Digital art overrated as fuck now...

[StickyGreen]

i remember like back in middle school when me and a friend started fuckin with photoshop and got that eye candy shit...we were makin 3d text with flames and shit thinkin it was the coolest shit on earth. look at this shit now though...any lame ass can get photoshop and create some pretty coo lookin shit...too much competition...all this shit is overrated now, anyone can make all this art. there are a few people makin shit on a different level, but not many. just my thoughts lol

 

[Cellski415]

thats excelent!!!!

 

[Snubnoze]

ROFL!@thinking using eyecandy= being good at graphics.......

 

[EvilWayz]

lol.............its true you can make some eye catching stuff wit filters (no actual work), but you can make even better lookin material from scratch..................i encoure everybody to find a site that has tutorial on certain effects and just practice..........ALOT.........

 

[RevoL]

you can say the same shit bout anything in the hip hop industry....look at all the washed up rappers comin out wit bullshit...all it takes is a computer with weak ass fruity loops...jus look at all the people who buy a korg triton and all of a sudden they think they're a producer...why you singlin out graphic artists...not everyone uses eye candy or any filters for that matter and thinks they're some pro...people do it for the same reason rappers rap, expression...weather you're good at it or not...you think a rapper or dj is sick right off the back, nah it takes time and practice...there's competition in everything...i'd rather buy a 3x krazy album than some white kid in the midwest who jus picked up a mic, jus like someone would rather have shemp do thier cover than some kid who jus downloaded photoshop and has 20 plug ins and 10 fonts...

 

[KODOGG]

IM a white kid..

 

[Eksel Media]

um...i agree, but poeple have there ways of doing shit, some actually like graphics, and some just want to fit in...and some just want to look good...(my 2 cents)...oUT

 

[RevoL]

IM a white kid..

very proud of you...i said that simply to set an example...that's the way this industry works...some people may not like it but it's the truth...2 of my favorite rappers are white, eligh and grouch but they put in work to get where they're at, compared to some kid jus startin out thinkin he's the next eminem...jus like some kid who downloaded photoshop and calls himself a graphic designer/artist...i'm no pro, i downloaded photoshop, but i'm puttin in an effort to get better...competition is everywhere that's how we survive

 

[CcytzO Loc]

Yeah it goes for both rap and graphic design.....i fucc wit photoshop but i dont claim to be a great artist...i wanna go to school and actually learn about the trade....but its also what people like....to each they own...i mean i dont think Revols shit is tight but a lot of other peeps do.... the only graphic artist thats on another level is Shemp....Evil Ways and Mista Maja be comin wit sicc shit too....

 

[RevoL]

i mean i dont think Revols shit is tight but a lot of other peeps do....

thanks for the honesty

 

[EvilWayz]

.. the only graphic artist thats on another level is Shemp....Evil Ways and Mista Maja be comin wit sicc shit too....

thanx dogg, but i think Maja is more on Shemps level than mine........thatz just real chop, im honor'd that you think i am though..........

@KODogg.......trust me Revol didnt mean nuttin by that, he was just makin a point, and a very good one.........

and i agree alittle wit Sticky, how just anybody wit Photoshop callz themselves a graphic artist, but im guilty of that too.........thats how i started, and if it were'nt for the guildence and advice of the board OG's i would have never grown as an artist............so instead of talkin down to the cats you think are fakin tha funk, lend them a helpin hand.........cuz a little compition never hurt nobody :devious:

 

[KODOGG]

Hey back up woop woop ... I got.. Like 10 dayz on photoshop left.. IM a artists!! THE NEXT SHEMP!! Hey brb goin down to Radio Shack (IN THE GHETTO) and pickin up a $20.00 microphone and gonna become a rapper.. woop woop.. LoL.. Anywayz.. I know he didnt mean anything about it.. I was simply saying.. Im white!

 

[Snubnoze]

I dont' see how you can think its "overrated" its a whole bizness. Thats like saying music is overrated ROFL. Go pick up a magazine, buy a movie, see an ad on the wall, see a movie poster, drink out of a pepsi can, turn on the tv, GRAPHIC DESIGN IS EVERYWHERE. Its not limited to rap covers.. .c'mon now...

Real chop Revol....

Yo,I kinda agree Sticky juuuuust a lil bit...Though a lot of shawties got PS,the way they use it plays a role also...Anyone can put text & images on a canvas and add filters & plugins and voila,shits ALMOST looking pretty cool...
But then you got the likes of Shemp,one who knows how to use PS to his advantage.Art is about color schemes,montages,and consistency...Theirs kinda like a law behind it ya dig...Some so-called artist sit down and just fool around with PS and upload some shit.Then,you got guys like SHEMP whos sitting down for hours laerning the in-n-outs.Being persistent with it.Working PS instead of vice-versa...Theirs thing that can be done in PS by a skilled artist that a regular jo have no clue on how it got done...Its deep!!! But hey,to each they own...

@sticky green -i think marijuana is "overrated", i mean just cuz you can roll it up in a blunt or buy a bong from the local chinc store, you think you're a pro smoker, talkin bout "stickygreen" like you know the ins and outs of growin marijuana, you've prolly never seeen marijuana on the plant, you just stole it from your pops. i bet you dont know shit about the real effects marijuana has on your cerebral, or the laws that restrict it form being used legally. or even about the pro-marijuana groups that are marching around America right now.

go "overrate" something else like bowl cuts or baseball cards, and get your foot out of your mouth.

peace...

 

[EvilWayz]

lol @Upheav..............good shit dogg

 

[StickyGreen]

lol upheavel....nice ASSUMPTIONS...assumptions cuz you just assuming you dont know shit bout me. and what the fuck you talkin about? ive grown plants that got to like 6 feet producing pounds. lmao. you are right though back in the day i did steal buds from my pops hahaha...and yes im aware of all the effects and laws and shit...so what though? lol i shouldnt even have posted this shit cuz everyone gettin all butthurt, im jus talkin bout certain people who think they're the shit makin some simple ass art talkin bout sellin it or doin it for money ahaha...its coo tho im not tryin to dog your lil hobby

 

[Upheaval]

MY ASSUMPTIONS COUNTERING YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
You're right, I dont know shit about you, and i dont give a fuck, but you are the one who came up into our board running your mouth about what you know about us, and about our "hobby". we didnt give a damn about your opinion until we wasted our time reading it.
as far as "hobby" you are mistaken, this is my life, my bread & butter, my fancy, theres no welfare checks sportin my bills.
take your pounds of "plants" and update yourself on a multimillion dollar industry of GRAPHIC DESIGN

peace...
