Graphics - GFX eyes of an artist.

          GFX artist's eyes



  (C) 2ooo Gas 1913


  I know how important it is for
artist feedback. As a rule,
to a variety of party happen
various deficiencies that result in
results appear aligned random number generator. To at least get 
by to cheer up the artists and put into place his comrades, 
that we not friends, I wrote this

article.


  A few introductory words about
Paradox'e. Presence in it
Representatives of Krasnodar (information from
first-hand - Maxx 'VTS) allows me to
draw definite conclusions (some
of them, we came together with Diver'om).


  Ten-voting system is not
applicable when the voter sees the work
1 times for a few seconds. To estimate the
ten-system needs a good
consider all the pros and cons of each
work, compare, etc. When I
voted on Millenium'e (virtual)
on the chart - once all the work for 10-15
revised, and not even sure that all
correctly assessed. Generally I start
inclined to believe that work should
evaluate group hudozhikov (we already
trying to implement a Final Shoque.
Blade 'Ice Di supported this idea and
enter a nomination, in which artists
will evaluate the quality of the work). Only
artist can accurately assess what
nehudozhnik not notice (for example, when
exhibited work at Paradox'e nor
Maxx, or VTS did not notice that my
work - only a minor version,
while all the artists with whom I
talk drew attention to it).


  Voting PC'shnikov none at all to
anything. They're not even aware of the 15
Spectrum colors, 2 colors on the familiarity
etc. After that, not surprisingly,
pivbar takes place above and Bimbos
etc. .. And the thing is that at the HRC
Technology is not the determining factor.
Graphics capabilities of PCs is sufficient
high, not to ignore this particular
attention (on this thought gave me
pROF/4D).


  With the rapid vote when
voice is limited to viewing the works,
they should be limited and
ballot: Three seats on the components completely
enough. At least a
system does not give people the opportunity to
unnecessarily omitted other people's work. And when
10-point someone vote honestly
(Trying to objectively evaluate), and
one vote only for themselves, putting
currently 10, and the rest 1.


  At Millennium'e my friends were not,
so hard for me to judge, but the fact
that took first place outright
conversion, says a lot.


  Well, now directly
work. To estimate has not turned
subektiveoy lopsided and I called for the
poaoii professional artist (for
simplicity, he took the nickname from the initial
spell the initials). All the statements I
zakonspektiroval, then print. Among
work you will not find my ("Pacific" and
"Born to fly")-I myself do not talk about them
I will, but my friend's assessment
have turned out very much biased;). Then
As for my friends, their opinions
I spoke directly. Still no word
will be of obvious conversion, and works
nezasluzhivayuschih, in my opinion,
special attention.

 PARADOX 2K


1. "S51" by KASik / Sinclair Club


  GEN> violated the laws of composition. Shot down
center. It turns out that roses like
oppose. If we take, say 3
banal shapes - cylinder, cube and sphere,
then there are plenty of options
location. But there are certain
principles for which the same
may look better or worse. But in
overall looks nice. Particularly good
bee. Better just bimbos.


  Gas 13> Progress KASik'a there.
Huge step forward. The only thing -
impression that the picture
slightly flawed. I mean the background.
Virtually all ignore it and always.
Believe me, this is part of nemaloznachitelnaya
Fig. But on the whole very good.
Particularly able person, very lively.

2. "Pivbar" by Disabler / DPL


  GEN> very problematic issue, but
Sorry no pictures.


  Gas 13> My attitude to this picture,
probably the same as for all
artists;) Some suggest to me
the presence of sense ... Well, let's
then bought a comic together
newspapers, and from there we all make rubbings.
Such a picture-it 20 minutes. Per day
oh how much can be done, even making
interruptions to sleep and eat. But Disabler'a
accused did not have anything. He was joking and
not bad. But lampagolovye pts'shniki ...
That's who really to blame for
that many people simply spit, seeing
results.

3. "Bimbos" by FS / DHG / PZS


  Gas 13> All was well until the Diver is not
sent me the original and unprocessed
conversion. Of course conversion is very
greatly improved. Looks good and
etc. etc. But it is still only
conversion. In my opinion they have no
Nothing wrong with that. This is the improvement
skills. But their exposure to com ...
It is quite normal, I believe the use of
them for registration of dem, newspapers and magazines,
Conversion competition (competition in the
Technology) to copy compo, as it was on
virtual Millenium, but should not be
competition with the conversion of independent work.

  Conversion good. I am very
liked it, although some things
simplified. Frankly, with the Spectrum
its restrictions attached pictures
more mystery. Technique me too
very much. Waiting for new work.

