it seems like he painted the one with the creature that has buildings for arms and the dragon chasing the artist, but yeah, most of these are collages of 3D work and photos

cake is just miserable because he has all that technical ability and no imagination
Man I think Tugboat is meditating or something. Hes staring at the bubble wall and floating in the EXACT SAME PLACE, like, fooshes his fins once to stay in the same spot without moving and just stares at it. I am going to paint him.

I think photo collages are fine for production work (concept art...not illustration) but that doesn't mean I can't make wisecracks about it. Using a picture of a building to put a building into your environment is so terribly practical but so terribly mundane.
What scares me more is the amount of admiration people have for that sort of thing. I would love to be a fantastic concept artist but part of the reason I don't pursue it is because of the 'anything goes' mentality that you must have to get the job done. At the end of the day I want to feel proud of the work I am doing and while I would certainly love to have images like his in my portfolio, I think knowing how I produced them would nag at me.
That said my twofavorite images that were posted are probably the most heavy with photowork. I think that has more to do with my love for futuristic cities than anything though. These definitely take a lot of skill to put together, you need a keen eye for a lot of things that I do not have a keen eye for. But I just feel like there needs to be someone on here that shows some skepticism towards this kind of work or this community will spiral into the depths of CA.org style worship that really isn't productive.
Man, my brother is getting married in 4 months... why is it that younger siblings turn out to be more successful than older ones?
My older sister and brother in law are an Harvard/MIT education dream team. I dont think that rule holds true.
Hi5, I am also the artsy 'hey you're never going to get a job' third child while my brother and sister went to Harvard/Georgetown, smarty pants bastards.
The bitter irony is they got very good and expensive educations in fields they didn't end up going into, whereas I got into my chosen field despite being handed a mediocre-at-best college art education.
A friend of mine is a highschool and college dropout but is making more than me working for VMWare. He sufferd through a few years of Apple callcenter support though.
My sister got a Bachelor's in Physics and now makes crazy money in a completely unrelated field, whereas my brother dropped out of college and now works with computers at a job he loves for decent enough pay. I'm the youngest of my family, and the first of the three of us to get a Master's degree (albeit in comics). It remains to be seen how much this degree will help me earn in the long run, but I'm sure for the experiences I've had here at school, it's more than worth it to me. I like to think you get as much out of your education as you put into it; an easy ride won't learn you nothin'.
Both my siblings are already married and have children of their own, so I'm firmly set in last place in that little race. I'm just hoping my lady and I can have kids while I'm still healthy enough to enjoy and support having a family.
We had an interesting lecture last year. A professor (who used to teach in a prestigious design school in Europe) told us that when they conducted a study on their graduates a while later, they found only around 10% of them had been taken up by design companies. So naturally they and frantically get to work finding out why none of their students could get employment. They then found out it wasn't that the students couldn't get employment, it's that they weren't getting employed as designers. Creative thinking skills, it seems, were valued in so many different fields that their students were getting taken up by a whole heap of different companies and professions - including executives and even in hospitals.
I was always miffed by the "you get out of school what you put into it" concept. I mean, you get out of learning on your own what you put into it too. But one of those options involves you spending an extra few tens of thousands of dollars.

frustrating shit
You want to be a plumber.
Serious response: what do you honestly want to do; what do you enjoy, and what are you good at?
No, thats the sucky way to go about it. We should just suggest jobs until he decides on one.
e: Or if you're like me, it'll motivate you to go into medical research.
Edit: Can you imagine hurtling in orbit around Earth, then getting sliced in half by the space elevator ribbon?
I've finally found a youtube clip and, seeing as I love it, it would not be fair to the song to leave it out of this thread

Aww man, too bad I can't stick around. Good night, everyone.

If Google told you it was Jump off a Bridge Day would you celebrate it?
yep

tl;dr: you never know where you'll end up.
Because I killed him and ate his brains.
Or not!
