Description More Dir en grey fanart, this time featuring Shinya and Die. I did it in about two hours altogether. It's simple, but I like it. Tell me if I should have bordered it in a different way, or done something different with the red, or whatever.
People keep saying my digital style is popart, so I put this one in popart. The title means 'pacifist'.

Thanks, I think so too. (The black-red combo, not the awesome... I'm not that arrogant.)

I like the feeling in this, and the simplicity works for it. I also really like how you used red in the background rather than keeping it black-and-white like everything else; it's eye catching.

Thanks a lot. Anytime I do a black and white piece I feel compelled to put red on it. It only works when the subject is sinister. I'm trying to cut down and use different colours.

Thanks a lot. I use photoshop 5.0. I'd get CS so I could do vector art, but I don't have windows XP. ._.

What, exactly, defines popart, anyway? I've never really understood that. And it's not like I don't know anything about art, cos I like to think I do... Something, at least. But the definition and boundaries for popart have always eluded me.

Anyway, the picture is real nice. I like the color scheme, a lot, though it's kind of hard to see what's going on in all the black.

Crimefish In reply to FrozenIsh [2005-10-31 09:53:55 +0000 UTC]

Um... I don't know exactly what popart is. I thought it was basically things or people depicted in a few contrasting colours. But that could be completely wrong.
And I know it's hard to see what's going on! The reference picture is completely black. I wish I knew what kind of outfit Shinya was wearing. I gonna look for the rest of the photoshoot. Bah.
Anyway, thanks. I'm not annoyed with you, I'm annoyed with the early morning of 9:54. It's barely light out.

FrozenIsh In reply to Crimefish [2005-11-02 03:43:43 +0000 UTC]

Well, your guess is as good as mine. I just know what when I ask what pop art is people say Andy Warhol. Yeah, yeah, I've seen Andy Warhol stuff, I just went to the National Gallery and the Hirshhorn this summer... but I'd still like a more concrete definition. T_T

Well, if the ref picture was off there's not a lot you can do. Good luck with your quest. xD

Oh, I'm blushing! Thanks a lot! Hey, you can speak a little german?

The best thing is when I heard a star of a boyband (I forgot the name) says in TV:
Hallo, ich bin XY, Ich bin vierzehn Jahre alt.

In english: Hello, I am XY, I am fourteen years old.


... well... he was something about 25...

Ah, it's so cute when people mess up other languages. My german is so bad, I'll probably never use it. I never took it in school or anything, so the only words and phrases I know are from when my sister studied it. You'd probably be able to have a conversation with her.

Thank you, I'm glad you like the shadows... it was hard to decide whether to just leave their faces white.

I'm glad you chose to add shadows, even though it would still look wonderful without them! ^-^

Is it really my favourite, or really overused? Well, it is my favourite... but maybe it can't be overused, because it always looks good.

you know that the swastika in japan is the symbol that marks temples and holey places

Crimefish In reply to audbod [2005-10-29 18:33:50 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Most people forget how different everything is over there in Japan. But the people who don't know that (or don't know that Dir en grey fanart are Japanese) still could be offended. For some reason freedom of speech is a figure of speech. And if I make a romantic dev featuring a swastika, I'm somehow glorifying war, or something stupid like that. πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 0
