Title: Bizarre Artwork
Post by: Dancing Fungus on January 15, 2008, 05:38:30 pm
For a school art project, I devoted my attention to making images that were meant to be weird. This has actually been completed for some time and the pictures were so popular that they now hang on the walls of the school's main hallway. I just wanted to share some of these, despite the fact a few of them have already made brief appearances on this forum before.

This one was my first real success and was put together using Paint, a program that I now hate.

Next, my alien planet.

Something I made when I was being lazy:

A tribute to one of my all-time favorite games:

The Ur-quan Khor-ah:

Back to the utterly bizarre.

Cephalopods!

Not done yet...

Another weird one, but not as weird. I was going to touch it up, but I never got around to it.

The project was nearing it's due date when I made this one.

Another popular one, and also one of the first.

The precursor to the battle scene with the birds:

The most artsy-fartsy of my stuff was this one:

This was the second one made and never made it into the hall of fame, but it is still weird.

The very first picture I ever made.

And lastly, a new alien race, in Star Control format!

You might want to check out Something Awfuls Photoshop and MsPaint threads. It's a god place to get advice and inspiration for odd artwork.

I don't think he'd much appreciate what they'd say to him over there.

Er, good point. Still, it might inspire him.

Why, what would it be? Something along the lines of this?:
"Oh you're such a f***ing noob and you don't know anything and you did this wrong and you did that wrong and [insert random insult here] and you don't know how to do this and........"?
Or would it be more subtle? Or perhaps more insulting?

I've gone through mazes of morons like this before.

More insulting probably.

Interesting way of doing things.

Ok, after a brief exploration of the site [I just looked around] , I have to say that although some of the stuff is quite good, much of it, well, let's just say it wasn't what I was hoping for. Some of the worse things  should just be pushed into the *nnnnnnnngh* department as quickly as possible, given it's nature of offensiveness, stupidity, or both . The forums weren't terribly interesting and a few areas will now be designated as "jerk zones".
But anyway, thanks for the idea.
