Thank you for the recommending. I heard of those comics, didn't knew they were by Heavy Metal. Loved the Heavy Metal films and the FAKK game and some of the comics under their publishing. A lot of Heavy Metal stuff (films, magazines, comics) are not available here, but always can get them from Amazon. Β

Interesting how black is associated with evil in much of modern western civilization. In ancient China, during the time of the Chin Dynasty black was the color of the Emperor, and it was associated water, not death. The Emperor and his court wore black to represent the deepest parts of the river, which was considered to be blessed, and a blessing to the first Emperor. So next time someone tries to say that black is evil, you can turn around and say "No it's not, it represents water and life."

Also it's a slimming color.

I think it came from fairy tales where the evil characters are always black and ugly, the good heroes always white and pretty. Or pink in case of princesses. That's true in China the colours have reverted meaning to the western cultures, black is the colour of life and white means death and mourning.
I often get criticised for my clothing usually black (though it's not the clothes that makes a person sympathic or not) and my art recieve the same for not painting pretty landscapes, family-friendly fairies and unicorns. People who have no clue about art claim pink the colour of happiness, fluff and cuteness but it's rather the best choice of colour for painting intestines. They love to express their dissatisfaction with my art themes, I love shocking them A colour can express many things, depends on what you make of it, can't be classed as evil or cute.Β

I think for you, when it comes to art, it's better just to ignore the people around you and focus on the online community. Β A lot of people would pay for your talents for books and concept art (movies and videogames). Β The key is to make those people find out about you so they will come to give you work. Β Better to forget about galleries and all that bullcrap. Β The art galleries aren't interested in real art, just scribbles, junk pasted together, and human waste like piss and crap. Β The real place where art lives in the modern world is books, videogames, and movies. Β 

As for the people giving you crap on a personal basis... Β We don't really have as much of that here, but we have all kinds of large subcultures here. Β We got our Comicons, Dragoncons, and a whole slew of other things. Β

Noticed it's better to ignore the people around, not elbowing for exhibits after gaining some experience about them, the best was when the art association of a nearby town tried to get my works banned from display. (Have to know their works are often a red brush stroke on a green canvas, and an art historian at their exhibit opening event explaining a lot of phylosophy into these works to an audience who quickly adapt it to look sophisticated) So the appreciated art got galleries is either a random spot of paint on a canvas or the conventional landscapes and stills and that's what the visitors also expecting to see, even if I could exhibit I'd have no appreciators. Even art education is doing a witch-hunt against fantasy, sci-fi and others that are popular in the western countries (I remember one of my uni teachers said fantasy like Vallejo's or Frazetta's art is socialist realism *major facepalm* and tried to ban me taking this direction) That's true, galleries go for the old fashioned art, I had no place for arts either before displaying online.Β

"Modern art" is an oxymoron. It's been years since I have gone to any art museums, but what I find is that once the artwork gets into the 1900's the quality goes down, and when you get to the modern art it's just complete slop. It's sad really, because Roman period art was very good. Then the Empire declined and the dark ages started, and a lot of art and science was lost so the quality of the art went down. OF course the thing about medieval art is they still tried. They did the best they could. But the art gradually gets better up into the 1800's, and then after the turn of the 20th century it starts going down again. First you get garbled looking pictures, then blotches of color, then lines and dots. What really bothers me is how people celebrate that crap as if it had some value. I just see it as degenerate. The best contemporary art is not found in the museums, it's found on the front covers of books, in comic books, and on the internet. Maybe us real artists should start forming our own societies and conventions?

Actually if you were here you would get a lot more appreciation. Probably still wouldn't make it into the museums because they only allow crap in when it comes to contemporary art, but you would definitely be able to hold exhibits without any issues. I guess we have much more of an art industry here. And when it comes to personal style choices people also don't care as much.

