I don't really see how you can say one is derivative of another. It seems to me they are both derivative of an archetype. I think the whole argument is fallacious.

Barbarian from Diablo 2

Guys it's not art theft, it's hardly even concept theft, they are muscular bald guys with body paint.
This guys bald and has facepaint, I call theft of Kratos' design

this adds a 3rd contender the the mix, very nice.
Although they are from an archetype as you put it, there are still some similarities to the design that beg to be questioned.
it makes you wonder how far some designers will go before getting caught, if they ever do

Art blogs

Half-continuing the theme of tutorials...I stumbled upon this blog yesterday (http://theartcenter.blogspot.com/) and discovered that to my great suprise I am not subscribed to any art blogs (with the exception of one design blog).

So, does anybody have any favourite art blogs to share? I'm most interested in those that offer tips/ideas how to develop your skills.

Is it strange that I could recognize the movie and characters that all those hands belonged to?

It's a little ways down the page

C.H. Greenblat's nerd armada blog.

I was too lazy to link to the website.

This is mostly for Angry, but for anyone who argues macs or better.

Hey, wouldn't this be a nice thing for the art forum?:

If you create a new topic in the art forum, you can't post it unless you've included a picture. So if you click post, and you haven't included a pic yet, it says something like: Include a piece of art first.
This way there won't be any threads anymore that need to be locked because of not including a piece of art.

Okay, here's what we cooked today for Easter lunch.

Brasciola, an Italian dish. It's flank steak coated in provolone cheese, as well as a mixture of butter, basil, olive oil and then rolled up. Pan fried till brown and then cooked in the oven under a large amount of tomato sauce.
Asparagus lightly steamed in an olive oil dressing.
Roasted red peppers with garlic and olive oil.
Assorted cold cuts and bread.
A simple salad with cucumbers and tomatoes in a light dressing containing dijon mustard.

I use EasyBeat. Isn't this an argument for the music forum?

That onestop thing made my day :D I though microsoft gave up on easter eggs?

flourish.mid sounds like something out of mario kart.

Mreh, a bit of stuff here, a bit of stuff there, an art contest and a couple of collabs.

That was the April Fool's prank on Newgrounds.

Anyways, I watched Aliens last night. By god, that's a fucking epic movie.

Here's the trailer.
Aliens was the 1986 sequel to the 1979 movie Alien. Directed by James Cameron, this film is regarded not only as the best of the Alien series, but probably the best movie sequel ever made. This film is so highly acclaimed, that on the rating site Rotten Tomatoes it holds a 100% rating.

Also, for anyone who has seen it, or anyone who doesn't think they'll see if but wants to know what happens, you can check out the
Amazing Aliens Rap, by the same guys who did the Robocop rap, the Predator rap and the Terminator 2 rap. Warning, if you haven't seen this movie, this video contains spoilers as it gives a summary of the film.

I love the Alien series.Well,with the exception of the third one.Yeah I even liked Resurrection (Even though it was shit.)

I have the quadrilogy.Its an eight disk set.Four of the disks have the final cut and a directors cut,and the other four have special features,one disk for each movie.Its pretty cool.

Apparently theres an Alien 5 in the works.Theyre trying to get Ridley Scott back to direct.Also its rumored that its gunna be a prequel.

I got a giant gummy bear in Germany at some candy store once, but it was nowhere as big as that monster.

Type 2 diabetes here I come!

If that thing was of the sour variety I would literally orgasm myself to death.

Rawr will be streaming my next drawing for the Gijinka collab.

Come watch?

Hey guys keep these blogs coming, I've always wanted to know more about this stuff.

cartoonretro.blogspot.com (shane glines)
parkablogs.com - art book reviews (very handy if you want to purchase an 'art of ___' book or something similar - he has a video for each one where he flips through the pages quick then tells you what's in it in the review.

Just watched Alien 3. Not only is it not that good a movie, but following the epicness that was Aliens really makes this movie fall all the more so.
The only good parts about this movie are Sigourney Weaver's awesomeness, the greatmusic and Ralph Brown's British accent.
