I recently seen on TV an interview from a so-called digital painter(as he calls himself) and im concerned about his point of view regarding digital painting... Well, first, there's a reason why magicians don't reveal their secrets to people and I believe you know for a fact why? Its a trade secret that should only be revealed to those who deserve to know it... and techniques should never leave from where it is learned... Of course that's not to infer, you'll be selfish for the craft, the thing is, you reveal your so-called secrets to a crowd who doesn't even know anything about art...
Its sad though that he put too much emphasis on just cropping and smudging and TRACING... hello? that's not even digital art in itself... Digital Art is really broad, it would have been great if he just told on national TV that he used WACOM tablet to produce his artworks... I'm a bit affected by his delivery coz I also have customers who don't know anything about digital painting and they hear about it from someone incompetent to explain the craft...
Digital Painting is still young and i really don't wish to see it fall just before it rises... One of the many branches of this craft is Digital Matte Painting, i've seen the techniques, of course for an artist its disappointing at first, but if you really open your eyes, this is actually the answer to our overly demanding work schedules where everything needs to be FAST! I've seen great artist exploring this possibilities, at first look, it looks like just photo-editing and manipulation, but if you really have a good eye, you'll know the difference about real technique and expertise over a fraud... I happen to give due respect to artists who make them, coz i know its hard how much hard work goes with every piece and besides its still a product of his imagination... and this is where the magic begins, coz it starts to create an illusion of something real... and your eyes start to deceive you, you know a part of it is a painting but you won't recognize the real elements anymore... coz the drawing or painting really dominates the pieces not the photo elements...
I hope he can read this, and i hope that person concerned will be more responsible in delivering the details... Its a big joke for those who believe they can make big money from art without really putting their heart into it... This is serious, coz art for me is a "calling" and a "commitment" not just a milking cow...
If this continues, digital painting will compose of some groups who are incompetent "wanna-be-digital-artists"... and that's really sad to see...

earn money with Pay to Click
2 min read
i have tried this PTC(pay-to-click) thing in the internet, been referred to by some of my friends and said that its earning. It wont hurt if i try, so i signed-up 2 days ago and done some research and testimonials, i find that this neobux.com is working well and the bux.to. i still have to wait another 13 days to become golden to increase my chances of profits, coz a standard member you only earn 4cents a day to click but as you go and upgrade your account more advertisements come and more clicks come. don't worry i'll post the evidence that i'd been paid-out so you'll know if this is true. but if its indeed true you'll be missing a chance to start earning today. so far i have 12cents in just 2 days, and hoping that after a month i'll use it to buy a subscription here...
so if you're interested click my referral link neobux.com/?r=gariel66 and sign up for free >>> www.neobux.com/?r=gariel66 you need a paypal account or an alertpay coz that's where they'll pay you, but i suggest go with paypal coz its more useful. i have another one being tested at bux.to here's my referral link as well >>> bux.to/?r=gariel66 this one is much faster but they only accept alertpay... so use bux.to earnings to buy the neobux upgrade and withdraw from paypal... that's my plan
i can't stress it enough, you can read the help section there at neobux. like i said it wont hurt if you try coz you only need atleast 2-10 mins a day. im doing this coz i have time to spare and id like to know the chance that its true, if its not i'll post every journal and every website i had that you shouldn't sign up in here. but if you've tried this before and it scammed you please tell me that im a victim. so i'll stop... thanks God bless
