Most of the traditional fine art I see in the local galleries are pitiful portrayals as well that have plenty of creativity and lack any skillful execution. Now to be honest a fair amount of the images above are pitiful examples of creative digital portrayals. WebsterвЂ™s defines art as вЂќ the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objectsвЂќ That makes some of these portrayals вЂњARTвЂќ it may not be traditional fine art, but it is art. Better get used to accepting digital visual creations at art, just like the artists in the last century had to accept that photography was a new form of art. I do both digital and traditional art/illustration in all mediums. People are impressed, keep your chin up and soldier on!!!! To those that would rather undermind the artistic creativity of these works of art, I was always told, that if you dont have anything good to say about someone, then STFU!!!! In the comments posted here, for every two negative there are twenty positive. Anyone can paint, take pictures and even act, itвЂ™s when others are taken back and impressed, thatвЂ™s when you become an artist. ItвЂ™s how you paint a picture that makes you an artist, itвЂ™s how you play a role that makes you an artist. ItвЂ™s, вЂњhowвЂќ you take a picture that makes you an artist.

In an age where so many disturbing things are going onвЂ¦.people killing peopleвЂ¦visual images of children suffering plastered all over the placeвЂ¦mass ignorance has for some reason become вЂњthe norm.вЂќ Why is it that we can not look at something beautiful or other wise, without someone mouthing off about how much it sucks or what little talent it takes to create it? Does taking a picture with a camera make you an вЂњartist?вЂќ If this is the case, then over 4.6 billion people every year become вЂњartistsвЂќ in North America. I do not know this artist, but he is amazing!!!!!!! If you would like to watch a couple videos of a traditionally painted portrait, check out these links. This is why so many of these вЂњpaintingsвЂќ look like a photograph. This is actually very hard to do, because most digital artists lean more toward the realism of a photograph rather than the creative interpretation of a traditionally painted portrait. The trick is to get the photograph to appear like a hand painted painting and not so much as a photograph.

The software I use is Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop. The difference is, a traditionally painted portrait is started from a blank canvas with the photo only used as a reference.ДЄ digitally вЂњpaintedвЂќ portrait actually starts with the photo, and digitally manipulates the photo to look like a painting. Both traditional portraits and digital portraits typically start with a photograph. Wow! I hate to burst anyoneвЂ™s bubble, but as a full-time portrait artist, both digitally and traditionally, these digital вЂњpaintingsвЂќ are not all that difficult. so, again, you either like them or you dont, and if you donвЂ™t just get over yourselves! We live in a time of familiar faces, and faces made familiar by film, media and photographs, so surely, these pieces are an accurate representation of the вЂface focusedвЂ™ world we live in.

For over a hundred years we have been bombarded with realism, and as technology improves, our sense of realism is heightened (HD TV being a great case in point).Their technicality is something of a distraction, as is the familiarity of the faces, but more distracting still is the need that many of the viewers seem to find in comparing them with another method of representation. You either like them or you dont, but the same could be said of a Rodin sculpture (realistic?)or any of the 20th century movements in realism. Whilst they are neither portraits, photographs or paintings in the strictest sense, they are objects, and have been created by an artist so their individual quality (and collective merit as a contemporary style/genre) is surely what is important. I cannot help but wonder at the bitterness and cynicism of many of the comments regarding these images.
