The reasoning for that is the turrets don't spin around, They fire much like a cannon, With extreme recoil.

Elaborate?

It looks like you've got a nice textured piece of text there and you've just set the top layer to saturation because it's looks too yellow.

The barrels are too square-uular

I actually like it. Could function as less of a gattling cannon and more of a rail/projectile cannon. Texture is excellent, as always with you Nem

All color editing was done in curves. I think the anti-standard look of the colors gives it a bit of a unique feel, But then I am new to curves, and I have much to learn.

Something different:

Intresting pictures , as always with you nem

[Whitey]

As you can see, he wants to be white.

[Nem]

Clearly.

[Camille]

it's eye-popping. literally then. all i can see is white.

[Pav:3d]

Far too overexposed imo. I like the textures/brushes that you used on it

[Nem]

Something with the look and feel of being new. I really struggled with this one, It's hard creating something... From nothing. It would be much easier to relay on a base image like other artists, I'm too cool for that apparently.

the streaks in the back don't fit.

the lettering screams for a clean and tight surrounding, not some dirty chocolate smears.

[Nem]

That in my opinion is why it's so appealing. Why not mix clean and dirty? Following the "rules" sometimes leads to boring typical art.

[Dr. Knickers]

I actually kinda like it, it looks pretty cool. Nice work, Nem!

art.

i am NOT going there.

goodbye.

[Nem]

Apparently, our definitions of art differ. If I had define it, It would be any medium that invokes emotion, negative or positive. You responded because you felt something, and if my definition isn't good enough, the official meaning categorizes what I have made here as art as well.

the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

If you're going to come in here declaring what is art is, and what isn't I will too. You are more then welcome to your opinion, but you don't have the right to define anything, especially something as subjective as this subject. Good bye is right, You should leave.

[Camille]

wow, you're pretty awesome, smart and good-looking.

i better get the hell out of here before my brain turns into radish soup.

[Nid]

Art is not right or wrong, art is expression, you can't tell Nem that the way he went about this is wrong, you can only give him pointers.

I smell grudge.

This does sound like some pointers to be honest?

It looks good in my opinion though

Camille, Nem, I highly suggest the both of you, whatever your feelings, settle this matter OUTSIDE of this thread (see, I can italicize and bold-face too). Your definitions of what define "art" differ, and while that's all fine and dandy, the tiny "debate" you gentlemen are having is not. You both have your own art threads to pervay to the public what you believe is "art". Now both of you to your corners.

[Camille]

i consider myself open minded when it comes to art but it has it's limits.

a mediocre at best picture that was 2 to 5 minutes in photoshop falls just out of my region though.

i stated my opinion and as expected nem just responded with something like "your opinion's nice and shit BUT it's still good because X". AND he has the balls to call it art. and don't start the whole "yeah but art's an opnion and you gotta respect yapp yapp yapp" lecture on me cause i've heard it one to many times. the human brain is designed to like certain things and to dislike others. it's a broad array but it has, contrary to popular belief, it's limits. you're still allowed to like whatever the fuck you want for my part but don't come crashing down on me for either my opinion or yours. the least nem could do is not respond to criticism like a total dick. the best he could do is try to make shit that's interesting to look at and not the exact same kind of stuff he's been doing for the past two years AFAIK.

oh and come off your high horse. you're no better than anyone else and there's absolutely no reason to behave like you do. i know i'm not the only person that gets worked up about it. you can drop the whole elitist and attention-whoring act and come to a straight level with everyone else. FUCK.

oh and in before "chill the fuck out". because that's not what i'm going to do. some people need to be put in their place for gods sake, we all do.

edit: i know nuker, but you ninja'd me.

edit: oh what the hell, why wouldn't people be allowed to see this?

I would follow Nukers advice
We don't really need to see this here.
I would rather see examples of Nems artwork

[Camille]

sure let's all turn a blind eye and pretend nothing's happening!

this is a forum. disputes are meant to be talked over and there's nothing wrong with the public seeing it. i don't go hiding in a corner whenever i don't agree with someone.

unless, of course you're 98 and have a weak heart and you could get a heart attack if you saw a couple fight or something in that trend.

Bad day today? Broke a nail? Those are the best two reasons I can think of that triggered your miss placed ragefit. You're right in that I just post small photoshop jobs here, it's what the thread is for. Nobody is acting like I just created a master piece, except you. There isn't a reason to get so worked up about something so small, unless as Nid stated you have a grudge of some sort (which you have stated you do). I would appreciate if this thread stayed open, and I invite you to comment on future one off pieces I post here, but have to ask that you don't decide if it's art or not.

Edit: And you're right, I'm not better then anyone else, with the exception of one thing. I am dedicated, and the fact that I have been creating this Nem avy's for two years says something about that fact. I believe they have improved, and if you don't appreciate that, It's fine. AT LEAST THEY ARE BETTER THEN YOUR SHIT AVY'S HARHAHRHAHRHARHAR.

[Sgt. Nuker]

You believe I'm turning a blind eye because I come into this thread, see a dispute that's becoming heated, read remarks that can be defined as kindling for a fire that could become a flame war, and ask the BOTH of you to stop?

I'm not saying that your opinions are not allowed or that you are not entitled to one. Let's be fair, everyone has an opinion (because they're like noses....) What I am saying is that your approach (and Nem's as well) is sending off red flags in my head, hence the reason I asked the both of you to chill.

if you think so, then so be it.

i can't actually believe i'm having this conversation, it's simply too surreal. this is absolutely and totally pointless. hence why i am going to bed now.

Your Avatar is NOT ART. IT'S JUST A PICTURE OF YOU LOOKING STUPID. Ohooolooololool.

I can act like a total jerk too.