That's it, what is officially called "modern art" by galleries is the repeating of the 100 years old experimental art. Tendencies such as dadaism and futurism were nihilist anti-art and they displayed installations gued together of garbage, it'd worth nothing if the art historians of later years didn't overrated it. That works the same here too, artists under the years of the socialist dictatory had to make propaganda art or they went for a neoavantgarde kind of anti-art as a rebelling against the system, but dictatory ended by the end of the '80-s, the appreciated art are still those styles adapted in the 1950-s, so as the compulsory style of the art education. Aside of learning technical stuff there's nothing to thank to schooling.Β 
True ancient art was very good, the romans and greeks were pro with sculptory, other cultures strength was decorativity. Viking art was very good too, they couldn't depict anything realistic but were great with ornaments.Β 
Religious art of the middle-ages really wasn't good, it improved a lot during the reinessance era then had a downfall later on, maybe artists had all the skills to create perfect textures and the illusion of depth but baroque art kind of hurt the eye with the overcrowded theatrical scenes and out of focus compositions and the exaggerated pathos and glory. (personally I find the mainstream digital art another blooming of baroque, just differs in medium and ideology but the style is the same)
Agree, the art of the romanticism was an improvement of arts and became epic without serving any ideologies and propaganda, these were major origins of the fantasy and horror genre.Β 
The experimental art of the 20th century wouldn't be bad if it stayed what it is and didn't became so overrated and celebrated as the official "fine art". These took the monopoly over art, or if you're a celebrity your art is highly appreciated regardless to what it is, carries value or just an used toilet paper.Β 
The internet is a great invention from an artists' point of view, may have low chances for appreciation at exhibits (of course they don't really want to give a place to fantasy art, rather to conventional styles or the "minimalist" paint blotch on the canvas crap ) but it often results with drama, visitors can't handle fantasy as it's a kind of stuff they didn't seen before. I don't think I have more than 5 hungarian watchers, but have hundreds of others from various parts of the globe.Β

I agree completely. I think we should just call "Modern art" what it is, DEGENERATE. It's degenerate, and it's not going anywhere, yet it's still the main thing in museums and I think it will be until such time as our civilization collapses and reboots. What really irritates me is how some of this crap is state sponsored. None of it is worth recognition or money.

"Oh but it's showing his feelings!" Don't care. No one has any reason to care about the guy's feelings, and no, it's not showing anything at all. My dog made similar art when he used to pee on trees and fences, and it doesn't show anything except that the liquid hit a solid surface.

At least our medieval ancestors had an excuse for making sloppy art. They had their civilization destroyed, and had to almost completely rebuild everything from the ground up. They weren't that good, but they tried their best, and their art was still way ahead of this so-called "modern art."

What are we going to do? All the real art that deserves attention is on the internet, in books, movies, comics, and videogames. That stuff is thriving, and the museums are sponsored by the government. Interesting...

Only 5 Hungarian watchers? That's crazy. Ever heard of RamzPaul? He's a big conservative vlogger on youtube. He's been to Hungary a few times and every time he comes back he talks about how great it is over there. Maybe it's not as great as he says.

True, the so-called modern art is just stagnating for 100 years and shut out the other forms and styles of art, the narrow-mindedness of it's artists could have been their loss only if they didn't monopolyzed the art as their own property. The result is they're getting the financial support and the galleries. The internet is a blessing to those other artists who're not doing this "modern art" and have no other possibilities to display but online. Not sure if I mentioned the society of these modern artist in a nearby town who have the support and prestige from the local government to call themselves THE ARTISTS wanted to get my exhibit banned and blown the fuse at the cultural centre to get their point across. I believe it wasn't jealousy that motivated them, they're self-absorbed enough to think their art the best of best and they don't tolerate if something right down differs from that line they represent. Even if their art is just a splat of paint on an empty canvas wouldn't annoy anyone if they didn't gained all the sponsoring for nothing and didn't claimed the monopoly over art saying all art differs from their tase suck.Β 

