Do you agree with the judges?

[lil'mo]

They all suck.

Hope that's helpful.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Lots of Dali rip offs but they're all ok to eh.

[Sportcamper]

This is one of those invisible gorilla tests right…I think I saw him a couple of times…

[Lance]

They all suck.

Hope that's helpful.

:lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

they suck man

[I am Tom]

That place is a rip off. you pay 90.00 dollars to send in an image and some guy who is friends with the site owner wins. If you look at the link the one guy sent in over four images, that is like 360.00 dollars no wonder he is in the top three. and what did he win?

a 50.00 dollar box of software. :lmao

[U.S.A.F.]

they suck man


It would be nice if some of you could post some that don't suck so i can get an idea of what is good computer art.

[Spam]

They all suck major ass.

[grindmouse]

When I sent my image in it was only 60.00 dollars if you send it in early. 90.00 dollars afterward. Since I didn't pay in time I was just going to drop out of the competition. Then the site owner told me in an email "what a shame yours is the best so far"

So I got another 30.00 dollars and sent in the 90 just so see someone with no skills beat me?

My image took time it was different and cool to look at. I can only imagine how others feel.

I don't think I will enter next month.

I didn't even get honorable mention.

[Lance]

They all suck major ass.

I don't think USAF just wants posters to say "they all suck"

or "some suck" I think he wants the "art critics" of the club to say why the ones that won were better than the ones that didn't.

my 2 cents...........

[grindmouse]

I saw some art in here done by ST posters that was 10 times better than the shit that won.

[U.S.A.F.]

The top one shows more creativity and has a nice earth tone. The bottom one looks too much computer generated and looks like a cheeseball with some chips floating around.

First off mr wolf its called MOCA museum of Computer Art it's supposed to look like its made with the computer.

second, is your eye site that bad, you rather have that boring cream color one dimension image than the large colorful image at your home or office?

I like that one too. Reminds me of werewolfs, what with the bloody smear and the full moon. :) There's also an interesting "moon over water" in the bottom left half of the picture.

http://moca.virtual.museum/festival10/imagesonline/image020.jpg

The first one, visually, is very "Alice in Wonderland". There's some interesting textures, and a semblance of theme (look at all the gates, the pacman ghosts on the top left and bottom right). It tells much more of a "story" than the bottom one.

[bigzak25]

To put it simply Mouse, your art is bursting with style, but has little substance.

The best art is all about substance.

See if you can combine the two on your next projects.

As for your contests, man, I'd be very leery of online stuff where they are most likely sending the same "that's a shame, yours is the best so far" email to every artist that hasn't sent in their money yet.

Good luck! :toast

can you explain what theme you get from a naked lady?

[I am Tom]

You all that are talking about themes and certain types of art are all off base. the reason is if you look at the past art contest the winners are all over the place. What won last month would lose this month. There is no certain style or theme that is sought after, if so then all the artists would have been doing it by now. look at the past winners.

http://moca.virtual.museum/physical.htm

This wins 2nd place? WTF? my kids can do better.

You just proved my point. I wish you'd listen. I'm trying to help you.

Add some substance...some 'meaning' whatever that may be...to your great style of art...your bright colors and crisp images...and you will have a winner.

As pretty as it may be, there is no substance to that impala. It is what it is.

But the owl...weird eyes...a pot belly...moon on the side...some branches with leaves...couple of dogs underneath...this art has meaning...who knows what that meaning is...but I assure you, the artist knows.

Find some meaning for what you want to create and then use your talents to create a masterpiece. Again, Good luck! :toast

[Opinionater]

IMHO, your view or art is clearly differs from what the judges are looking for. Does the art speak to them or make them go WTF?? Art is so subject to one's personal tastes and likes that no two people may see it the same way. I wouldn't be sending out $50 to get someone's opinion.

[I am Tom]

You just proved my point. I wish you'd listen. I'm trying to help you.

Add some substance...

You call a fucked up owl substance? :lmao

look at the links many good artists are getting the shaft.



ok lets test your art skills i will post three winners and three losers tell me which are which.

I'll guess that 1, 5 and 6 were winners. *shrug* (All I know is that 3 better not have won.)

[bigzak25]

I pick 1 and 5 as well.

Not really sure what 4 is...2 seems a bit interesting.

So which were which Mouse?

123 are loser images.

[JoeChalupa]

123 are loser images.

So which one was yours?

[bigzak25]

Well I personally like 1 better than 6, but I should have known 4 would be a winner...other than what look like shirt buttons, I cannot discern what is going on in the piece.

As for your art, the point remains...think of something...and idea...an ideal...maybe something painful...then use the talents you have and create a masterpiece with it instead of just something pretty to look at. Good luck man...

And when you are ready to get back into performing art and comedy, give me a call, as we have much work to do...I have ideas like never before. You film me, I film you...we splice and dice, add some soundtracks, and it's big time time. Talk to you soon. :tu
