or the cilia found in the gastro-intestinal tract?

and 99.9% of all bacteria's too

People like to run off on tangents and turn mole hills into mountains, around here. You're fine. I know Panthro is just tryin to push buttons and be a silly willy.

Careful about being too proud of your work though

You know, I bet there probably isn't much of a market for bacterialogical wallpapers, anyway.