Haha someone wrote a critique on this kind of art (was especially addressed to that particular art society) described it almost the same as you, said monkeys showing their feelings too when throwing turd at each other and it leaves a spot on the wall. The critique also called this art snobbish as it tries to stuff deep philosophy into a yellow splat on the green canvas composition, usually an art historian at the opening event tells the audience what to see in the picture so they can feel sophisticated for understanding "modern art".Β 

Yes, science and anatomy studies were banned in the medieval times, artists had to paint religious art only and without any studies and visual guide it wasn't their fault it flopped. They knew how to paint silk and shiny surfaces for example, but had no knowledge about the human body.Β 

It's still an advantage there are magazines like Heavy Metal in the US that supports fantasy artists, comic artists, fantasy-sci-fi authors and such. I bought the rest of my art books from ebay as here you can buy Boris Vallejo's art but no one else's from the fantasy/dark fantasy genre. That's the great thing about deviantart you can meet very various styles and concepts that necessarily affecting each other keeping one's mind open to new things and not limited to just one form of art like those posh galleries in real.Β 

As it's said aΒ prophet is not without honour save in his own country. Maybe if I heeded to adapt the neoavantgarde "modern art" as it was expected or got into picture perfect trace arts of celebrity photos or movie screencaps I'd have more hungarian watchers. Maybe the rest of the countries feels cool when you're there for holiday but not as cool actually living there. I don't say everything sucks as we have great places to see and to hang out, also have lots of medieval shows and so on, just sucks being an artist here with this historical past of the country, there's a gap of 50 years or so in artistic evolution between Hungary and the western countries. Maybe people see a lot of contemporary art online, but when you put a fantasy piece before them in real many can't handle it. Interesting though movies like Hellboy 2, Underworld and the doubtable quality Eragon and the latest Hercules were filmed here similar content painted on canvas and displayed in a gallery make people think it's a deviant thing (no pun on this site)Β

Wait, they blue a fuse to keep you from displaying? That's almost an Islamic level of fanaticism. I wouldn't be surprised if they were jealous of your skills and probably felt intimidated by you. It's pretty obvious that you have pro-level skills, and given enough time you could probably depict almost anything. It doesn't take much skill to splatter a blot on a page or glue junk together. My three year old nephew can already make better art than that, and my little sister's dog can make art that is just as good when he lifts his leg to piss.

That's right. Modern art is absolute junk, and the fact that it has attained such a high status in our society only reflects badly on us. You can judge the mental state of a society based on what it holds up as it's highest virtue, and you can judge the moral state of a society based on how it treats it's weakest members. Our ancestors from 100 years ago would call today's culture reprobate and perverse.

The US does have a lot more room for fantasy and sci-fi culture. One reason is that we are the biggest producer of that stuff, but we are also the biggest consumer of entertainment.

One thing I like about Eastern European countries is that they still have a strong sense of national and ethnic identity. Hungary, and probably most of the Slavic countries (especially Russia), don't pander to Muslims and homosexuals like they do in the US or western Europe. I really like Putin because he's against homosexuality and multiculturalism. He makes a lot of hard decisions, but he usually makes the right choices and does what is best for his people.

