hey mods, any chance you can sould a newsletter, that informs about the hidden threads that are going on on this site.. and put me on the list? i hate it when i miss something entertaining ;D


iLKke (Level 8 Cannibal) at 2/25/2009 11:54:17 AM

Hey, guys, let's not bring the subject up again. I believe the misunderstanding has been settled :)


Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/25/2009 2:38:17 AM

You don't have the full story. The pieces in question have been deleted due to the hostility I received by uploading them. I understand everyone will side with the long term posters here, but make sure you know the facts before passing judgement.


pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 2/24/2009 12:31:34 PM

and to comment about the art:

I like it. It's highly stylized and fun! Yes, it's definitely more simple than your other pieces but, sometimes, less is more.


pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 2/24/2009 12:29:56 PM

Wade: this is absolutely silly bs. You did indeed start flaming the conversation here. There's no ifs ands or buts about it. I have seen the comments on the one and only piece you've submitted and there's nothing there that suggests they were being "harsh" or "rude" but, rather, they were pointing out the fact that it isn't pixel art. We've seen this type of art trying to fit in here before and it doesn't work at all. You should do your own homework before going off on a community and its members.

This conversation is over but, should you wish to continue it, feel free to PM me and we'll sort it out. If you choose to continue this in a non-productive way as you have been, you will be asked to leave.

We have 13 year olds on this site that act more mature than you. Grow up


Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 2/3/2009 9:47:23 PM
iLKke, don't even listen to Wade, he's just being negative. Pixels are for fun, not to make someone say HOLY SHIT every time they see your work! You continue doing what YOU want to do, because I think everything simple has it's own charm. :D

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/28/2009 3:07:14 PM

Jamon: Oh, I understand much better now. If you think they're photo reduced I am very flattered. Thanks! I had a lot of people say this about my Photoshop work too until I started making videos. Photorealism is just my style.


jamon (Level 8 Marshal) at 1/27/2009 6:14:24 AM
Yea Wade...

"I don't understand why anyone would feel proud of such work."

"It requires no skill whatsoever"

"If this was my board, I wouldn't approve this kind of 'art' (haha) pixelled or not."

You forgot to say >> that those comments are under pictures that are photo reduced!<<


Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/26/2009 11:23:52 PM
Ilkke: Likewise. If you want to upload tacky little scribbles, don't expect me to be impressed.

iLKke (Level 8 Cannibal) at 1/26/2009 7:02:17 PM
@Big Brother: It's OK, I don't mind the hijacking, and I'm not really bothered by Wade's comments.
@Wade: You would have heard most of what I told you from someone else anyway. I've showed you what others said about my old scene-pixels. I hope you read those comments before feeling insulted. If you want to upload copied photographs from ten years ago, be my guest, but don't expect my gratitude. On the other hand, if you want to pixel something, then you are welcome to Pixel Joint and you can count on everyone's support and feedback, mine included. End of discussion, as far as I'm concerned.

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/26/2009 6:13:35 PM

Here are a few comments Ilkke made about my work:


"I don't understand why anyone would feel proud of such work."

"It requires no skill whatsoever"

"If this was my board, I wouldn't approve this kind of 'art' (haha) pixelled or not."

 

So yes I do confess, there is some retaliation on my part. But my point is, if someone can dish out such de-motivating and derisive comments to a new member of the board, he must be pretty exceptional. This to me is basic scribble with no effort or passion behind it.That said, I have still given the guy credit for one of his pictures.


big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 1/26/2009 4:48:11 PM
"Pretty awful for someone with such a big ego." = picking a fight. It's a judgment on both the work (awful) and the artist (big ego) without any useful specificity that iLKke could use to improve the piece. And in the context of you feeling wronged, this makes it petty also.

"Pretty awful for someone with such a big ego." does NOT  = artistic criticism (as Reo wrote before, but you didn't seem to read)

If you don't like it, maybe mention an aspect you think could be improved. Or maybe find a small aspect you DO like. For instance, I think the "cigarette with ash on the end"-shaped shadow is quite clever.

We both owe iLKke an apology for hijacking this thread. Sorry!

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/26/2009 3:12:37 PM
Big brother: Picking fights? I've left quite positive comments on one of your thumbnails and one of ilkke's pics. It's kinda strange how you guys like to dish out the criticism, but you don't like it in return. Exactly what I suspected and this proves it.

There's one piece of ilkkes work I really like and this piece I really don't like. If I was being petty, I'd have made nasty comments about all of his pictures and implied he was untalented (sounds familiar?) but I've been quite objective.

iLKke (Level 8 Cannibal) at 1/26/2009 10:54:50 AM
@BigBrother: Thanks, I like to experiment with rectangular stylization a lot, and then I thought why not try it with pixels? This one is actually based on a paper doodle I made.

big brother (Level 9 Rear Admiral) at 1/26/2009 9:23:27 AM
I'm a little confused why Wade's picking fights. He took his gallery down, so it's not like he's trying to contribute to or grow from this community. Maybe if we ignore him, he'll just go away. It's like a little mosquito that bites you in your sleep. While it's annoying, rather than turning all the lights on and expending effort to hunt it down, you could just wait a few days until it dies of old age. Let's just hope it's not carrying malaria. ;)

I find this piece appealing. It combines pixel-aesthetic with minimalist caricature -- identifiable as the performer through the stance and accessories. When I first saw this, the face read like a big nose, not sure if that's an intentional interpretation.

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/25/2009 6:23:34 AM
Reo: Compared to Ilkke mocking my work, saying it shouldn't be approved and that it takes no talent to do what I do, I think I've been very fair. I've just returned the harsh criticism.

Reo (Level 11 Sensei) at 1/25/2009 6:14:06 AM

Wade, to say that something looks ''awful'' is not feedback.

You're really acting immature here.

Love the style iLKke, Rock On!


Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/24/2009 12:10:07 PM
No, I'm just giving honest feedback. Don't give out the criticism if you can't take it.

iLKke (Level 8 Cannibal) at 1/24/2009 11:44:43 AM
@Wade: My opinon on your work has nothing to do with my ego. Also, it is very immature and pityful that you are trying to insult me to get even.

Wade (Level 1 Rookie) at 1/24/2009 10:52:09 AM
Pretty awful for someone with such a big ego.

tomic (Level 11 CEO) at 1/18/2009 5:29:37 AM

wow. face looked like a bird on the first view and i dunno if the leather jacket doesn't look a bit too smooth, but wow.

*off doing someone else.


blue (Level 2 Peon) at 1/17/2009 11:10:38 AM
This is adorable. Simple, but it's got style; very cubist!

asukicco (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 1/17/2009 9:54:19 AM
What a stylized punker XD Great!

Lollige (Level 11 Psychopath) at 1/17/2009 9:40:34 AM
I don't think I  know this guy :$, but I do think this would look awesome on a poster!
