Meanwhile… on the subject of Vangelis… it’s kinda ironic that we’re talking about copying (or not)… https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/vangelis-chariots-of-fir..
@Electric. What is you goal? What is your crusade leads to? I dont expect D-Mage to do next images. Do you want other graphicians stop doing c64 stuff too? Then only you and "real" pixel artist remain on scene? And yes, I understand all the arguments but for me demoscene is a place to share my passion with others. How they do it is their onw choice as long as we dont harm eachother. Your crusade Electric is IMO harmful. I have enough of it. Thanks for ruining it for me.
orange pixels in Vangelis' beard.
...
or how about none of them and instead envious pixelers guilty of doing the same thing stop acting like the spanish inqusition to discredit their competitors.
This is such nonsense. Why this hostility and tries at personal counter-attacks? Why not instead try to communicate like adults do and focus on the matter? I understand you're trying to defend Talent, but this is not the right way to do it. This bullshit just prolongs the agony when it's already pretty clear that the pic is a direct conversion of some other artist's work with some additional manual pixeling. The red tint on the beard is not the only telltale sign of this. ...I promise to be a better scener from now on and in the future releases mention if I use conversion, AI, references, whatnot. Because... why not
Frankly, what bothers me is that those 2 guys were literally crapping over Electric and The Sarge with bullshit “arguments” and you don’t seem to mind that at all.
cost of scaring Talent off the scene
well, go ahead, eletric. i am wondering whats wrong with you. just because you are not able to do such masterful dithering, does not mean it must be automized.
This looks like a straight convert, congrats for your 2nd place. Love Lisa
Our “history” part of the Pixeled Years -exhibition presenting demoscene had ONE original Finnish C64 fullscreen pixel image from 80s-90s. Rest used references fully or partially. There’s lots to dig into.
Maybe you better work on your technique, instead of throwing mud.
This is about exposing hypocrisy.
It has been shown that, Electric, The Sarge, 4gentE are all guilty for reworking existing pictures.
... Indeed I don't see much changing but just hope to see us all paying attention to these - gfxers, coders, musicians, party orgs, moderators +++
"... full retard ..."
I am an atheist, but I always liked the "who is without sin may throw first" sentiment.
