it could be arguable, but at this point, I don't think "talent" is much of an issue here or with artist. If we were speaking of drawing pieces of art, yes, some sort of talent is required. But, in the sig making, it's basically just execution and stock work. People often complains that they don't have enough "stock" to work with to be creative. I think this mind set is restricting because we set to our-self invisible limits that restrain our creativity. Most of my work now involves me doing most of the "texture" work. If anyone saw my stream, they can see that my render efx and lighting are made by me. Yes, some people who are new to Photoshop won't be able to understand all the tools in the software, therefore are limited in their art making. But, what is somewhat frustrate me is that I always compare myself to others in term of my learning process. 95% of any GFX in the sim league progressed faster than me. By that I mean that their sig making ability went rooftop so quickly, because they were able to receive some advises from others and somewhat some models to be inspired from. But me, when I learned how to use Photoshop, I learned it from scratch. I wasn't told to use a filter (Topaz) to make my render looks good. That's why I feel some people were "spoiled" in their beginnings, because they learned to do things to look "good" with a single click. I might look like I'm bashing the users of Topaz and shits, but I'm not. Personally, I don't use that software anymore, it is a great piece of software, but I feel like the results I'm looking for are beyond that. This is the sort of pattern that I see from many new GFX out there. I'm glad to see that there's some people interested in doing GFX, but I think GFX is all about trying new things and even if you don't plan to do that as your job or something, I just think it is rewarding to see that your artwork inspires people to greater things and that's how we create an infinite chain of inspiration and creativity.

Today's question. Does simulated leagues' graphics are lacking in creativity nowadays ? Let me explain. Navigating on some sim league, I can obviously see a pattern going on. (Over) Topaz'ed render, with a basic font and basic soft brush lighting. I know, it seems like a very basic statement. No offense to gorlab's comment, but as you can see, uncommon sigs size are sometime criticize and I don't think they should. I'm glad I don't need to post a graphic every week since I feel like my work would be most of the time be rushed and non creative. Sure, with the ability we all got, we seem to stay in our comfort zone to have the result that is most likely "accepted" by the others, but shouldn't we see more and more creativity with the rising number of "sim" GFX instead of the same recycled style ? An artist like Koradek have been known to have a very particular style, which made him very popular. But, I always criticize him (and myself) for not trying to go beyond that. So what really is an artist ? Someone who is able to produce the best "result" or someone that is able to be versatile in his style ? I know it's somewhat vague, but what is your opinion on that, guys.

sto g mvp alert

I'll fuck him up in a gentle way

lemongrab doing morty's voice ?

that's where sneak edit comes in play

remember, hail Stockholm

but if someone is reporting a thread in the lr, would the league be afflicted with consequences ? Or it's likely not to happen ?

so only because someone reported it, technically ? damn I have an answer at least

and I was expecting an answer

boo

Kassian's line this season.

looks like a kendrick sig

My first question is...obviously... who the fuck did this ? This is like a legit dope sig. In my all time top 5 for sure.

Hola, instead of doing a new topic every time you want to know something or just share an interesting news gfx wise, you could do it here.

gud, gud

good rig

Sure

I wish, but kendrick will bash me for looking like a fan boy. HABS FAN, AMIRITE ?

but if someone guess the 3rd render, I'll unlock them before the like quota is reached

Pacio 2 goals Subban 3 passes Carey Price the 1st star Well, that is pretty much what we will see in a winning scenario this season.

I've seen worst thing being graded
