/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I think the main problem is that many noobs on /ic/ just don't have the knowledge or skill understand what goes on in a well made photobash and as an end result, they just assume it takes no skill anyway because photos.

It's kind of the same reaction that shit tier traditional purists often have towards digital art in general. They don't understand how some people can create beautiful digital art that looks way better than any of their crap, so they just try to convince themselves that it requires no skill and that photoshop is doing all the work. These people also refuse to at least once try out the medium / workflow they look down on so much, because if they did and inevitably failed horribly at it, they'd no longer have any excuses as to why they can't do something as good looking as pic related other than their lack of skill and knowledge. Ignorance and stupidity go hand in hand.

composition:
the nature of something's ingredients or constituents; the way in which a whole or mixture is made up.

photos ruin detail hierarchy, gesture and shape design. the color keys and edges are generally terrible. figures are jauntingly stiff and disconnected from the rest of the piece
even in good photobashes, the plates are usually the weakest parts of the image

photobash is the illusion of quality without good design underneath it

maciej can paint and design really well but that only makes his photobash work more frustrating

Been digging Eytan Zana's works lately.

I also find the lack of Nathan Fowkes and Thomas Scholes to be distrubing.
