    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?

    its ugly, and very unpleasing to the eyes as the colors alone give me a headache from just looking at it for more than a few seconds.

    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.

    what about the "ministry of Plenty"? or is that the Give thing...

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

    Nothing's wrong with surrealism. What you have presented is not surrealism, unless you'd like to take a few fleeting words to convince me I'm wrong.

    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 guess i'd be cowering in a corner too if i woke up in a horrible universe of swirling colours, demmanding green squares, and 1984 quotes.

    was this like, one of those assignments where the teacher's like "design an alternate book cover that uses elements from the book etc"?

    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.

    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.




    Also, LOL at replies.

    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!!
