Do you mean Ferrari? The Ferrari crest is a stallion. That symbol looks like a serpent and a crown to me.

You are god. No comm.

Do you sketch out your work on paper and pencil first before doing it digital?.
One more question do you use the mouse to draw? cause I do, and I find it a challenge..but I luv a challenge anyhow hehe. Yet alone drawing with pencil for me I get it perfect in every way "I'm not concieded"

answer if you have the time thanks....



dreary rain...luv it >=P it is raining isnt it hehe

BLaTzX ouT....

you dont get the point here.
for sure, no one is drawing especially for me, as i dont draw for anyone special. BUT, in my understanding of art, i (as well as a lot of other artist) make art not only for myself. if so, i would keep it on my harddisk and never show it to anyone.
so, I'M very interested what people think if they view my pictures and not only if they cry "oh thats great". on the contrary, im more intersted what they like and what not, and the most important thing, what they feel about them.

but, english is not my mother tongue so maybe i express myself sometimes mistakable.
this picture is technically excellent, thats why i wrote "technically: 12" ( you are only able to vote from 0 to 10, see) .
apart from that, i wrote what i FEEL when i view this picture. ( see, its the opposite to "analyze"). if steven wanted to make a pic that shows the "visual violence" of an tank and a soldier, my comment is a compliment. if he wanted to make a beautiful picture of an tank he failed. and thats mainly because only someone who is deeply disturbed could find a pic of a tank "beautiful".
and with my statement bout the "close perspective" (btw - i dont wrote "horrible perspective".. reading carefully helps sometimes) i meant that the perspective underlines the the scary, violent atmosphere of the picture. but if someone never thought about how to use perspectives in pictures, one cant understand this...

however, I don't care a pap for your opinion, but if my comment was mistakable i wanted to clear that.

a) i know deeply disturbed, and he just might find a pic of tank beautiful.

(this is so loaded with iCE puns, and its probably way over your head).

but back to the point.

Dude, if english isnt your "mother tongue" then make sure when you say stuff you express yourself correctly. english just happens to be my mother tongue and i read a lot of your comments as negative. you're asking me to assume you mean the opposite of half the things you say, and well im just not that smart.

and for as to wether you give a pap about my opinion, i dont expect you to.

let me clarify this though. I happen to think the picture of this tank IS beautiful. and no, im not deeply disturbed, ... quite mentally healthy actually. Its not that scary to me, or violent for that matter. its just a dude with a gun walking, during a time period i have no idea. no nightmares here... although it did scare my cat. just kidding i dont even have a cat.


Just so you know, let me point out the english abnormalities in your post.

POST BY THISIGN (Scroll up to see actual)..


puhh > well stated > not so well stated. see, in english, when you make a sentence like that "but the atmosphere is horrible" .. it means "but how you drew the atomosphere was horribly done" no where do you clarify, the atmosphere made you FEEL horrible. > again, you clearly show your disenchantment with this particular picture. > again, .. you're saying something about the picture. you are analyzing, not feeling the perspective. according to your analysis, the perspective is too close. for you at least <<

lets face it man, either you dont know jack about english or... you were dissing a picture that didnt need to be dissed.

maybe you do like other stahlberg pics better. that's fine. maybe even, the perspective is too close for you. but learn how to say it in a proper manner as to no inflame mother english speakers such as myself.


Inner Vision

hehe.. i would flame with you a bit longer, but you bore me. sorry.
read my explanation again and i'm sure a whippersnapper like you will understand what i wanted to say.
apart from that, i'm very sure if stephen dislike my first comment he would be able to verbalize that by himself.
so, do me a favour, go away and look for others to squabble with...

° thisign °

Whippersnapper. hhahaha.


right.

i think i'll abide by the rules now, and cut this thread off now. i think i've made my point.

Inner Vision

Well, it really has visual violence of some sort...
Have you heard the word 'atmosfear'?.. I don't really know where did it come from,
but it describes the pic quite correctly.
Fascist invasion, exterminator squads, biological war etc.
(just gave out some things that give me the same feeling)

yup. that's about my toughts too...
I really luve it tho. Not all art has to caress my heart, some will sting like a bee and still be beautiful...

bet your tired of reading these replys but if Steven is an artist he knows what a critique is. Saying you love a picture dosen't help the artist, but it may feed his ego, haha. What people, maybe not people but other artists, don't like in the picture actually helps the artist. even though he may not agree with that person it actually does help. I like this picture but i have nothing to say that would help the artist that already hasn't been said. as for tanks are horrible, I think tanks are engineering masterpeices, maybe i say this cause someone i know designs them.

I shall never see my homeland again.
Exile.

Sorry, forgot - BLaTzX, your second question - I use a stylus for drawing, painting. I use the mouse occasionally for some blurring and retouching, but I much prefer the stylus.

hey thats awsome..thanks for info... =) Now I know what to do to help myself as an artist in the digital realm
