Well, for sure chat isn't the right place for grievances. But to clarify a potential confusion: the list of rooms is a list of active rooms. To see inactive rooms, there's a button at the bottom of the room list page. The sorting options aren't the most intuitive or useful, but the rooms to which you're referring are visible to everyone who sifts through the list of frozen rooms associated with this Stack.
yeah, I couldn't help but think he was spoiling for a fight. So, what with all the commotion going on on Meta, I'd like to confer with a mod to see if I was right in saying so. Could be I'm just making it worse.
OK, he just did it again. I think he's just trying to piss people off. Gonna take Ryan's advice: flag and forget.
Yeah; as a general rule when someone is being a jerk, it's not a good idea to engage with them. Comments aren't a good place for useful resolution of social conflict.
@BESW: you're absolutely right, let's all just forget about it. I've flagged it, the mods will review it and deal with it. Now let's all talk about something a little more fun :)
I see, indeed, you had to find something that covers more than one topic. Did you tell the people you do that for or will let them discover it? I guess they asked
Part of my reputation is based on finding ways to customise material where generic work would suffice.
For example, when designing theatre advertisements I use colours from the sets and textures from the costumes so the poster contains elements of that particular production.
yes indeed... tricky when you need to add sponsors logos, there's always a minimum size. I noticed you did very well with the vagina monologue one, so much text but it's super clear with perfect emphasis
well, I was trying to find you a great quote from Victor Hugo on this but I never remember a word translated in english... I need to verify if it makes sense
So the quote is something like "great artists have chance in their talent, and talent in their chance". Don,t know if that makes sense (Les grands artistes ont du hasard dans leur talent et du talent dans leur hasard.)
@BESW I'm saying this to refer to your use of the fold in the paper earlier. Meaning you found a clever way to use it and great artists see opportunities everywhere
And sometimes something you didn't expect ends up awesome.. but you can't humbly get all the credit heehee Well, I like that quote. I can admit not all I do has been planned, sometimes there's a bit of "happy luck" that makes me look like a "genius"!
Thanks Piebie!
These 2 words would fit well indeed, I used google translate because I know hasard has a very different meaning in english :/
exactly: sometimes an unplanned coincidence improves your work greatly, regardless of your talent. But someone talented will spot these coincidences faster
So what's your process? You put some loud industrial music and start drawing each font one by one in Illustrator, and then test each of them with the others or ...?
There's probably an answer on this somewhere, excluding the music choice ;)
I see, not easy. I don't do much writing with brush in Photoshop, it looks like a 3yo graffiti usually. Anyway I think my general writing look like it, I guess it's the same for everybody who use computer to write everything. Lol@Vincent
@go-junta MMLP2 has some amazing lyrics on songs such as Rhyme or Reason, Rap God, and Brainless, to name a few. The older ones are much more actively violent, as opposed to the newer ones being more passively violent, or just verbally.
@go-junta I think Future has gotten a lot better in the past year or so. His new album, DS2 (Dirty Sprite 2), is pretty good, as well as his collaboration album with Drake.
@go-junta Sometimes you listen to songs on loop, though. :P it look me 201 listens to learn all the lyrics to Rap God (without reading the lyrics from Rap Genius or something similar, which would've made it too easy)
Well maybe I look too much into it (as I think english speaker say), but I don't just enjoy the art of these kind of artists. In our modern time, and in every generation, we get those extraordinary creators who just go against the tide. And they're very human and own their stuff. So I admire Eminem too for this. He's not just a singer, he's some kind of Cynic philosopher too.
Hi @joojaa, welcome to MusicInkSpot Thursday Fun Party
I like the Drake x Future you sent earlier. I just can't listen to that kind of "low key" (or whatever it's called) for too long haha! Makes me feel like I'm melting, like it's super slow. I'll need to check the other songs, only listened to one so far
I really need to read the lyrics otherwise I'm missing the main part of the song. Thanks, on Colossus now. Buffallo video seems quite nice even if a bit controversial ;)
I like the Bob Ross painting and colors! One thing, you need more contrast or to lighten a bit the background behind the text.. maybe by adding a low transparency (like 30% layer transparency) of white blur or light blue/gray behind the text
Overall pretty shiny! Maybe a little too midtoney though? The text and the illustration don't differentiate much and I'm not seeing any deep darks or bright lights.
Putting fiddly text (script typeface) on fiddly backgrounds (detailed landscape) with similar contrasts (mostly darkish midtones) will inevitably reduce readability.... at this point in the project contrast adjustment is probably the easiest fix.
Earlier in the project, I'd've suggested designing the landscape so its brighter, less detailed elements coincide with there the text will be placed: for example, expanding and re-positioning the smooth white snowy mountainsides.
I like to use some subtle transparent blur behind texts (not the layer style text outer glow), and to hide that "flashy" effect, I use other colors than white. Like on this one I'd use some color from the mountain so it doesn't make the blur too obvious but add contrast by hiding a bit the darker parts of the mountain.
I really like the individual elements you've got there, though. They're just not quite complementing each other, instead getting in each others' way; it's a problem the inspiration material has too.
In what sense a NURBS surface can only have the topology of a plane, cylinder or torus ?
For example I can do a NURBS sphere.
Is the sphere homeomorphic to one of the above surfaces ?
I ran into a similar foliage/text conflict with my Rashomon poster a few months ago, but I was able to modify the way the light fell through the leaves so that the leaves would be much lighter behind the text.
hey @BESW Don't know if I sent you this already but it might interest you. Kind of cool if you want to build prototypes of board games printplaygames.com/prototypes
@ZachGates I'm not sure. No true blacks does help with the "faded 80s" feel of the illustration; without that aesthetic goal I'd be a lot more sure it needed blacks.
@go-junta "I got a letter from somebody here a while back, and they said, 'Bob, everything in your world seems to be happy.' That's for sure. That's why I paint. It's because I can create the kind of world that I want, and I can make this world as happy as I want it. Shoot, if you want bad stuff, watch the news." - Bob
That's very nice, and I do think he was truly a good guy ;) Just funny to imagine those ultra zen people flipping tables sometimes. I'm sure they're adorable even when they do so
Someone chooses a random topic and we have 20minutes to create something. There's no prize and it's for fun! And I don't know if it's right now but soon if we get enough people!
Maybe we should do the contest another time :/ Not many people because of the holiday I think. @Noctrice There's a way to "subscribe" to get ping when it happens, but I don't know how to add you to that list. @Vincent Maybe you can help for this or guide Noctrine?
@PieBie Yes it's hard for me to participate too sometimes. Nothing stops us from doing some improvied contests for fun too sometimes and more in the european timezone!
