Artistic SWFUKers Thread as requested by Michael Sith :)

[tigerham]

Sounds great and adventurous Michael. Reminds me of when I did a piece for a member a few years back. This is what is looked like in one of it's earlier stages until they were happy with how they wanted it to look...



It was so much fun to create from scratch. Find a background, cut-out the figures and re-arrange limbs, lol, change the colouring to create the desired feel and add effects for anything else like rain, alien blood and gun smoke. ~:D

I'd like to add that showing these pieces is purely for the sake of putting a smile on people's faces and maybe helping and inspiring them in a positive way. It's not about myself and is something fun for everyone.

That looks awesome, as I am useless when it comes to photoshop etc, then I could never produce this sort of thing,
My renditions are pen ink paper and not much talent, but as you say the more you do the more you learn,

Love the Dengar

The Luke F B pop art rendition is cracking as well, a group shop of original good V bad original 12 on the pop art theme would look very cool

I hope people keep posting on tis thread, and new fresh ideas keep coming, I for one love it :D

Hi Andy and thank you for your kind words. Great photoshop skills my friend and a good idea to put Star Wars characters into pop art.. ~:D

I like the colours too. Have you ever used Illustrator at all as I've always found it more fun to use for things like your doing although I know that everyone has personal preference?

I look forward to seeing your R2 pop art in the near future. Thank you for sharing. ~:D

I use Illustrator also but I prefer Photoshop for creating the effects i'm after. I can use the pen tool in photoshop as well as Illustrator.

Do you use any 3D software mate?

 

[Michael Sith]

Software that cost 3 old pennies? :lol:

That's my level mate, don't worry, your on a hiding to nothing talking to me about photoshop etc, but intrigued to see more

Yes the Pen tool's a wonder for getting accurate cut-ous for sure both in Photoshop and Illustrator.

lol, Michael it's the personal mind's perception that always interests myself and everyone has a beautifully interesting mind in someway or another. ~:D

Perception is a weird thing, as with all things ...more to it.

Conformist perception, or the true individual perception, I believe that the latter is what creates the great free thinking minds that provide lesser mortals like myself, with true art, literature, sculpture, music, laughter, drama....all of the things that enrich life.

I am in awe of anyone who has a talent and is driven by an urge to do the thing they do...to express themselves, this is true in all walks of life, a doctor a nurse, a fireman, a supermarket worker, a street cleaner...it doesn't matter

That was one of the reasons for this thread, as it is always revealing, anyone who has an artistic talent is usually afraid to show it, hence the safety zone on here, so we can be treated to all manner of talents,

Any writers or poets....anything..post it up, :D

 

[tigerham]

Such wise words Michael and true.

We are all equals for sure, just at different depths within ourselves and this all depends on what we have learnt out of Life. There's nothing bad about it, it's just how we all evolve, if we choose to.

I'm sure given an in depth conversation Michael I could pull out the talent in yourself. Just for you to say you are in awe of others means alot and show's what a humble soul you are. A true asset in any person.

Ego is one of the biggest problems on this planet and for some reason people (not all) have to be right or have to feel security, power and control and if they can't control another this tends to damage the ego somewhat.

Ego has been said to myself by others that everyone should have one. I completely disagree. Apparently ego means I but again in what context. I use 'i' to help others to understand my true self so there are no misunderstandings and so communication can be true. There is no other way to describe myself and in time the word/name 'i' is used less and less and people around me understand who I am.

It's a very deep road and evolution of the human being has developed a very complexed and complicated society. In order to straighten and cleanse this society we all have to find true meaning in everything to work our ways out.

Life is extremely simple, all the solutions are on this planet in front of everyone to see and I understand how they can be missed with all the details that have been thrown in the way.

People are waking up all over the world, so to speak, as on my travels around South America, Mexico and Cuba over the last 4 months I have seen evidence. Also speaking with people who are getting fed up with the way things are. The system just goes round and round in circles and to no surprise because people are all living in an extremely old fashioned (so to speak) system which has never and will never work.

In order to move forward there needs to be a clean sheet and people need to get rid of all there issues within themselves whatever they may be and IF they have any as some just simply have not experienced as much as others, being a kind of innocence.

Anyway, lol, sorry, once I get started I can go on forever. ~:D

I, for one human being, am here for anyone, to help in any and as many ways as I can. To spread some positive energy around, whether it be putting a smile on someones face, helping someone with their shopping or many other ways.

Positive thinking is a key and concentration as there are many things to deflect our minds from the truth for sure. Xx

 

[Michael Sith]

Bravo :D

Great words, I am lucky to have spent over 30 years with my wife, who has slowly opened my eyes as to what life is all about, there is good in most people,

Good point about Ego s I think often a mistaken path, when self esteem and self worth, are the real keys, once you have that, you can truly appreciate others, never judge a book by its cover and all of that

I apologise also if I have rambled, but I do feel that simply spreading the word, trying to make sure that people take time to smile and take stock and realise what they are and what they have, try to put a positive spin on things,

Anyway, to bring this back on topic ( as I don't want to be perceived as a do good er or MR Nice,) this forum is full of fantastic guys, great camaraderie, and has a great feel to it

As I said the whole reason for this thread is to get people to show and display their talents, whatever they are, SAFETY ZONE,

So come on guys, get posting :D

 

[tigerham]

Absolutely and thank you Michael. ~:D

It will be great to see some more creativeness of all kinds for sure. Xx
