coming from the tart with a unicorn in his signature.
1. I made this thread
2. You helped derail it
3. My signature started as a joke, although I am thinking about keeping it on...
4. you obviously have no appreciation for art...
5. douche.
 
that's really pretty terrible 'art'

cliche subject matter, ham-fisted dark=evil light=good dynamic, random wizard, arbitrary hot chick to appeal to fantasy nerds

You all need to take some Chill Pills®.

But, as for you "Too Cool for Opeth Because I'm Musically Elite" guys, how can you not even go back for old time's sake and listen to like ONE song every few months or something? I mean, I listen to a lot of music from tons of genres, and I always manage to head back and listen to old favourites from time to time. You guys never ever do this?

sure, ill put on patterns in the ivy pt. 2 or hope leaves or something once every couple months. i never said i didnt. i just dont "listen to opeth" in that regular sense. but i honestly cant really listen to morningrise, orchid, blackwater park, still life and most of everyting else without being pretty friggen bored these days. i spun those albums hundreds of times over about the last 7 years.

I bet you would be one of these people that think mondrian and Cezzane are shit artists but you would probably like H.R Giger or Alex Grey are amazing.

IMO there is no cliche subject matter in art due to the fact that all art is about cliche, such as still life, portraits, nature artwork etc... I wouldn't consider this the fucking peak of artistry but I don't see how it is cliche or random
 
those are styles or mediums. Or even fundementals. Cliches....No. In your picture that is a cliche style of Drawing for people that are into Dungeons and dragons. Sure it has technical skill to be able to air brush something like that ( or oil painting). But does it leave much to the imagination...No. It belongs on a manowar cover or something.
