- denominator, on 07/06/2008, -53/+448Why on earth is everybody getting buried? Right.. One liner comments that do not add on or influence the topic at hand with an opinion. All this 5min conspiracy theory as well.. How unfortunate.
On to relevance.. I truly am in awe at what people can do within Photoshop to create something from nothing so elegantly.. The process of painting something with a simple brush and color tool in Photoshop will most probably be something I will never master in my lifetime. Not to mention the fact that this seems to be much like what many artist can accomplish on canvass, which has been around for far longer than any PC based artistic program.
Whoever created this should take pride in their ability. :) - seabass341, on 07/06/2008, -62/+253relatively well done

I think on some days, at certian times with certian articles users get bury happy. I applaude your effort to make a valid comment on the post in question.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -3/+76Dugg for attempted joke at relativity (I think?)
- Sonof8Bits, on 07/06/2008, -10/+82Congrats on the only dugg comment
- denominator, on 07/06/2008, -1/+62Thanks, and thanks for the reply.. I was beginning to wonder what was happening here, and whether or not I was the only one actually interested in the complexities of this article's video. Making a valid comment doesn't seem to sway the masses as much these days.
Take care bond. - mistersomebody8, on 07/07/2008, -8/+60more like E=CS3
- Konstantino, on 07/06/2008, -12/+60You don't have any grammar skills either! ;)
- ennio, on 07/06/2008, -1/+43I dugg both of you up, give ya'll some breathing room. hopefully omeone comes along and does the same..
- tehknotte, on 07/06/2008, -1/+42Yay a safe haven!
- tdskate, on 07/06/2008, -26/+59Quick everybody, LET'S DIGG every comment back UP !!!
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -4/+36The answer was "no, you do not need to say it", but you said it before you gave me time to answer you.
- Radan, on 07/06/2008, -2/+33Though, what I find very frustration is how painting with the use of a wacom tablet instead of a regular canvas, isn't considered as "art" among the masses, simply because "one just pressed a button on the computer to create it".
While it is indeed possible to create a lot of things simply by using premade brushes, but real painting, like this and even more, art where the artist fully uses the potential of Photoshop, is in my opinion at least, as good if not better than most of the crap that "real" artists sell for thousands of euros.
Now, I know that I most likely wasted my time here, since this comment will most likely get buried to oblivion like the rest, which is a shame as I think denominator started a rather interesting thread here. - avatarpalin, on 07/07/2008, -1/+28because every action has an equal and opposite reaction
- thegodfaza, on 07/06/2008, -17/+42PROOF that you can make art with photoshop.
- ginestony, on 07/06/2008, -3/+27You should learn to appreciate people with talents instead. It would benefit both you and the artist that way. The artist would have more inspiration to make more artwork, and you would have more things to watch and enjoy.
- Issius, on 07/07/2008, -2/+19Alright, you go do it. You can't mess up, right?
- elnerdo, on 07/06/2008, -1/+17Who the heck said that?
- MrSidnet, on 07/06/2008, -2/+18Gotta love the "Learn how to paint by seeing"! After watching the vid, I feel no more enabled to paint this than before.
- olieday, on 07/06/2008, -90/+103This is incredible...a true talent.
- stockdam, on 07/06/2008, -19/+31Very talented......very realistic.
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -2/+14No you didn't.
- Joshuarr, on 07/06/2008, -7/+19You illustrate that point so well...
- Jashro, on 07/07/2008, -0/+12Generally or specially?
- ashes0, on 07/06/2008, -1/+12No, I would say you don't have letters...
- seantubridy, on 07/06/2008, -6/+17The "clearly photoshopped" comments must stop. They're so far past their expiration date that they're growing mold and attracting flies.
- evil-doer, on 07/06/2008, -2/+12wacoms (i dont know if all of them are like this) have a clear plastic on the top that you can put pictures UNDER to trace.
- lolwhatno, on 07/06/2008, -2/+12I don't like kittens anyway.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -2/+11I think the words you're looking for are ***** PISS ***** ***** ***** ***** *****.
- Wadajoobadude, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8On art being so expensive:
While I understand many pieces of art are way overpriced, there is a flip-side to the debate.
Making art is super expensive. Seriously, I just do stenciling on large canvas and It comes out to almost $100. It's on cheap canvas too. If you start using top of the line materials, and you are trying to make a living off of art, things are going to start being expensive. - denominator, on 07/06/2008, -4/+12:o
Artists have some very odd layering techniques to come up with a final product. Have you ever seen the artists that use layered spray painting techniques to come up with vibrant and detailed art? Here in Vancouver they have been hanging around a popular area downtown doing it right on the spot.. I could never figure out how they could perceive the final product of layered spraying!
Some things are best left to the ones able to do them. It should be this mentality everywhere but in politics.. Look at Bush :[ - Caalro, on 07/06/2008, -3/+11That is not true.
When he zooms into different parts of the painting, or moves around, he would have to have a new 'picture' of what he is tracing over because what he is drawing on will have changed. The use of blurs and soft brushes alone disprove that he is a 'tracer'.
Face the facts, some people goto school and learn how to draw / use a wacom / do this stuff for a living EVERY DAY. I'm sure he practiced the initial layout a few times to get it working, but after that, all skill. - denominator, on 07/06/2008, -2/+9I have never truly been exposed to today's current art scene, so I would have no idea whether or not digital art mediums such as Photoshop are widely accepted.. But I must have to agree with you with what you implied, which is how art should be valued as what it is attempting to realize as opposed to how it is actually created..
If Dali's 'Persistence of Memory' (the melting clocks painting) was drawn with a pencil, brush, sculpture or in our case, a digital art program, I'd still enjoy it for the message it brings to me.

No, you didn't waste your time :p - JoeJim, on 07/06/2008, -1/+8You must be kidding.
MM ended up with, among others, Arthur Miller ( a man any "good guy" could find something to like about).
And, since when can the brothers Kennedy be referred to as the "JFK brothers," or as "bad boys?"
And what about Joe DiMaggio?
This might be the dumbest comment I've ever seen on digg. - magic6435, on 07/06/2008, -5/+12wtf are you talking about? what is 5MIN SPAM? its a cool ass video.... its not even to a personal webpage of blog.... get a life.
- elnerdo, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6There is no such thing as the "bury brigade" It's just regular people. What happens is a bunch of comments get legitimately buried, and a bunch of people think that it is funny and/or cool, so they start burying everything.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -1/+7Actually, a fair amount of it is opaquely photoshopped.

10. Digg. - Konstantino, on 07/06/2008, -6/+11Dude, that was almost a year ago. A lot of people haven't seen this yet. I know I haven't!
- Iwantawii, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6Pretty controversial post, +72/-70
Might have to bury this in case there's a subtle joke I'm not getting… - Rammy912, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6@ psion01:
Do you? Really? - lolwhatno, on 07/06/2008, -3/+7Because idiots keep posting absolute *****. The comments have absolutely nothing to do with the posted material, much like yours.
- ghostoftomjoad, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4people who remember front page digg stories from a year ago should be banned too
- fatb0y42, on 07/07/2008, -3/+7why is he gettting digged down??
- soupnrc, on 07/07/2008, -1/+5Yea, except I didn't actually LEARN how to digitally paint Einstein.... I just kind of watched somebody do it really fast.
- TheSnuffster, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4You missed the T in FTW
- eminem213486, on 07/07/2008, -1/+5Ur Doin it RONG!
