This place is dead !

Must be because of that Shmup.

AnywaysI need your adviceguys !

Which colours do you prefer.
Image one
or
Image two.

By colours I mean which direction for them looks better.

Quality is kinda bad so you'll notice white cracks here and there.

All depends on what you're aiming for with the game.
Version 1 is more vibrant. Gives it a more mythical, magical kinda of feel.
Version 2 is more simple and solid. Like walking through the Colosseum.

I realize that I don't have anywhere near the same authority as any art professor on anything related to art. But I sure think it is strange for a teacher and professor to pass along rumors about something like that to their students. Such serious "accusations" should better be well documented if they are to be part of a lecture.

It wasn't presented as a lecture or anything of that sort. We were talking one on one about our "artist mentor" project in which we had to choose an accomplished artist and create out own work in their style. I had found examples from Aiden Hughes and Alex Grey. I went with Hughes, but when I was told this when I presented the art of Alex Grey.

Hey I got a question about the art portal. Where should I send that bitch? Would asking here be inappropriate? I've already read the faq it's not in there.

Actually a question and suggestion.

Right here buddy
Although, what was your suggestion anyway?

hey guys, hope nobody minds me being a total douche and making a post here. I've made a post regarding me writing a song for any artwork you guys might have.

More News here

I made this post because if you're anything like me, when you type in Newgrounds in your browser the first place it goes to is the forums, which is what I do, and often don't even visit front page.

Much thanks for your understanding, hope to see some of you in there!

Thanks Man. You might want to just go there. It's long. Well, there's more than one suggestion 'cause I'm a know-it-all asshole.

I want to make a painting for someone for Christmas, but I don't know what to paint with.

I know where to get canvass and such, but I don't know what I should be painting with. Is acrylic paint any good, or should I use oil paints?

Depends, each has their own advantages and disadvantages. How much experience do you have? How much are you willing to spend? Do you like slow or fast drying paint? Do you like mixing on a palette or on the canvas itself?

I'd go to a book store and look through the art technique section. Pick up an browse through different uses of acrylic, and oil. See what suits you.

Personally. I would go with acrylic paint. It's more versatile. There are more color varieties. It's cheaper and the time it takes to set is more controllable. To make the paint take longer to dry (if you want to push the paint around more, spend more time blending, making nice gradients) simply add a retarding agent. Otherwise it sets fairly quickly letting you work faster. You can water it down to make it act more like a watercolor. And then there are the gels you can use with it.

Good variety here fairly cheap but shop around. Sometimes you can find starter painting kits for cheap.

I don't have a ton of experience, but I am capable. Money isn't too much of a problem here, but the cheaper the better. I prefer fast drying paint, but I'd be willing to sacrifice drying time for quality. As for mixing, I usually prefer palette mixing.

Unless it's like a store brand one with black ariel text on a white background that says 'BEER' and nought more.

Ninja's don't suffer concussions. Also, mask provides protection.

My brother said he had some 'Leffe' one night- not even much, just a few pints, and the next morning he literally thought he was going to die.
