A lot of the shit is noobs ripping, and adding text. They also think that WE think that if there's nothing similar on tineye, they're clean. Stupid.

Ex: That fire girl manip. It's TOTALLY not his. It really can't be... unless they came to MPGH, added horrible text, and decided to enter it.

I think it's neat how you get banned from this section for telling the truth.
Yes what I said was true, the entry thread had like 3-4 rippers.
Dragon pointed out one. The firegirl was from a tutorial.
The other two are obvious.

Cafone is right.
You bring it out.

[Ryan]

The fire girl is on every result to the Google search "PS tutorial".

but has art-of the week a delay because its already tueseday (if it was sotw it already would have ended and made a new one >:3)...

[Chuck Norris]

mine wasnt that beautifull, but nothing has been stolen.
And does art have to be beautifull? art has to let you think about thinks. make you feel something. Obviously, mine fails, but i just have to put my 2 cents here

art needs to touch you, this aint art like its ment its a simple collage with text overlapping it, almost half of the members have copied it and none of them made it.

besides i dint participate because:
1. this is a difficult subject
2. u have to manny was you can start u end up getting lost if u did something wrong
3. im quite inhuman myself lately
4. i didnt have much time because i really make everything from scratch, we are a rare breed and mostly endup losing :3 not voters style

just read tut's post frequently in the graphics section for help/latest projects and get better.

Not to go too off topic here,
But I have a few things to say.
My ulterior motive is not to strike up debate, but to speak from my soul.

What is the true foundation of this section?
To some it may be a subject to be debated,
but since I am the owner of this post, it is only fair to illuminate my personal answer.
My answer is:

Creation.

Whether simple or advanced,
from the left side of your brain, or the right.
The answer is creation.

So what is creation?
Tough question actually, considering the multitudes of answers that can be provided.
I think it's safe to say, that creation comes from idea.
Usually a series of them. Once those ideas are solid, then comes production.

I'm sure you're all probably asking how this pertains to the "art" section.
Well to break it down without getting overly philosophical,
I believe our ideas need to evolve, before committing to creation.
I also believe that oppressing free speech in this section,
is absolutely critical to the direct application of creativity.
Sure, there are a few people that can be less rude here.
I'm not even excluding myself in this case,
but to stray away from myself to appease, to follow what another believes is right?
Well..that wouldn't be very creative of me, now would it?
Look how many times Scrcrw has been banned.
He is only being himself, speaking only from his heart.
75% of the time, it was legitimate opinion, and not meant with malicious intent.
He speaks no racist comments, no words of harm nor hate towards anyone,
yet because someone has a dislike for his opinion, and his movement, BAN.
Sounds a bit like a dictatorship, doesn't it?
The server is still in America right?

Bottom line is this, forums thrive from their users dedication.

And to the retards that ripped to enter this competition..
People like me will always expose you.
If you want to be like the ones you ripped so bad,
there is only one solution.

BE A CREATOR.

Dedicate your time to learning art techniques.
It took me years to learn how to draw and paint.
I almost failed 11th grade because I was so addicted to painting,
I'm not saying to do that, but be smart about it and find free time to learn.

That's about it. Love you guys.

Very true Ethereal. I truly believe this is a large problem. To reply, I have an answer from my thread.

[Kuro Tenshi]
