Description What is a SLUNT?

That yellow SLUNT!

Well, let me introduce you to an all new word in the English language. I could safely say that there is only 1 other here on DA who can say they have heard and used the word. An old workmate of mine came up with it. I guess is has no real meaning, yet it only sounds right as an insult. Please feel free to use this word. Call someone a SLUNT today, and make yourself feel better. It really works. I guess you could say that SLUNT is the first real insult which simultaneously gives the user a sense of satisfaction. Not only are you putting another in his or her place, but you are also patting yourself on the back at the same time. And no one can honestly say that profanity has been used in any way. Use it on a teacher at school, a rude bus driver or even a parent.

OK my little Slunts.....

These colours were done by the ever growing talented uber Slunt who goes by the name of MONK.



You can see his version of these very same colours in his gallery as we decided to do a little experiment. Monk was kind enough to allow me to post my 'tweaked' version of his colours. Sometimes when I get a piece back and things don't look quite right I like to have a play around and see what I would do to make the image more pleasing to my eye. This is not to say that one version is beter than the other. Just what appeals to me. I wanted to accent Monks light source, as well as include the background more into the piece. Would definately love to hear thoughts on the 2 versions, especially form you colourists out there. All crits welcome of course. Again, I gotta send big props out to Monk for letting me do this, as I did mutilate his version and to me this shows his passion for mastering his talents. Good for you man.

I, also being quite the SLUNT, have decided to post the pencils to this piece to show what MOnk had to work with. This was originally just a piece in my sketch book which I thought would look cool in colour. I decided to write the word SLUNT on his arm as a tatoo, and there ya go....here we are. Another purpose of this drawing was for me to get back into my graff roots a little more. Somtimes I just miss that freedom of cutting loose on a cool looking character, so here I was getting back to those basics. If I was any good at lettering, I would have done some, but it was just never my forte...

If your feeling a little SLUNTY let us know your thoughts!

PEACE!

J.


PS: Check my journal entry tomorrow for all info on the RED SEED CHIBI SMASH project and how to get involved.

haw haw......

Interesting! Seems there have been yet other occurenses of this word....

Sorry N8b, but I already claimed SLUNT from back in '99 and I got Shauno to proove that its all true Now, if you would like to pay me $5.25 per usage, thats cool.....but everyone else...I allow you to use it for free!

Fly my little SLUNTS, fly!!!

Of course if we all work together, our dreams of slunt becoming an everyday word will come true. One can only wish

Thanks Demon. Truth is there is hardly any difference between the 2 pieces. Its all in the subtelties really (although his refined version has some really cool highlights n stuff in it).

thanks for looking dude!

My unabashed dictionary defines "slunt" as: Slang, hybrid cross between slut and cunt. also see (ex-girlfriends) watch how and when you use that one folks...

Red-J In reply to ArtbyBeans [2005-08-23 12:51:54 +0000 UTC]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! We have been exposed!!!! I personally would never use such words myself ( I like the ex-girlfirends bit though...LOL's)....but yeah...I like the unabashed dictionary def. Although can this invented hybrid word really have as much punch as the authentic 'C' word?

i think this word is better cuz it'll leave them guessing, i would have to be pretty upset to use the "C" word too, not so much with the "S" word...

FabianMonk [2005-08-22 20:10:53 +0000 UTC]

Is the other artist David Igo? Because I know for a fact that he's been using this combination of insults for some time now!

In any case, glad to do this with you! I'll be sure to cruise by here and read the user comments on this. I must say, you win for having this idea.

Red-J In reply to FabianMonk [2005-08-23 12:48:55 +0000 UTC]

haha....nah...never heard of David Igo....So there ya go. Maybe somone else has also thought of it, but we been using slunt since '99 or 2000 I think when I was working with a bunch of dudes at a media production house. The other dude I was talking about was my mate Shauno who worked there and also posts here on DA....

Well, it ain't all that original, but still it needs to be used for the good of mankind.

I'll be reading the comments you get as well! You win for being a part of it!! heh..... More slunty experiments to follow!

David Igo is one of the founders of Satellite Soda. I really wouldn't know for how long he knew of the sluntage though. But as long as you still have that slip of parchment with the copyright information you undoubtedly must have gotten back in 99, it should all be chipper!

And for the good of mankind indeed!
