And I'm sick to hear of c*nts robbing the lads stuff of here. I love this whole thread. I'm still
But I'll be gutted if Kitster and McPhisto stop posting their art work. I don't half enjoy them.
I know fuck all about these gizzmos, but surely there's some way of locking images in so they can't be lifted off?
Failing that, a huge electrical shock to the lifters would be nice.
Don't worry about that, lad. I'll always post up art work on this site, but just not certain stuff, or at least not a full res images of certain projects. I can always watermark them as well. It's just daft to spend hours, or in some cases days, to complete something and then just post the original up for people to knick. It's alright if it's a wallpaper thrown together within an hour or so, then I really don't mind if someone wants it, or something like an avatar like you see in Kitster's work. I can certainly understand Kitster's frustrations when someone claims a piece of original work as their own. They ever put the effort in. It's never easy to create something from scratch and is often frustrating to get right. The bird above is such an example as it's just come from imagination.
Speaking of that bird, a mate of mine seen the concept drawing of that image and he disagreed with the direction. He said that it didn't look like a Liverbird. So I said to him "have you ever seen what a real Liverbird looks like"? He went off and tried to Google a real picture of one.
Oddly enough, all he found was just a few pictures of the one on the crest, and the one on the building. The eejit thought it was a real bird. I explained to him that the idea behind the Liverbird was that it was meant to be based on an eagle but the artists never knew what one looked like. So, in essence, had they known what an eagle looked like, the design might have ended up a lot closer to the one you see in mine. I'm not sure if it would still have had the long neck, though. As it is, my version is faithful to the original, while taking on the look of what the bird was originally meant to resemble.
