I think the balance can be easily fixed by moving the leg that he's kneeling on to the left by a pixel or two.

I'm in the camp of those who say art is the short form of artificial, as in, 'not-given', created by a conscious living entity from the stuff that was already there and everything that was created out of it before. But that would mean, that literally almost everything that was ever created in that way is art, every hammer, every nail, every pick and spade, computer processors, every house ever built, every garden ever planted, etc... even life itself would be art. So what seperates created stuff of the one kind from the created stuff of the other kind that we like to refer to as art? Is it the purpose it was made for? Is it important who created it? Is it only art if it requires skill and consciously taken decisions to make it?

Perhaps the image you were thinking of was something by ptoing? Maybe his MSX Robots or The Pink Primate?

Goog job anyway and I too thought it was supposed to be Batman from the preview.

Yay, thanks everyone.

Well then, stop bitchin' about it, pick one thing and start practicing. Or just doodle around without worrying about the results.

Brainfart. (inspired by this weeks challenge)

I like the idea for a "The First PixelPusher" challenge. Should be interesting to see, everyone can pick someone who he thinks was the first and pixel a shrine to worship that person. :) Or make it more generic and pick any person that was important in computer(graphics) history.

I think the first pixelpusher will remain a mystery. What would we do if we knew his/her name? Would we build/pixel our own shrines and worship him/her like a god? :)

Well, I don't have a name for the first pixelpusher either but I think it's safe to say it was not Susan Kare, because the time she designed the Icons for Apple was already ten years after the Xerox Alto computer and the SuperPaint system had been developed and used at Xerox PARC.

So, who was it? Was it Damon Rarey, using Superpaint or was there some raster image editor/artist even before that?

The first ever pixel pusher hm, depends on whether we're talking about pixels that need electricity to work or whether that also includes everything that works without power. In case of e-pixels, I'd say Max Dieckmann and Gustav Glage, as they were the first ones to use a Braun-Tube (aka CRT) to display letters.

Stop! Education-Time: What I was referring to as 'beerday' yesterday was not actually the official beerday. Yesterday was a religious holiday here (The Ascension Of Jesus), also known as fathers day. It has become a tradition over the years for men to gather up on that day and to stroll around with a handcart full of all kinds of booze with the goal to drink and have fun. The real beer day is a US Navy tradition and there's also an international beer day.

hehe, happy beerday tomic and happy birthday to everyone else forever and always %)

Good, I'll follow with full frontal accusation, accompanied by a hint for readers. Has anyone told ptoing yet?

Wow, is there a way to report art theft on deviant art?

Thanks guys, glad you like it.

If you're uninspired, there's always the weekly challenge.

Thanks Stickman.

A face in the apple was not intended  (admittedly, I can't see it).

Kachoom: Mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mons-ter FAV.. eh I mean instant fav.

Hey that was funny. Not crazy-awesome-gottawetmypants-funny but still worth the three minutes.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. 'twas a good day, had lots of fun. Now it's over. I'm drunk and I'll go sleeping.

hehe, thanks. :)

Happy Birthday jamon, sinkquick, hotnikkelz and Ponac! 

"too hard"?

If it is too hard, you need more practice. Don't be a lazy slacker and put more effort into your work, like you did with the Misterious Mage.

Looks like he's humping that thing.