I think Western Europe is the worst (England, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, etc.). If you have national pride it's considered to be racist, and if you have strong patriotism they are trying to link it with terrorism. The US is getting to be like that too. There is a lot of strong preference for foreign philosophies and people over the domestic and native. We have "affirmative action" and multiculturalism. Ramzpaul is a major conservative and nationalist vlogger on youtube. I don't agree with everything he says, but he makes a lot of good points. One of them is that multiculturalism doesn't work. And he's right. I went to a very "diverse" senior high, with over 2000 students, and I saw how well multi-culturalism works. The liberals think that if you throw lots of different kinds of people into one area they will somehow like each other and blend together. But really what they do is segregate. All of the Middle Eastern Muslim people would hand out together and sit together at lunch. All the Central and South Americans would sit together at another set of tables. Most of the Asians would sit to themselves, and in their case they would associate based on which country they came from. So the Japanese would have one group, the Chinese would have another group, and so on and so forth. Most of the black people would keep to themselves, and in general the white people would although sometimes you would see a few Asians or blacks sitting with larger groups of white people because they had assimilated into white culture. Also, people tend to live in separate neighborhoods as adults. Then you have interracial violence, like black people and Mexicans fighting each other. If you're white there are absolutely no benefits. You don't get a scholarship based on your race, and when you go to apply for a job if a black person or Mexican applies for that same job then they are more likely to get it than you are, even if they are less qualified. One of the reasons I have not been able to get a better job is because I'm white and male. But my wife is brown and Indian, and she just started looking for a job last week and already she has an interview.

So you could always come across the ocean and settle in the US. But you would be confronted with a different set of issues once you got here. On the other hand, there would be a lot more appreciation for your art.

Speaking of Hungary, you know they are releasing another Dracula movie. It actually looks pretty decent. They might be filming it there but I'm not sure.

I had the exhibit room booked a year before the event, and was invited to participate with 3 works in a shared display with various artists of that town and after that the hosts turned quite cold about my booked exhibit, they said my works are "divisive" and asked not to display fantasy only, rather wanted me to restrict it to a very small part of the display and wanted me to take childhood scribbles and study drawings of my art school years I grown past a while ago. Also asked if I'd get offended if they say no on some of my works. I told them to talk clear whether they allow fantasy art or not, if they insist on beginner crap from the learning years can take the exhibit cancelled from my part. It got back to me later the reason behind the coldness of the hosts was the group of the local great-great artists had a go at them and demanded the banning of my display. They have the high status and the support of the local government so they could do that.Β 

Sometimes I'm wondering if our culture is tossed downhills on purpose as people getting addicted to entertainment of the lowest forms, thinking of the brainwasher primitive reality shows on tv, facebook and actually useless apps, addictive games like farmville or second life. These lowering people's intellectual needs as they can get glued to the tv and enjoy a reality crap or talent show that are actually about nothing worthy, but they sometimes can't enjoy a movie with a story as it is "too complicated" to them to understand.

Liberalism is the doorstep to anarchy, some politicants tried to win votes for the election in april by offering the legalization of gay marriage and lifting the ban from light drugs but the society said no thanks.Β 
Sometimes preserving the national culture faces difficulties, being the part of the EU has it's pros and contras, interfering a country's internal politics is one of it's drawbacks. The wealthy countries of Western Europe are quite oppressive, using the smaller countries as their economical backup and trying to force on things we don't want and forcing the liberalist take on certain race problem that only sparkles violence in case of people who drag themselves under the law and refuse to socialize and adapt basic morals.Β 

That's sure if I'd settle in the US I'd be simply an immigrant and been treated like that, would have chances to jobs like baby sitting and house cleaning or a career as a McDonalds worker. But all countries work like that, why would they offer good jobs and status to foreigners instead of their own people.Β 

I'm not the fan of vampires (well my username says the opposite) but will see if it's not another vampire in love movie may giving it a watch when it'll be out. It says it was filmed in Ireland. Looking at it's poster I can't help recalling my Morrigan painting.Β 
Actually the movie I can't wait to see is Sin City 2, loved the first movie and the comics have many independent stories to source from for a second film, hope it won't turn to be a let down like the sequel to 300.Β

I would have asked them to explain how it was divisive. Were you ever able to confront the so-called "artists" who had a problem?

Yea I agree. The only thing I'm not sure if is if those things are part of the cause of the cultural decline, or if they are a symptom of it. The Romans absorbed a lot of mindless entertainment in the last days of the Western Roman Empire, choosing to distract themselves from reality rather than face it. But also their government wanted to distract them from the reality of their situation.

