only speculate that people are mostly picking on it because it was posted in a sort of bragging, show-off manner.

Now that's a much better explanation than jealousy. That's partially the reason I picked on it.
"How's my artwork?"
"Terrible."
Also, most of it is rubbish.

How should i know that his hair isnt a hat, when it certainly looks like one? And looking at that facial hair again, it must be glued on.

Well whatever is going on with your hair, it looks better down.

Yeah we liked you as Jesus. The internet has spoken.

i think that it's wrong to insult this guy. even if he did trace the gandalf picture, it still took him a lot of patience to do so. also, you can learn a lot about drawing by tracing something.

Setting the in itself quite relevant topic of Helm's facial hair aside for the moment, I maintain that I personally do not find the MS Paint thing (you know, the topic of this thread) particularly impressive or enjoyable as an artwork. I don't really think that's an insult. More importantly, I think it's pretty pointless to admire an accomplishment solely on the amount of time invested in creating it. (Unless it's as awesome as Henry Lim's LEGO harpsichord, which I will continue to bring up in this thread until it receives more praise than the MS Painting.) Okay, he spent days tracing pop culture references in MS Paint, and he might have learnt something in the process (though evidently ut wasn't tact). Good for him. I still don't like the result.

I think that Henrys' hapsichord takes a lot more courage, talent, brain, ideas, creativity, patience, technique, love and alcohol (maybe), to do, than a HUGe (and beautifull in my terms), MS Paint pic.

Henry is apparent that studied a lot before starting to build his hapsichord.
He had an original idea to begin with.
He had the technical ability to do it.
There is no way he could've traced it (lol)
And I really believe that he learned a lot in the process, but also I think that he has to offer a lot: To leanr about the hapsichord, a rather (not a lot but...) rare instument.

I honestly hope that EldKatt will keep on bringing him up!

That takes awesome to new extremes

He might have traced it, lied, and bragged about it. But I still like the picture. Doesn't mean I agree with how he's showing it off.

ManicMatt · Tue 21/02/2006 22:13:56

Really? Hmm if I found out one of my fave muscians had ripped off some other band's songs and made it their own, I'd no longer be able to listen to it without gritting my teeth.

Grapefruitologist · Tue 21/02/2006 22:19:53

I acctually listen to some bands that ripped off some sounds from other people...

I really don't judge art by its maker.

ManicMatt · Tue 21/02/2006 22:38:23

I don't mean in the hip-hop sense of sampling songs, nor cover versions, I meant like if a band totally ripped something off and claimed it as their own. That's not what you meant was it?

MrColossal · Tue 21/02/2006 23:02:04

It's ok though...

It's just a picture on the internet.

Grapefruitologist · Tue 21/02/2006 23:08:51

Well, it's not a rap song, I don't really know, I just heard that this one band that I kinda like stole some stuff from elsewhere and that it wasn't going to be sold in the U.S. because of that (but luckily I was able to get it off a russian site!)
My brother told me, but that's all I know.
