Some people said I shouldn't have posted these in Random Musings, even got a few messages telling me I should move them here.

The whole reason I posted them in RM in the first place was because I didn't want to hear about how this kind of stuff wasn't considered art and that I could stick it where the sun don't shine ;) Well, I -do- consider it art... and either way I had fun making all of these.

These are all me... boring I know:

Definitely art. Very nice composition in each. I'd hang them in my gallery (if I had one) any day.

Oh Hell Yeah! These are great. You shouldn't under rate yourself y'know. You are very talented and from what I see very beautiful as well. Kind a makes a middle aged guy like me think whistfully.

Jezebel · Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2001 10:34 am

Woop, I glad you all like them! I was fearing a great sijun flamewar coming on for some reason... hehe... *hides*

Yes Roundeye, they are all me.

I did one of these and I know im not alone I mean what is the first thing you do with a scanner? want people to postem?

Jezebel · Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2001 1:06 pm

Thanks Halo =)

Eric - Actually I'd kinda like to keep this thread for my pictures alone.

I'd like opinions on them since it's sort of a little "series" I'm doing. However, feel free to start another thread for this subject if you like. ^_^

I don't think you've made the most of out of this style of art.. Some of them look little changed apart from a colour balance and subtle overlayed textures. Get more experimental! I think you will get much better results. But at the moment I just find these too boring, stale and unimaginative.

Jezebel · Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2001 2:36 pm

Cos - It's ok that you don't like them, but I wasn't going for an over-filterized, photo filled, overworked piece. I wanted it very simple, focusing more on the initial scan on it's own than my manipulations. And they aren't unimaginative at all... I put quite a bit of thought into each one: applying make-up, finding props and costumes, etc...

Stale and boring they may be though. But I like 'em =)

I just feel that overmanipulated work would defeat the purpose. I was studying this from a photographer's standpoint, not a "how much can I change this in photoshop?" one.

Thanks for your opinion

These are fantastic. They look like covers for Digital Art magazine. You have a wonderful style. The images are emotive look like visual manifestations of the mood and emotion of the model. Well done, I would like to see more.

Without a doubt 'art', these are really good and most of the m would look really cool in an exhibition of some sort.

I really like these, Care to enlighten on how you created them

Probotech · Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2001 11:32 pm

Very nice. I like them.
Dunno why ppl complained, looks very much like art to me.

Jezebel · Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2001 5:35 am

Wow, thank you so much guys!

As to how I created them, there's not much to it at all really. I tried not to manipulate them very much so all my ideas went into the original scan. Sorta like taking a photo. Then I think the second most important part is how I cropped them... after that is when I would change a few colors and add a little texture. :>

Muhahaha:

Moving in the scanner gives me scary teefs!

Jezebel · Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2001 2:24 pm

Here's another new one... back to the purdy girly style and away from the scary teefs

i normally dont like this kind of stuff, but theres always exceptions....

the 3rd one funface13, is my favorite.... i like dark gothic stuff... and the black feathers and the colors are just great.... and i like this last one you did.... really makes me think of innocence... like a princess or something with the gold tones... very nice....

keep it up, dont let others bring ya down cause everyone has their tastes! as long as you like it

right?

Jezebel · Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2001 6:00 am

Thanks Darkmoon! =)

The one with the feathers is one of my favorites too ^_^

Jezebel · Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2001 12:59 pm

Ok, I think this is my last one

Doh... actually... I'm gonna add it to the top with the other one. I don't think many people scroll to the end of these posts
