I can draw, several people can draw, but I want something that is drawn well. remod's artwork looks good, irrespective of the methods by which it came about.
That's an invalid statement. It isn't remod's artwork. In order for it to be his, it would have to have been created by him. It wasn't. All of the artwork was created by other people, remod merely paid for the permission to use it. His work was putting the parts together.
His work is a derivative of other sources as he stated, and those source pieces were brought together in a novel and artistic way. Derivative works of art are still art. Semantics aside, the output artwork looks good, and for the purposes we're discussing my qualitative judgment is it is sufficient. YMMV.Do you have a positive contribution to add? Stating the obvious is… Obvious.
Obviously. :)
Let's see.... something positive.... Okay, how about this. www.reallifecomics.com is a webcomic done by someone who professes no artistic talent. It's made using SVG images put together into a comic, and entirely done in Photoshop. (Or Paintshop, I can't remember exactly, but it's an Adobe program- whichever one The gIMP is more like). In my own opinion, the comic's look is "good".
It wouldn't be hard for us to do something similar.Yep, that looks good to me too. Photoshop is the closest Adobe product to GIMP, Illustrator is close, and Paintshop is from a different vendor. Are the SVG source images his own?
Would you be willing to have a try at creating a few panels this way?
