What's wrong with using MSPaint? What's wrong with surrealism?
It looks really bad, and doesn't seem to do much besides look bad. The artistic quality of your work and the message contained therein have the same amount of subtlety, coherence and cohesion as your average myspace website.
Did you even draw the little anime doodle person on the bottom left?
i'm sorry but the very first thing i think of when i see this is "why am i still looking at this"
the bottom of your I on "is strength" is touching your outline
the outlines themselves are jagged
the colour quality of the little anime dude is awful
what are you trying to say with that middle shape?
Besides taking various elements from other sources (the background, the anime person in the corner, and the text), what did you personally do other than draw a weird shape and a building of some type that says "GIVE" on it? Just because it has a lot of colors and does not make sense at all, does NOT make it "surrealism."
I have a lot more to say, but since I don't frequent here often, I'm not sure what is appropriate. But I think that the fact that I have to hold myself back says something about this thread. Seems to me like you were expecting this reaction.
Now, ask yourself some questions:
1: Have you studied other surrealistic works?
2: What message did you intend to convey? I might guess that it had to do with the theme of constant give and take in the war in 1984, but you left out the take part, and the mailbox wouldn't fit.
I produced everything in this picture 100%. I'm sorry if you don't like it.
I think perhaps you've missed the point of AC. It's not that we "don't like it", it's that it has a variety of glaring flaws, and we're pointing them out to you so you'll do better next time.
Go study up on surrealism and expressionism, figure out which one you want, then study the style before trying to do anything with it.
i think this is awesome.
i also don't think i'd change anything about it
i sense you had a deep and tragic past
also i feel there are some strong religious undertones
i also sense that this is an alt account from someone over at... i'm going to guess se++
I told you we shouldn't have let them in.
they come in with that one thread and then LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED!
Is your message Communism? Cause I swear that sighn looks like the Swatztica (sp?) on Acid I'm not really getting this. That free will is a curse onto which humans shall bear untill they die? As we should be controlled since were an uncontrollable race that can throw the whole planet into a chaotic order filled with murder and vainity?

So I saw this thread and holy shit, it... well... all I can really say is that I got the hugest boner.
Actually when I saw this thread my boner split in half and made two boners of equal size.
My boner grew another, smaller boner.
I showed this thread to my girlfriend and she immediately grew a boner, which promptly exploded.
I think this thread is giving me acne, but instead of zits, it's just a bunch of tiny boners all over my face and back.
Have you heard the expression "my boner just multiplied a thousand times over through mitosis or some shit?" because I think it applies to this situation. It's like a boner boquet and I can't even wear my trousers without feeling uncomfortable.
If you got rid of all the foreground elements (IE, the guy, the weird rainbow-ey hand, and the little guy that doesn't fit in at all, the faded dude that's randomly in the bottom right corner) it would be a lot better. granted, it would still be very jagged and blurry, but it would be better. The screaming guy's face is pretty cool. It gets +1000 points alone for not being ultra bright, ultra saturated like the hand and the "GIVE" guy.
Also, people's definition of art and surrealism differ, but if the majority think that it looks like crap, they just *might* be right.
Oh my god, I didn't even notice the random guy in the lower right or the screaming face in the background. That face is hilarious.
There is not one thing in that picture which is not offensive to my eyes. Add some lens flares and random Photoshop filters (might I recommend emboss?) to that puppy and you WIN!!
The absolute ignorance in this Thread has reduced my boner count, but upon viewing this fucking picture again all of my subsequent boners increased in Size and Stamina.
i want to know who it is, seriously.
reveal your true identity, you jokester
and for the love of god se++, try a little harder next time... I mean seriously, drawings of goku taking a dump on inuyasha's chest would have been much more convincing, also that shit is right up your alley, so... you know... a little effort guys, that's all I'm asking.

As 1984 inspired art goes this is kind of lame it doesn't give that boot in the face appeal the book does..

That was really just to hammer the point in. :P
Edit: To clarify, the point is that he might have meant to do expressionism, and failed because he didn't do any research.
This implies that he made it with some sort of purpose or vision instead of vomiting colors all over MS Paint.
I try to see the best in people. One might think over a decade on the internet would dull that hazardous instinct, but it's still there.
:P
It's not an anime guy, it a picture.
I produced everything in this picture 100%. I'm sorry if you don't like it.
was this like, one of those assignments where the teacher's like "design an alternate book cover that uses elements from the book etc"?

god who lets these woodland creatures in here anyways?
back to the topic at hand
serious art discussion.
i really like the colors you've chosen, it's really emphasizes the religious stuffs.
have you considered commissions?
I would pay up to 1000 US dollars for something of this quality
Also, people's definition of art and surrealism differ, but if the majority think that it looks like crap, they just *might* be right.
Also, LOL at replies.

You're just jealous of a revolutionary artist who has truly honed his craft.
