Hi, I'd like to challenge you all to the following: Imagine if your favourite artist, be it sculptor, painter, photographer or chainsaw art-artist, and imagine what this person would do if he or she had Poser, Photoshop and/or Bryce. Anyone up to showing we're capable of more than pretty nudes ? If martin Murphy could do the stuff he did with Bryce 2, imagine what we can do :-DD ~S (who's made a crappy image w. vicki, Cambert has made a michaelangelo, jmahoney did david, and Hiram showed us how to DO it with his vallejo stuff :-)

of course they are artists. I'm trying my hand at Frank Miller myself :-) (And vermeer, but that's going to be a longer project... ) ~S

Wow, Cinema1954! Instantly recognizable. Those are right on the money. Beautiful. I'm after the Dutch Masters myself. Maybe a Rembrandt or a Vermeer.
Hiram posted Sat, 19 October 2002 at 10:19 AM
Then I saw spinner's mention of Vermeer. Oh well, Rembrant it is. Or maybe Breugels, he was Dutch wasn't he? Or Flemish? OH!!!! I just got an evil idea, you guys are gonna hate me! Be back in a few hours...
spinner posted Sat, 19 October 2002 at 10:29 AM
my mom used to take me to see the Dutch masters, and some of the Flemish ones too... and I"ll allow for Rubens, but smirk bare-ly ;-) Can't wait to see your idea, Hiram.... Mr Bosch meets Dali, perhaps ? ~S

Hiram, I've known evil, and you aren't it. Tex Avery meets H.R. Giger ... now that would be an evil idea.

You know my first wife???? She made Satan cry once.

Now THAT would be an image I'd love to see... tex Avery meets Giger. Show me, Dragon. Also, forgive my poor manners, Cinema; Your images ROCK :-) ~S

This is great! I now have a concept for Remmington (the artist, not the firearm ;-). Or maybe Remmington with a firearm ;-). He still does count as an artist doesn't he? I have to ask that since in the US, to most people Dutch Masters is a cigar ;-)
spinner posted Sun, 20 October 2002 at 5:13 AM
Amazing stuff, Cinema :-) And it figures that you damned yankees (sorry, J ;-) ) would call something as ephemeral as cigars Dutch Masters.... Sheesh ! ~S
jmahoney posted Sun, 20 October 2002 at 5:19 AM
Well, you got me there! What the Duch Masters have to do with cigars is as close as what Dali has to do with deorderant ;-). But then that's maketing for you!

I was sitting here trying to think of something to do... and it hit me... The Mona Lisa, with really big hooters. Since it is "if they had Poser, Bryce or whatever". I hit with Poser in my head first... then, well, with the large number of Watermelon pics... it just hit me. I couldn't stop laughing. While I haven't done the image, I figured I would share that momentary visual I had. :) Interesting Challenge Spinner. I saw the thread in the Tavern as well some of the images so far are outstanding!! Cant wait to see more. (and I hope that everyone keeps serious about it.. and not get humorous ideas like me. ;)

Well, I was thinking... and honestly, I think if Frank Frazetta or Dave Sim or Mark Schultz (three of my favourite artists) were to have Poser, they just wouldn't use it, and I'd simply have to post works they have actually done, which I don't have copyright on, so I can't.

Actually, Mel Brooks already beat me to it with the singing chestburster in Spaceballs: The Movie. More of a Chuck Jones thing, really (he invented Michigan J. Frog), but Jones was a disciple of Avery.

St. Paul the Hermit
This image took its inspiration from the painting of the same name by Jusepe Ribera (1591-1652). Rendered in Max, posed in Poser...

Now, this looks like Boris' work. I didn't think Hiram;s really did (sorry Hiram -- it was more Frazetta-ish), but this one really does have that effect. Maybe it's the purple and green in the skin tones. And the shininess. So, Tuttle, you did an excellent job of reproducing Boris' style. Sorry to say, that does mean I'm not terribly fond of it as a picture (I despise Boris' own work), but I do admire the skill that went into duplicating the style! Impressive!

*"sorry Hiram -- it was more Frazetta-ish"* I beg to disagree. If you had read my response to your serious albeit vitriolic critique of a ***joke***, you would have seen that your points re: Vallejo's work are quite wide of the mark and seem to be merely an opportunity to pontificate and express your favoritism of Frazetta over Vallejo of all things. I can't say I favor one over the other. On the other hand, you appear to have a fairly high opinion of yourself.
Hiram posted Mon, 04 November 2002 at 5:13 PM
Oh, tuttle, brilliant work by the way!

Thanks 2 _dodger & Hiram for the comments :)
_dodger posted Tue, 05 November 2002 at 6:56 AM
No worries, Tuttle! Hiram, your flame here was out of place. Your 'examples' on your image's comments fail to negate my observations on Vallejo's work. Please do not tick off the 'allow user comments' box if you don't want or cannot handle constructive criticism. And yes, I am self-confident. Thanks.
Hiram posted Tue, 05 November 2002 at 9:08 AM
Well that speaks volumes and I'll let it go at that. Others may decide for themselves.

I'm sorry, but I must ask again for you to please stop attempting to pick a fight with me. If you do not cease and desist, I will be forced to report this to Renderosity Admin. Personal attacks are totally out of place and in violation of the behavioural guidelines for Renderosity.

Boys boys... I'm gonna tell Boris & Frank on you both of ya. :See how either of you fair once you've been covered in oils. Now... count out 10 paces each, and come out Rendering. :)
