Saturnine? And what, you're not able to mimic someone's art style even slightly?
Gingerbread Man on 25/1/2006 at 02:12
What?
Saturnine is the guy who did the cutscene artwork (among other things). The prototypes are mine.
And while any decent artist can mimic things, why would you bother? That totally defeats the purpose of art.

Lady Taffer?
Thou art a freak! I like that.
:cheeky:
P.S. GBM, your art is fantastic. Picture B reminds me of someone I know.
Lady Taffer on 25/1/2006 at 02:42
Ohhh, ok, GBM. . I thought it was you that did the cutscene work, so it's Saturnine that's not flexible. .
While it's true that having your own art style is important, it's also important to observe and absorb other peoples' art styles as well. You never know when you might find something you like and decide to incorporate it into your own style. Another way being able to mimic other styles is handy is when a bunch of people are working on an animated project and need to draw the characters in the style that's given to them to stay on model.
And I don't think it's particularly good to limit yourself strictly to just one style, but that's just my opinion.

Keep in mind that back in the day, Saturn was responsible for the pioneering of new techniques in Dromed. He's pretty damn good himself.
I think that GBM just meant that one of the beauties of art is the appreciation of different styles and interpretations.

Actually, I meant more along the lines of Mimicry : Artist :: Karaoke : Musician.
Lady Taffer on 25/1/2006 at 03:14
Heh. I see what you're saying. Maybe mimic was the wrong word. Probably "approximate" is more appropriate. .like, you decide you really like a certain element of a certain artist's style so you encorporate that into your own, not do a carbon copy of their work. (But that is also good to know, too, if you're doing an animation project like I said. .)

I get where you are coming from Lady, but these are people of pretty high calibre. Seeing GBM's work, I wish it was more faithful to his stuff too, but as I am no artist, I thought Saturn's work was pretty much equally brilliant.

Are there any examples of Saturn's art not from T2X?