Actually liberalism is the front runner to dictatorship. What they did was repackage Marxism to target the culture ahead of the economic system. The idea is that they want to change the nature of the people so that they will except a communist dictatorship. Once liberalism gets into your country then the next thing they do is start flooding your country with immigrants from incompatible cultures. Then, as different groups start fighting each other and crime goes up, the present a left wing police state as the solution. 15 years ago there was no legal recognition of "gay marriage" anywhere in the US. Now we have it being legalized in a lot of states, and the way they are doing it is through court cases rather than actually voting on the law. In Colorado there was a baker who didn't want to bake a cake for a "gay wedding" because it was against his religious beliefs, but the liberals sued and they told him he had to bake the cake. Maybe he will go out of business. After Obummer got re-elected his party has become very unpopular, so now what they are doing is flooding our country with illegal aliens from Mexico and those countries further south because those people usually vote for the Democrats. They do it because those people vote Democrat, and when they come here they get free handouts from the government so they want to come. They have about 4 or 5 children per woman and get government payments for each child. They also get free education and medical care. American women have about 2 children on average, so it's not hard to see where things are going.

I hope that Hungary will continue to reject liberalism, which is the death of any culture. I didn't know Hungary was in the EU, but I heard that Croatia just joined. The EU is bad news. I'm sure they will try to force liberalism and 3rd world immigrants onto your country. Those peope are sick in the head, and strongly anti-European and anti-western. Better to have small independant countries than a large incoherent country run by a set of left wing dictators that can't be deposed. About 13 years ago I heard from a Spanish politician that they formed the EU because they were scared of the US. I guess because the US was so much bigger in terms of geography, economics, military, and population than any country in Europe. But the thing about the US is that for most of our history we just had one cultural identity (other than a few north-south differences). You can travel from New York to California and everyone speaks the same language. It used to be that for the most part everyone was the same, and whenever new people came they just assimilated. Now that is changing because we have millions of people coming from Mexico and those other countries to the south of us, and they still keep their language and their culture. But there was no reason for Europe to be scared of the US. The US has never invaded Europe, except to stop the Germans during WWI and WWII, and that was at the request of England. The US is a European country, even though it's overseas. At least, for now. I think the real reason behind the EU is so that a handful of despots can reshape Europe to their own image and restore feudalism.

I don't know what would happen if you came here now. Our economy is in HORRIBLE shape. If you came to the US back in the 80's or 90's you would probably do pretty good. You could work for a studio, or be a professional illustrator, or maybe even join a comic book producer like Marvel or DC. Also you could work freelance and display your art, sell it, etc. But now, who knows? Things are bad and getting worse, and there isn't a lot of economic opportunity for anyone these days. If you could settle here you would probably enjoy the Renaissance Fair, Comicon, and Dragoncon. Those would be good places for you to display your artwork and make connections, but prior to that I don't know what you would do.

Haha! Normally I'm not either, but I'm a bit more flexible than you are. Actually this one looks pretty dark. I don't think it will be something slobbery like Interview with A Vampire. In any case it's dealing with some of your native folklore, as Dracula was a real guy who helped hold back the Ottomons using whatever means necessary. It could be an interesting movie, depending on how they do it.

Nope, they did that behind my back, neither of them talked to me personally and the whole thing turned out months later.Β 

The modern society do the same, indulging into mindless entertainment, can be scary to see how much are people comfortable with the most retarded tv shows or online entertainment that actually giving them no value or content. And requires no braincells either.Β 

