Art and Shit I Like
Art and how I got into it.
1.1 Works produced by human creative skill and imagination. - Oxford Living Dictionary
I started off doing really shitty drawings in 2nd grade and then got into craft painting. I learned a lot of the basics and most of it was working with stencils and basic color theory. I've been in and out of being a practicing artist for the last 10 years with only the last 2 being the point I started trying to become a professional.
Passion, dreams and thoughts on Art.
My passion for art really got ignighted in 3rd-4th grade when I bought my first manga. "D. N. Angel" it brought an idea I hadn't thought of before the concept of living art. That an artists passion and love for their craft could give their creation life. My own dreams for my art are to create living works; characters that feel alive, worlds that feel lived in, and art that moves people.
Shit I like.
- Amazing Within Reason: I am a fan of fantasy and the bizarre I do like it to make sense though.
- Classical Beauty: Thing to looks as they would if real.
- Comedy: I love to laugh and even better is to laugh in the face of horrible things. I love dark comedy.
- Double Meaning: When an action or event in a story can be interpretted in multiple ways.
- Excellent use of the "Rule of Cool": If something is awesome enough I will ignore the lapse in logic and some entertainment thrives on it.
- Mysteries: I like a sense of mystery to whatever medium I am enjoying it gets me into the world.
- Occassional simplicity: Sometimes less is more and the easy answer is the best answer.
- Substance over Specticle: While I can excuse stupidity over awesomeness. I do much prefer intelligent design and writing over the specticle.
Ideologies and the Arts.
Personally I don't mind a bit of bias in the arts when it becomes the focus though it rarely ends well. The work suffers for the message such as in the case of the movies "Get Out" and "Zootopia" or even shows like "The Legend of Korra" and "Steven Universe". In the case of all of these they are decent in some aspects, but story is usually not one of them. They sacraficed their plot for a message or even just to appeal to some group. I would say keep anything that makes sense within the plot and message.
My favorite games, shows, and movies all had some bias in them, its inevitable. The thing is to be as aware of this bias as possible and to make sure that it still makes sense that its fairly grounded. For instance looking at Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid it can be argued that its message is looking over the differences between different people and focusing on the similarities. Its fairly even handed with this with only one actual charicature for absolute bigotry. *Dragon Supremacy*