4. "Bspp" by Siril/4th Dimension


  Gas 13> good start for a musician!
Not 4 place, but for the first of a
well. Maybe not enough time.

6. "Rw7" by Snake / OHG


  GEN> impression that it did not have time
complete.


  Gas 13> Yes, the horse is not completed yet, and yet
again draw attention to the background ... We ought to
gain skills in terms of color
graphics.

8. "Cyber2" by Cannibal / Paradox Crew


  GEN> My first thought-flea:). Despite
to grin is a warm feeling.
Interestingly, the suit absolutely any
color. Obscenities with meaning.


  Gas 13> I liked the unusual
style. Sorry that is devoid of any ideas ...
But funny.

11. "Earlymrg" by Relict / Phantasy


  GEN> A lot of sadness. Dawit gloomy
the sky dark silhouettes. Any problems with the
psyche, was either a bad mood.


  Gas 13> I see that autonomy and artistry, although the theme 
and beaten, certainly deserves attention.


13. "Afro" by Demiurge Ash


  GEN> The picture does not feel
love, despite the name. No
feelings. Or they are poorly communicated. Jobs
seen as a comparison, as the "+" and "-".
Could be better. But the place is uniquely
unfairly low.


  Gas 13> Creativity Ash'a I always
interested, but at some time I
It was disappointed. This is a time when
were everywhere appear remarks or black and white
women's faces or some nightmare. But
recent work on the Paradox and
Millennium, as well as "Bitch" from Heresy 6
have radically changed my opinion. "Afro" of
these three probably the worst, but still
good. At least in terms of technology.
Impression that the blue
Africans had been drawn much
later, a woman's face;)

15. "Eldiablo" by Disabler / DPL


  GEN> It is difficult to express in words.
Musically, that is ... Feels
positive energy.


  Gas 13> well and stylishly. Perhaps
lacks color, and technical processing.
I would have given a place in the top five.

22. "V_pasti" by Azon Soft / Sinclair Club


  GEN> It is not clear where that same fall.
Weak shape. Obscenities with flowers
because of what boring. Although not without ideas.

23. "Vampire" by Yerzmyey / H-PRG


  GEN> This artist has a great
the future, if there is work on yourself.
Despite a lot of mistakes, the work is
positive emotions. If a strongly
carried away, can crack.

 Millennium


2. "Mushrooms" by Monarch


  GEN> Power working in unity elements,
but failed to choose colors. Mushrooms
obtained not in the foreground.


  Gas 13> Another good picture of
Monarch'a, but there is progress, change.
Certainly positive that the color
nowhere climbs, but no color
transitions, which I respect:)

3. "Girl at work" by Jorg / Selected Realms


  GEN> Good chiaroscuro, but you can not tell
what's what.


  Gas 13> looks like a Fil'a on
style and even some people on the idea;)

4. "Komin 'Vuture" by Blade / Triumph


  Gas 13> I'm very highly of this
work. But ... Unfortunately, I saw
original. Anyway I like very much
as repaint (most likely it
redrawn, not conversion) was
difficult. Especially made to its elements,
view turned out much better.

  The author of this work, I already expressed my
opinion directly, but decided to leave it
place without the wording, so my warm
words do not seem friendly flattery:)

5. "Fear in the mirror" by Demiurge Ash


  GEN> fresh and original. Very
Lovely image, although color
fragmentation is not allowed to feel the volume
head. Nevertheless, this does not detract from
virtues of work.


  Gas 13> Although I've heard only
a tip about this image
(Negative), I like it very much.
Although all the same repeat over
Background ... Would not stir.

6. "On the Edge ..." by Dr.C0dex


  GEN> You feel some sort of combination of
different styles. Looks whole and in
rhythm. Although many things are not
defined. Everyone can see everything
what he wants.


  Gas 13> Despite the fact that walk
various nasty rumors about this
work, I'll say it to me very
like. More than that. It has long been my personal
so not like that. Not a new topic, but
implementation is good. If not the first, then
at least second place. More
Still the first one! Although the theme beaten ... But
which implementation! .. Yes, the first:)

  From the author of this work, now known
nick Surv! vOr, I also became friends.
My opinion from the time of writing
remained unchanged. From him, by the way,
I learned that the picture does not
multivalued. Look at work. Be
you may be able to see what is in it
mortgaged.

13. "Dark Portal" by Spinal / FNM / Psycho


  GEN> Color Chaos. No connection
First, is not subject to a single logic.


  Gas 13> Elements of the technology is there. Must
work.


  I hope these comments on the lungs
will assist the artists in (with
creativity ... Hopefully will be less
conversion the next time ... I hope
will ever be competent jury ...


  Hope dies last ...