The situation here really got close to dictatoric anarchy in the declining era between 2002-2010 under the governing of the left wing, they're the right down descendants of the communist dictatory, a lot of old farts elected them simply of nostalgy remembering their youth and the average unwealth under the communist oppression. Thanks to their politics they tossed the economy close to bankrupt like Greece, don't want to imagine where we were now if those bastards got re-elected again. Instead of the immigrant flood these sucked up to the EU despots and sold out the key economycal and industrial companies to western EU as a quick cashing in ro survive till the end of their governing time but pooring the country on the long run.
The system is not that tyrannous here about gays, it's rather the gypsies who're enjoying the positive discrimination thanks to the liberalists on the loose who were against the forcing of these people to integrate rather let them do whatever they want. The result is they don't take jobs, don't pay bills and living on benefits and robbery, still they're filthy rich. Very few of them who live like normal people refuse sharing community with gypsies. The EU is a great drawback as it really does forcing on liberalism regarding economical or racial issues, though easy to bark and dictate from Brussels by those Western European politicants who never lived there and have not the slightest about how is it living here in real.Β 
Haha those in Europe who were afraid of the US not can shit their pants in fear from the far-eastern countries like China.Β 

Will see about that movie, don't like when film studios make the loss of a lover Dracula's primary reason of vampirism. I disliked Bram Stoker's Dracula book from the other ways around, that was rather the protagonists I couldn't stand, the fainting women and sissy men were irritating. Yes, Vlad Tepes was originally the knight of King Zsigmond in the Order of the Dragon, his name was originated from the latin draco. He did impaled alive the captured turks to scare off the invaders. That'll turn out if the film will be rather based on historical events or became another romance.Β 
Interview with the vampire or Queen of the damned are the adult edition of Twilight, they were all about the emotional bound of fanged gays and also the endless quarreling.Β

I always thought that the color with the most "eeevil" potential was actually reddish pink...like the color of gum tissue. This is because I always envisioned it to be the color of things that are nauseatingly "visceral" like monsters that have skin that is the color of newly-healed flesh or landscapes that are engulfed in some sort of living biomass like in many video games and so on.

A lot of people in real life just stuck to the conventional art styles and themes and have no clue about the colour use and expressivity. To them pinks are the colour of cute girly things and fluff. I like using dark colours for a moody picture but when it comes to grotesque or something horror I'm picking pinks and purples, the colours of tissue.Β

I am glad that I found somebody who shares such a unique opinion. This reminds me a lot of one of my friends who wrote up some stuff for a homebrew Dungeons and Dragons campaign years ago with one of his creatures called a "Pink Horror".

Then of course there is the whole "Womb Level" trope on the Tropes and Idioms website.

Another color combination that I always liked that represented "danger" of a different sort to me is bright yellow and black, like you would see in danger signs in industrial and scientific environments, because yellow icons on a black background actually seem to be more "aggressive" than red simply because of their higher luminosity.

I guess the more someone knows about colours the less stuck with associated stereotypes such as pink is the colour of girls and blue is the boys. True pink is the best for major colour for flesh and tissue abominations.Β 
Schoolkids always use light pink for face colour and kind of unbelieveable to them to paint a face with greens or blue shades and it still looks natural in a matching environment.Β 
I like the complementer contrasts too for the dramatic effect, love using orange reflections on blue-ish surfaces or the other way around.Β 
That's true black and bright yellow is more contrasted than black and red. That's also a good example on how bright yellow have different meanings in various context, mostly used for smileys, can be associated with the sun but also represents the warning for danger.Β

I thought it was a shoggoth or other Lovecraftian critter. I like your dedication better.

Close to Shoggoth, Lovecraft's writings and the critter from The Thing were an indirect inspiration for this eye-creature. I'm glad you like it Β

Lovecraft is my all-time favoritewriter. You know, 'The Thing' was based on a movie that was based on a book that was based on 'At the Mountains of Madness'.

Colors are powerful tools that mean very different things in different settings. Very nice!

Thank you! Yes, can't associate a colour with good or evil, that's the stuff of fairy tales, the world around is far more complicated than that, so as the creating of an artwork.Β

Right, no real thing such as good and evil, just like there isn't really a right and wrong. It's all in shades of grey.
One of my favorite things was learning in school how different colors can evoke different responses, and the same thing with line. Then breaking those rules and smashing the expectations of others was a fun experience.
