What is this shit?

[Hairybastard]

So many trolls today..

[SanderMan]

Well that was to be expected.

I'm honestly not trolling people, I worked very hard on this so please judge it for what it is.

Get out bro. Garrys Mod poses arent about art they are about some bunch of idiots making pictures of various games.
Its NOT art. So stop trying to act like you are creating art.

Excellent and a truly artistic piece. I see a man angry at the society in it. What was your idea behind the image?

It is supposed to be Expressionist Art like the Scream

This thread is amazing. :taco:
Filters are magical.

Expressionism does not mean filter rape.

I know, but it didn't translate well at all.

Sorta. I was thinking more along the lines of Arnold Schoenberg's "The Red Gaze".

That picture also looks like shit.

And besides using filters how exactly does one achieve that, champ?

[tehMuffinMan]

It's not a good picture if you're intentionally making it look horrible.

[SanderMan]

I'm not 'intentionally making it horrible' I'm trying to find a way to diversify Gmod so it's more than just the realism many have come to expect of it.

You are not creating art here. They are screenshots from a game, everybody can make a screenshot look horrible. Try making it look good.

With a real pencil, not gmod.
You gotta be a damn great mind to be able to make something artistic in gmod, and even then it's not capable of even being compared with real art.

So start making meaningless crappy pics of badly posed soldiers shooting at offscreen enemies with horrible muzzleflashes and shitty backgrounds.

[SanderMan]

Thanks for completely taking it out of context. I used filters, if you make even the remotest use of filters people flame you. I was trying although quite hopelessly so, to point out to people I was aware of my filter use.

G-Mod is a game. We make screenshots, not art!

[tehMuffinMan]

It is a stupid idea to think using bad filters on a badly posed ragdoll will make something look EVEN close to art.

[SanderMan]

Okay fine.

I'm snipping it and sharing it where people won't scream at the idea of using Gmod for something besides extremely generic screenshots.

Everyone cease to post.

Because, that's just how it is.
Why can't a dog play a trumpet? It's just the way the world works.
I can assume you don't understand or know a jack shit about art. Which is understandable, cuz hey, art is boring and who really gives a crap.
But gmod is a sandbox of game with average graphics. You wanna make art in it, make modern art.
Kinda like what you see in Ipod commercials.

Making art like the scream is way beyond gmod, so you should stop trying.

Pussy way out. Take it like a freakin man and be proud of what you created even if its shit!

[tehMuffinMan]

You can't do it. You can't.

We're telling you you can't do it, but you're ignoring us.

You seem like the kind of person that would go into the troll pose thread and act like you're walking around in a museum full of art when it's really just filter raped poses of ragdolls, not art.

[SanderMan]

I will never stop trying. I may stop posting, but I will never stop trying to achieve with Gmod what I want.

Hurr if something looks silly to me it's not art.

[tehMuffinMan]

Then if you want to make progress take it like a fucking man and don't snip your shit because of our criticism.

Tell him it's a wonderful piece of art and bests anything in the screenshots section.

Then he'll think it's criticism

Lol, you wanna make art, go paint.
You can't even legally make money on gmod, because the rights are Garry's and if you wanna sell art you gotta pay Garry. Not that anyone would actually buy gmod art.

I wouldn't sell it. It's art for arts sake.

Yeah, and? You can't make a gmod pose a piece of art.

If you think "But people say "A piece of art!" on good poses" They're exaggerating.

But WHY? You're giving no reason. You are insulting Gmod by saying you can't do anymore with it besides making generic MW2 poses.
