Quote by Bernouli Hi Astara, just coming in to say why your wall was deleted. I won't be long winded here, the wall was just simply deleted because it appears to lack effort. Here is the scan: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/382724. Now look at your wallpaper. All that I can see you did to it was crop it, rotated it, and faded the edges a bit. We just don't see the creativity in that, you could have done a lot more with it. The possibilities are endless, and it seems you just chose to take the easy route by picking a naked girl to which automatically guarantees popularity.
So if it is so 'easy', please show us the many similar or .... any similar walls available anywhere?
Your idea of creativity is very narrow in definition. It's not about 'creativity', it's about how much effort and time it would have taken YOU to do it.
1) It's not saying that you could have done it (though in this case that is likely)
2) **Creativity** requires **thinking of the idea**... That's creativity. Executing 'known' process to
get from point A to point B, that's 'engineering'. That's what most of your 'creative'
walls are -- vectors with various random brushes. That the known process is tedious and error prone doesn't mean
that being able to do it is 'creative'.
I challenge you to to tell people where they can download a wall based on that scan that they can simply put on their monitor.
Solving that would show 'creativity' -- that's what I did.
That it didn't take a long application of "tedia", (as in tedious things), is irrelevant and has nothing to do with creativity.
Lack of effort is a relative view. To an expert, a heart-lung-bypass is a piece of cake, to a layman? To people who are experts w/photoshop and have done art for years, many walls are trivial and can be churned out in less than a day -- that's not showing any creativity -- expertise, but creativity requires the ability to think of the idea in the first place.
If it wasn't creative, then you are saying it was common place. If that's the case, you should have no problem finding examples that are already on the web (not that you create and past date). I'm saying no one thought of it -- no one thought to do it, because they thought it was 'too easy' and not enough of a challenge. Since when does something *Need* to be a challenge to even have a chance at being done.
When I was younger I had no access to tools to make walls -- all I could do was download.... Alot of people don't have photoshop or similar tools -- in fact I would wager that the majority of those downloading, especially, that wall, don't have photoshop. It's not like I 'Churn' out tons of walls. I try to pick a good idea and go with it -- I try to apply brains, not "tedia"..., as I don't have years of artistic talent training.
To slap someone down because they came up with a creative idea that made their job easier? You may have a point, and you may just wish you had done it.
Is art that would require YOU alot of work the definition of acceptable?
