oh, even worse then. I bet you didn't even looked at some pictures of ice first. And I still don't get it why you use smudge.

Why look at pictures? That is no way to expand your imagination.

And why did i use smudge? Suffice to say, i did it to make you mad.

Aside from all of this, what do you SUGGEST i do to improve upon it? After all, is that not the point of communites such as this?

There's got to be at least 6 ways that statement is dumb.

Well, I suppose you're a real dumbass. If you don't know how to make something, then I guess that you instead of making research about the thing and knowing how it looks and works, you make a totally fucked up version of the thing, designed by you.

Seriously now, does that look like ice to you? Really now. If it does, then you have a serious problem. If you don't know how to render ice, then you should look at some god dammed ice first and study how it looks and acts instead of making that bullshit. And if you wanted to make it in impressionist style, then you failed more than anyone could. And how dare you say "Why look at pictures? That is no way to expand your imagination."??? If not looking at things and receiving information develops your imagination, then what the hell does?
I won't even start about the smudge, I'm tired of this.

I'm sorry that I sounded so rude, mister, but you triggered me.

Since when does art (for lack of a better term) have so much to do with logic? I always thought "art" was interpreted through ones' imagination.....Appearantly now is about picture-perfection.

Well if anything, i learned that such illogical logic....is not right for me.

Fuck art, I guess ill stick with something more.....logically-logic. Despite thy efforts, i have been helped, be it in a very odd manner. for that, i thank you.

Artists use other artists' work to inspire themselves/create new art, it's called interrelationship. Don't be so daft.

If something is not what it appears to be, then you must specify it and give solid arguments on why you made that. If you want to make abstract art, then by all means go ahead but you must have a solid base of arguments for every choice you make there. It's an expression of your soul and you should tell what you wanted to express. I've seen many shits (not you) who scrambled with some random colors and then showed it in a gallery as abstract art yet they had no arguments...that's not art, that's bullshit. So don't get like that, mister. Can you give me arguments on why you made this piece like this? Why is it black and white? Why did you make ice like that? Why is the moon in that spot? I'm not trying to annoy you, but these are the facts, you are responsible for what you create.

Now we're making sense.

Ok well lets analyze....

Its black and white to give it a cold atmosphere.

The moon is in that position because it seems to correspond best with the lighting (so from that, you can imply that i did the lighting first)

And the ice is like that....simply because i ran out of ideas, but it seemed to fit the cold setting of the drawing. I thought it needed at least a little spot of color.

By the way, I prefer this analytical approach as opposed to....what happened earlier.
