S.H.S. Polaris

[Atticus]

So why don't you try drawing something like this, eh? Show me how to make it "un-forgeted"

Ha you're going to forget with an art major?

lol all i see is a bunch of lines

StarHawk, it is a bunch of lines.  There's no value, nor perspective, it's very easy to make.

But regardless of its simplicity, it's still a good drawing.  Quit flaming people for absolutely no reason, Atticus.

[FrAgGEr]

draw a perspective of this at a rad angle and i'll be impressed

...and dont use lined paper.

[Super Yoshi Bro]

AWSOME STAR!

StarHawk, it is a bunch of lines.  There's no value, nor perspective, it's very easy to make.

Dude... it's SUPPOSED to be a side view! There's not SUPPOSED to be perspective! It's SUPPOSED to be like you're looking at it directly from the side, not at an angle. Nor did I add shading because, as I predicted, it's hard enough to understand for quick thinkers such as yourself and Atticus as it is!

On a different note, you say that it's very easy to make, and Atticus here is an "art major"I doubt it.. I would LOVE to see you attempt to draw a warship that's HALF as detailed as mine is! Also, if you would take more than a few seconds to look at it, you would notice that there is a point to everything. There are guns, transport tubes, light arrays, scanning systems, and certain parts of it were designed to unfold into various devices such as repair arms and docking claws.

So go ahead, please, I implore you to show me how to make this better by drawing a completely new ship from scratch. Because it is easy to make, you should have no problem replicating it. Oh, and remember to not use models or pictures (the one displayed here in the first post), nor any tools such as rulers or protractors (because I didn't). I also expect, because it is easy to make, that it should take you less than an hour, because that's how long it took me.

Have fun! Oh, and if you back out of this challenge I'll know that you're lying and you're trying to put me down because you actually think it's great and you're jealous.

And PS; arn't ALL drawings just a bunch of lines?

Ha you're going to forget with an art major?

Once again, you try drawing something like this! After all, if you're an art major, and I'm a freshman in highschool, you should be able to draw something a thousand times better than this! Unless of course you're just a whiny punk who's jealous and wants to seem better than me...

[Atticus]

Why don't you look around creativity dude, i'm confident that i'm better then you

[Lalam24]

I don't like to start quarrells with fellow artists, so instead of you getting a completely idiotic bitch out from Atticus(who just so happens to not only be one of the best artists on the Blockland forum(if not the best), but also one of the stupidest people I've ever met online), I decided to put it in a more kind, and terse format.  But because you've responded in such a way, I'm going to defend as to what I find is true.

-snip-

Apparently you've completely missed the point I was trying to deliver.  I'm aware of the fact that drawings like this are supposed to be as you've shown, but does that not change the fact that drawings like this ARE simple, and that it isn't that hard of a drawing to produce?

The fact that you made up the ship(correct me if I'm wrong, but I couldn't find anything about an "S.H.S. Polaris"), shows how much more of an easy task it should've been for you to draw, as apposed to drawing a ship that has already been made, with a basic picture released, so making it would be alot harder, because copying something that intricate, and actually doing it right, would require alot more talent.

Along with that, you telling me to draw this, and saying if I don't, then I'm jealous and I think it's such an amazing work of art, is just like me telling you to go draw one of the drawings that Atticus has drawn, or you're jealous of his work, and you have to think it's amazing.  As I stated before, the drawing isn't bad, but it isn't astounding; you're talanted, but you're not as talanted as you make yourself out to be.  But regardless, I'm taking up your challenge.  I won't be doing a ship, but I'll be doing a robot, not only with depth, value, and perspective, but in two different views; on one side of the robot there'll be a fully assembled side, and on the other side, there'll be a very intricate inner body frame. Scratch that, I'll just make it extremely detailed.


On a side note:  StarHawk, don't get so worked up over such a minor comment, I was merely stating what I found to be correct.  And seeing as you aren't a complete dumbass, and a decent artist, please try to re-interpret what I wrote, not as destructive criticism, but contructive critCIAm.

Also, because I'm taking up your challenge, then take up my challenge:  Draw something similar to the picture below, or you're not better than Atticus.

[Awasp]

what program is that in lalam24

[Lalam24]

what program is that in lalam24

I think it's photoshop, but if you actually read the little description above it, then you would know that I didn't make it.  Atticus did.

[black knight]

Thats forgetin sick atticus.

[BladeOfTheHorizon]

It's a good thing it doesn't go exactly at the speed of light, because if it did, you'd need infinite energy to power it, therefore deactivating  all weapon systems and shields.

[Pimpin]

your stuff's pretty terrible starhawk

all you did was make a rough outline of a ship and then put a bunch of loving lines everywhere and call it 'detail'

then you made up reasons for your lines, and gave the ship random stats

52 disruptors 26 torcreep bays 12 tractor beam projectors HOT DAMN!

doesn't make your art suck any less, sorry

anybody who knows anything about art would look down on your work

who can't do that? all you need is a steady hand

atticus is loving amazing and in terms of art... uhh... i can't think of any clever way to say this, so i'll just flatout say it:

you're terrible in comparison

[StarHawk]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't see Atticus drawing space ships. I will admit it; I can't draw monsters. I can't draw peope. I can't draw animals. I can't draw nature. I can't. And I'll be the first on to admit it. But I'll also be the first one to say that it does take tallent to produce something like this. ESPECIALLY if I'm making it out of my head! It takes WAY more tallent to replicate an image out of my head than it does to trace an image that's already in front of you!

As for Atticus, someone go take a look around World of Warcraft or some other game like that! All he had to do is take a basic body shape and add a spider head to it! Not all that hard to do either!

The fact that you made up the ship shows how much more of an easy task it should've been for you to draw, as apposed to drawing a ship that has already been made, with a basic picture released, so making it would be alot harder, because copying something that intricate, and actually doing it right, would require alot more talent.

So, you're saying that it takes more tallent to replicate an image that's staring you in the face than it does to create your own image? Would that then mean that if I replicated Atticus's drawing, then I would have more tallent than he has, because he actually made it up, and I just copied him? Or maybe Atticus copied that drawing from something else, and therefore has more tallent than the person who actually made it. And maybe then, if I build a lego set in Blockland that exists in real life by looking at the instructions, than I would have superior tallent to the person who created that set in the first place!

And besides, I don't claim to be better than Atticus! Why are you comparing me to him anyway? He drew a monster and I drew a star ship. They're two different things! No offense to Atticus, his drawing is great and all, far better than what I could have done, but while Atticus is strong in drawing mosters, I'm strong in drawing technology. You can't compare our two drawings because they're different in almost every way!

[Pimpin]

you're lying to yourself kid

come on

your ship is terrible

it's just a bunch of loving lines

that isn't art that's a loving doodle

EDIT: the lines aren't even straight

It takes alot more hand-eye coordination to draw something that has already been made up.  Thing is, if you make something up yourself, then you don't have to follow any basic proportions.  And yes, if someone manages to completely redraw something that someone else has done, and makes it look almost the exact same, then it is more likely that they have more talent.  Also, being given basic instructions to build a lego set is alot different from drawing something.

Quit acting as if this is the best drawing that has ever been posted on the Blockland forum.  Your art doesn't compare to most of the other art in Creativity.

you're lying to yourself kid

come on

your ship is terrible

Quote for loving truth.
