My latest piece of art. Made it using some tricks with gimp so it didn't take me a huge amount of time. Thought I'd see what you guys think. THIS IMAGE IS BIG SO MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON IT TO GET THE FULL EFFECT.
***Constructive criticism is appreciated***
*UPDATE*- IF YOUR GOING TO GIVE ME A SCORE AS LOW AS A ONE THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS TELL ME WHY.

Here's why

I get that it's made digitally and is probably a wonder to make through that, it just looks like a bunch of mud swashed around. That and it's really simple. It does look nice when viewed in actual size, but that's it. It doesn't really seem "artistic". Plus, almost all Newgrounds users want instant appeal, not something that you have to appreciate.

penguin100 responds:

Art is a matter of perspective. I mean if a bunch of blurry blocks or splattered paint can be considered fine art and people will spend bags of money to get their hands on it just because a particular artist made it then why would you consider this not to be artistic. Simplicity can be a fantastic tool when making art and should not be underestimated. I understand that most newgrounds users want instant appeal, but looking at it at first glance without really "looking" at it then just tossing a one or less at it isn't really fair unless they can at least justify the fact.
